Hey yo coaches! We here at Chill Dragon Studios figured some of you may want to learn more about us and the game. So we decided to introduce ourselves and talk a bit about our goals and other things you may find interesting about us or the game. Feel free to ask any questions and don't be afraid to give us feedback!

About Chill Dragon

Chill Dragon Studios is an idea a couple friends had to break up the grind of life a bit. We've always loved playing games, whether they were video or board. Constantly talking about house rules and ideas for games of our own but never really committing to finishing them. If we enjoy these half thought out games, maybe others will as well. So we decided to commit to creating these things we enjoy and finish some of these games! That led to the creation of Battle! which you can learn about in the next section. First, we'll talk about our goals for the future of Chill Dragon.

We don't just enjoy just the idea or playing aspects of board games, we also thought it would be cool to create physical versions of them as well. We'd also thought it would be cool to do so in a way that is as friendly to the environment as we can make it. Having a product that doesn't over stay its welcome on the planet. We hope to have everything shipped with our games 100% compostable. Using recycled and/or renewable products and those that are sourced responsibly. We are hoping to grow with this idea in mind and learn more about things we can do to create awesome games with as little impact at the environment as possible.

About Battle!

Our goal, when creating Battle! was to offer a fresh, yet familiar, experience to those who may have played other popular trading card games, while also creating rules that were easy to learn and remember, for those who may be new to trading card games. We also wanted a game that could be quick to play so you could squeeze in a game or two between things that needed to get done. We believe we've got a great foundation that accomplishes those goals in a fun way that can be expanded upon in some really interesting way.

We hope to release physical versions and print and play versions of Battle! which will cover different characters and stories within the various Battle! layers of reality. To start this process we have made print and play starter decks, or playbooks, set in the Battle! Bugs layer.  We hope to gain feedback and have the community help direct the development of Battle! 

With the creation of PnP playbooks we wanted them to be easy to print and build, so we limited each PnP file to 3 pages. This allowed us to have a playbook size of 23 cards, 1 character card, and 3 cards dedicated to learning and helping play the game. You and a friend can each print and cut out a playbook, then grab a die or two and have everything you need to play a game of Battle!

We'll leave it at that, for now. If you have any questions feel free to ask and we'll either answer you directly or expand upon the answer with its own post! 

Thanks for reading!
