Ishi-Ishi, Akki Crackshot

Goatnapper Design Tale

New 24 Jan 2016 Asked by mreric119 177 Comments

Yesterday was my birthday. May I please have some trivia on any of my favorite cards: Ishi-Ishi, Akki Crackshot, Goatnapper, or Haunting Echoes?


When we printed Goatnapper, I had the following conversation with R&D. Me: We need to have one Goat. It can be rare but we need at least one. R&D: No, that’s the joke. It’s funnier without a Goat. Me: You don’t have to deal with the public. I’m going to get a lot of jail from a lot of upset players. Please, one Goat. R&D: We don’t think that will happen. Flash forward: The set gets released with no Goat and I get bombarded with mail by upset players. Happy Birthday!
