A New Game About Beards and Loyalty!

I’m excited to announce my next game, the upcoming …And My Beard! A Game of Dwarven Fealty!

In …And My Beard! you play as a dwarven guild leader trying to earn the favor of the new king by adorning his beard with the symbols of your guild. You compete against the leaders of the other guilds to place the most beads on his intricately braided beard to show your loyalty and to make sure every dwarf at court knows which guild lays claim to the longest, most luxurious braid.

This is a game that I’ve been working on in some form or another for over two years. I knew I wanted to do a tile laying beard based game, but it took a lot of time to figure out how to make it competitive and how to develop a hook that made sense contextually. I’ve spent the last few weeks building and alpha testing a prototype and I’m ready to start public testing. If you’re interested in participating in the beta test and providing feedback, you can request access using this form.

As you can see the artwork is all draft and I’ll be looking for professional/better than I am artists to help with the final art. If you’re interested in this paid gig, please email me and send art samples!
