Description
Chimera Isle is a quick, fun mixed-up creature game created by Kevin Lanzing and illustrated by myself! You can get a copy here: [link] though later this year we'll be at Dragoncon and looking for major publishers to pick it up
This is a crude example of the game, not completely accurate as I just set it up quickly for a picture!

Scythe, I'm confused by the rules...is there a thread discussing this game on your forum where I can get some help? I can't find one.

Even thought I haven't read the rules on how to play, I'm totally following the concept on how to play.
This really does look amazing.

They should have you design the centre cards as well, the art style is all over the place with this one.

There were too many for me to have done scenery/landscapes and gotten it done on time, plus he could only pay me for so much

Four creatures are randomly generated, then an environment is chosen. Each environment has a special requirement like "night vision" or "social" or "scariest." Players vote on which creature fits that best (so it's actually driven by opinion/interpretation) and invest tokens in the creature they think will be most successful. Nobody "owns" a creature but you win by investing the most in the creature who wins the most environments and gains the highest population.

That's really cool 8D
Hopefully some type of game publisher will pick it up. It's too good not to be!

This looks like it'd be a lot of fun to play, and you did a horribly magnificent job of creature design
