Read the full game description

Legendary Encounters: A Predator Deck Building Game contains two distinct games built on the same cinematic deck-building engine. In Hunted mode, one to five players cooperate as human roles from Predator and Predator 2. Each turn pushes a hidden enemy through the Wilds toward the Combat Zone while players recruit stronger character cards, scan concealed threats, coordinate attacks, and complete three escalating objectives before the Predator kills the team. In Hunter mode, every player controls a Predator, equips gear, avoids traps, passes tests, and hunts visible prey for honor while watching for attacks from rival hunters. More than 700 cards support both movies, mix-and-match scenarios, adjustable difficulty, and cross-game combinations with Legendary Encounters: Alien. The two modes create a rare deck-builder that can move from tense cooperation to sharp competitive play without requiring another base set.
