The one about a witty girl!

Today I will talk about Hania. We’ve just released a new expansion for Imperial Miners, and Hania outdid herself again – she playfully winks at you in every single illustration she made here. I absolutely love it.

The world of Imperial Settlers from the very beginning has been all about humor, and successive illustrators have added jokes to the cards and hidden Easter eggs. We had the little Loki stealing a Hammer on the cards, we had references to Final Fantasy, and much more – Rafał Kucharski, who was in charge of the line for several years, amazed me with every batch of illustrations.

In Imperial Miners Hania proudly took the baton. We didn’t write scenarios for her. We didn’t brief her. We didn’t give her any script.

„Have fun,” we said, „create something cool.”

And man, she had fun indeed. The whole game – apart from being a great card game – has also become a collection of insanely funny scenes and stories about the adventures of little miners and their families. I giggle each time I play a card in Imperial Miners. I look at my hand and lose focus, because I look at artwork, not abilities. I build my mine so it contains the most funny rooms.

Hania lives 300 miles from our HQ. I’ve seen Hania in person twice. I don’t really know Hania. But I do know her a bit… She’s an excellent illustrator and a super witty girl. She’s a perfect addition to our geeky team. I admire her work and cannot wait for you to have fun with the cards.
