The Warriors of Well-ish

---

After a couple of goblets full of mead, even the strongest man may find it hard to think straight. And the mighty warriors of Well-ish are no exception to that rule. Your help is required in finding the small band's missing comrade!

The first game of the new crowdfunding series Little'N'Nice by Spieltrieb has finally arrived in the Spieleschmiede. The Warriors of Well-ish is an awesome casual deduction game, getting to the core of this gaming principle. There are no annoying distractions: in The Warriors of Well-ish everything revolves around the one missing buddy. (Anything else would be far too difficult, as, after all, how would you be able to roll dice or shuffle cards on the fly when you are loaded with mead?)

The Warriors of Well-ish – a game ...

... for fans of gaming rounds where co-players are more than mere decoration. As with any game of deduction, your fellow gamers are at the heart of this game. No need to try and grasp a game mechanic – reading the others' faces and getting to the bottom of the secret is the key here. The secret in the case at hand is the missing buddy that needs to be found. This person is on a face-down card in the middle of the table, and you need to guess the right card. You can obtain more information by asking a series of questions that your fellow players have to answer with "Yes" or "No", or, as the title suggests, with "Well ...".

No matter if you use the little game as a warm-up, or as the one for the road after a nice, long evening of gaming: There will always be a couple of minutes left to play a round. The gaming principle is blissfully easy and that also makes it attractive to casual players.

The Warriors of Well-ish is a game for three to four players and includes 10 carefully designed cards. In addition, you require three counters per player and several more to add up the victory points. In the prototype, see images below, all cards show depictions of game designer Till's face. But this is your chance to have one of the cards illustrated with your own portrait by Christian Opperer..

What is Little'N'Nice?

Little'N'Nice is a very special series of games, which can only be supported exclusively in the Spieleschmiede. Each and every title in the series is reduced to the max: Fun, game mechanics and theme. Any game in Little‘N‘Nice will contain no more than 10 playing cards as gaming material. Everything else that is required to play – for example pawns, victory point counters or dice – is normally readily available at any player's home, or can be chosen as an optional extra here.

The very simple layout of this series of small games allows us to go down to the core of crowdfounding: Pay what you want! As soon as we achieve the minimum amount of support, the game is going to be manufactured, in conjunction with the other games of Little'N'Nice that will be entering the Spieleschmiede in the coming weeks. All games are then placed on a single print sheet. This way production costs can be kept low enough to make the entire project feasible.

What do you get for your money?

The games of the Little'N'Nice series are not your usual Spieleschmiede projects. You can obtain a game for as little as one Euro, in a print&play version. A fully printed, professionally finished edition of the playing cards is sent out to you as a reward from three Euros and upwards, with only the rules still being in a digital format. However, we recommend you support the five Euro level. With anything less the amount is so small that it really only covers the actual production and shipping costs, and there is no margin for the publisher and the Spieleschmiede. Once the recommended threshold is crossed, we will also print out the rules for your.

Just like with the other games illustrated by Christian Opperer you may hand in your portrait and become a real part of the game. The Warriors of Well-ish will contain nine warrior portraits in total, and there will be an opportunity to customize the dragon according to your own preferences.

In the optional rewards there is also a pack containing gaming material. This set of more than 60 wooden dice is not only useful for The Warriors of Well-ish, but can be employed with all the games in the Little'N'Nice series. So, you really only need to support the wooden dice pack once and will then have suitable gaming material for many more games readily available.

The same applies to the optional box for the material. This customized box is able to hold all games in the Little'N'Nice series and also the additional gaming material for all other games funded during the course of the individual projects. A matching sticker turns the box into a proper game box.

Additionally, there is the option to choose from several other games by Spieltrieb, for example the fast-playing Jets or the clever game of Eynsteyn and to support the production of the entire series in this way.

Who is Spieltrieb?

We are Spieltrieb, a somewhat unusual games publisher. Our small company is home to two game designers – Till Meyer and Nicole Stiehl. Till is a seasoned games author with a lot of experience, who has worked for many years as a games educator with young pupils and students. During this time games such as An den Schalthebeln der Macht were developed in close cooperation with entire classes of students.

By Till's side is Nicole Stiehl, a qualified social educator and a long-standing games designer herself. Together with Till, Nicole has developed many educational and commercial games and is also fully involved in all projects of the Little'N'Nice series.

Just like in the first two crowdfunding projects by Spieltrieb, Christian Opperer is going to breathe life into the games. With well over a dozen projects and many years of experience under his belt, Christian is one of the most popular German-speaking board game illustrators, who has also participated in many projects by the Spieleschmiede.

Delivery in Spring 2015

Our goal is to be able to deliver the Little'N'Nice-series in the first quarter of 2015. Spiele-Offensive.de will handle the delivery of the rewards. Backers in Germany will receive everything shipped for free. For other countries see this postage cost table.

Please do not add the postage costs to your pledge amount yourself. Spieleschmiede will automatically calculate and add them based on your delivery address.
