Tracks of Death - Hunt System Upgrade (Patreon)

Author: Venim and Maximo1984  

The track system adds agency to the Hunt Event phase by allowing the departing survivors to choose between 3 distinct tracks, each with their own dangers and rewards. Each adds a simple and yet meaningful decision to offset the purely random chance of the hunt phase.  

When you begin your hunt phase you will have the option to choose between 3 tracks; Your choice determines how you want to travel towards your prey. You may either take The Beaten Path, The Monster's Trail, or The Unknown Way.  

Tracks of Death Rules In order to use the route system, add these to the existing rules for the Hunt Board Setup.  

Look through and sort the Hunt Event: Tracks of Death cards into 3 decks according to their Track Name, found below the title of each card. If a card does not have a route name, then do not add it to any deck and keep it archived in the box until specified.  

Before leaving the Start Space the first event revealer decides which track to take. Return the other Track Decks to the box, assemble and shuffle the Chosen Route Deck.  

For the duration of the Hunt Phase, whenever any game text instructs you to roll on the Hunt Event Table, or have any unspecified Basic Hunt Event; shuffle and draw a card from your current Chosen Track Deck instead.  

Upon reaching and completing Overwhelming Darkness (or its replacement), the players have the option to select a new route as their Chosen Track Deck. Shuffle (and construct) the new deck if necessary. This effect only occurs the first time you complete the Overwhelming Darkness event.
