Caretos

In the extreme north of Portugal, in an imaginary triangle between the mountains of Gerês, Marão and Montesinho, there is a rugged granite landscape of desert and solitude. This region is known for its high number of sightings of supernatural creatures, including witches, werewolves, and the evil Caretos.

In Caretos, a game for 2-4 players, you control a team of two roaming Portuguese monsters through the region at night, hunting villagers. Your goal is to scare and capture more villagers than any of your opponents.

Villagers are grouped in villages and chapels around the map. On a player's turn, activate one of their monsters, moving it to scare and disperse groups of villagers or capture isolated villagers. The activation of a monster depends on the "energies of the night"; depending on the energy used, the monster can move or do special abilities. The player can also activate neutral creatures: the Caretos (a gang of pranksters, possessed villagers), which can block and even capture other players.
