We've made it to the end of the campaign!

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for backing this campaign and making this project a success. We are a truly indie company, and we can only keep making games because of backers like you.

Here are some stats about this campaign:

Right now, we are busy setting up the pledge manager and prepping the game files for manufacturing. We just finished final revisions to the rulebooks, and everything is almost ready to go. The sooner we get everything sent off, the sooner we can deliver your games.

As backers, all you have to do for now is hold tight. You should start to see your cards charged within the next 24 hours. We'll continue to send out updates as the production process progresses. Once manufacturing is nearly complete, we'll send out surveys to collect shipping addresses and fees. You can expect that near the end of this year.

As of this morning, we have surpassed the $ 8,000 mark with over 370 backers. Thank you all for your support.

This campaign was a bit of an experiment for us. We wanted to see how Backerkit's features compare to Kickstarter, where we have run all of our previous campaigns. With that in mind, we purposefully ran this as a very low-risk campaign. No stretch goals, minimum spent on advertising. Just focusing on these two small games and learning the ropes of this platform.

You are the ones who helped us make this a success. Now, we currently have a little under a week left in the campaign. So please, if you know anyone who might be interested, please share it. While we have funded, the more money we make, the larger a print run we can afford. That will mean more options for us to continue selling the games on our website, at conventions, and possibly even in more retail stores in the future.

We’d also like to remind folks that if you back three or more campaigns in the Card Game section of Poketopia, of which we are part, you will get a freebie from each campaign that funds. So if you haven’t yet, take a look at some of the other campaigns, and spread the love.

Riposte! and Cell Block 18 have been funded, and we couldn't be happier. There are a lot of other cool games up as part of this Pocketopia event that we think should be funded, but haven't quite made it there yet. So we wanted to point them out to folks.

The Cure is a portable, hidden-role co-op game for 2-4 players. However, there is a chance for a hidden traitor. We've played this one in person several times with the folks from the Baron’s Game Room, and it's a blast. It’s a fast-paced game with just a bit of paranoia.

This is an interesting 2-player path-building strategy game. David backed this one because of his love of pathing games and the art's Victorian aesthetic. It also looks like a deceptively simple, yet thinky, type of game, as your options on the next turn are somewhat limited by your previous play.

This one was backed by Will. It’s a 1-3 player tactical programming combat game where you have to choose the best gnomes for your squad and which order to place them. Power and positioning matter as they face off against your opponent’s gnomes. The art is great,

This is another hidden role game. Your goal is simple: either identify and kill the King, or if you are the King, stay hidden and survive. The game has some beautiful art, and it's so close to funding.

The Campaign for Cell Block 18 and Riposte! is officially funded!

Thank you, all of our backers. 

You are the reason we can bring this project to life.

I just posted an update with some background about the design of Cell Block 18. If you got the email that went along with it, you probably noticed the... uh... technical problem.

I'm not exactly sure what happened with that, but I'll be checking with BackerKit to see if that was our mistake or theirs.

Anyway, you can read the full update on BackerKit.

Thanks,
Will
