About this project
We play Skittykitts with friends all the time and have had insane amounts of fun doing it. Our goal is to share this experience with you and everyone else we possibly can. The only problem is that printing is expensive! So here's the plan...
Your donation will help create the first, limited run of the game. Each copy includes:
- 21 card deck
- 4 special character cards
- Detailed instruction manual
- A pouch for portability
We'd be honored to share this game with you and others and grateful for your part in the process.
Thanks much,
Jay and George

FAQ
-
The object of the game is to win.
When the game begins the win condition is to have the most points when the game ends, but in Skittykitts certain cards played can change HOW you win the game. You'll have to stay on your toes, be ready to adapt, and construct plans to ambush and confuse your opponents. It really is a lot of fun!
-
The game is for 2-4 players, and you only need a single deck to enjoy it!
-
Each turn players can play ONE card (although The Bat has the superpower to play TWO, each character has special traits). You can also play as many cards as you want per turn if you control the card called Super Speed.
Cards are played into different areas:
The Boneyard (this is a discard pile of sorts).
The Abyss (the 3 most powerful cards go here when played, they are essentially removed from the game).
The Zones (each player has a zone, this is where you put stuff like Super Speed to enhance your powers and abilities, you can also use zone cards to hinder your opponents.
Where the game gets really unique the fact that every card has two sides. You can play these very same cards on their other side for points by putting the number side in a zone. Most cards are worth 4 points, although there are also the 0 point cards, and the 10 point cards.
At the end of their turn, each player draws a card (The Fool gets to draw 2). What is super fun about the game is that EVERY card was designed to be OVERLY powerful, which then re-balanced into them all being even, but still every turn a massive shift can happen.
In the end its about creative strategy to come out on top. Each game ends up playing out in a wildly unique manner, my friends and I have lost many hours exploring the endless possibilities and battles of The Princess, The Wizard, The Bat, and The Fool.
I really do hope that others can share in the fun and enjoy it as much as we have.

Honestly, don't worry about it! Our main goal for the kickstarter is to get the game into the world. When I made the video I asked for a few extra bucks for international customers, but I had no idea how many people would make generous donations of $25 or more.
I won't be losing any money on this campaign, so I'm happy to ship the game anywhere for any donation $12 or more. Thanks for helping me spread my creation around the world!
