Yetisburg contains:
Two decks of 55 cards each
60 tokens
Initiative marker

Shadow Hunters by Z-man games

Designed by Yasutaka Ikeda, and originally released in Japan in 2005, this game finally gets a UK English languge release. Unusually, shadow Hunters is designed for 4-8 players.

You are a Shadow, a creature of the night, or a Hunter, a human whose job is to destroy supernatural creatures, or a civilian, a normal human just caught in the middle of this ancient battle. But your identity remains secret until someone outs you through your actions and through Hermit cards, or you reveal yourself by using your special ability. The key to victory is to identify your allies and enemies early. Once your identity is revealed, your enemies will attack with impunity, using their special abilities like Demolish, Teleport, and Suck Blood or equipment cards such as the Rusty Broad Axe or Fortune Brooch. This ancient battle comes to a head and only one group will stand victorious – or a civilian, in the right circumstances, might claim victory.
