Bugsnax card game funded on Kickstarter, not an April Fools'

There is a Bugsnax card game on the cards.

The project was announced yesterday, when developer Young Horses was quick to assure its community that it was not an April Fools’ Day joke. Rather, it was a Kickstarter campaign.

Now, this Kickstarter has proved successful, with Bugsnax: The Card Game funded within a matter of hours. At the time of writing, it is sitting at £21,130 pledged of an initial £11,960 goal.

“Based on the hit video game, Bugsnax: The Card Game is a bite-sized race to eat your fill! Take on the role of your favourite Grumpus and use their unique ability cards, along with your tricky traps, to outwit the other players and overcome the Bugsnax defences. Be the first to chow down on six points worth of Bugsnax, and you’ll be crowned the Snakmaster General,” the official description reads.
