#Self promo

[bugbeast]

Self promo for my newest card game, Jewel Thief; but you can play it for free! First, though, let's cover the basics...

TL;DR - Its a 4+ player competetive card-matching game with four rule variants; buy it here or look for the orange text in this post to learn how to play it with a regular deck

"What is Jewel Thief?"

It's a card matching game with a villain; one player tries to match jewels in a 36 card grid while their opponent, the titular Jewel Thief, periodically steals cards from the board. You can check out its page on The Game Crafter for more information, but it'll spoil the rest of this post

"What makes it special?"

The game's turn structure would theorettically allow you, perhaps via some kind of infinite cloning machine, to play a round of Jewel Thief til the heat death of the universe. While I wouldnt recommend that, its lack of a player cap (and ease of set-up; seriously, all you do is put cards on a table) makes it a good party game choice.

But that's not all!

There are three extra rule variants that drastically alter the gameplay while keeping card matching and stealing as main mechanics. I believe the cards are versatile enough to allow for many custom games, too

"Okay, but why should I buy a silly game from some bug nerd?"

First off, ouch. Second off, that's the best part; you dont have to buy it to play it! Jewel Thief can be played with a standard 52 card deck. Here's how:

Step 1. Remove the 10s, Jacks, Queens, Kings and Jokers

Step 2. Download the free rules from the shop page

Step 3. Play the game, matching cards based on their values. You'll need to designate a value as the Diamond jewel for game 4

That's it for my little self-promo. If you dont buy the game, I hope you'll at least give it a try and consider supporting my future projects.

I also post art and photography, which you can find under the bugbeast art and bugbeast photos tags. I hope you check them out

Thank you for your time <3

Edit (Mar. 25, 2024) : Thank you to everyone who liked and reblogged this; if you play the game I encourage you to share your thoughts in the comments and/or reblogs (even if you hated it). Feel free to share any custom games or house rules you come up with, too. I'd love to try them!

Edit (Aug. 10, 2024) : Final edit most likely; gonna blaze this one more time for good luck then maybe start work on a postmortem for the project, maybe give a little backstory for anyone who cares. Life is a little rough right now, but fate willing, I'll be able to work on/post about my future projects, including the future of Jewel Thief itself

Guess I'll die!

Can you do an Antinous x Telemachus? Maybe Antinous kissing Telemachus and our little cuttie prince slapping him on his whole face? 👉👈🥺

I would love to draw your characters and their tummies.

Commissions are still open! My Queue is empty and I want to draw!

Thank you everyone who has placed an order, or who shares my posts. It's been a great help during this unstable time in my work.

If you're curious why having a baby with Howard the Duck would be ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC then you should pick up a copy of Sex Lives of Superheroes wherever books are sold!

You ever think how strict butler training is?

Like they frequently say they are not human while working, they are a butler instead.

And I heard someone failed their course because during the mock exercise they passed the paper to the lady of the houses secret lover, and apparently they were supposed to leave the paper nearby, as passing it to them acknowledged their existence.

Imagine the shit Alfred might have gone through.

Canonically, Alfred took the job in the wake of his father's death, per Jarvis Pennyworth's request

So imagine a 30-something-year-old Alfred diving straight into being a butler without a clue what to do

(actually, you don't have to. I wrote a fic about it here)
