Design Brief: Design a Brand New Party Game
"If Exploding Kittens, Blackjack, and Spoons had a baby." Gil, Game Designer
Ferret Frenzy is fun, light-hearted and adorable - and is the culmination of a years-long effort to boost the image of and reduce stigma for one of the most beloved pets in the world, the humble, curious, quirky ferret. Gil and I's goal was to represent and celebrate the pure bliss and the adventurous itch ferrets have when they discover novel items in a messy room.
It's an addicting push-your-luck card game filled with ferrety antics, designed for raucous game nights & casual party gamers. Up to 5 players (8 with expansion) take on the roll of mischievous ferrets ransacking a house for wondrous things to curate the Ultimate Stash. Ferret Frenzy has been nearly 3 years in the making, and I am proud to say it fills a void in the party game space - made for larger groups of casual gamers with short attention spans.
• Worked with our incredible ferret artist Aubry Joi to bring life and adorability to the game.
• Meticulously play-tested, revised, and improved the gameplay across 60 iterations.
• Ferret Frenzy raised over $120k across almost 2k backers from it’s Kickstarter campaign!
