As Mat Clawthorn famously said, "It's time to toss the cheese!" 😉🐀🧀
This is a card from our game "Scurry & Scamper" we hope to publish through crowdfunding early next year. The card features a leather dice cup on its side on a wooden table spilling dice carved from cheddar cheese blocks with a rat in the background and a mug of ale with part of a wagon wheel symbol visible (homage to the Dusty Wheel for fans of the Wheel of Time). Text on the card reads: "Cut the deck. If the cut card rank is even: Lose 2 Cheese. Else if rank is odd or a face card: Discard 1 Fink." Flavor text reads: "It's time to toss the cheese!" -Mat Clawthorn.

For various reasons we are having to change the name of our inaugural game from "Ratfink: Scurry & Scamper" to just "Scurry". So you will start to see this change in our marketing materials. More soon! #Scurry #Rats #Cheese #Charcuterie #TrickTaking #CardGame #BoardGames
New box cover for our game Scurry. A game of tricks, traps and cheese. The word Scurry is made from cheese and a Rat holding a hand of playing cards is to the left of the S. The title sits on a blue wall with a white footboard below with a rounded tiny red door partially open cut into it like a mouse hole. A large rat trap with a block of cheese sits in front of the door with a white rat off to the side eyeing the trap warily. Game design by: Dawson Cowals, Jeff Huit and Joe Mistachkin. Artwork by: Dawson Cowals and Alisha Volkman. Publisher logo for Cohort VIII Games is an orange d12 die with the Roman numeral VIII (8) on the face. Charcuterie board for our game Scurry. Features placeholders for different card decks and discard piles as well as the Maze card round tracker and Dirty Rat track. First deck are the playing cards with mirrored images of rats on picnic plates with various cheese, salami and crackers on a green checkered picnic tablecloth background. Second deck are trump selection cards with a charcuterie board with cheeses, grapes, salami and crackers on a black checkered picnic tablecloth background. Third deck are the Scurry cards with a rat and nibbled cheese and crackers on a blue checkered picnic tablecloth background. Fourth deck are the Scamper cards with a rat and a rat trap with a large block of cheese on a red checkered picnic tablecloth background. Intermixed on the board are various charcuterie elements such as red and green grapes, almonds, strawberries, brie, crackers, salami, marrionberry compote.
