Development

Origin

Picky Packrats is based on the traditional card game called: Golf, Nines, Nine Holes of Golf, etc.

If you are interested in the makeover of the original game that resulted in what is now Picky Packrats, you can review it in the design blog starting with Game Makeover: Nines. The makeover took place from mid 2014 through mid 2015, with some changes in 2017 after hundreds of playtests where games stats were captured and analyzed.

Publication

Publication as a print on demand product on the Game Crafter is a long-overdue and natural next step for the game. I finally acquired high quality art for the components and marketing, which made this possible.

Next Steps

Where Picky Packrats goes from here depends on its reception. If a no publisher is interested, a possible, obvious next step would be Kickstarter. Through Kickstarter we could pay for a professional graphic design and fund a lower cost production and therefore a lower retail price.
