Drawing Monsters
A downloadable card-drawing game
This is a game about drawing monstrous creatures on note cards, using a simple dice-generation randomizer. Roll on a list of monster features or mech features, roll for a drawing restriction, and draw! Don't forget to sign and trade your monsters away to others.
The concept of this game comes from Trading/Collectible Card Games (something I have only the most amateur experience with) and Artist Trading Cards.
The execution of the game comes from a GDC talk given by Holly Gramazio: H. Gramazio (2017). Inviting Player Creativity Through Game Mechanics. GDC 2017 [https://youtu.be/a4U8WXd0f3c]. This short game came about as I was considering methods of expression in non-digital games and adding restrictions to inspire creativity.
Overall, it's a pretty simple game.

Wow, thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it--I love what you've said about the strategic 'meta' of the game, which is an aspect I didn't think as closely about as the drawing, so I'm very glad it's provided an interesting experience!
