About this board game

Prey Another Day is a deduction game for 2–5 players that takes about 20 minutes to play. Across multiple rounds, players choose from their five animals and send them on the hunt, competing to capture food markers.

The animal kingdom is a game of strength, timing, and escape. Large predators can hunt smaller animals, but their nimble prey can easily get away. To succeed, you must use your animal instincts to outwit the other players and deduce which animals they are sending to hunt.

Every round presents a meaningful choice. The stronger animals can hunt early, giving them an advantage in the order of play. However, the weaker animals offer more points, creating a tempting alternative for players who are willing to wait and assess the situation.

  • Play with 2–5 players.
  • Complete rounds by choosing from your five animals.
  • Deduce which animals your opponents are sending on the hunt.
  • Capture food markers to move closer to victory.

The challenge in Prey Another Day comes from judging both your own choices and the intentions of your opponents. Strong animals may act quickly, while weaker animals can provide greater rewards, so every decision helps shape the hunt.

The first player to capture 5 food markers is crowned the munch king. Released in 2023, this compact game combines animal-themed deduction with a race for food, making each round a contest of reading the table and choosing the right animal at the right time.
