The Legend of the Wendigo*
Young squirrel scouts gather around the fire to hear the troop leader tell the terrifying legend of the Wendigo, a creature with a heart of ice. The legend tells of a spirit that roams the forest, attacking anyone who dares to utter its name.
Players must work together to find the Wendigo to return home. One player assumes the role of the Wendigo, disguised as a scout, while each night another scout is taken. The remaining players can check the identity of a scout each day; if they unmask the Wendigo in time, they win; otherwise, the Wendigo player triumphs.
