A downloadable game

Hudson Bay is a bluffing card game about the fur trade in North America. Players collect and steal furs from each other to sell them for points. Turns are taken simultaneously. Each player selects an action card and a player as a target. Then it is revealed who targets who with the action cards still hidden. After that, players are given the option to retreat for a cost. Finally, action cards are revealed and resolved.

Examples for some of these action cards include attacks that steal furs from targeted players. Cards that allow you to counter attacks if you target yourself, and a card that allows you to hunt for another fur if you don't get attacked. This is similar to a rock paper scissor game dynamic, but evolved into a bluffing game since player intentions can be deduced from multiple aspects within the game.

Everything for the game from the design and rule set to the crafting of the physical game was done by me, with the exception of some every kind feedback from play testers of course. I don't have any print and play files, but I've made a full implementation of the game in tabletop simulator. The game is currently only available in the German language. Written rules for the current iteration of the game are not yet included, but will follow some time in the future. If you are really interested and rules are not uploaded yet, send me a message, and I'll be happy to teach you. I am always happy to get some feedback.
