A downloadable game

Bouldenej is a collectible card game that does not exist, made as part of the Imaginary Cards Jam.

"Bouldenej" is a phonetic transcription of "boule de neige", which means "snowball".

In theory, the game would work like this :

  • two players are having snowball fights during the winter, and try to bring their opponent's Winter Spirit to 0.
  • the season progresses after each round : after X days, Spring comes inexorably for the players, who both lose all of their Winter Spirit once it happens. There's a little counter bar, or a stack of tokens with a pretty sun-and-grass motif to represent the countdown to Spring.
  • so you're incentivized to play fast... except some cards can only be played at specific moments.
  • players play cards on their side to affect their opponent or defend themselves. Some cards also play automatically or out of turn. There are many types of cards, from items to maneuvers and events.
  • The theme is overall kid-friendly and happy, but it's very much a game of attrition.

Here is a list of other Bouldenej cards that don't exist. May contain unfunny jokes and annoying commentary.

  • The Shovel
  • Standard Snowball
  • Neighborhood Kids Reinforcements
  • Wall of Ice
  • Rock Bottom (a snowball with a rock in it. The card is too mean to have an effect, except it removes from the game the player who plays it.)
  • Not a Snowball's Chance in Hell
  • Army of One
  • Heavy Snowfall
  • Coordinated Counterattack
  • Dodge
  • Dodge 2-1 : Dodge Harder
  • Dodge 2-2 : Freezing Boogaloo
  • DODG3 : R3TALIATION
  • Dodge 4 : 2 dodgy 4 me (& Knuckles)
  • Snow Angels
  • Late Snow Storm (when Spring comes, get one last bonus round to play)
  • Early Spring This Year (lose X days remaining before Spring comes) (nice snow fight you're having here. Would be a shame if... sun-thing happened to it)
  • Sudden Climate Change (all the snow melts and the game ends, everyone loses)

Note : fonts used are EcritureA, Snowinter, and Segoe UI and Segoe Symbol. Also there are ugly grey rectangles, sorry. Something went wrong with the file.
