Hey everyone!
We’re thrilled to let you know that our next big project, Magusha: Clash of the Commanders, is now live on Kickstarter!
This is our Afro-Fantasy 1v1 tactics card game, built with the same heart and design care we brought to The Big Shuffle. If you loved the vibe, depth, and detail of TBS, we think you’ll find something special in Magusha.
Early bird rewards are limited, and we’ll be unveiling new add-ons and stretch goals as the campaign progresses. Your continued support means the world to us—and if you’re able to share or back, it makes all the difference.

Why We’re Excited About Magusha
After the incredible support you gave us during The Big Shuffle, we knew we wanted to create something truly special for our next project. Instead of black and white, we used the whole pallet developing what we imagine Afro-Fantasy to be. Magusha blends everything we love:
Fresh and original Art
Quick but strategic gameplay
Immersive storytelling
And a deep connection to culture and community.
This game is a love letter to fans of tactics, Afro-fantasy worlds, and unforgettable card battles.

Thank you, everyone, for all your support. Without you, we would not have been such an explosive success. Now that we have officially sent out The Big Shuffle to all our backers, we are gonna burn the road to our favorite conventions! Come see us dressed to the nines at TooManyGames, at Oaks, PA, from June 23rd to June 25th. The first of many stops along the hard highway of the convention circuit. If you have not received your copy of The Big Shuffle or tracking information, please reach out to us via [email protected].
For our next Big move, we are shuffling the cards with a brand new game. Let us introduce, Oddware - A Sci-fi Visual Novel about quirky androids in space! It is quite the departure from our first game, but we love experimenting with games as a medium. We have officially launched our Steam page for the game, so please wishlist Oddware for news about our exciting new project!
While that's cooking, please check out some of our friend’s great games that are currently live on Kickstarter!
Have you seen the Wearable strategy game, Worn Wanderers? Cleromancy Games is an amazing company that was invaluable in the creation of The Big Shuffle and its expansions. They have developed a game just as creative as ours that is and attaches to backpack, Convention lanyard, or playmat! It's a wonderful way to meet and interact with gamers at conventions, game stores, or even your local park. They have 2 days left on their Kickstarter campaign, so let's give them a high sign of love and back them today!
We met Steve and Ben from Gem Blenders at PAX EAST this year; they are a great team and are very passionate about Gem Blenders, a TCG about Gem blending battles. We love to test new games and see their designs, so we gave Gem Blenders a shot and had a blast playing it. When we heard they had a Kickstarter, we wanted to back the project and have our own copy of this shiny gem of a game. Gem Blenders has been funded and keeps unlocking awesome stretch goals we can't wait to have. Be sure to check out their Kickstarter!
Check out these amazing projects, and thank you again for all the support! Want more of the rumble? Follow our socials for more upcoming news and events!
