Hey everybody, so here is a bit of surprise, even to me actually, I hadn't expected this to come together as quickly as it did but here it is. These are cards designed for a game I have had interest in putting together called Infestation. It is a resource collecting and managing game where the goal is to build up a insect colony. There are three game modes, solo play, player vs player and cooperative. To encourage replay value, the game also sports unique maps, featuring different locations that come with special rules, a distinctive layout, unique characters, etc. These cards are prototypes for the game, showing the four card types in the game. They are as followed:

Bug cards are the cards used to buy bugs and tell you what they do and how they function. The Black Ant is a standard one everybody gets, while others are drawn randomly from a deck. To buy one, you will need to meet their resource cost, which is shown below their name. The Black Ant has a single ant, which means it costs 1 of any resource to pay for it. Most require more specific resources or combinations of resources. Some also offer an alternative to pay for them too.

Power Cards are special cards that allow players a unique ability on their turn. The one shown here is the standard one all players receive. That one is what allows you to buy points. Points are needed to win one of the games win conditions (there are currently 3 planned).

Predator cards feature a "AI" controlled character that follows a set of movement commands. After all players have taken a turn, the Predator gets to take a turn, and players alternate between who controls them (the Predator follows a set of movement and special rules to decide what it does but in the case of a situation where it is unsure what the predator should do, the player currently controlling it gets to decide what it does). The predator is unique to each map, the Bird being the fields predator. All predators move differently, have different special traits and favor different things.

The final card is the location card, these are rule sheets that used to determine which map you will play and tells you the maps unique rules, it's special pieces, which predator to use, etc. Players either pick which one they would most like to use or if they are shuffled together and one is drawn randomly. The one shown here is the fields, which is intended to be sort of a basic, your first game kind of map.

I hope you like these and this sounds interesting to you. I am currently developing four games: Malevolence vs Heroes, Extinction, Infestation and Ecosystem. I had expected Malevolence vs Heroes or Extinction to be flagship games with these others being other projects to follow them but this one has just come together efficiently. These cards are prototypes, so the rules, info, layout, pictures, etc may change some in the official release after I have had a chance to play test the game and fine tune the rules and the cards to ensure the game is as enjoyable and re-playable as possibly. Making games that are both fun, high strategy, well balanced and full of replay value is my main goal for all of my games and this one is no exception on any of those fronts. When finished, this game, as well as the others I have designed will be made available on my Etsy and I hope to launch a Kickstarter for them to get them released on a larger scale as well but that's distant plans for now.

Hope you enjoy and I'd greatly appreciate support, comment what you think, share these with others, and buy them when they come out. Anything helps and I would greatly appreciate any and all support I receive, no matter how big or small it is. It mean the world to me and allow me to pursue dreams I have had since I was a small child. Thanks again.
