Death by Digits

The base game is simple enough to play with young kids that can do simple math (with low numbers). Only the expansion (included in the base material) has text on the cards and some more complicated effects.

Background

I’d been bouncing around an idea about a “murder by numbers” game for a while. You’d deal all the cards except for a few, and you’d win the game by guessing which of the cards were not in player’s hands. The idea was solid, I just couldn’t find actual simple gameplay to support it.

Until I played a few card games that are based around (unknown) numbers too, which gave me the final push on how to approach this game! I quickly finalized the rules, prototyped it, and then I finally had my “Death by Digits” game about guessing the missing numbers :)

Support

You can hire me! Maybe you need a special board game or video game for a birthday or educational purpose? I'm also open to inquiries about physically publishing my games. I am a registered freelance artist from the Netherlands and you can contact me professionally through my portfolio.

If unsure, visit my Online Store. It contains everything I ever made. Though it focuses on playful education and activities for children/family, first and foremost.

Another great way to support me is to simply let me know what you think! Mail me at harmonize@pandaqi.com with any feedback.

Alternatives would be to buy my paid work (a win-win situation!) or to donate through the most popular channels (see buttons below).
