Read the full game description

Mindbug: Battlefruit Kingdom is a standalone two-player dueling set built on Mindbug’s tiny-deck, no-deckbuilding system. Each player receives a random set of powerful hybrid creatures and only two Mindbugs. On a turn, summon a creature or attack with one already in play—but whenever a creature is played, the opponent may spend a Mindbug to steal it permanently. The tension comes from presenting threats in the right order: reveal the best card too early and it changes sides; hold it too long and the rival establishes an unbeatable board. Battlefruit Kingdom introduces Harvest abilities that trigger after a creature survives for several turns, rewarding protection and long-term sequencing, while the Fast keyword lets selected creatures attack immediately. Pineapple Paladins, the Lychee King, and other comic produce warriors make the duel readable and lively. The set plays independently and can also mix with Battlefruit Galaxy and other Mindbug releases, preserving the same fair random-deck premise while expanding the tactical vocabulary.
