A devoted Stardew Valley enthusiast has ingeniously crafted their own version of the beloved “Guess Who?” board game, using characters from the wildly popular farming simulator. This fan-created twist on the classic two-player guessing game challenges players to identify the chosen face card through a series of yes-or-no questions, now featuring beloved Stardew Valley figures like Shane, Penny, and even the enigmatic Wizard.
Since its debut in 2016, Stardew Valley, developed single-handedly by Eric Barone, also known as ConcernedApe, has become a standout title in the indie gaming world. It has cultivated a thriving community that sees tens of thousands of players diving into the farming life every day on Steam alone. The game’s success has also fueled a wave of similar simulation titles, ranging from Roots of Pacha to Moonstone Island. Meanwhile, “Guess Who?” has maintained its status as a staple in the world of board games for over 45 years, thanks to its straightforward and engaging gameplay. Recently, a talented fan managed to create a captivating blend of these two games, sparking interest across the internet.
On Reddit, user mellywheats shared a glimpse of their Stardew Valley-themed version of “Guess Who?” This creative set includes face cards depicting characters like Sam, Abigail, Jodie, Harvey, and Krobus, among others. While the post showcased 24 face cards, matching the number in a standard game of “Guess Who?”, mellywheats revealed they’ve designed a whopping 48 cards. Among them are two new custom characters, Clover and Chance. On the StardewValley subreddit, fellow fans showered mellywheats with accolades, with one even expressing a willingness to purchase the game. In the comments, some humorously suggested alternative names like “Starwho? Valley” for this unique creation.
This Stardew Valley-inspired “Guess Who?” stands as yet another testament to the game’s enduring appeal and the creativity it inspires among its fans. Beyond this board game adaptation, there have been numerous other impressive fan creations, such as LEGO renditions of Stardew Valley buildings that have gained viral attention on social media platforms.
Following Stardew Valley’s massive success, its developer, ConcernedApe, is hard at work on his next project, Haunted Chocolatier. This upcoming game places players in the role of a chocolatier within a town inhabited by both the living and spirits. While a release date hasn’t been set, the developer recently confirmed that Haunted Chocolatier is back in active development after a period on the backburner.
Stardew Valley’s legacy continues strong. You inherited your grandfather’s old farm plot in Stardew Valley. With your tools and a few coins, you embark on your new life. Can you turn the overgrown fields into a thriving farm, especially against the backdrop of Joja Corporation’s modern influence?
