Jellybean
Games announces Brains! card game
The newest game in the popular Treasure Hunters line is coming to Kickstarter
Coral Springs, FL;
Sept 24th, 2018.
Today, Jellybean Games
announced the launch of Brains!, a zombie-themed card game for
all ages.
Brains! is
the third game in the Treasure Hunters series; a set of games that can all
stand alone, or be shuffled together. The first game - Scuttle! - was pirate-themed, and made more than $87,000 on Kickstarter
in 2016. The follow-up - Ninjitsu! -
featured ninjas and cute woodland animals, and earned over $120,000 at the end
of last year.
From the designer of Dracula’s Feast and The Lady and the Tiger, with
stunning art provided by Kelly Jo (Hidden
Panda), the game introduces a novel ‘graveyard-building’ mechanic. Cards
can have a special effect when discarded from your hand or from your
collection; the timing of discards can be a powerful tool, and a key to
victory.
“Kelly Jo has done such a great job
with the art of Brains!,” said
designer Peter C. Hayward. “It fits perfectly with the gorgeous, watercolors of
the previous games, while bringing its own unique energy. Perfect for
families!”
As with all
Jellybean Games, the rules are straightforward and easy to learn. Each turn,
players either draw two cards, play a card from their hand, or bury the top
card of the deck and move it straight to the top of their graveyard. Cards can
be played either for their ability, or as a treasure. The first player to have
twenty-one points of treasure in front of them is the winner.
An expansion is to be released
alongside the game: Burial! adds fifteen unique cards and an
additional suit to the deck, allowing it to serve as a set of playing cards.
The new cards play heavily on the graveyard building aspects of Brains!,
and ensure that every game is unique.
Brains! is for 2 to 5 players aged 8+, and
will launch on Kickstarter on the 24th of September, 2018. A retailer pledge
level is available.
