They Stalk the Night...

 We've just released a new card game -- Bloodlust. It's for 3-6 players and it uses a standard poker deck, plus Jesters. It is set in a nightclub during the days with goths roamed the streets and Bahuas ruled the night.

The unused cover for Bloodlust

There's always something that ends up on the proverbial cutting room floor, and it's even good stuff some times. Like the variant game of Bloodlust that didn't make it in. Three were designed, only two were used. But the third one is now here on the blog for your reference when you have mastered the basic game.

VARIANT 3: "Hunter's Moon" (High Stakes)
For experienced players who want more risk:
   When a Joker is played, instead of discarding all Hearts, each player must discard half their collected  Hearts (rounded down)
   Add a third Joker to the deck for more chaos
   Diamonds are worth 2 points instead of 1 (to reward the difficulty of playing them)

This variant makes Jokers less devastating but more frequent, and rewards players who can successfully navigate the Diamond rules.

Bloodlust is available at DriveThruCards and DriveThruRPG. 

Ripped from the headlines!

It's a game that will let you experience the thrill of bringing Nicolas Maduro to justice--or of kidnapping him illegally, if you're the kind of person who feels sorry for drug-running, election-stealing dictators.

Nabbing Nicolas is a fast-paced game that's played with a regular deck of cards. It can be played by 2-4 players, and it's everything you might expect a game designed in an afternoon to be--and then some!

You can get Nabbing Nicolas at our secondary outlet, Etsy. We hope you'll enjoy overthrowing the regime!

UPDATE: You can also get it from The Red Room--and it's free there!

(And speaking of those who find it a worthy use of their time expressing support for a drug-running, election-stealing dictator, here's a variant rule for Nabbing Nicolas: Players can choose to protect Nicolas and his lovely wife from apprehension by keeping him in their hands. Instead, they must focus on other ways to earn points, so that they can win when the game ends.)
