Hexcrement: Search Collect Roll
Embark on a dung-filled journey with Hexcrement, a game that combines cunning strategy, daring moves, and unpredictable outcomes. Easy to learn and intuitive to play! Think Snakes and Ladders meets Ludo and Memory! Will you strategize your way to victory, or rely on your beetle instincts in this quirky world? Gather your friends and family for an evening of whimsical fun.
Objective: Roll the dice, find your smelly bounty, and return home to lay your eggs. Beware, fellow beetles may eye your dung. Protect your stash and plot to pilfer from others. Good luck on your dung-filled journey!
Hexcrement Adventure: Step into the six-legged shoes of dung beetles on an epic quest. Your mission? Navigate hexagonal landscapes, scour for precious dung, and return to your humble abode. Engage in thrilling battles of luck and strategy, protect your precious cargo, and pilfer from competitors.
Hexcrement offers both a simple and a complex challenge! Search for the same-colored dung or try to collect two different types to secure victory.
Battle Rules:
- Initiating a battle: Roll high enough to land on another player’s tile.
- Dice Roll Showdown: Challenger wins if their roll is higher, receiving ONE dung card. No loss if there’s a tie.
- Swipe Card Option: Use a swipe card instead of rolling dice.
- Handling Multiple Dung: Give dung of the preferred color to the successful challenger.
Direction Coin: Flip the coin to determine clockwise or anticlockwise movement. Follow your direction, aligning with the arrow marked on your coin. Moving without direction is against the rules.
Time Rule (Optional): Add a time limit for an accelerated game. Flip hex cards face up on playmats, strategize for victory, and maintain an element of risk and reward. Hexcrement can flip suddenly, unexpectedly, and in surprising ways. Never assume victory is just a few turns away!
Hexcrement – Where play meets conservation in a dung beetle’s world!

Hey Aelytra!
I heard about you guys from The Table flippers at PlayCon when showing my game, they told me how you have just gone through a successful kickstarter and she said I should definitely have a chat with you guys to hear about your journey as it is a journey I am about to undertake and they could see alignment between our projects.
Congratulations btw on your successful kickstarter!
For context, I have developed a game which takes place in a dying land under attack from monsters which get more powerful the less healthy the environment is. The heroes job is to work together with their various skills to recover the environment before the monsters become too powerful. One of the classes is a Zoologist who revives and rewilds animals that are extinct in the game (currently all endangered) and the twist is the monsters have to follow certain ecological rules of the animals so each of the animals have perks and abilities based on how they live hunt and survive that impact how the monsters can play.
Would love to have a chat with you guys and hear your story!
