Human Flavor 2023

Humans have long provided the nourishment that supernatural creatures need to survive and thrive. Celestial angels dine upon human faith, feral shape-changers upon meat, infernal demons upon fear, the undead upon life force and the fey folk upon willpower. No matter their palette, it takes a lot of work to band together, capture hapless humans and hide your kills from public view. Eventually, the humans of Bigbad City will get fed up (pun intended) and band together to fight back.

Human Flavor is an resource management and worker placement game where 2-6 players each manage a clan of mildly asymmetric supernatural beings striving to take control of the city. ​ You start the game with limited actions and take turns placing meeples until all actions are used up. Actions include capturing humans, feeding upon captured humans to gain additional resources, devouring captives for points and gaining/placing dominance stackers in the city for end game victory points. ​ There are also public Agendas drawn each round giving players common goals to pursue for points. The game concludes after 4 or 5 rounds when final dominance stacker points are tallied and the player with the most victory points gains triumphant dominion over the city.
