Engage in tactical combat and survival environment with stunning artwork by award winner illustrator Oscar Martin, in a dystopian world of anthropomorphic animals. Cannibal World is an expandable dueling card game where you fight as one of four factions in a post-apocaliptic world. You will be able to customize your faction's deck as you see fit. The gameplay revolves around strategic deck management, resource allocation, and tactical combat. Players alternate turns, drawing cards from their Main or Reinforcement Decks, and use meat counters to perform various actions, such as summoning creatures, initiating combat, or activating abilities. Combat is central to gameplay, where players use creatures to attack their opponent's creatures or attempt to ransack their opponent's habitat. Combat is resolved through damage mechanics, with both melee and ranged attacks. The gameplay's focus on tactical decisions, resource management, and faction-specific abilities creates a highly strategic and engaging experience. Victory is achieved through two main conditions: eliminating all of the opponent's creatures (from play, hand, and deck), or ransacking their habitat three times. -description from the publisher
