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?

New Tiers + Chaos Edition Expansion
over 7 years ago – Sun, May 28, 2017 at 04:38:11 PM

BGGCon will be winding down soon. We've had a blast running non-stop demos of the game. Even though the conference is winding down, this campaign is just getting started! We have a lot of cool, new things happening, so grab a goblin and hold on.

Chaos Edition

Unbeknownst to the other goblins, we've been working on a 6 player expansion for the game. This isn't just a normal expansion though. We're adding new cards, and a new play variant that will ensure you understand why it's called the "Chaos Edition."

The Chaos Edition expansion will normally retail for $15, but you can get it for just $10 (30% off  MSRP) through this Kickstarter. All you have to do is back at a "Chaotic" tier to get the expansion. Also the new Legendary Royal Crate (more on that below) and the Collector tiers will include the Chaos Edition expansion.

Legendary Royal Crate

Not fully satisfied with a cardboard box? Want a limited, individually numbered version of the game? The new Legendary Royal Crate is for you!

At this tier you'll get a laser-etched, stained wooden box version of the game. Inside your box you'll get the full game, five (5) neoprene player mats, and the Chaos Edition expansion. Also, each box will be individually numbered and after they're gone, they're gone.

Pictures of the boxes will becoming in a future update.

Upgraded Collector Tier (Become a Goblin!)

The already awesome Collector Tier is getting upgraded! In addition to be immortalized as a Goblin (and appear on the player mats), you'll get a limited edition, colored, wooden game box. Just like the Legendary Royal tier, your game box will include the full game, five (5) neoprene player mats, and the Chaos Edition expansion. It's the apex of goblin craftsmanship!

How you can help spread awareness of Loot & Recruit  

We currently have 96 backers, we just need another 113 backers to fund. Here’s how you can help make that happen!

Become a Goblin

If you've ever wanted to be immortalized as a Goblin now's your chance! The Collector Tier allows you to design and name a Goblin (pending approval). Your designed Goblin will appear on the Player Mats, and you'll get a signed, printed copy of your Goblin!

Note: Premium Player Mats (neoprene material) are included in the Royalty tier and thick paper Player Mats (400 GSM material) will be included in the base game if we hit our $10,000 Stretch Goal.
