MUTT - The Rank and File Card Game
A downloadable game
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Mutt! A grueling deck building game where two lords controlling an army of rank and file mercenaries, siege engines and agents attempt to win by either controlling the enemy’s territory, or by starving them of supplies.
GIST OF THE GAME
Mutt is a game about balancing both general combat and money. When you lose a card in a fight, you will have to pay your opponent its ransom. Which in turn will make it harder to deploy more troops.
There are three ways to win a game of Mutt.
3rd rate victory. Control all the money on the board. Have both the enemy’s coffers and the bank depleted and in your own trove. The most inglorious way to win.
2nd rate victory. Have all the enemy’s cards in the cemetery. Even if they have money to resurrect, they cannot. Once the last card is dead, that is game.
1st rate victory. True decisive action. Control your all of your enemy’s backline by filling the slots with your own frontline troops that have been moved up the table. The most noble of victories.
FILES AND PRINTING INFORMATION
In the files you will find a printable PDF of both the full rules and all the cards that can be played.
To play this game, you will need to print out each of these documents. The rules can be done however you want, but for the cards you should consider double sided on thick paper, or thin paper in card sleeves.
Though the cards do have colour, it is done in a way that I think will be home printer friendly. Black and white also won't look too dire.
Included are optional tokens for keeping track of health. There are no tokens for currency, as I personally think that dime a dozen poker chips work the best.
Pages are A4 size. Cards are scaled to the standard playing card size (3.5" x 2.5")
POTENTIAL ROADMAP AND AVAILABLILTY
The base "red" deck of the game as well as the base rules will be free. I plan on adding other colours of deck which contain different units and rules.
Along with the new decks will come deck specific rulesets, deck specific "leader" cards and a slew of other things. probably. It's an ongoing little doodad of a project.
