Crowdfunding Round-up: Cars, Cows, Goats, and Xenon, Master of the Automotive Ruminants

In Xenon Profiteer, you take the role of entrepreneuring engineers striving to specialize and optimize your Air Separation Facility in order to emerge as a titan of the emerging market for Xenon. Others are racing to achieve similar prestige, however, and only the best among you will be victorious.

In a decidedly different take on the classic deck-building format, Xenon Profiteer not only actively encourages players to remove cards from their decks; it is a core mechanism in your goal of isolating Xenon. Each turn begins by strategically removing cards from your hand (and deck) through distilling based on the real-world hierarchy of elements. The goal: Have only Xenon remaining in your hand. The problem is, of course, the only way to gain more Xenon is to bring in more air — and air is composed of all kinds of other pesky elements that make isolating Xenon difficult.

In Automania, you run a car factory, trying to produce the most popular cars on the market. To achieve this, you buy tiles to upgrade and customize your factory, and hire specialist employees that provide a variety of advantages.

Central to the game are the factory boards: Each player has a factory with three assembly lines, and each line produces one type of car. You can put machine tiles along your lines to change the specifications of your cars. However, your three assembly lines intersect, so each machine tile placed might affect more than one type of car. Therefore, you have to think carefully about where you put those machines.

When you produce a car, it must be shipped to one of two markets. Choosing the right market is crucial, as one market provides more money, while the other provides more prestige. Each market has some demands, and the better your car matches these demands, the more popular your car will be in that market. The most popular cars will sell first and reap the highest profits.

Have a Cow! is a competitive card game of hand management that requires timing, ingenuity, and strategy. Your goal is to make hay and attract cows while thwarting your opponents' attempts to do the same.
It's whimsical and humorous, yet strategic and thoughtful. You'll use cards in combinations, like pickup trucks and tractors, dogs and farmhands, or even UFOs and dragons to accomplish your goals, all while trying to be the first player to build a herd of four cows.

The game has taken time, effort and an exhausting number of mouse clicks to become what it is today.

Gruff is a tactical card game that can be learned in a few minutes but has a tremendous amount of depth. Find your strategy, customize your team, build your combos, and crush your enemies! Gruff's combat mechanisms create a constant state of counter-play. When an enemy attacks, you have your entire turn to dodge out of the way, mount your defenses, and launch a counterattack!

It's all about the goats! Create a team of three goats that begin the game in play and stay in play throughout the game. They are your source of damage, defense, and resources.

Gruff is complete! The game has been in development for over three years and is polished to glorious luster! We are very pleased with it, and are excited to get into your hands.
