The Wolves: A Quick Guide to the Game | Board Game Shortcut

How to Play The Wolves in just a few minutes!

In The Wolves, a strategic area control board game for 2 to 5 players, you’ll lead a powerful pack of wolves to conquer territories and expand your domain. As a pack leader, you'll build dens, recruit lone wolves, and even steal territory from rival packs! Using Alpha Wolves, you can strengthen your pack's ability to hunt, conquer, and defend the regions you claim. The game is fast to learn but offers deep strategic choices, with gameplay that evolves as your pack grows stronger.

In this video, I’ll guide you step-by-step through the rules, so you can start playing in no time.

This was one of my first attempts at translating my board game tutorials into English, so please bear with me if my accent or phrasing sounds a bit unusual! I’m still learning, but I’m confident you’ll still get the hang of the game. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
