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, friends! I’ve worked on a cozy card game, and it’s out now!

CHECK IT OUT

Self Careless is a relatable game for 1-2 players where you are trying to balance a day in your life. 

You have 12 turns (or 12 hours) to organize your day, along the way you can drink FANCY COFFEES which give you POWERS! You also have to watch out for your annoying cat who wants to KNOCK OVER your coffees!

[Image ID: Three cards from the card game Nest fanned out beside the deck. The card Duck has a picture of a mallard with a green head and brown wings. The text below says: Quack. Give a card from your nest to the hand of the first player who quacks back. The second card is a Cow Bird. The art is of a blueblack bird with a brown head on a branch. The text below says Play this card in an opponents nest. That player then chooses a card from their nest to add to your hand. The last card is the Arctic Tern. The art is of a white bird with black feathers on the top of its head. The text below says take another turn. End ID]

*Makes some lil sketches of @determunition ‘s Tech!Magnificus because of sleep-deprived artist sympathy*

*Post gets actually reblogged by @determunition *

*Spends almost 2 months reworking fanart to give @determunition ‘s Tech!Magnificus the fanart deserved of both OC and artist, in the process losing even more sleep*

*Doesn’t care that post somehow makes less sense*

HERE'S SOMETHING FUN that isn't fanart!!! I did some official Star Wars art for a boardgame that's being released soon. These have been publicly revealed, so I can show them off now. :)

Also, for freelance/professional stuff like this I'm Glazing the images. Fuck AI.

Ramos, Dragon Engine from Magic: the Gathering. One of the biggest sculptures I've worked on! 🐉 Made of air-dry clay, painted with acrylic paints and coated with a protective matte varnish. The sculpture was made to order. Dimensions: 31 x 55 x 23 cm = 12.2 x 21.7 x 9.1 inches (length x wingspan x height).

Just want to show you the size of Ramos in comparison to the standard-sized Funko Pop Simba ^^ And here's a video review of the sculpture:
