The Creator
Meet Sam, age 10
“Sam didn't just come up with a game — he built Rage Bait from the ground up. Every card, every rule, every brutal twist came from his ideas. Now we have to take it to the next level.”
— Rod (Sam's Dad)
It's just the two of us — a dad and his son in Australia — plus a growing crew of players who test the cards, roast the bad ones and cheer the good ones. No company, no investors. Just a kid's idea and a lot of people helping make it real.

The Next Chapter
Artists wanted.
Sam designed every card, every rule, and every brutal twist. The pictures you see on this site are prototypes — made fast so we could print decks, play 346 games, and break the rules before we spent a dollar on final art.
That job is done. The game works. Now the cards need real hands.
We are looking for illustrators — students, emerging artists, and working professionals — to take Sam’s creatures, chaos cards and arena world and draw the finished edition. Not a polish pass on a generated image. Original artwork.
If you can make a Thunder Ape look like it might actually ruin game night, we want to talk.
The Online Beta
You're not just playing a game.You're helping build one.
Rage Bait Arena™ is still being developed, and that's exactly what makes this special. Play the online beta, break it, and tell Sam what V4 should be.
Play Free Now
Solo against the Arena or online with a friend. No download, no deck.
Pick Your Opponent
The Arena handles the rules in solo games. Playing a friend? You enforce the rules together.
Give Feedback
Tell Sam what works, what doesn't and what should change for V4.
Shape V4
Community feedback influences the final game.
Become a Founding Rage Baiter
Founding Rage Baiters are the players who helped test the game before V4. Play the beta, send Sam your feedback and the team may add you to the Founding Players wall — names are added by hand, not automatically when you sign up.
Want to play in real life now? The V3 Beta Deck is a prototype beta deck, printed on demand — not the future illustrated edition.
