The OH FRUCK Story

Phil and Tom went to art school together a long time ago. We spent a lot of time drinking (coffee mostly) and talking.

Phil

“Personally, I embrace the viscerality of 70s performance art.”

Tom

“Personally, I {dis}agree with the reductive cultural dialog of the 90s.”

AFTER COLLEGE WE WERE PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS.

WE GOT JOBS. SOME WERE GOOD. SOME WERE SILLY.

TOM GOT A LOT OF EXPERIENCE CREATING GAMES, (MOSTLY FOR A BIG TOY COMPANY, BUT OTHER PLACES TOO). PHIL GOT A LOT OF EXPERIENCE MAKING STUFF (AND LOSING AT GAMES).

BUT WE MISSED WORKING TOGETHER, SO WE GOT TOGETHER AND SPENT A LOT OF TIME DRINKING (COFFEE, MOSTLY) AND TALKING.

EVENTUALLY, WE GOT OUR ACT TOGETHER AND MADE OH FRUCK!

WE REALLY WANTED THE GAME TO HAVE A CERTAIN SENSIBILITY, SO WE ENLISTED OUR FRIEND MIKE FISHER TO DO THE ILLUSTRATIONS. HE DID AN AWESOME JOB HELPING TO BRING OUR CHARACTERS TO LIFE. MIKE IS DEFINITELY A REAL FRUCKER!

WHY OH FRUCK!?

WE WANTED A GAME BASED ON A TRADITIONAL DECK OF PLAYING CARDS. THERE HASN’T BEEN A GOOD NEW CARD GAME THAT USES REAL CARDS IN FOREVER!

WE WANTED A GAME FOR MOST AGES AND MOST PEOPLE BUT NOT ALL AGES AND ALL PEOPLE. THIS ISN’T FOR LITTLE KIDS OR PEOPLE WHO SAY “OH FUDGE!”

WE WANTED A GAME THAT’S QUICK & EASY TO LEARN AND PLAYABLE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. NO COMPLICATED RULES OR LOTS OF SILLY PIECES!

WE WANTED A GAME THAT’S STRATEGIC AND FUNNY!
