About the game
Bulánci is the original Czech freeware game for Microsoft Windows from 2001, in which Bulánci - known as E.A.P. (extremely aggressive pillows) fight against each other. The game is 2D with an overhead view. It was created by the Czech company SleepTeam Labs. In 2021 Bulánci 2.0 was announced commercially for PC/Mac/Linux and game console Playstation/Switch/Xbox. The port was funded on Czech crowdfunding site Startovač. During the crowdfunding campaign, SleepTeam released a standalone card game Bulánci: Speciální jednotky. The second pillow war is coming to a head. Soon it will become clear which pillow is the toughest. In the game, you play the role of an officer tasked with assembling the best possible special unit of soldiers. Each unit has only 4 members in the form of cards lying in front of the player. The strongest unit wins the battle, but the war is not over yet. You need to build more and more units until you get 5 buttons and reach the rank of general... In December 2022, Sleepteam released the free downloadable expansion Bulánci: Speciální jednotky – Důstojnický deník (Officer's Journal). After the first edition was sold out, Velitelská edice (Commander's Edition) was released in August 2024, containing 3 new expansions, including Důstojnický deník.
