WELCOME TO THE HUNT
"We save people that can't save themselves, from things they don't even know exist."
Enter the world of HUNTED, a cooperative Expandable Card Game for 1–4 players. Unravel atmospheric mysteries, survive terrifying encounters, and confront the supernatural—where no two cases are ever the same.
Hunters must complete trials, search locations and gather information they can use to progress the case and neutralise the enemy monsters, demons, and supernatural anomalies lurking in the shadows. In this unforgiving world, the threats are endless and the environment itself actively works against you. One wrong step and you'll become just another cautionary tale.
Your hunt doesn't end with the core set. As an Expandable Card Game, the world of Hunted evolves through future expansions. These provide entirely new cases, customisable modular options, and add new Hunters to your roster with there own ways to help save the world.
Placeholder cards. Subject to change.

CHOOSE A CASE
Choose a Case, set aside its Objective cards, and gather the specified Encounter sets (separating Lore Entries, Omens, Locations, and Antagonists). Randomly set aside one secret Antagonist, box the rest, place all tokens within reach, and resolve any remaining Case Briefing instructions.
EQUIP YOUR HUNTER
After selecting your Hunter, place their Hunter card in your play area and their corresponding standee directly at the Safehouse location. Grab your pre-built Journal, shuffle in one random Flaw, and place it in your play area. Draw cards equal to your Hunter's starting hand size.
ASSEMBLE DECKS
Shuffle the gathered Encounter sets along with your chosen difficulty set into a single face-down Encounter Deck. Set the Endgame Dial to the starting value printed on your Case Briefing card. Finally, shuffle the Omen Deck and place it alongside all game tokens within clear view and easy reach of all Hunters.
BUILD THE MAP
Combine the locations from your Encounter sets with random ones from your collection to total 9. Shuffle and deal them face-down into a 3x3 grid, leaving enough spacing around each location to tuck cards beneath. Place the Safehouse face-up to the left of the middle row, then shuffle all Lore Entries nearby.
