Coffeemill Games is hard at work on Trader’s Journey, a retro-inspired adventure card game! Collect coins, buy loot, battle monsters, explore the land of Arden, and become legend as a Trader.

The game is nearly complete and will be ready to launch on Kickstarter in 2025.

Creatures, Beasts, Goblins, and Ghouls of Trader's Journey! #pixelart #art #boardgame #boardgames

Coffeemill Games @coffeemillgames.bsky.social · Jul 21

I'm excited to announce that there will be TWO mini-expansions available when the game launches!

1. Critters and Curses, a monster-catching take on TJ gameplay.

2. Champions of Arden, an entirely PvP-focused expansion.

New vs Old Dungeon Cards!

What's new:

* Pixel art updated to better match the 'dungeon' theme.

* Dungeon 'levels' are now numbered for clarity

* The difference between the flavor text and dungeon ruleset is now clearly separated.

The latest iterations of Critter cards.

Critter cards behave like normal enemy cards when drawn... with the 'catch' being that they can be caught and used as a companion! Let me know what you think!

More info on Critters at www.coffeemillgames.com/tradersjourney !

Made a new Critter card today, then got bored and decided to animate it. So enjoy: Shroom Shaman vs. Gobble Goblin! #pixelart #art #boardgames

Just a big ol' frog. He'll be an enemy card for my game, but that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a name. Please help me name him!

A little animation for Trader’s Journey

Coffeemill Games @coffeemillgames.bsky.social · Jan 18

Alright… should the cards have icons, no icons (text only), or a mix of both??

Coffeemill Games @coffeemillgames.bsky.social · Jan 17

Thank you, glad you like it!
