From BoardGameGeek
Nothing has been the same since the alien monstrosity darkened our scorched skies, their cybernetic shadow spreading dread across the Wasteland. Their eyes are dead set on our camps and water supply. We, the animal denizens of the Wasteland, have branded them, the CLAW! Old rivalries must be thrown aside as we dig deep and find strength together against this fearsome presence or risk facing possible extinction. Together we must recruit the fearless dwellers and unite the four clans; Rabbit, Skunk, Raccoon, and Squirrel! We’ll carve a hidden path beneath the shifting dunes to the heart of their mechanical bird and destroy it once and for all. CLAW is a cooperative game where players assume the role of 1 of 4 factions to hold off the CLAW's assault over the course of 4 rounds. Players will build their decks, take actions, gather resources, avoid dangerous sandstorms, and construct epic vehicles to battle the CLAW to protect life in the Wasteland. The CLAW will reveal its secret action once per round, giving players agency over its next big move while simultaneously unleashing its attacks on players by following arrow paths toward the water supply. Can you outlast the threat of the CLAW?
