Latest Updates from Our Project:
Project Update: Masterminds: Heist Society June 2023 - Sample is in !

Manufacturer's Sample has ARRIVED !!!
June 2023 - Project Update: Masterminds: Heist Society
The manufacturer's sample copy came in the mail for review and we are super excited. Join us in unboxing it in the video. (See the video above)
We have noted a few minor alignment details on the box. This is normal as each manufacturer's equipment setup can be slightly different. We also noted the purple gems are very "pink" in the video. We will get this adjusted as well.
NEXT STEPS...:
We will be reviewing the sample for any errors and checking card counts for accuracy. Additionally, I'll be doing a full review of all the "Get-In-The-Game" cards as well. Once this is done, the factory will have the green light and the mass production run will start.
TIMELINE UPDATE...:
Currently, the factory is quoting 45 to 60 days for customers to receive products which puts fulfillment in late August.
I am super excited and cannot wait to get this into your hands to play !!

May 2023 - Project Update: Masterminds: Heist Society
First the "Meh" news: I was trying to hold off on the update until I had the manufacturer's review copy in my hand, but it is still sailing to the US currently.
The Good news: The video (above) of the playmat! I opted for the edge to edge printing with the stitched edges and they came out looking even better. I have used the mat a few times with bare cards and sleeved cards and in both cases the cards moved smoothly over the surface. As I unrolled the playmat in the video I had "Oh Yeah" by Yello playing in my head.
The Better News: In working with the manufacturer with material weights and shipping costs, together we were able to add more cards to the game and include rules and cards for a 6th player !! This I really like as I wanted players to have the option for team-play variants of the game.

April 2023 - Masterminds: Heist Society Update
This month's update is a little less glamourous and a lot more logistical. We have received confirmation from the manufacturer that the sample game is being created - HOORAY!! The processing and shipping take 21-28 days even with air freight from China. While it does take 2 weeks longer than expected, I wanted to be sure that the game you receive will be top quality and without errors. Once I have the sample and approve it, the game goes to print (exciting), and then gets shipped to the US via freight shipping with an estimated 25 days at sea (not exciting).
In related news, I have received the playmats and they look great! -but I am over seas currently (celebrating my wife's, grandma's, 100th birthday!). -So look for a subsequent short update next weekend with the pictures after I return state-side.
Lastly, and I may sound like a broken record here, but we still have a couple physical backers that need to complete their surveys. We will continue to reach out via BackerKit and email.
As always Masterminds. Be good, -or be good at it...

March 2023 - Masterminds: Heist Society Update
Playmats are ready and shipping
Stage 2 almost complete...
Not a big update this month, but the plan is still in motion...!
In the picture: I received confirmation from the factory that the PLAYMATS are on route currently. I hope to have them in hand before next month's update.
Pins are in: The Diamond Pins have also arrived from "Sticker Mule". They are looking good; I will give everyone a heads-up in that each pin has a removable protective film on the front of the pin to protect the high gloss face. Be sure to remove it else the image will look dull.
Surveys: We still still have three physical backers that need to complete their surveys. We will continue to reach out via BackerKit and email.
Odds-&-Ends:A side-note for fellow backers -- In the last three(-ish) weeks, I have received survey links on four of the other boardgame projects that I backed back in early and mid 2022. I would suggest everyone be on the lookout for any of your lingering projects that may be close to fulfillment.
Until next time remember... Be Good, or Be Good At It !!

In the Video: (Please forgive the slow camera wobble.) The Gem paperweight and the proof for the Playmat are here and I think they look great. As I said in the video, the Playmat needs to have the art tweaked just a bit to keep all the graphics inside the stitching; that said the mat colors a vivid and the card spaces are the correct size for easy play use.
GITGArtwork: I have been working with the artist to be sure the custom cards will be ready when the manufacturer gets to our project. They will be running these custom cards after the main print run is finished and shipping them all together.
--->IMPORTANT<--- If you see a message titled "Masterminds: Heist Society - ATTENTION Picture Issue". Please take a moment when you can to review this email. It will be coming from "[email protected]". We only have a few issues, but I would like to have all card related issues finished before March as that is when I expect the factory to go to print. (I don't have a solid date yet.)
Odds-&-Ends: Many of you have posted or sent in some GREAT suggestions for an expansion to the game - from adding a Crime-Unit/INTERPOL player -TO- adding heist related bonus cards that offer minor effects during gameplay -TO- modifiable Heists. WE LOVE IT - Keep these suggestions coming!!
Until next time remember... Be Good, or be good at it !!
