Independent game developer Charlie Oscar announced today the release of Gremlins, Inc. Coming to PC and as a physical card game it features 129 beautifully illustrated playing cards. Both games are best described as games of strategy and malice and are set in the same rich Steampunk universe. The video game will launch in Early Access in September 2015 priced at a mere $9.99. The card game will be initially released in English at $19.99 through Amazon as well as via direct sales.
Gremlins, Inc. the video game is a digital board game for two to six players as they take on the role of a corrupt capitalist gremlin, a scheming microscopic creature living inside a tiny Steampunk world, competing for money, political power and prestige using a deck of 150 cards to move and to carry out various actions such as earning and stealing resources, setting traps, collecting bribes and gambling. Gremlins can also employ PR firms that are ready to spin any lie and arrange the arrests of their competitors.
Gremlins, Inc. the card game consists of a deck of 129 richly illustrated cards used by two to six players to build their own projects and sabotage the projects of their competitors with the aim of earning the highest prestige score. While the card game is set in the world of Gremlins, Inc. and borrows its visuals from the video game, it offers original card-specific game mechanics and does not require ownership or familiarity with the videogame. However, for anyone that does play both games, it will deliver a diverse playing experience across both platforms.
