PAINTED MONSTROSITIES

Surprisingly for a game where players can smash their opponent’s miniatures when defeated, Bohaty hopes that players will paint some of their monsters.

“It wasn’t part of the design from the offset, but I learned during the process of making this is that our clay actually dries really well. When our ‘spell clay’ dries, it retains all of its details,” says the designer “and as far as kids getting into wargaming and getting into the hobby, it’s such a cool opportunity to make a big army for really no cost, let them all dry and then just have at it with a paint set.”

Bohaty mentions you don’t have to use their own clay “art clay is totally fine. I loved Creepy Crawlers as a kid, but the adult in me – and even the kid at the time – hated how whenever you ran out of their formula, you’d have to go to the store to buy more. I didn’t like that. You don’t have to use spell clay to play, and if you find something cheaper, use that.”
