Magicka Mayhem: The Funny Family-Friendly Card Game of Wizards, Spells and... MAYHEM!

In Magicka Mayhem: The Card Game, you combine Element 'ingredients' to craft Spells from ‘recipes’ found on Spell Cards. You can rain fiery ouchies on your mortal enemies, protect yourself (or those luckiest enough to call you 'friend') using Elemental Shields or heal yourself (or your Wizards-in-arms) from injury. You can also Summon powerful creatures to do your destructifying for you... ...but WATCH OUT! After every Spell there is a CHANCE that your Spell will get Mayhem-ified which can cause it to... Blow Up in your Face, Save your Bum from Disaster or Make you Pee your Pants with Laughter!

And if you don’t like to get your hands dirty you can Summon Elementals to do your destructifying for you! WATCH OUT! Your Spell Could Get Mayhem-ified!!! After every Spell there is a chance that the target of your Spell will trigger a Mayhem Card draw. Mayhem Cards can cause your Spell to... Blow up in your face… Save your bum from disaster… or make you pee your pants with laughter. NOTE: Creators of Magicka Mayhem are not responsible for damage caused by peeing. ;-) Summon Powerful Creatures to Fight at your Side Summoning Elementals is the preferred method of destructification for lazy Wizards. Can you blame them? Why get your hands dirty when you don’t have to?!? Summoned Elementals include the strong and powerful Earth Elemental, the too-hot-to-handle Fire Elemental, the cold-as-ice Frigid Elemental or the guy with the 'electric' personality, Lightning 'Rob'! There is Nothing More PRECIOUS than Quality Time with Family and Friends When Ethan (10 years old) and I (just OLD!) set out to create Magicka Mayhem, our goal was simply to create a game that her and son would both enjoy equally. Magicka Mayhem is our effort to make that dream a reality – and from all the wonderful feedback we have received from our rapidly growing community, it looks like we have succeeded! Thank you to EVERYONE that contributed to make this game the best that it could possibly be! About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words. Funny Card Game How did you come up with the idea for this product? The Making of Magicka Mayhem by 10 year-old Ethan Erickson One day while my slightly immature gamer friend (AKA ‘dad’) and I were playing Magicka on the PC when the self-designated Family Prison Warden (i.e., mom) wagged her finger and said, “you two are much too addicted to your digital devices,” before returning her blood- eyes to her Facebook Timeline. ‘Dad’ said something like, “Seriously. When the Zombie Apocalypse happens, we’ll be more likely to die of BOREDOM than being eaten by Zombies.” And that’s when it hit me! We needed a way to play Magicka even if there was a power outage or the Zombie Apocalypse actually happened or mom banned our electronic devices or, worse, we had to go to grandma’s house where her idea of ‘advanced technology’ is a phone that doesn’t PLUG INTO THE WALL!!!!! That’s when I got to work on the game. The rest is Kickstarter history! THE END What makes your product special? We are a family of gamers. Unfortunately, we rarely come across a game that is just as much fun for the kids as it is for the grown-ups (i.e., the ones with the money!) – a rare exception being one of our family favorites, Munchkins by Steve Jackson. Magicka Mayhem was created with the ENTIRE FAMILY in mind – from the less game-savvy younger children to the grizzled ‘old farts’ looking for something a little more challenging. The final product is the perfect blending of youthful imagination (and a wee bit of potty humor!) and the efforts of many seasoned gamers (i.e., a TON of our amazing Kickstarter Backers!). We think you will LOVE this game as much as we do! What has been the best part of your startup experience? First off, our experience working with Paradox Interactive (the publisher of the PC versions of Magicka) and Arrowhead Studios (the original crafters of the Magicka universe) has been AMAZING! Their love and dedication and passion for our crazy idea has been incredibly inspiring to us both as gamers and as budding entrepreneurs. Without their support, NONE of this would have been possible. The best example of Paradox Interactive’s boundless support was when they invited Ethan to launch our Kickstarter on-stage with the CEO of Paradox Interactive, Frederik Wester, at GDC (the world’s largest game developer’s conference). As Ethan’s parents, my wife, Daley, and I were simply over-the-moon (and a bit ed!) to see our son in front of a huge crowd of press and streaming to thousands of people around the world. It is an experience that we (and Ethan) will NEVER forget!!! Also, our experience with Kickstarter and our SUPER INCREDIBLE AMAZING Backers has been phenomenal. Not only did nearly 1,000 people go out on a limb and Back our game with cold, hard cash, a great many of them also Backed the game with hours of their precious time (when they could have been playing other games!). Whether it was feedback about the artwork or suggestions for card layout or recommendations regarding the text or playtesting the game with their family and friends or actually helping us with some of the more daunting aspects of design, printing, shipping, etc., our wonderful Backers contributed as much to the amazing final product as Ethan and I did! Thank you, beautiful Backers! We hope you enjoy the game as much as we enjoyed MAKING IT FOR YOU!!! We must also say that working with the team at LaunchPad has also been a fantastimazing experience! As a her it is important for me to instill self-confidence, a strong work ethic and a need to contribute back to the world in our children. I personally feel that entrepreneurship is an amazing vehicle to develop all of these vital traits. I cannot imagine a more powerful set of tools in the hands of young people than Kickstarter and LaunchPad. It is truly a Brave New World!
