More Ongoing and Upcoming Game Projects

Card Game (2021)

Card Game is a weirdo-art-project turned community driven, submissions based, ongoing fake but still playable trading card game.

Presented as a TCG booster box, it is ideally banished to the most forgotten local game store back room shelf, covered with decades of dust. All of the rules are dependent on the cards submitted and are fully contextual. Half of the cards are fully designed by Anthony Fasano and Evan Welohr, the rest are submitted by anyone who would like to and many are completely anonymous.

CityPOP!SKATEboard (to be announced)

CityPOP!SKATEboard is a laid back deckbuilding game about iteration through failure, just like real life skateboarding! Repeat the same tricks over and over until you get good at a few, and use what you learned as the building blocks for more complex tricks! Buy stickers to upgrade your board using your experience points, and try not to get seriously injured over time!

 

Human Resources (to be announced)

Originally designed as “Meat Cute,” a game about rival butchers wooing dates for more product, Human Resources traps you and your opponent inside a human-run research outpost in the middle of nowhere. Outgrow your opponent by consuming humans and scavenging new body parts. The bigger thing wins, but be careful! Humans are tricky and do not want to be eaten! They will attempt to escape and if enough of them do, you both will be trapped inside the facilities without a sustainable food source!
