Overview
Summon hybrid creatures and send them to battle against your opponent. But be careful: your opponent may use one of their Mindbugs to take control of it.
Outwit your opponent in a fascinating tactical duel in which having the best cards and playing them at the wrong time can be deadly for yourself.
Features
Mindbug combines the accessibility and fairness of a simple card game with the strategic depth of a complex Strategy Card Game. The result is a skill-based dueling card game that feels utterly different from all the other card games you have played before.
Even though Mindbug is extremely easy to get into, the game will keep surprising you with new and exciting challenges and combos. The unique Mindbug mechanic allows you to control your opponents creatures and leads to unique decision-making that requires even veteran card game players to adjust their traditional playstyle.

Where to buy?
Essen Spiel 2021
The mindbug wants to increase its following. So we have the mission to bring the game to you. But developing games with everything that goes with it, such as illustrations, graphic design, production and marketing, is expensive. The Mindbug forced us to spend our entire budget (which is not much as a small publisher) to bring a limited printrun to you for Essen Spiel 2021.
Visit us between October 14th and October 17th to try and buy the very first printing of Mindbug (Booth number 6G113).
