Bluff Pastry - Revenge is a Pie Best Served with Custard
Our new game goes live on Backerkit in March - start warming the oven now!
Hi,
I hope you’re well.
It appears there are no end to baking puns that I can reheat.
I’ve mentioned it before, but in March we’re participating in Backerkit’s Pocketopia event with our very own Bluff Pastry card game!
The teaser page is up and running and we’d love you to register your interest in our very first wallet game!
Designed by myself and Marielle Bouleau, and with stunning artwork from Blue Fox regular Darja Rattik (Cool Air), it’s lots of fun to play!
But before you get to the button, here’s some more info!
Uh, oh, the moment the Queen hired two pie chefs you feared this day would come.
The castle is expecting important visitors and they’ve sent a message ahead about their very specific pie requests. The Queen has assigned a pie to each of you, and you better not get it wrong.
Only issue is, as per royal decree, you must offer any ingredients in your larder to the highest bidder. You check over the decree wording, and notice there’s no specific wording saying you have to tell the truth about what you’re offering, so perhaps that’s the ace up your sleeve!
Take turns offering and bidding on ingredients, until your larder is empty, and then pray the pie turns out to be something resembling their order.
In this fun, fast-moving game of, well, basically lying and cheating to get your own way, a cool nerve and a twitchless demeanor will stand you in good stead!
Through four nerve-wracking rounds of distrust, you must do your very best, or your very worst, to collect the ingredients that will save your job and your neck!
Or perhaps you just want to land your opponent with a stomach-turning apple and mushroom choux pastry topped with a splash of mint sauce? (We wouldn't blame you!)
We know it may not be our usual fare, but we think you’d definitely enjoy it!
Also, any and all sharing would be amazing!
Speak soon and stay safe,
Simon
