Imagine you’re hiding from the midnight sun in a dimly lit tavern in New Torwood City. A mech server drops a pitcher of ale on your table—shared with two dockhands from Squall’s End and a reaper fresh off the boat from Oxeye thera mine. You’re near the end of a tense game of Cogs & Crowns. The pot of thera chips is big enough to pay your rent for a month. You’ve got only two cards left: the 2 of Crowns and the Mech Mage. Victory is so close… until the reaper slaps down the Saboteur.
Hi! I’m Kim McDougall, and this is exactly the kind of trouble you’ll find in Mech and Magic, the newest book in my Knack Series—an epic, steampunk-flavored adventure where gears turn, magic sparks, and danger deals itself in.
Cogs & Crowns, the card game played in taverns, tea rooms, and high salons across New Torwood City, appears so often in the story that I thought… why not make a real version? So I did! (Possibly I have too much time on my hands 😂)
After much tinkering, trial, and just a few explosions, I present: Cogs & Crowns—a fast, fun game that mixes the best of classic card play with just a hint of role-playing chaos.
And to celebrate the launch of Mech and Magic, I’m giving away two Cogs & Crowns game sets PLUS signed paperbacks of the new book!
