QuantumZap
Welcome to QuantumZap! It’s a card-based game of bluffing and bidding over 5 rounds, where players develop land and chase riches... or ruin.
Outsmart friends in chaotic auctions where every shout counts.
Lie, scheme, and sabotage
Secretly survey land, spread misinformation, or just cause a scene.
Asymmetric characters & wild Action Cards
No two games (or betrayals) are ever the same.
High risk, higher reward
Develop land for big payouts... or crushing debt.
5 rounds to build your empire
Become the Truest Wildcatter or flame out in legendary fashion.
A powerful new resource, QuantumZap—or Zap—is changing the future of energy. You’ve secured investor backing for your energy empire and landed in the resource-rich West Planetary Region. Now it’s time to turn that vision into fortune. But you’re not alone. Others want the same prize. Who will strike it rich—and who will lose it all?
In QuantumZap, players bid on lots that may contain valuable Zap to generate credits and outmaneuver rivals. But beware—not every lot delivers. Will you strike it rich… or be left flipping empty lots and dodging debt collectors?
That’s Zappy. Our electric mascot. Your questionable life coach. A lightning bolt with a dream. And no impulse control.
Zappy’s here to cheer you on, mess with your strategy, and occasionally pop up on cards that change everything.
They’re part hype man, part hazard warning.
And their face? It says exactly what the situation calls for—glee, dread, or “oops, all debt.”

QuantumZap is played over 5 rounds, each with 4 exhilarating phases.
🔍 Phase 01: Discover
Peek, plot, or get paid to quit.
- Secretly survey a lot (or just say you did).
- Buy an Action Card to stir the pot.
- Sell your undeveloped land to the Environmental Conservancy Fund for a shady payout.
🔨 Phase 02: Bid
Count down. Shout your bid. Hope you didn’t overpay.
- Real-time shouting auction—“3, 2, 1… 7 MILLION!”
- Ties lead to open bidding mayhem.
- If you can’t afford it, you’re out. Zappy doesn’t do loans.
🧱 Phase 03: Develop
Pay 2M to flip a Lot face-up.
- If it’s good: cha-ching.
- If it’s bad: enjoy your new debt token.
- Flip it sideways to mark it as decommissioned. Shame included free of charge.
💸 Phase 04: Collect
Get paid... or punished.
- Earn credits from developed lots.
- Take debt from bad ones.
- Everyone gets 2M from their “investors”
(aka the QZA).
After 5 Rounds
Tally your Victory Points from:
- Developed lots
- Credit hoards
- Suit bonuses
- And those sweet, sweet sets
The richest Wildcatter wins. The rest? They had fun. Probably.
