About Nanuk

Winter is coming. All the hunters boasted of their prowess, but you boasted the loudest. Now you have to deliver . . . In Nanuk, each player bids for how long he can stay on the trail and how much he will bring home. Each boast must be greater than the one before, until one hunter refuses to raise the bid, saying "You're doomed!" Then the hunt begins. Will the hunt leader make good on his boast, or will the doomers be right? Every player decides secretly to help . .
