As part of the acquisition, game designer Alessio Cavatore will join Mantic Games. Cavatore has previously collaborated with both companies on several projects, and his expertise in game design is expected to contribute significantly to future product developments.

The acquisition follows a history of cooperative ventures between Mantic Games and Cavatore, including titles like Kings of War, Warpath, Loka, Umbrella Academy, Worms, and the forthcoming Epic Warpath. This new arrangement promises to foster further innovation and the development of high-quality gaming experiences.

To celebrate this significant development, Mantic Games has also announced their first new project together—a special collection marking the 40th Anniversary of Jim Henson’s Labyrinth. This collection is scheduled for launch on Gamefound this summer and will feature new miniatures and game content that pay tribute to the movie’s rich storytelling and magical world.

Fans of Mantic Games and River Horse are encouraged to follow the campaign page for updates on this project and more news from the “Summer of Sci-Fi” series.

For those keen to get their hands on this fun-filled game, the window for pre-orders remains open. The game promises a mix of excitement and nostalgia, with two distinct games housed in one vibrant package: “snap” and “Where’s that Fraggle?”

In “snap,” the action is quick and thrilling. Players must keep their eyes peeled for a match between two cards and be the first to exclaim “snap!” to win the round. Designed to be fast-paced and entertaining, “snap” is perfect for players of all ages, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.

The second game, “Where’s that Fraggle?,” offers a test of memory. Players must recall the location of a Fraggle and match it with the corresponding card. This game, while ideal for young players, poses an enjoyable challenge for adults too, ensuring that Fraggle Rock: The Card Game caters to all members of the family.

Packaged within a charming tin box, Fraggle Rock: The Card Game includes 54 delightful Fraggle cards and rules for both games. The game’s vibrant artwork and straightforward rules are sure to rekindle cherished memories of the classic TV show and provide hours of engaging entertainment.

In “snap,” players must quickly identify a match between two cards and shout “snap!” to score points. Meanwhile, in “Where’s that Fraggle?”, players must use their memory skills to match the location of a Fraggle character with the corresponding card.

The game comes in a cute tin box and includes 54 Fraggle-themed cards, as well as easy-to-learn rules for both games. The colorful artwork is sure to evoke fond memories of the classic TV show for longtime fans, while also providing an entertaining introduction for younger players.
