Loot and Recruit!

Created by Vile Genius Games

Loot & Recruit is a deck-building game that brings a twist to the genre through its stacking mechanism, dual currency system, and PvP elements. Become a contestant in a crazy Goblin festival as you compete for the title of Goblin King. During the festival, you will add new cards to your deck, recruit Goblins for victory points, attack other players, and hire minions to perform special actions. Do you have what it takes to loot and recruit well enough to claim the throne for yourself?

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Sneak peek at some Components
over 5 years ago – Tue, Jul 31, 2018 at 10:58:19 PM

Since we're component complete, I figured I would share some sneak peeks at how everything turned out.

Boxes (not to scale)

Game Board & Player Mats (Player Mats were unlocked from additional funds during the pledge manager)

Cards with Joe Dunn's Artwork (we previewed some of his sketches during a past update, but we never showed you all the final versions)

Chaos Expansion Event Cards (these cards will show you why it's called the Chaos Expansion)

Rulebooks

Now there's always the possibility some small tweaks may be made between now and the time manufacturing starts, but what you see here is about as close to the real thing as we're all going to get until we all get the game in our hands.

Once the files are at the manufacturer we'll have a better understanding on when we expect fulfillment to occur. I don't know about you all, but I'm getting really excited!

Component Complete
over 5 years ago – Tue, Jul 31, 2018 at 12:55:45 AM

It took longer than expected, but I finally finished all the components. I realized doing the graphic design work for a game I designed, meant my perfectionism would get the best of me. I'm finally satisfied with how everything looks and it's time to send the game off to be made. As a first time designer, it's a little bit scary and exciting at the same time. 

I'm triple checking everything right now, and when Vile Genius Games gets back from GenCon (which is this weekend) the files will be ready for manufacturing!

We'll keep you updated as things continue on. If you haven't heard from us by the end of August don't be afraid to speak up. Sometimes we get so caught up in development we forget to update you all.

Thanks again for the support!

Final art and production update
almost 6 years ago – Mon, Jun 04, 2018 at 04:51:54 PM

Joe Dunn is the artist that was brought in to finish up the final pieces of art to get the game into manufacturing. He sent us over his rough sketches and we wanted to show you all that this is being worked on and completed as soon as possible. We listened to the backers and decided not to use the 3 goblins from a previous artist that did not fit the feel of the game. 

 

I know these are rough sketches but we feel that Joe Dunn's work will fit in the game style. 


Joe Dunn also worked on Loot N Shoot and did a great job of matching the styles of the previous artist on that campaign:

Take a loot at Loot N Shoot the third property in our goblins line. 

Thank you for your support,

Production update 3
almost 6 years ago – Fri, May 04, 2018 at 06:56:47 PM

Hello all you Looters out there,

We wanted to give you another production update for the game. The last few pieces of artwork for the game are coming along, but at a slower pace than we anticipated. We're still a handful pieces short, but at this time everything else for the game is ready.

Once we get the remaining artwork all we have to do is place it into the files for the corresponding cards, and then start sending everything off for manufacturing. We're so close, and we can't wait to get the game in your hands.

In the meantime, here is one of the new artwork pieces we received. 

Production update 2
about 6 years ago – Wed, Apr 04, 2018 at 09:33:31 PM

Hello all you Looters out there, 

We wanted to give a production update for the game. Unfortunately our artist Laz Ruiz was unable to continue his work on the project leaving us 7 pieces of work short of completing the game. The good news is we have a new artist in place that can finish up the remaining artwork Joe Martin has stepped up to get us the last of the art needed to get the game to print. 

We should have the rest of the art done within 2 weeks and then it will be off to the factory for proofing. The project is moving along and in your hands soon. 

Here is some of the new art to hold you over. 

 As always thank you for your support!
