Everybody can enjoy a quick card game since you can play them just about everywhere you are and they usually don’t take a lot of time to play. The trick is finding the games that give the entertainment value you’re looking for in the short game time it takes to play it. That is something that the makers of Totem Hoarder seemed to understand and their immediate fan base caught on quickly seeing as their Kickstarter was funded in just 24 hours!
In this fast-paced strategy card game, both players assume the role of ambitious rival totem collectors. There are a lot of creative ways to win, such as you can either explore the land and hunt for totems or sabotage your rival with an army of skeletons! No mana. No life points. Just countless strategic decisions in a single deck of cards.
Games last between 20-30 minutes and are appropriate for ages 11 and up. Totem Hoarder is completely language-independent, with an easy-to-learn system of icons and colors. Immerse yourself in a fantasy world populated with all sorts of curious creatures. All masterfully painted by a professional artist. Every character has a special ability and a clever quote with humorous details from the creatures’ lives.
All-in-all, Totem Hoarder does take the strategic gameplay elements of various trading card games, but it can be quickly picked up and is much easier to play. There is still time to back the Kickstarter and claim one of the many lucrative reward tiers.
