Dreidel Dash
An 18 card Hanukkah race
Dreidel Dash is a light dexterity game, easily played and enjoyed by ages 6 and up. Kids can play together without parental involvement just as quickly as grandparents can join in for a few rounds of fun.
A complete game can be played in as little as 10-15 minutes. And with multiple rulesets it can be enjoyed again and again every night of Hanukkah or at any time of the year!
Krampusnacht
A Game of Deduction & Influence
Coming Soon...
2 players - Taking on the role of either Santa or Krampus, influence the local children to be Nice or Naughty, claiming points for those you win over to your side.
Players take turns placing hidden Influence cards on children, doing their best to anticipate their opponent's strategy and priorities, and using their unique abilities to gain more information or cause mischief.
The game was created as an entry in the Buttonshy 18-card Holiday Challenge 2023, and was named a Top 15 Finalist. One judge described it as "Deduction with depth," which is exactly right.
Look for Krampusnacht on Kickstarter around the end of 2024!
Prise de Fer
The 18 card sword fighting game
Successfully Kickstarted in 2021 with over 700 backers and fulfilled in 2022!
Prise de Fer is a pocket sized game which can be played in about 15-20 minutes. Players take turns placing cards from their hands to cut and parry, taking control of the attack when possible, and trying to score an unanswered hit before running out of cards.
With a blend of hidden knowledge and random uncertainty, knowing your opponent's mind and keeping control of the rhythm of the fight are just as important as which targets you attack.
