Once upon a time the 3 Billy-Goats Gruff were stopped by a horrible troll while trying to cross a bridge. The goats destroyed that Troll, and ever since that time shepherds have weaponized their herds to become mutated monster goats called Gruffs! Gruff is a tactical combat card game where players duel to the death with custom teams of Mutated Monster Goats! Gruff features unique positional and timing mechanics that create a constant state of attack and counter-play.

Gruff: Whispers of Madness is a stand-alone game that is fully compatible with the Gruff rules system and other Gruff games. Whispers of Madness provides the same visceral competitive experience as Gruff, but adds a new mechanic to the game, Sanity and Madness!

A Brutally Competitive Game- Whispers of Madness' combat mechanics create a constant state of counter-play. When an enemy attacks, you have your entire turn to dodge out of the way, mount your defenses, and launch a counterattack before the attack connects!

A Challenging Single Player Game- In Whispers of Madness you will be able to battle solo against the trolls that we unlock as stretch-goals in the campaign. Each troll is a distinct challenge ranging from fairly simple to extremely challenging!

An Awesome Co-Op Game- Players can collaborate with each other to take down the trolls that we unlock during the campaign! Play cards to support your teammate on their turn so that you both can taste the sweetness of victory together!

A Fantastic Multiplayer Game- Whispers of Madness can support a four-player tournament out of a single box! It also allows for three- and four-player free-for-all matches and a two-vs.-two mode!
