Description provided by the creator on YouTube:
Tactical area control meets fantasy adventure in this card-driven cooperative game of animals against machines from the designer of PARKS and the creator of Bloc by Bloc.
Join your fellow animal defenders to clear pollution, fight mechs, breach walls, build camps, and rewild factories across a modular map that changes with each game. Play as one of four unique animal factions: the Council with its fortitude and bread, the Order with its wisdom of the flame, the Sect with its ingenious inventions, or the Coven with its spells and subterfuge. Can the defenders band together to heal the land and defeat the machine invasion? Or will the Commonwood succumb to an endless industrial winter? It’s up to you and your comrades to decide.

About Defenders of the Wild, from BoardGameGeek:
In Defenders of the Wild, players are organizers of the animal resistance, fighting to liberate an important region of the Commonwood conquered by the machine occupation. Construction has begun on a new machine core and sprawling factory complex where an animal village once stood. Engines build walls that enclose habitat after habitat while mechs guard expanding factories and toxic pollution spreads.
Organizers must cooperate with each other despite longstanding factional disagreements and help their network of fellow Defenders take actions in the right locations and at the right times in order to win this crucial battle. Fight mechs, clear pollution, breach walls, build camps, and rewild factories before the machines complete construction of the core. Can the Defenders work together to defeat the machine invasion? Or will the Commonwood succumb to a devastating industrial winter? It's up to you and your comrades to decide.
Winning the Game: Defenders of the Wild is a fully cooperative game. All players win or lose together. To destroy the machine core and win the game, each player must build all of their camps and then infiltrate the machine core.
Losing the Game: If the supply of machine components is not sufficient to fully resolve a drawn machine or factory card, the game ends and all players lose if 2 defenders from the same habitat are killed, the game ends and all players lose.
