PUNY GODS are NIGH!
9 months ago – Mon, Aug 14, 2023 at 11:02:21 AM

Hey Killers! 

Our new game: Puny Gods, a Trick-Taking game with elements of Hearts, War, plus a few twists, is currently in Playtesting and we couldn't be happier with the progress!

DESCRIPTION:  Let’s face it, all your Gods are crap. They are arrogant, egomaniacal, petty, and well, just crap. In fact, they spend most of their time fighting with each other over which of them are the most beloved by their respective Tribes.

After centuries of arguing, Jeff, the God of Biscuits, had an idea. He proposes they choose an arena to meet and pit their Tribes against each other because, if they are truly loved by their Tribesmen, their Tribesmen will be honored to sacrifice their lives in defense of their Gods.

What do these Crap Gods get out of this? They get the losing tribesmen. After all, one God’s trash is another God's treasure!

However, something is amiss … The Tribesmen are none too happy about battling in the name of their crap Gods. So, the Tribesmen devise a plan to overthrow them ...

Puny Gods are Nigh!
almost 1 year ago – Thu, Apr 27, 2023 at 02:24:57 PM

Hey Killers!

It’s been a minute. We trust you are safe, sound, whole, and well.

How are we doing? Funny you should ask. We have been working hard on our second game: Puny Gods!

It's a card game where each clan is trying to get rid of their crap gods. For example ... instead of Zeus: the god of Sky and Thunder, think more like Jeff: the god of Biscuits.

The game includes four unique card decks, created by artists from around the world. In addition, we will be using our stretch goals to add expansion decks to the game!

At this point, we are looking for a couple of groups who would like to play-test the prototype and give us some feedback.

If you are interested, please email us directly: [email protected]

We will give you some details about the gameplay and how playtesting will work. There are limited copies, so testers will be first come, first served.

Stay tuned here for more details about the game and our imminent Kickstarter Launch!

Hey Killers,

A couple quick stats ...

  • We are 99.8% shipped (only 4 to go)
  • Only 4 typos/mistakes found (so far)
  • A few Skull Pawns broken during shipping (hopefully no more)
  • So many kind words (and more than a few fantastic reviews)
  • 2 very grateful game makers (who are now exhausted)
  • Not to mention the best gathering of killers since, well ... ever

But the fun's not over yet. (more on this after the holidays)

Such a pretty little game ...

In the meantime, we plan to hit some gaming, comic book, and pop culture conventions to get the word out. As always, we will keep you posted.

Thank you all again for helping us make our little game a reality.

Keep your head on a swivel ...

Happy Little Killers ...

Hey Killers!

We are most definitely in the home stretch: Quad City Killer Games are 97% shipped. If you have not received your game ...

  • It might still be in the mail so check your tracking number on BackerKit; or
  • We might be waiting on pics/approval for your Personalized Killer Board; or
  • We are waiting on your recently approved Personalized Killer Board to come back from our printer; or
  • You live in Australia. We are not able to ship to Australia at this time (which you probably already know). We'll keep you posted.

Side note: we've had a few Skull Pawns break during shipping. If any of yours arrive broken, please let us know and we will get you sorted.

Otherwise, how're you enjoying the game? 

As always, we appreciate your faith, support, and patience! 

Happy hunting and keep your head on a swivel ...
