TerrorBull Games is an independent games studio based in Cambridge, UK. TerrorBull Games was founded in October 2005 by Andrew Sheerin and Andy Tompkins in order to self-publish their first board game, War on Terror. According to their own blog, TerrorBull approached several existing publishers with the game and found themselves "laughed out of the room". Starting their own game design and publishing company appeared to be the only path Sheerin and Tompkins could take.
Releases
War on Terror, the boardgame (2006)
TerrorBull Games' mission statement says it intends to "grapple with the nasty things in life through the medium of the board game". Indeed, their first release, War on Terror, generated a large amount of controversy and opposition, with several UK Members of Parliament offering their (negative) opinion at the time. Opponents claimed that a board game is not a suitable platform for dealing with such issues.
Crunch, the game for utter bankers (2009)
Released in 2009, Crunch is a card game based on the credit crunch in which you play as the CEO of a bank. The aim is not to have the richest bank, but to have the biggest retirement fund. This is achieved by embezzling (hiding assets), or by playing bonus or event cards.
The Hen Commandments (2015)
Released with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign, The Hen Commandments is a linguistic party game for 3-8 players (although the publishers claim they have played with entire classrooms) in which players work collaboratively to create a new religion based on the worship of a holy chicken who issues the eponymous commandments through a series of card decks containing words and phrases that fit together to make a dynamically-generated commandment.
