Latest Updates from Our Project:

Backer Question#5 - WHAT DO THE BACKERS WANT? Codenames and types of games...?
over 3 years ago – Wed, Nov 23, 2022 at 12:42:00 AM

We have two more questions for Backers this week...!!

The TALENT card for this week's question WILL be included in every game box.  

Let us know your answers for both (5a) and (5b):

FIRST - (5a):  Tell us a CodeName  that you would love to see in the game.  We will choose a name at random from the submissions and our artist will design a Talent card that will go into the base game.  (Note: We will not accept names that are offensive.).

SECOND - (5b):  Also let us know what style of games that you like to play?  We wanted to see what style of games our Backer's play, and to use this feedback to help in the design of our next mid-weight game which is very early in development.  

>>   So do you prefer games that are heavy strategy with little randomness, more randomness and lite strategic choice, or do you prefer a more balanced game that has equal-ish amounts of the two?

>>   Do you like rolling dice?  -And if so do you like lots of dice or just a few when you have to roll.

>>   How do you feel about minis?

>>   --And feel free to let us know anything else you want to share about the games you like !!

Question #4 Results: Well played, Masterminds....

Question #4 Results:   Way to work the system...  #respect 

You all were thinking one step ahead !!  I like that.  

For 4A  (Pen vs Pin)- The backers came in loud with the Diamond PIN winning it.   --As for 4B though, there was a perfect split.  SO in order to keep both sides happy on this question, we are going to do BOTH for the backers that pledge during the campaign -  That's right, you'll get the Operatives & the Options (all 4 cards) !!   

  >>  And not to worry, Question #5 will be up later this evening (EST).

Backer Question#4 - WHAT DO THE BACKERS WANT? Choices, Choices ... two questions for this week!!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Nov 17, 2022 at 09:09:47 AM

This week we have TWO questions for you !!   

Two choices for this week - What say you?

THESE bonuses are only available to Backers that selected a physical reward DURING the campaign SPECIALIST or higher (Including Retailers).  Late backers will not receive these bonuses (It's our way of saying thank you for supporting us).  These bonuses will not affect the game cost or your shipping cost.

Let us know your answers for both (4a) and (4b):

FIRST - (4a):  Let us know if you would prefer an exclusive Executive PEN from the Society with rose gold colored accents, or would like a Diamond logo PIN (1 in by 1 in acrylic).  Either choice will show those "in-the-know" that you are a well connected member of the Society.  

SECOND - (4b):  Also let us know if you would prefer to have two new Operatives [Sweets and Killswitch] to add to your pool of Talent cards, or if you would prefer to have two new PREP cards to help you or hinder your opponent.   Details below>> 

Introducing Sweets and Killswitch

OPERATIVES  >> Introducing Sweets and Killswitch.  These two highly skilled individuals are are a bonus to any team, and with you running the show they are sure that a payday is right around the corner.  Keep in mind that Sweets feels naked without some sort of gear to leverage, while Killswitch feels smothered by others and only works alone.  

Options - Because sometimes plan B is the better way...

OPTIONS  >>  Add two more PREP cards to you deck of tricks with these two options.  "The Return of..." allows you to pull a recruit out of retirement (the discard pile) when the talent you need isn't available.  And "Followed..." allows you to put-the-squeeze on an opponent - let them know that you're always watching.

So Backers, what do YOU want ??? 

Backer Question#3 - WHAT DO THE BACKERS WANT? -- What's your favorite Heist movie? (We're adding it to the game)

We are half way to goal!!  Big THANKS to everyone that has backed the project so far.  

Today's question #3 will be coming up in a few hours. (I volunteer on election day - I hope everyone in the US voted.)   That also means that If you haven't had a chance to answer either of the previous questions, you can still look in the updates and leave your thoughts.  I'll drop the third question later today.

In the meantime, have a look at the new video ad and feel free to leave your thoughts.   -Enjoy, James
