Hoarding Games And You: A Dragon’s Story

In the game of Havok & Hijinks, a handful of precocious young dragons are tasked by their parents with going forth into the world and starting their own treasure hoards. Whether it’s because the parents are simply sick of sharing with their offspring or that these little ones don’t fully appreciate the effort involved into amassing and coveting large swaths of treasure, we aren’t sure. Treasure hoarding can be a full time job in and of itself for a dragon, after all.

This, game puts you into the role of these mischievous (not to mention adorable) youths and asks you to get as much treasure as you can first. Some of that will be based around finding these items in the wild:

hh gem

 

Or swiping them when no one is looking:

hh steal 2

 

Or managing to steal those items back:

hh recover

 

The point is, even though this is a rather simple task, you’ll need to be prepared to defend your hoard as best you can!

We are no dragons, but us humans can be pretty good at hoarding too. So we’re running a contest this month all about that.

Entering this month’s contest is simple: we want to see examples of your gaming hoard! Simply snap a picture and show it to us. Bonus points to anyone who includes a dragon or parrot in their pictures. The more creative the photos, the better!

 

You can share it with us in four different ways:

  1. Go to our Facebook page. Find the posting for this article (Hoarding Games And You), and leave a comment on it with the photo attached. (Facebook allows you to attach photos in comments).
  2. Send us a tweet on Twitter (@CardboardNews) of the picture with the hashtag #myhoard.
  3. Share the photo to Google+ with The Cardboard Republic in sharing permissions.
  4. Email the photo to contest@cardboardrepublic.com.

 

Each person is allowed to enter two photos each. But they must be your own pictures.

Our prizes this time around are hoard-based too! The more people who enter, the bigger the prize gets. Stage One and Two have been revealed, but we have more stages in the works. So get sharing!
