My first solo design, Witless Wizards – now live on Kickstarter!

I’ve been designing games for a few years now, which has been a great experience, especially as all the games I’ve had published to date have been collaborations with friends. But this time, I’d really appreciate your help!

The other thing my previous games had in common is the publishers haven’t used Kickstarter to help fund the projects. For those who don’t know, Kickstarter is a crowd-funding platform where the public get to be part of the production process by paying for a copy in advance, backing the success of the game up front as individual investors.

You can guess the rest: yes, my first ‘all me’ designed game (terrifying enough) is also now my first crowdfunded game on Kickstarter. Gulp. And you can back it now!

The game is called Witless Wizards. It’s a light, humorous family card game for two to four players that only takes 10-20 minutes to play. It’s a battle game, where each of you plays a wizard trying to defeat the others in a competition. And it’s only about £20.

You draw cards and play them either on yourself or your opponents: the twist is, if you put the first card on yourself an opponent will get the next one (or vice versa) – but you won’t know what that will be until after you decide. There’s more strategy than that, but hopefully you get the rough idea. And there are multiple card sets used as the wizards travel through time to get an advantage – from sci-fi to crusaders to ninjas to pirates…

Anyway, I’d be pumped if any of you backed the Kickstarter and helped the game become a reality. Even if you don’t want, or can’t afford, to back it – I’d also be pumped if you could share the link. Anything like that will also be a big help. And if you have any questions at all that aren’t answered on the Witless Wizards Kickstarter page, please ask away. Cheers!

Have your say!
