This Sunday 1/22/23 at 10am CST I will be streaming the new video game HatMania, by the creator of one of my favorite card games Mindbug, on my twitch channel: twitch.tv/tomsepicgaming
“HatMania is a retro top down multitasking platformer with a twist. To successfully guide two companions through a treacherous dungeon, you must split your attention and navigate both their fates at the same time.” This will be my first time playing it. (I might go into it early to make sure I know the controls ahead of time though, haven’t decided.)
Mindbug is a 2-player card game where each player has the opportunity to steal exactly 2 of their opponent’s 10 cards throughout the course of a game.
On your turn, you either attack with a creature you have in play or play a creature from your hand. When you play a creature, your opponent has a chance to use one of their two mindbugs to steal that creature and treat it as if they played it themself. Mindbugs do not replenish so figuring out what to play when and when to mindbug your opponent is incredibly interesting. I highly recommend the game. (I just bought enough base sets and expansions to have 5 full sets to gift to people.) [Review by Tom Vasel from the Dice Tower]
