Tiny card game in which everyone has a single objective: smuggle the fabulous unicorn out of the city.
The Animal Bandit
About This Game
This game is a tiny card game using two innovative mechanics: the idea of smuggling piles and a completely dynamic market
Smuggling Piles
I wanted to make a game where you needed to smuggle one animal (= the unicorn) out of the city. To do so, however, you first had to succesfully fool or pass all other players. I think this mechanic was quite a good idea, although it took some time to figure it out, and I will use it more in the future.
Dynamic Market
I also wanted a game where you could buy/sell animals, and their value would depend on the current market (just like, you know, in real life). This also works quite well, although I think it might have made the game more complex than needed.
Errors? Feedback? Ideas?
This game underwent major changes along the way, which renders most of my old playtests obsolete. Additionally, it’s not as “simple” as I wanted it to be.
If you spot any errors or have ideas for improvements, let me know.
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).
