news: cat cards PNP files

We unlocked all 9 cat cards! So I put them in the PNP files already (both color and b&w). They are not final, but if you want to try them out, they give a lot of new challenges!

I also had to update the spell circle cards to accommodate the new scoring conditions, including scoring for elements on half or a quarter of the circle, and interacting with star symbols added to the circles! Fun!

❓Question of the day❓

For the box set, assuming they have no difference in game play, would you prefer 6 different color pens or 6 black pens?

news: 200 backers, stretch goals, link to share, QOTD

200 backers! Thank you to everyone for backing our little game! It means a lot to me! We still have a lot of potential stretch goals, so don't forget to comment!! 

Thank you for everyone who clicked on the ads I ran on Facebook, Instagram, and lots of other places. It was a great experiment, but I've decided to stop these ads for now. As such, the number of new of backers will seem low. But we have more than enough to do a small print run of the game and plushies. Plus the watchers are increasing, so I'm happy! The project will continue to grow, so let's keep commenting and sharing! :D

Also, feel free to follow us on Discord for more frequent and detailed updates:

🔓Stretch Goals🔓

This week we unlocked Moth, Bat, Hare and (thanks to link shares) Fire Cat! We have 2 more cats and 3 more familiars to unlock. After that we have more sigil circles designs, more scoring conditions, better dry erase pens, and more! A LOT more game play! 

If you share a link of this game on social media, please leave a comment and we'll get 5 bonus points toward unlocking more stretch goals! No need to provide proof, I trust you! :)
Works for links you've already shared (thanks Derya!) and 5 points each if you share multiple times/places!

news: story time, color PNP, play through video, stretch goals, QOTD

📖Story Time📖

Let's build this world together!! 

What happened the first time the cat (Sabrina) summoned something? What did she summon? How did the witches bind the firsts summon. Then what happened? Is she really evil? And why does a tornado of weasels have a problem with the cat?

Head over to the comment section and find the post pinned to the top. Read through the story as it's being created together, and then leave the next mini chapter. Best practice is to leave 1-3 sentences per post. You can leave multiple posts if you find yourself inspired!

Remember "yes, and" rules. If someone adds something random, it can be fun to run with it and connect it back into the story! Thanks!!

This all helps unlock more stretch goals (and please the hungry algorithm gods!).

🖨️Color PNP🖨️

I posted the witch cards and gem circle cards in FULL COLOR! 
The files are on the itch page, and you can find the link and password on the second update:

📺Play Through Video📺

Did you know you can play Doom Cat on a tablet?? No need to even print or cut the PNP files. It helps to have 3 six-sided dice, but there are apps for that too! 

You can check out the play through video (with rules-as-you-go) on my dusty little youtube channel:

🔓Toadie and Corvid unlocked!🔓

Thanks for amazing first couple days! It's great to have you here, and I can't wait to see all your beautiful sigils! Please post finished games in the Discord! (You saw the download link in the second update, right?)

We unlocked TWO stretch goals already! I think you'll keep me busy painting all the new cards all month.

I found the button to record me painting in Rebelle 7. So here is my work today! If you want more speed painting videos, please leave a comment so I know!

🌕Circle Card Art🌕

Some backers were asking to see the color boards up close since they are obscured in the video and gifs. Here is the current work in progress. An explanation how it works in the game:

  • You roll three dice every turn. You write one of the dice numbers in the top row and then cross out a matching candle (the cat steal the die and knocks over a candle). 
  • Then you draw a line between the other two candles. If you cross out the same number twice, that number becomes random (as you couldn't use it anymore otherwise). 
  • And you can write any number you want on the blank candles when you feel like using them.
  • The bottom numbers are where you write the sum of each scoring condition, and the total on the far right. There's extra space so you can keep track of some goals round by round.
  • There's a subtle star in the center of the circle, used in some goals, like drawing a line dividing the circle in half, or adding an eye to the middle you need to surround. (Spoilers for locked cards, oops!)

There will be another circle card to unlock as a stretch goal later! So please comment as much as you can so we can unlock them (and to please the kickstarter algorithm that craves comments).

Hide your lamps, moths are coming!

❓Question of the day❓

Where do you normally play solo games (or multiplayer if that's all you do)? Is a small game box that can fit in your bag a good thing? Is a small playing area (like an airplane table) useful? Comment to help unlock more free stuff!!!
