Tiny Grumpy Armies

In this card game for 2 to 4, players assume the role of a video game mini boss vying for control of the kingdom. Each player must deftly manage their personal army of minions to kidnap the most princesses before the game ends!

This game has three different rule-sets, and while the initial setup is the same, the different gameplay rules provide vastly different experiences.
SURLY SKIRMISH is the recommended game for new players. It keeps things fast and light and theres a lot of immediate chances spite your opponents.

FOGGY FRONT-LINES is a simultaneous action blind bidding game, with the added bonus of an embarrassing hat.

CRANKY CAMPAIGN is a slightly heavier worker placement type game about careful timing and waiting to see the whites of their beady little eyes.

All game modes involve deploying squads of minions to claim MAP cards, which in turn have various effects, such us kidnapping princesses or messing with your opponent's army.
Also recruiting more troops into your army can give you a big advantage later.

Once the timer pile is depleted and the FINALE card is captured, players add up their final score (determined by the princesses they've captured) and find out who deserves to be crowned the next BIG BOSS.
