We are doing so well—over 200 people believe in this project! Thank you so much. One thing to note: you’ll see the average pledge is now $71.59. This means a few things—some backers are pledging as a donation, some are at the retailer pledge level, and some are buying multiple copies of the game through add-ons! We’ve been working on understanding ROAS (Return on Ad Spend). You can see here that “FB Ad Tracking” has accounted for at least four pledges, bringing in $120. That...]]></description><link>https://www.tablemcw.com/post/acres-final-week-on-kickstarter</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69dd008fe72e8bb038a76269</guid><category><![CDATA[Board Games]]></category><pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:02:50 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/aba580_3a0e5b714b6b4f98a301e31035fe2581~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>lucasmcwhir</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acres- Kickstarter Day 6]]></title><description><![CDATA[More data!

Below is a screenshot of the MILLION dollar campaign for Container. Here is where we are sitting right now. Graph doesn't look too different so I am hopeful that the last few days will be similar to Container's! Okay, 14 days to go and we are almost half way!

I think this is super doable!! Day two we did 31! Something I learned from Allplay is that the last 48 hours bring a lot of people that are following the campaign and have not pledged yet.

I have worked hard and have learned a lot from working at Allplay about making a game not just fun but a viable product.

We have increased the size of the board, streamlined the art to be 100% consistent across all iconography, and made the beavers as cute as humanly possible!
