How to play Last Light

Last Light is a push-your-luck game for one player, played with the full Cardswild hunting deck. Bag all five animals in order before the season ends: 4 Grouse, 3 Rabbits, 2 Deer, 1 Elk and 1 Bear. The season is 9 days.

Each day you turn cards onto a trail one at a time, and after each card you choose to keep going or head back to camp. A Trouble you cannot clear, a Bear when you have no Big Bullets in camp, or the Mountain Lion ends the day with nothing.

When you head back, keep one green or blue card for your camp, then bag every animal on the trail that your camp allows, in order. To bag an animal your camp needs Daylight, a License and the right Bullets. A spare remedy in camp can be spent to clear a Trouble and keep going.

There are three levels. Greenhorn has an 11-day season, Hunter has 9 days and Legend has 7.
