Critter Rasslin

There’s a new Chinese restaurant in town and the dumpster in the alley out back is up for grabs. Who will be the last varmint standing to claim the turf as their own, the honorable RACCOON or the loathsome POSSUM ?

Critter Rasslin is the grappling game where varmints clash. Play as the heroic Raccoon or the rotten Possum. The stakes are high as the last trash-eater left standing will win territorial control of the dumpster behind the brand new Chinese restaurant in town.

Approximately 6" x 3.5" x 3.5"

I have always loved board games. As a kid, I thoroughly enjoyed slowly squeezing the life out of my opponents in Monopoly, even so far as giving away “free stays” at my resorts, just to prolong the misery. My brothers and our cousin Michael Valentine played board games all the time as we grew up, sometimes not even knowing how to actually play the game, and making up our own rules. I guess that’s where it started for me. I always enjoyed the creativity of the games and the social interactions that it encouraged (and the holidays they sometimes ruined!).

 I was introduced to Euro games by my friend and neighbor Brandon Butcher who had an enormous board game collection. I was stunned! I didn’t know people still played board games, and I had no idea how many games there were! I vowed right then to never again play “Don’t Wake Daddy”... Once I got the hang of Settlers of Catan, I was hooked. As I played these games, I would unconsciously ask myself, “how would I make this game better”, or “it would be more fun if it had this element in it”. 

Logically, the next step was thinking up my own games and constructing them in my mind. I talked to a few people about my ideas, but there didn’t seem to be much interest, so I let those ideas gather dust through the years. It wasn’t until I got a call from my cousin Michael saying that he and his friend Kyle had talked about making a board game. This was my moment! We got together and I told them a few of my ideas, and we settled on starting full force on developing JunkBots. Without them, I don’t think I would have ever successfully made a board game. Sometimes it takes just the right people in the right situation to make things work, and that’s what happened!

We are passionate about our games, and we hope that you enjoy them as much as we do!
