Freak War: A Card Game

Created by Sheltonshire Games

A fun and simple pick-up-and-play card game—with unhinged rules and a hidden layer of intense strategy.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

UNLOCKED: Exclusive Play Mat + Card!
6 months ago – Fri, May 24, 2024 at 05:02:28 PM

Hope you don't mind, but we switched some things around!

We originally had a community stretch goal to get shares on our Facebook posts.

However, this was a little redundant with getting likes on our Facebook page.

So, we swapped out Facebook post shares with Instagram post shares instead.

And, well...

YOU ALREADY CRUSHED IT.

We surpassed 450+ shares on our Freak War Instagram posts!

This means Tim defeated ALL 5 ENEMIES at Funny Farm...

...which unlocks the Kickstarter Exclusive MONEY SWORD Modifier Card for EVERYONE.

And since Tim has defeated 7 ENEMIES OVERALL...

...this unlocks the Kickstarter Exclusive Play Mat at the "Starter Pack" tier and higher!

Now, we're only 3 ENEMIES AWAY from unlocking the next perk...

...which makes the full-art cards in each starter deck HOLOGRAPHIC.

You can help Tim defeat more enemies by...

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has helped us get this far!

We love you 😘

Much love,
Sheltonshire Games

P.S. Show our @tiktokboardgames videosome love!

Matt Jarvis over at Dicebreaker wrote a great piece on Freak Waryou can read it here!

Not only does this article help get the word out about Freak War...

...it also gets us one step closer to unlocking the Kickstarter Exclusive Playmat!

This playmat will be free to everyone who backs at the "Starter Pack" Tier or higher.

Thank you so much, all of you who are helping make this game a reality.

We can't wait to get Freak War to you so you can play it!

Much love,

P.S. Everyone should comment below thanking Matt! 🙏

FREAK WAR IS FUNDED! 💪🐟👕👖

YOU DID IT! YOU HELPED US REACH 100% FUNDED IN LESS THAN 72 HOURS!

Thanks to YOU, Freak War is getting made!

Give yourself a pat on the back (before Man Cat does...).

Throw yourself a party (like Partypus!).

But don't get too chill, because this is only the beginning.

Now, the real fun begins.

Let's try to unlock some free stuff!

Not sure if you've noticed, but...

We are only 4 enemies away from unlocking a Kickstarter Exclusive Playmat!

This playmat will be available FOR FREE to everyone who pledges at the Starter Pack tier or higher.

There are a few ways to help Tim (the fish dude) defeat enemies. You can find them on the main Kickstarter page, but here are some we think you could absolutely crush:

  • Get the Freak War Facebook Page to 500 likes. Even if your friends and family don't back, maybe they would be willing to share their support by liking the page!
  • Get this post shared 100 times. You can share it directly to your Facebook feed + story, and each time you share it with a friend via Messenger counts as a share too!
  • Get this tweet retweeted 50 times. We're already 20% of the way there. All it needs is a little nudge!
  • Get a blog post written about Freak War. Have a favorite media outlet for tabletop games? Let them know that you'd like them to cover Freak War!

If we hit these four targets, that'll make your Starter Pack that much more worth it!

If things go the way we're hoping with Freak War in terms of comics, cartoons, and more, having cool stuff exclusively from this Kickstarter campaign (like the playmat we're trying to unlock) would be SUPER AWESOME!

Thank you again for helping us get to this point so soon. We appreciate you all!

Much love,
Sheltonshire Games

P.S. You're all really, really amazing!

50% FUNDED. WHAT!? 😱

You are all INCREDIBLY AWESOME for helping us reach this major threshold so early on!

When Nate and I launched this morning, we were hoping to maybe hit 10% before the 24-hour mark. Never in our wildest dreams did we expect to hit 50% around the 12-hour mark!

All we can say is THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.

That's all we can do for now (I really wish we could do more!)—but when this campaign is over, we promise to make Freak War the best it can be for each and every one of you.

Whether you have been here since Skate: The Card Game—which made ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE in the first place—or are here for sketchnate, or because Kickstarter loved our project and algorithmed it to you, we are sincerely appreciative.

We have lots of cool things in store for you, but for now, here's a "thank you" for each backer up to this point!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
