As part of Kickstarter's Make/100 initiative, our good friends at BabyTattoo have put together this beautiful card game, OctoMatch.
Straight from Baby Tattoo's agent provocateur Bob Self, himself:
To kick off 2017, Kickstarter launched the “Make 100” initiative, encouraging creators to turn grandiose goals on their ear by dreaming small and launching projects that focus on 100 limited edition items. In the days since the program launched, there has been a fun-to-follw flow of charming and quirky campaigns that are refreshingly low on hype and pleasingly high in simplicity. Baby Tattoo founder Bob Self felt inspired to create an “OctoMatch” campaign, offering a no-frills/simple-thrills card matching game illustrated with portraits of artist Brian Kesinger’s Victorian octopus character Otto that drawn specifically for this down-to-Earth (under-the-sea?) project. It’s worth a visit to check out what people have come up with when asked to think at 1/100 scale.
Some of Bob's current favorite Make 100 campaigns are…
“Drag Queens of the South” coloring book by Kasten McClellan Searles
“Spyn” decision-making tops by Dave & Calvin Laituri
and, of course, "Little Knitted Cthulhus” by Janice Campbell
