Ruach Games

Spending the day working on some illustrations for Tree Fort Defenders. The overall art style for the game will be hand drawn or painted. And many of the designs will be more cartoonish and kid like. This will match up with the theme of the game, in Tree Fort Defenders you are part of a group of young children belonging to a small race of creatures playing make believe in the forest battling monsters. So the art will reflect homemade weapons and how a child might describe a creature as a monster.

Got some more artwork done for the game design. The new title of the game will be Defender's Clubhouse. More info on game theme co.ing soon.

Went to the first playtest of the current project. The name of Merci-Laries will be changing to a now undecided name.

The test went well. Lots of feedback both negative and positive. The negative feedback has spurred a lot of inspiration to better enhance the game.

Positively the play group saw fun potential in the game and enjoyed the theme of the game.

At present time I am working on the artwork for the game. Which at this point is a huge venture from what is being seen with board games right now.

Along with the artwork. Some of the mechanics are being revisited to bring smoother and more enjoyable gameplay as well as balancing issues.

Thank you for following, hoping to be able to show some of the artwork soon as well as releasing the rules and then of the game.

Ruach Games is a new company in the board game industry. Diligently working on the first game for the company.

The game is called Merci-Laries, in the game, you are a member of a species of mystical creatures that inhabit the deepest parts of the woodlands. these small creatures are under constant attack from monsters that are looking to devour the small creatures. Your character has been chosen to be a mercenary of sorts and rid the land of these monsters. for your duty to the village and your king, you will be rewarded with great treasure.

The game is designed to be played with 2-6 players with a future solo campaign expansion planned. The game is at a very early stage of development. The rules and design plan have been established and a mock prototype has been built to start playtesting. Final artwork is being designed and games are being played to help check balancing and game mechanics.

Please follow the page to keep up to date on development progress, the future announcement of a crowdfunding campaign, and the future release schedule.

Thank you
