A quick to set up and play, set collecting card game themed around being a farmer harvesting crops on a communal plot of land with all other farmers (players). The game was created alongside Angel Hardy as a fully polish project during our second semester at Miami University. I worked as the game’s designer, writing the rules with the intention that they would be short and simple, easy to pick up and play right away. My partner for the project, Angel Hardy, illustrated card art front and back.
Fast forward to December of 2024 and work has begun to revamp the original rules, cards, and components culminating in a public rerelease on The Game Crafter. Work is still underway before the game receives its full launch but an expected release is in spring of 2025. Check back in on its The Game Crafter page then to find it.
My work on this project has centered around the use of Adobe Photoshop to create the components, with a focus on writing and editing to keep rules and set up as short as possible.
