Kickstarting Sugar Heist, a delightful card game about stealing candy from babies

Sugar Heist is a fun-looking new card game from YouTube comedian/animator Alex Clark and TV writer Zach Craley (Heroes Reborn, Marvels Avengers Assemble, and Spider-Man) with a simple goal: trade and steal cards so you can build up a giant stash of candy. "We guarantee that Sugar Heist is THE BEST way to bring together family and friends," the creators write, "so you can betray their trust and steal from them."

Here's the epic origin story behind this wacky game:

Sugar Heist was inspired by Alexs best friends, Zach and Kat, having twins. When they were born, Alex looked to his wife, Pam, and said: Its finally time for our own baby. Alex quickly clarified that he meant a tabletop game and thankfully Pam was still on board.

The four of us play games regularly and have always dreamed of making our own, but we also loved putting it off. It wasnt until the twins were born that we decided to follow through.

Based on their birth, Alex immediately had an epiphany,"What if its a game where you collect candy and use it to lure children into your van."

Based on these convos we realized our idea was wildly inappropriate. While a game catering to that crowd might be a great way to roundup weirdos, To Catch a Predator-style, we knew wed prefer to reach a wider audience.

We thought lets do something not creepy What if stealing candy from babies wasnt always easy? What if these babies could defend themselves?
