First day milestones
about 2 months ago – Thu, May 07, 2026 at 07:24:42 PM

We are coming to the end of the first day, and things are coming along well.

I'd like to thank all 60 backers who have pledged their support so far. We have a lot of followers who haven't backed yet, so we expect that number to tick up steadily.

We've got a few fun things coming up. 🎉

First, we are doing a livestream on YouTube tomorrow evening alongside Baron's Game Room. We'll be doing playthroughs of Cell Block 18, Riposte!, and The Cure starting at 6:30 CDT / 4:30 PDT.

Second, we've got updated sticker designs from Alisha Giroux. Remember, if you back our campaign and two others under the Card Games banner, you'll get the stickers for free. This weekend, I'll post a poll so backers can vote on the sticker designs they like best.

Thanks again for all the support,

Will & David

3 Days Until Launch!
about 2 months ago – Mon, May 04, 2026 at 05:19:35 PM

Hi friends,

We are three days away from Riposte! and Cell Block 18 launching. Thank you for following. We are very excited to get this project off the ground.

For now, I've got a couple more small details to share. First, if you visited our preview page, you may have seen the prices listed as $14 per game and $25 for the pair. I'm glad to say we've gotten some new production quotes, and we can drop that price a little. Now, you'll be able to get each game for $12 or the pair for $20!

Two games for $20 is a great value, if I do say so myself.

Second, I wanted to share a short playthrough of Cell Block 18 that David and I recorded last weekend. I'll be sharing a playthrough of Riposte! and somehow play videos of both games in the next few days.

👉 Watch the Cell Block 18 playthrough on Instagram.

Thanks,
Will

One Week & Collaborations
2 months ago – Wed, Apr 29, 2026 at 01:19:38 PM

We are just about one week away from launch! We are very excited to kick off Pocketopia. While we've launched several crowdfunding campaigns in the past, this is our first on BackerKit. So far, we are loving the platform.

I sent out this information in an email a couple of days ago, but I wanted to share it here as well. As part of the Pocketopia event, we are participating in a couple of collaborations for this campaign. When you back our collaborators and us, you get free stuff!

First, we are collaborating with fellow Oklahoma game makers, The Baron's Game Room. When you back our campaign and The Cure, you'll receive a free Oklahoma Board Game Design Association sticker.



We are also part of the Pocketopia Card Games Banner. When you back this campaign and two other campaigns under the Card Games banner, we'll send you an exclusive Riposte! and Cell Block 18 sticker pack.



The stickers in the image aren't final, and we'll announce the exact size and number in a future update.

Thanks for following!
