Penguin Brawl - For people who like penguins, card games and glorious battle!

Created by Penguin Brawl by RTK Studios

Penguin Brawl is a fast-paced action card game about penguins, deception and glorious battle! Simple learn what each card type does, get to know the basics, and away you go; the rest is down to how you play. The majority of rules are written directly on the cards making Penguin Brawl great for people simply looking to have a good time with a fun game, that doesn't take hours to learn. Penguin Brawl is now manufacturing and will be officially launching at the UK Games Expo on June 1st 2018. Preorder now to get a 1st edition copy, and what's more, we'll be shipping way before the official release date, so expect yours earlier than most, and were also throwing in some free secret cards... because that's how much we love you!

Latest Updates from Our Project:

INTRODUCING! Penguin Brawl: Nuclear Winter - A New 30 Card Expansion!
over 6 years ago – Tue, Oct 03, 2017 at 06:15:35 PM

Afternoon All

Just a very short update this time unlike our others :P Things are going good. We've just over 2 days left to go, we're fully funded, and we may even reach a stretch goal before it's all said and done.

Our main purpose today though is to officially introduce our latest mad conception that stands in the form of Penguin Brawl: Nuclear Winter. Like Battle of the Gods, Nuclear Winter adds 30 new cards for you to include in your game decks, if you so choose.

Add £5 to any reward tier for a copy of Penguin Brawl: Nuclear Winter.

Nuclear Winter is an expansion designed for a slightly more mature audience and as such we recommended an age rating of 14+. This expansion is not what we'd call an NSFW expansion, but we are going to call it NSFWish. There are no references to anything sexual within Nuclear Winter however we have ramped up the violence a bit. Enough to keep it in keeping with the overall theme. That theme being a dystopian post-apocalyptic wasteland. The film series Mad Max was a very big influence for this expansion, also Fallout, lots of time spent playing Fallout certainly would've left an imprint too :P

In the interest of keeping this post short and to the point if you have any questions regarding Nuclear Winter feel free to ask away in the comments. We can't promise we'll get back to you straight away, as sleep must sometimes beckon, however we'll try to answer your comments as soon as we are able.

YOU DID IT! Penguin Brawl is a reality
over 6 years ago – Sat, Sep 30, 2017 at 05:22:20 PM

The day has arrived, and Penguin Brawl has officially crossed that long sought after line, and we are now 100% funded! A massive thank you to everyone that made it possible, and we sincerely mean that. The response to Penguin Brawl has been amazing and watching people rally behind our campaign by way of commenting, sharing etc has been awesome to watch, and be part of.

So what's next?

We still have 5 days on the clock and intend to use them wisely, by continuing to make our game the best it can be and also by promoting Penguin Brawl in any way we can. Now is the time to get on board with add-ons and such as we are offering FREE shipping worldwide with all add-ons if bought alongside a reward tier. We are only offering this to our Kickstarter backers and shipping prices will start being charged when we begin taking pre-orders.

A retail option is now also available to any stores that would like to stock Penguin Brawl beyond our March delivery date. We are offering over 50% off the retail price of Penguin Brawl including expansions Battle of the Gods and Nuclear Winter. For any stores that back through Kickstarter using the reward tier "Vendors of Pentartica Retail Bundle" we are also offering FREE shipping to the UK and US.

Over the next few days we'll continue to be updating on the goings on here at RTK. We'll be officially releasing Penguin Brawl: Nuclear Winter hopefully on Monday, possibly Tuesday. and if everything continues to go well we may even unlock a stretch goal or two. Our first unlocks at £10,000 and adds 4 new cards to the standard game.

Help keep the ball rolling and also celebrate reaching our funding goal by giving a WOOT! WOOT! WE DID IT! on Facebook or Twitter.

Thanks again to you all for helping make Penguin Brawl happen and we're excited for the next few months as we manufacture and eventually get your games out to you :D

IMPORTANT UPDATE About Fulfillment. Please Read.
over 6 years ago – Sat, Sep 30, 2017 at 11:31:36 AM

Hello everyone

So we're doing exceptionally well in getting to our target which is awesome to see, so well in fact we have began the process of setting up our post campaign fidgy widgy. One important part of this is how we get our backers exact orders and delivery info. For this we are turning to BackerKit, a very professional and purpose built platform designed exclusively for crowd funders for this very reason, it's great. Many campaigns use BackerKit and I'm sure most have probably come across it at some point. In short BackerKit deals with taking our surveys and post campaign sales. It's a great piece of kit that'll certainly make the fulfilment of Penguin Brawl an even greater success.

We felt it was best to give our backers warning that we are going to be using BackerKit so you all know exactly what to expect following Penguin Brawl being funded. An email will be sent to all of our backers with a link to click where you can enter your shipping information and select your add-ons.

A couple more things while we've got you here :P

Firstly, we are going to be swapping our Emperor Tesla plushy with a different Long John Shivers plushy. The reason for this is, is there's something not quite right about the current Emperor Tesla plushy. Take a look at our previous update and see what I mean. It's cute and cuddly but doesn't have any real character to it. We're going to go back to the drawing board with this one give him another go. But as mentioned in the meantime we will be swapping him with Long John Shivers who is a hat away from being finished and looks AMAZING! We think he's going to be a lot of peoples favourite... he's mine :P

Secondly, and this is a short one I promise. We have began putting together another 30 card micro expansion. We gave ourselves enough time to create the full 60 card edition of Battle of the Gods as well as Slay Bells Ring. But the chances of unlocking this ambitious stretch goal are quite slim unfortunately, and we have shelved Slay Bells Ring for a later festive season. This leaves us with a little more to play with, and with this time we're going to keep working :D

So keep an eye on upcoming updates for the awesome new Long John Shivers plushy, and of course... Penguin Brawl: Nuclear Winter! The NSFWish apocalyptic themed 30 card micro expansion. It's not just for adults, but it is slightly more mature.

Sneak Peak of Penguin Brawl: Nuclear Winter!
over 6 years ago – Fri, Sep 29, 2017 at 04:56:49 PM

Afternoon all.

Awesome things are happening and we are at 96% funded. Many thanks to all of our backers that have brought us this far. However, on to the point of this update.

As teased toward in a previous update we have been working on a brand new 30-card expansion, and the good news is our artists have literally just finished the box art image. We have yet to incorporate the logo and actually put together the box however we were so pleased with this image we just wanted to share it.

 

We will be working over the weekend to get this expansion ready for an official launch on Monday, or Tuesday at the latest. However, we thought people might like a little taster.

Penguin Brawl: Nuclear Winter will be available for £5 with FREE postage with any reward tier. Simply add £5 to any current pledge for a copy of this awesome new expansion. :D

Things are looking fantastic! 92% Woot!
over 6 years ago – Wed, Sep 27, 2017 at 11:37:56 AM

Greetings and good day to all!

Just a quick update to give everyone an idea of where the campaign is currently at. We're over 90% funded with 8 days still on the clock, which is awesome in terms of making Penguin Brawl a reality. We've made great headway in our search for a new manufacturer, in fact we're now down to deciding between 3 contenders - we're just waiting for samples to be delivered :D

Everything is looking great, and to put the cherry of top of the cake, we finally have our Emperor Tesla plushy ready to walk on down the runway. So without further ado, here he is...

Simply add £15 to any pledge level to receive one of our plushies. Or, for those REALLY into squishy and cuddly, add £28 for two, or £40 for all three. No additional postage is required worldwide if bought alongside the standard game.

As ever, we can't thank you all enough for the continued support and belief you are showing in Penguin Brawl and we look forward to seeing how things go over the next 8 days.
