About the game
Prey Another Day is a bluffing card game where players send animals out on the hunt, choosing between stronger predators that can act early but score fewer points, or weaker prey that yield bigger rewards. Over several rounds, players simultaneously reveal their chosen animal and try to deduce what everyone else is planning to send. The first player to collect five food markers is crowned the winner. It's a quick, print-and-play-friendly game of simultaneous selection and light deduction from noted designers Matthew Dunstan and Brett J. Gilbert.
Hobbli's Notes
This is a snappy, portable game where the tension comes almost entirely from guessing what your opponents will commit to each round. Its short playtime and simple rules make it an easy filler between heavier games. The print-and-play format keeps it accessible, though it means the physical presentation is more minimal than a retail release. We'd recommend it for groups who enjoy quick bluffing games but note that the source material here is fairly light.
What we like
- Very short playtime makes it an easy filler game.
- Simultaneous reveal mechanic keeps every player engaged each round.
- Simple animal-hunting theme is easy to explain.
- Scales well from 2 to 5 players.
Keep in mind
- Print & Play format means a more minimal physical presentation.
- Limited long-term depth once the bluffing patterns are learned.
- Player elimination-adjacent mechanics can end things quickly for some players.
Who it's for
Good for casual groups aged 8 and up looking for a short, simultaneous bluffing filler game.
