Shooter Game – Humans v. Monsters
It’s been a beautiful morning here on the New Hampshire Seacoast and I’ve spent a few hours writing on book four of the ChuChu Chicken & Pedro the Goat books.
As a break from that, I thought about a simple game that may help me ease into Kickstarter. My thought is rather than jumping in with a full blown “do or die” project, why not dip my toe in with something smaller that I can learn from.
Humans versus Monsters! A drinking game? Perhaps! =)
You don’t have to drink alcohol to have fun with this (I don’t drink anymore but I do miss my Friday evening martinis . . . ).
If this moves ahead, it would be a short 13 day Kickstarter with a low funding amount – maybe $500 from what I’ve priced out so far – 2 custom dice which I already have a couple dozen of for another game, a custom printed shot glass, and a micro game-board (a waterproof PVC poker card).
Here’s the game-board:
Wow! My life suddenly got better
I’ve always been easily amused. Growing up in Canada on a bee farm without a TV and as an only kid is a big factor in that.
As such, my discovery of an inexpensive ($9.59 – 40% off sale) paper trimmer totally made my day, week, and probably month!
I went looking for a hexagonal paper punch that a friend at work told me about and right next to it was the bestest thing ever! *cue angel choir* =)
I’ve cut out hundreds (maybe even thousands) of mini poker cards in the last month and a game set takes me like 25 minutes to complete (I may be slightly persnickety in that task). This amazing invention (tops the wheel and fire in my book) has changed my world.
All that to say – have a great weekend! =)
