How it plays
Up to eight hunters share a reserve, split up to track animals and regroup to compare trophies, or turn it into a friendly contest.
Long quiet stretches of walking and waiting leave plenty of room to talk.
Only one player in the group needs to own a DLC reserve for everyone to hunt there.
