Berkeley, CA – December 5th, in the year of our Lord
2012 – Independent micro studio BitFlip Games today
confirmed that its debut tactical collectible card game Minion
Master will move out of beta and will be available commercially
through digital channels, including Desura, on December 10th
priced at $20.00. Combining the moment-to-moment tactics of
Collectible Card Games with the long-term strategy of Miniature
Wargaming, Minion Master is a digital board game like you've
never seen before.
“It’s been a long time coming, but we are pleased to announce
the commercial launch of our debut digital board game release –
influenced by classics such as Magic: The Gathering, Heroscape,
and Starcraft, Minion Master brings the worlds of tabletop and
video games together in a frantic new way” said David
Steinwedel, Executive Producer of BitFlip Games, “We would like
to thank our long-term beta players for their help in shaping
the universe and look forward to welcoming new players over the
coming months”.
The Minion Master Release update will include a host of new
features that expand the universe. The most prominent of which
are new micro-management tools which allow players to command
individual units, groups, or their entire army at any time. “The
most consistent feedback from the community,” said Technical
Director Guy Somberg, “was the need for more control. We
responded with Micro-Controls, which keep the game fast paced
while allowing players to direct any Minion on the board at any
time.”
Minion Master pre-orders are available until the game launches
on December 10th. In addition to a larger collection of cards to
use in game, players who pre-order will receive the first
expansion set, a Steampunk-themed set of Minions & cards, for
free when available. A demo version of the game is also
available for players to try, with a starter deck and limited
access to the built in Level Editor. Players can sign up and get
started at
