Spurs and Sprockets, Revolutionary Decks

This set is a complete game, but may also be combined with the original set to play Spurs and Sprockets with 4, 5 or 6 players.

Spurs and Sprockets is a perfect information, abstract strategy game for 2 to 3 players (up to 6 when 2 versions are combined). Players each have a matching deck of eight cards/tiles that they take turns placing orthogonally into a 4 X 4 grid, (5X5 grid in a 3 player game) in an attempt to link three or four in a row. There is no board in Spurs and Sprockets so the grid grows organically, based on the placement of cards/tiles.

This 4th edition of Spurs and Sprockets comes with 24 square cards and rules for 5 different ways of playing, ranging from a simple Tic-Tac-Toe-like game where players gain 8 points for four in a row and 3 points for each set of three in a row, to a game where every placement of a card may result in an attack and removal of another card. Plus there are rules for 2 to 6 players, individually or in teams.

Spurs and Sprockets was developed to inspire game designers to create variants and additional ways to play with the decks.

The First Edition of Spurs and Sprockets was printed as a post card game and given away by the designer at a Southern California Strategicon Convention in 2012.

The Second Edition was made out of laser cut birch and was extremely limited.

The 3rd Edition includes exclusive artwork and comes with a third set of 8 cards we are calling the "Edison Deck".

This 4th Edition includes exclusive artwork in all of the 3 decks. Stars, Stripes and Union Jacks. A few cards also include special symbols to be used with our newest "Flanking" rules.
