Ranger Danger is a cooperative, 1-4 player board game where each player takes the role of a park ranger who has become separated from the rest whilst camping in a perilous forest: to win, they must find the central path again, reunite with the rest of the team, and make their way home. However, the forest is full of all manner of monsters and beasties who emerge once the sun sets, and the team must make their escape before the night fully draws in.
Each game of Ranger Danger proceeds over two distinct phases of play:
In Phase 1 (“Build the Forest”), players place tiles on the board to map out forest paths that will bring them back together and help them find the exit; placing monsters where required. In Phase 2 (“Escape!”), players move around the board, battling enemies and trying to survive long to make their way to the ‘Home’ tile.
If all four Rangers reach the central ‘Home’ tile before the Forest Tile stack has been fully depleted, they will successfully survive the forest and win the game.
