About the game

What is Ferox?

A sadistic film crew. Tribes of unforgiving cannibals. A battle of unparalleled brutality. 2 players MUST fight to the death in a jungle of HORRORS where there is only one law: KILL OR BE KILLED. Ferox is an asymmetrical 2-player card battling game inspired by the cannibal exploitation films of the 1970's and 80's. One player controls a film crew that has crashed in a hostile jungle and must escape, the other plays the native tribes intent on destroying any trace of the invaders. Through careful card drafting, hand management, and the manipulation of a shared resource pool, players must outwit each other and achieve their goals at all costs.
