FROM THE WORKSHOP / NOVEMBER 2026 UPDATE
The road to
March 2027.
A free Bufus Games framework. Human-made artwork. More games to build together.
Only the Bufus Games core module will be released for free. Grab It! Let’s Go! (GILG), including its own game-specific core rules, is a separate paid game. Like all other Bufus Games games, GILG is built on the Bufus Games framework. Over the next few months, I’m compiling our play-tested rules and developing human-made artwork. A crowdfunding campaign targeted for March 2027 will support games, expansions, game cards, and other products built on that framework.
