Wily Woylies: Card Game

The Wily Woylies box, cards and felt nut tokens

Wily Woylies is a cheeky two-player game of bluffing and guessing, published by COEY Games. You play as a woylie, a small and endangered Australian marsupial, and try to outsmart your opponent by hiding sandalwood nuts and guessing where theirs are hidden.

It’s quick to learn and designed for ages 5 and up, so it works well for a parent and child playing together while still having real tension around risk and reward.

I designed the game mechanics.
