Park Life comes in two flavors! ☂️Park Life: People is a trick taking game with set collecting and tableau building! 🦔Park Life: Hedgehog is a streamlined version ideal for families and players new to trick taking games!
Gameplay is simple but winning takes careful timing. Everyone plays one card per trick. The winner of the trick wins points equal to the value of the card they played, but the lowest card wins and the winner must discard cards from their hand. Winning with small cards early is dangerous because the round only ends when everyone is cardless, allowing others to make dramatic come backs.
As a may-follow trick taking game, you have agency to choose what strategy you want based on the cards dealt to you and the choices of others. This well-balanced hand management and action economy game avoids perfect information and fills Park Life with rich choices.
But if you love must-follow trick taking games, you can play with the team rules in the Storm Expansion (you can download on BGG).
Solo and co-op are also must-follow. You play against an automata with rules in the deluxe rule book (you can also download from BGG if you only want the pocket sized games).
You can get either pocket sized or deluxe size. Deluxe adds wooden tokens and more powerful cards for experienced players! All expansions and deluxe cards can be mixed and matched between editions! Park Life: People may be combined with Park Life: Hedgehog to play with up to 8 players, or with huge hand sizes. And both editions can be combined with the Storm Expansion (more info below). So much replayability!!!

Time Line: Park Life and the Storm Expansion are printed. The plushie is in production. Worst case scenario we'll ship December 2025, but I'm trying to ship Park Life January 2025. Lucky Cat is in limited supply and ready to ship. Doom Cat games and plushies will ship when they are done, (hopefully before May 2025, but worst case November 2025). We fulfilled 2 games this year! Lucky Cat was sent 6 months early and Park Life was sent 7 months early! We're trying to match or beat our record with Storm and Doom Cat!
🦔 Hedgehog Bus is a new first player wooden token and helps in drafting. Limited edition!!! ONLY 1000 made!!!
🗺Park Map changes the trump suit every round based on what won last round, but the lead player can't play that suit! (One bus drives around the map, another bus drives around to the first player.)
⚠️Disaster Warnings end the round early for players who already won a card, but you have to win with it to activate it. One for each suit: Flood, Blizzard, Pea Souper, Twister, Heat Wave!
🎆Fireworks disrupt players by making everyone else win the trick, making people think twice about what they shuff off.
🌩️Lightning cancels the trick and the person who would have won draws a card instead. The player of lightning goes first next round.
The New Plushie
Can hold 1 Deluxe Park Life game.
Can hold all 3 pocket sized Park Life games (People + Hedgehog + Storm).
WIll be a slightly different shade than the prototype shown in the photos and videos.
Lucky Cat was my first game. It's out of print now, and supplies are VERY limited. I have less than 100 left. You roll dice, collect coins and hongbaos, fix broken lucky cat statues, and rebuild a kingdom by paying taxes. Has party game variants to add take-that and dexterity elements. We unlocked SO MANY stretch goals, that it plays to 8 players now. Doesn't include stickers, pens, or notebook stretch goals. More info HERE.
Doom Cat is a unique Roll and Write game where you chuck dice, draw sigils, and bind demons. It was our October 2024 kickstarter game. So it's not printed yet and will probably be shipped out after Park Life. More info HERE.
