About the game
2 Protect, Rest Attack is a free, browser-based tactical game for two or more players. One player becomes the Hunted: a lone human survivor who picks two animal groups to protect them. Every other player takes one of the remaining animal groups and closes in from the mountains, forest, desert, swamp or tundra.
How a round plays out
- The host creates a camp and shares the five-character code.
- Roles are assigned — either chosen by the host or drawn at random.
- Each side picks its animals and a starting terrain on the 20×20 hex map.
- Turns run through five phases: initiative, movement, leadership, combat and end. Dice, stat matchups and terrain bonuses decide everything.
- The Hunted wins by surviving ten turns or wiping out the pack. The pack wins the moment the human falls.
The full stat profiles and terrain tables live in the field manual.
