Description provided by KilroyWasHere on YouTube:

DEFENDERS OF THE WILD - 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. Defenders of the Wild is a fully cooperative game. All players win or lose together and must cooperate to destroy the machine core by completing 2 objectives together: 1) All factories built by the machines must be rewilded. 2) Each player must build all of their camps. Tactical area control meets fantasy adventure in this card-driven cooperative game of animals against machines for 1-4 players from the designer of PARKS and the creator of Bloc by Bloc.
