December 10, 2018 Disclosure: Cartooner‘s co-designer Jason Thompson is the manga editor for Otaku USA magazine.
Around this time last year we posted about Cartooner, a tabletop game that promised an American comic-themed followup to the manga-drawing game Mangaka: The Fast & Furious Game of Drawing Comics. The project was a success on Kickstarter, and now the final product is available for purchase.
Cartooner comes with 136 Theme Cards, all featuring the beautiful artwork of Konstantin Pogorelov. Whether you want to play with friends and have fun with all the available themes or use the prompts as practice in solo mode, Cartooner has something for all levels of artists and non-artists alike.
You can find out more information on the official website, and copies are available to purchase via Japanime Games.
