BadCat Games and Maldito Games Sign New Localisation Partnership

DreamEscape in Spanish

BADCAT GAMES Limited (BCG) and MALDITO GAMES are excited to announce a new partnership to bring BadCatGames’ epic tabletop story game DreamEscape to Spanish speaking international audiences.

After the huge success of BadCat Games’ Cthulhu inspired horror boardgame DreamEscape on Gamefound in 2023, that has currently raised over $350,000, Maldito Games will now be responsible for localisation of the game into Spanish.

Justin Morgan-Davies, CEO of BadCat Games, said, “Cthulhu, the creation of H. P. Lovecraft, has become a cultural phenomenon over the past decade and more and holds a very strong presence in the tabletop boardgame, roleplaying game and video game sector. Our narrative card driven adventure game provides a thrilling deep dive into the nightmare worlds of Cthulhu and the Great Old Ones with an immersive choice-driven style of gameplay that keeps gamers coming back again and again. We plan for Dreamescape and the Dreamquest series to challenge, scare and fascinate international gamers for many years to come. We are delighted to be sharing this vision with the excellent team at Maldito Games.”

Maldito Games will be the international localisation partner for the Spanish retail edition and expansions going forward.

For all enquiries regarding distribution and sales of Dreamescape products in Spanish please contact Maldito Games. For all other enquiries please contact BadCatGames.

GLADIATORES: THE GAME

Gladiatores is a rapid-playing immersive battle game for 2-5 players. Each player plays a gladiator school trying to hire the best of eight heroic gladiators for a sequence of arena events. In each event, players then play their chosen gladiator, using a hand of combat ‘move’ cards that simulate the cut and thrust of actual combat using a unique dueling system where cards can be countered only by certain others. This leads to exciting back and forth chains of cards being played – all to impress the crowd and win the wreaths of glory.

Here is a great video showcasing how the game works.
