Beastlord is a fantasy wargame of hidden movement (using dummy counters), magic, spies, ambushes, goblins, elves, and monsters of all sorts. The map shows the entire valley where the action takes place at the "strategic" level, and close-up tactical maps used to resolve the specific encounters (somewhat like Titan's main map and battlelands). The players pursue different victory point schedules, drawn from a set of cards.
