cantripgames:

Our new Story War prototypes came in today! They’re beautiful! (Story War is our upcoming card game where 3 to 8 players battle each other using their creative storytelling skills, read more about it here.)

Most of these prototypes are already earmarked as review copies or playtest copies, but we have a few extras that we can give away. I honestly never considered doing a giveaway until I saw them all sprawled out on my coffee table like gold doubloons. So here’s how you can get one: 

Reblog this post and tell us in your caption who would win in a battle (set in the Graveyard) between the Goblin and the Manticore? And how would they win?

We’ll read all the reblogs in the notes and mail some prototype copies to the the people who wrote the most creative responses! We only have a handful of extra copies but we might end up giving out more than one if we get a bunch of great responses!

Also, our Kickstarter will be launching at the end of January, so you should follow us if you want to be kept in the loop about that! 

PS: If you live in NYC, you can come play test Story War tomorrow!

The Manticore can easily handle the walking dead in a graveyard (lasers cut zombie heads off just like living heads), whereas the Goblin’s gadgets, even before they run out of power in this off-the-grid locale, will upset and antagonize the dead, distracting him from battle with his already superior foe.
