About the game

What is Alpaca?

Admit it, you've always wanted to farm soft, cute, cuddly, adorable alpacas. This is your chance! Alpaca is a competitive deck-building game that pits players against one another in the competitive world of alpaca farming. Players each begin with an identical deck of alpaca cards and fence materials. Customize your deck with alpacas from the market, and build a strategy to take advantage of each alpaca's special ability. You score points for each alpaca on your farm and any purchased endgame bonus cards. The interaction with other players will get tighter as soon as the rules are clearer... run to buy a new alpaca! —description from the publisher
