The games, developed and sold in aid of Farplace Animal Sanctuary, are proving popular in the UK and are now tipped for global success.
Animal lovers are enjoying Farplace Animal Rescue’s new card games, sales of which raise funds for animals in need.
On-the-go games that can be played through in 5-15 minutes, Woof Days, Cat Days and Dino Days have been proving very popular at trade and consumer game fairs. Farplace Games sold over 700 games during the first two days of its Kickstarter campaign, leading designer Gareth to create more additions to the series: Dungeon Days, Space Days, Pirate Days and History Days are ready for launch, while further expansions – More Woofs and More Cats – are still in development.
Woof Days, Cat Days and Dino Days are the first offerings released as part of the series of strategic card games from Farplace. In each game, players are tasked with filling their week with dogs, cats or dinosaurs, and to have scored the most points once they’ve done so. Special actions can cancel out scores, swap and remove cards and much more, ensuring a highly interactive game each time. For example, the German Shepherd card can be played on any day on anyone’s board, and covers over a dog, taking their score back to zero. In Cat Days, meanwhile, players start with a Cat Tree that enables up to three cat cards to score on a single day, rather than the usual one. The pointer card removes a cat, and the cardboard box card steals a cat from a rival, bringing it to the player’s own board.
Dino Days players start with a Giganotosaurus card which makes it possible to wipe out an opponent’s entire board – but awards them 10 points at the same time. This gameplay increases the strategy element of the Dino Days, as each participant will be waiting for their opponent to play the Giganotosaurus before using their stronger cards. The Diplodocus is a two-card dinosaur: players need both the front and back to play on adjacent days. Cards such as Meteor add additional effects and wipe out the dinosaur of a player’s choice.
All three of these games are available now and are suitable for ages six through to adult.
The Dog Days, Cat Days and Dino Days all have an RRP of just £5.99 in the UK and international distributors are now being sought. With Farplace Games’ accessible distribution terms, the games can be offered for an equally affordable price in any country. Farplace is also open to developing versions of the game for any IP.
