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

hey, we’re the ark system, a disabled, trans, genderqueer, OSDD system about to face homelessness.

PLEASE donate if you can. even $5 helps. and if you have a room somewhere, even for a night, let us know. we’re currently in the maryland area but planning to head to california when we’re officially kicked out.

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)

It's a year today since I got the keys for my flat! I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to be a homeowner, so I want to mark the occasion by giving to people who are without the safety and comfort a home should provide.

Shop Link

My itch store has digital copies of all my books (for half the price of print copies) including several that are now out of print. It is also the only place to get the special digital versions of my goblin zines, which have loads of art and writing you can't get elsewhere!

I hope you'll consider getting some of my silly little books to help an important cause, this felt like the best way to mark the aniversary of getting a home of my own, as I don't have much money to give hopefully donating my shop income will help boost the difference it makes!

Hate making these posts but there's also so much more summer to go through that is horrific for a cat who can't walk to the store because of the heat and ordering things costing like x10 more.

On top of that our foster kittens approaching the age to get fixed+vaccinated and while we thankfully have access to a program that will do it for significantly cheaper it's still gonna be somewhere up to $500+ for all three of them, which is A Lot.

so etc etc extra bumping my commissions and stuff anything helps even if it's just a reblog
