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)

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 250 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.
