LUDICON was great!

My phone died for good so I have 4 photos out of 30 but I also have a lot of nice feedbacks, things to fix and met amazing people!

Trailer on it's way and more playtest to bring this game from good to great! thanks for everybody that playtest Madness and Mayhem at the event and gave feedback! 🔥🌼🤘

IT IS COMINGGGGG!

I’ve prepped and ordered an early version of Madness and Mayhem for LUDICON 2025!

It’s been a wild journey so far and I’m still deep in marketing and playtesting to make the game even better before the big launch.

Huge thanks to Yrlande Ouellet for co-creating this chaotic adventure with me, to Jeremie Grant for bringing structure and focus to development, and to @goblin.years (Instagram) for the amazing art she created for us two years ago (still dreaming of a handmade version featuring her work ❤️).

LUDICON is coming and I’m beyond excited and thrilled to be part of it!

New stuff to destroy! In Madness and Mayhem, build your creatures and wreck the town!

But beware its citizens might strike back!

[shyphu]

💥 From the Hunter’s Cabin to the Barracks and the Sci-Fi Lab, there’s always something to destroy in Madness and Mayhem!

Structure cards are what your creatures wreck to earn points during the competition!

From the prairies to the city, and far beyond, your monsters will run wild or die trying.

[shyphu]

HAAAA! EUREKA! You think I’m just going to stay put while you unleash your monster and take all the glory? HA!

Cut a creature’s limb, glue some parts together, or rocket yourself onto your creature to give it a little extra boost. Eureka cards are all sorts of fun buffs or removals that players can play at any time — either to empower themselves or to slow down others.

Who will be the maddest?

[shyphu]

💀 In Madness and Mayhem, you don’t build heroes — you stitch monsters!

Put a Candle Head on your creation, cut off one of your own limbs to gain more life, or sacrifice the Rubberduck to summon a creature from beyond!

The Cultist family specializes in Upon Death effects — they either demand a sacrifice when played, or unleash powerful effects when they die. Some mad scientists see only red, driven by their dream to one day summon the ultimate abomination from beyond!

I AM GOING TO LUDICON IN MTL to show and playtest Madness and Mayhem, there is still so much to do. Will I make it?

[shyphu]

The Town map so far, I wonder if the paths are clear enough.

What do you think?

[shyphu]

HAAAA! In Madness and Mayhem you create abominations to wreck the town!

Add a cute friend to another creature, give it a suitcase or give it giant strength all of those are Monstrous parts you could slap to your monster.

The Monster Family are creature parts that gives lots of weird effect, upon drawn or upon death, you will often be surprise and gain some advantage for your next abomination should you Unleash another!

[shyphu]

HAAAA! In Madness and Mayhem you create abominations to wreck the town!

SHOOT LAZER BEAM, PLAY CUTE SONGS OR GRAB ANYTHING, What ROBOT parts should you glue to your monster? You shall decide, you're the mad scientist after all!

The Robot Family are creature cards that do powerful effect when build or when unleashed! They also often give armor to your monster, giving it a nice thick body resistance to the little citizen that are blocking your way!

[shyphu]

HAAAAAAA In madness and mayhem you create abominations, make them ALIVE AND WRECK THE TOWN!

The prairies are the 1st map section, break the hunter's cabin, kick the lumber jack in the face, eat all the sheeps or wreck thoese weird plant-monster harverst! You can send your abomination into many paths to bring destruction!

[shyphu]

HAAAAAAAA In Madness & Mayhem You build abominations and wreck the townn!

You might encounter a crypt, a hunter's cabin or a lost wood! The lost wood make you lose one monster part from your monster, like the magic of the forest as charmed your little arms creeping its way into the woods for everrrrrrr.

[shyphu]

HAAAAAAAA In Madness & Mayhem You build abominations and wreck the townn!

You might encounter a crypt, a hunter's cabin or a strange harvest! Hooo you put some chaos into the weird plant-monsters garden and now the farmer is pissed!

[shyphu]

HAAAA! In Madness and Mayhem you create abominations to wreck the town!

Get some Bear foot to your creature, add it a fish's head or slap a fat frog on it, why not!?

Your the crazy mad scientist after all not me! The Animal Family are creature cards that goes well with other animals or just give nice rough life and claws to your monster!

[shyphu]
