How KreatureKind Explores Sustainability Through Deckbuilding

Be Kind. Be Clever. Be Radical.

I kicked off KreatureKind with this itch to tell a story—like, where being nice actually wins the day. You know? It’s about changing the world, not by just doing the usual grind, but by getting all soft-hearted too.

We live in a world that’s TOO loud! Ever notice that? Always yelling. I wanted KreatureKind to be a chill zone, to play with a purpose. Optimism? Oh, yeah. Activism, eco-friendly vibes, and facing off with folks you don’t see eye to eye with. It’s like a toolkit for approaching people. Weird, right?

There are tough choices in the game—like, for real. Synergies, showdowns. But there’s a deeper message I’m hooked on: Being kind is power. It’s like, sometimes radical too.

Emotional, Rational, or Factual

Getting anywhere in KreatureKind means figuring out how the health points (HP) thing works. Not your usual bar, nope. HP stands for Hypothesis Points here. It’s debates, not brawls.

Three colors and their craziness—pink’s emotional, green’s rational, blue’s all about facts. It’s about what stops characters from joining your cause. Pink? That’s emotional soft spots. They’re tough on facts, but rational stuff hits harder. Think of it like rock-paper-scissors with feelings.

Watch your own Focus, see what your opponent’s Vulnerable to. Play cards in a specific order. It’s mind games, not just card games. Picture this: Riley trying to persuade Ricky to chase magic. It’s early game stuff. Scripted card order. Yeah, it gets real.

First up, defense or attack? Ricky’s mindset is blue, so blue’s your best bet, right? But hold the green for later. Strategy, folks, strategy.

Next is green, then pink, then blues. Bring Ricky’s HP down to zero. Mess up the order, and you’re toast. And if cards aren’t good? Maybe you still play them, because not playing costs Attention. Huh. More drama.

Ability Cards – the Core of Each Activist

Our line-up? Seven wild characters with their own argument cards. Attack lowers HP, defense restores, blocks incoming stuff, and Prep bounces effects back.

Ability cards are their own beast. Luca’s got a curse thing going—pranks galore. Makes opponents play for you. Other characters? Tanks, healers, whatever you call ‘em, with unique tricks up their sleeves.

Some cards with slots change the whole game. Fill ‘em up for more oomph. Some sacrifices are big risks. Benefits? They vary. Wise choices, people!

A World Worth Saving (and Hanging Out In)

Past the cards and wild plans, KreatureKind’s about optimism and good vibes.

The game’s a colorful, lo-fi dream with weirdo characters. Cryptids, myths, fantasy monsters—all mixed in. Seven magical factions doing their thing. They even chit-chat with you before and after. Crazy stuff.

And, yep, some monsters guzzle Human drinks. Wild, right?
