The card game that becomes your personal travel diary.
The Hook - Bucket List is a light card drafting game about collecting the places you've visited, the creatures you've spotted, and the wonders you've seen. Part card game, part nature journal, part travel diary — it's the game that keeps scoring long after the box goes back on the shelf.
The Mechanism - Players draft cards from a shared market and build a growing tableau, placing each card next to one already in play. Score points by building runs of four or more matching symbols in any row or column, with bonus points for longer streaks. Simple enough to teach in two minutes; satisfying enough to replay all evening.
The Twist - Every card has a checkbox. Tick it off when you've really been there, really spotted that bird, really stood in front of that landmark. Your personal bucket list grows with every game you play — and ticked cards score you bonus points, so a life well lived is worth something at the table too.
The Opportunity - Bucket List is designed as a series — each edition a new destination, a new wildlife theme, a new bucket list waiting to be filled. Low component count, clean visual design, and a natural home in tourist shops, gift retailers, and nature centres make it as strong a retail proposition as it is a game. The first two editions — London and Australian Birds — are prototype-ready and available to play.
