Hello all! 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

More data! We are fighting for this campaign and we are just about half way. I imagine that this will be the case for the next week as is the usual trend for kickstarters. 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!

In an effort of transparency I want to walk everyone through checkpoints of the campaign! I think this will be especially helpful for people who have not launched a game before.

Dear Reader, I am so exited to have this game be finally launched. I have worked hard and have learned a lot from working at Allplay about making a game not just fun but a viable product. It has been a lot of sleepless nights but I am proud of the work I was able to do as a lowly accountant learning marketing, graphic design, logistics. None of this would have been possible without the mentorship from my team at Allplay and my beyond supportive wife, Katie! If you have been f

Where have you been?!!! Just kidding. We have been working HARD on a complete revamp of the art for this game. While I fell in love with the oil painting and small cabin feel, we needed to go bigger and better to turn this game into a viable product! Well wait no longer. 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! Dylan Chase has done an amazing job with the cover
