CATS. They’re adorable, they’re playful, they’re our little fur babies. And now you get to rescue them! In SANCTUARY, players take charge of sanctuaries, gathering resources and taking cats out of the city shelter. They then match those adorable pets with adopters who are searching for their unique traits. The rescuers who find the most homes for cats, and who achieve other goals, will win the game. But be careful not to let the city shelter fill up beyond capacity, or everyone loses.
5% of proceeds go to real sanctuaries
Our goal is not only to create an enjoyable game, but to also raise awareness of the importance of cat rescue, fostering, and adoption. As such, we are also donating 5% of all proceeds to real animal sanctuaries to help save lives, and get more cats adopted.
SANCTUARY is designed to be easy to learn and easy to play, while retaining a substantive level of depth. This makes it accessible to light gamers who are more interested in the cat theme, while still being challenging for more competitive gamers.
Quick and Easy to Play
The game uses a simple matching mechanic. They first pull the cats from the city shelter into their homes, then they try to find adopters who have similar traits. The more traits the person and the cat have in common, the easier it is to fulfill the adoption.
Players can also draw and play Subsidies cards, which help them out, and Goals cards which give them extra points for achieving certain goals. And at the end of the game, the players who reached certain achievements gain the final points which can tip the balance of the game.
But be careful, because when the city shelter fills up, cats inside it “cross the rainbow bridge. When this happens to too many of them, ALL players lose!
Looking for Funding on Kickstarter
In order to make this game a reality, we need to raise funds to get it printed and released. So we are pre-selling copies on Kickstarter. All games sold during this time will come with special, limited-time offer pieces. There are also special add-ons which can be purchased while the game is selling on the platform.
So follow our progress by subscribing. We will send you updates and information regarding the development of the game, and the evolution of the Kickstarter campaign. And, most importantly, we will let you know when we go live, so you can buy the game. It will only be a one month window, so you’re going to want to know right away.
