Description provided by the creator on YouTube:

Support me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/boardgamesanctuary Skulk Hollow Board Game Review & Runthrough Card Management Action Point 2 Player Game Designer: Eduardo Baraf, Seth Johnson, Keith Matejka Artist: Dustin Foust, Sebastián Koziner, Keith Matejka, Helen Zhu Publisher: Pencil First Games, LLC, Thunderworks Games Inspired by the 80's Arcade style Boss Battle games and the more latter game Shadow of the Colossus, Skulk Hollow taps into the nostalgic elements of fighting a massive guardian. In a David Vs Goliath style scenario, the Foxen Heroes of Skulk Hollow are faced with the ever rising Guardians of the neighbouring forests. The Foxen heros must band together to scale these ginormous giants and defeat them before their home is destroyed. Skulk Hollow is played across two game boards, one that represents the world of Bore and the other representing the Guardian itself. The asymmetric nature of the game means that the match ups and games will feel different each time. Additionally, there are 4 different Foxen Hero leaders to choose from. This tactical style war came reminiscent of the board game Root is a fun and approachable game experience that is a must have game from 2019! The Board Game Sanctuary is a family friendly board game channel that aims to introduce the board gaming hobby to new and seasoned players in a light, fun and humourous way.

About Skulk Hollow, from BoardGameGeek:

THE GREAT RETURN Over generations and generations the ancient woodland of Børe prospered and grew. The world was bestowed with great spirit, which lifted the animals of the land to new heights. Unfortunately, over the years these clans lost touch with the spirit of the land and faction warring developed. The Foxen Kingdom of Skulk Hollow in the South, The spiritual Red Pandas of Cupboard in the North, the Mischievous Mice of Multon in the West, and the colony of Blackheart Bunnies in the East. As skirmishes started breaking out across the continent, lives lost, there was a monstrous shake and then The Great Return. No one quite knows why, but the Guardians have risen - but not the kind, life-giving Guardians of spiritual legend. Dark, ferocious, versions that are now attacking all the kingdoms of the land. OBJECTIVE In Skulk Hollow, two players take the roles of either a towering behemoth of a Guardian trying to eliminate the clans of foxes who have been causing havoc on the countryside, or a band of foxen heroes out to vanquish the evil beast that has been terrorizing the land and reunite the four kingdoms of Børe. The Guardian wins the game by either eliminating the Foxen King, or by gaining enough Tribute. The Foxen Heroes wins the game by eliminating the Guardian. GAMEPLAY Skulk Hollow is a 2-player, asymmetric, tactical combat game. Player use action cards to move their units, summon, and use special abilities. Taking down a guardian requires the Foxen player to leap onto the Guardian player board and take out different parts of the character.
