Vladimir Bratovich Scenario UNLOCKED!!!

Whoa! That was quick. We hit the 48 hour mark and you all knocked another Stretch Goal out and are well on the way to the next one! We just unlocked the final additional scenario for the game, and are moving on to the the last special bonus goal. At $88,888 we'll be including another art piece in every copy of the game. While these will suitable for framing, the are different from the limited, signed Steven Wu prints in the DELUXE pledge tier, and the signed Kwanchai Moriya poster add-on. 

But what you'll also see is we've opened up the next few Stretch Goals. That includes accent gold foiling on the box, and full custom dice for all versions of the game. We know this is exciting since custom dice are one of the things people have most asked about, and we're certain these are going to be a welcomed and thematic inclusion at your tables.

Linen Finish Cards UNLOCKED!!!

Ok, so please forgive the bad puns in these update titles. This one inspired a groan from me even as a I wrote it. Instead, we can focus on the fact that we unlocked yet another Stretch Goal on our way to the end of the campaign. All cards in the game will be updated to linen finish! We have a bunch of great goals lined up, so let's see how far we can go. Up next is a scenario written by Vladimir Bratovich, and if we make the lucky $88,888 all copies of the game will see another special art print added to the box.

That Hits the Spot!

UV Spot Coating UNLOCKED!!!

We were hoping to unlock this goal by the end of the weekend, and with all your help, we reached that goal about a day earlier than we expected! We're quickly approaching the end of the campaign, and it's exciting to see us already unlocking these physical component upgrades. This initial goal will add to the shelf presence of this game, both for retailers, and for the owners of this game. 

Our next goal is an upgrade to one of the most important physical components of the game: The Cards. When we reach the next Stretch Goal, all the cards will be upgraded to heavier card stock with a linen finish which allows for smoother handling of cards along play surfaces and in the hand.
