Quick Answer
Dragons of Etchinstone: Felines of Fetchin' Bone is a solo-friendly card game expansion that adds feline adversaries and new challenges. To play, set up the scenario, manage your hand of cards, and use the unique doggo abilities to protect the bones from the cat invasion.
What makes this expansion different
Dragons of Etchinstone: Felines of Fetchin' Bone is a standalone base game that shifts the usual Etchinstone tone into a playful turf war. Instead of dragons, the threat comes from cats that have wandered into the Yard, and the doggos are not happy about it. The shift in theme changes the flavor of every encounter, but the core loop stays familiar to anyone who has played other Dragons of Etchinstone releases.
The game leans into a lighthearted narrative: the elders issue a proclamation, and able-pawed furlocks and bonemancers head out to deal with the feline trespassers. If you enjoy the Etchinstone system but want a fresh coat of paint, this expansion-style base game gives you that without introducing a completely new ruleset.
How to Get Started with Felines of Fetchin' Bone
- Set up the game: Lay out the base game components and add the Felines of Fetchin' Bone expansion. Shuffle the new feline cards into the appropriate decks as indicated in the rules. If you're playing solo, choose a single hero and prepare the enemy deck as usual. Check that all feline cards are included before starting; missing components can break the scenario.
- Understand the new threat: Read the feline ability cards carefully. They introduce new enemy behaviors and a different win condition: protect the bones. Adjust your strategy to prioritize defense over pure offense. Don't assume the same tactics as the base game—felines require a more defensive early game.
- Plan your movement around the Yard: Position your character to intercept cats before they reach the bones. Use the terrain to funnel them and avoid being surrounded. Keep one character as a dedicated bone guard while others scout.
- Use bonemancer abilities strategically: Save bonemancer abilities for moments when multiple cats threaten the bones, rather than using them immediately. Coordinate with furlock movement to control the flow of battle. Track enemy spawns to time your abilities for maximum impact.
- Adapt your strategy to the cat threat: Because the cats are relentless, prioritize defense and positioning over aggressive offense in the early game. Protect the bones first, then counterattack when the cat horde thins. Reassess your plan each turn; the cat threat can shift quickly.
