Molassacre: Escape the Flood Card Game
@molassacregame.bsky.social
Molassacre: Escape the Flood is the first card game set during the real-life 1919 Boston Molasses Flood. It combines historical intrigue with a fun and quick family-friendly gameplay.

Join us on Kickstarter starting June 19th.
Day 4 is here and this may be the day we reach our goal, but not without your help!

Rat King #1 is the first of a five-issue miniseries about two NYC rats that venture into the depths of the sewers. Along the way, they’ll get pulled into a deadly political game.

Look who’s in town! We are showing Francesca all the sights in Philly, though we should’ve saved more time for the art museum.

Signed mini-prints are officially in town, so now we just need the games to leave port so we can send everything your way.

Please also check our newest comic, Rat King!

Molassacre: Escape the Flood is the first card game about the 1919 Boston Molasses Flood. You can still back the game late on Kickstarter!

Thanks again for your support! Molassacre awaits!

I really love this image by Francesca for Flooded Detour for the little rat that is joining our friend in escaping from the flood!

I really hope this game will encourage kids and families to remember this tragedy in a way that invites curiosity, friendship, and empathy!

Want to learn more about the weird folklore of Massachusetts?

Weirder After Dark is a really great podcast by three local New Englanders, Sean, Cathy, and Chris, who mix stories with a good bit of fun to tell these stories.

They’ve even done an episode on the Great Molasses Flood!

I wanted to show off more of the incredible art done by our phenomenal artist, Francesca Carità. This is one of the heroes of the day, Margaret Emery, who was the leader of the Red Cross Ambulance Service!

Thank you all!
