This is it. Noon EST today. Whatever number we end up at, it's been quite a ride. I'm not going to lie, though. We'd love to hit $100k. Sounds like the tagline to a movie: Just a few hours and a few thousand dollars to go. To get there, we've added... (Read More)

WITHIN REACH: Kickstarter Live *** Stretch Goals *** App Info

April 3rd - via: kickstarter.com

CLOSING IN: Extra Copies *** Meet the Meeples Part 2 *** "The Axe" Hits Gen Con

March 30th - via: kickstarter.com
EXTRA COPIESOne of the questions we've gotten a lot of is: How can I get extra copies of your game? That's a very nice problem to have, but it does present logistical issues, so we wanted to be careful about how we approached it. We also want to keep... (Read More)

Hot on the Trail

March 19th - via: kickstarter.com
Wow! You all really like computer beeps. I figured we'd be good for stretch goals until I got back to Florida. I'm happy to be wrong. Our next couple of goals add some difficulty levels to the app. First up, if we can get to $40k, is expert mode for... (Read More)

Pardon Our Dust

March 17th - via: kickstarter.com
That must be it. Got a little something in my eye. If you'll indulge me in a little personal reflection before we move into stretch goals. By all accounts, divesting from my law practice and starting a game company was a pretty wild idea. (And let's... (Read More)
