Hello Strikers,

I hope you all got a good look at the unboxing video!

I had some questions about the game and I wanted to share a more in-depth look at the game. So I recorded a video that will take a look at all the different components and the board and some of the art.

Please go and give a thumbs up!

HERE

It is a bit long, but if you want to see everything in the game than you can watch it.

FINAL RULES HERE

I hope you enjoy this and let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Pre Production Copy
over 5 years ago – Tue, Dec 11, 2018 at 12:54:18 AM

 Hello Strikers,

Pre Production Copy arrived today. Thank you for bringing this game to life!

We do have a few issues that we need to address. First of all, I want to say that the art and the game look fantastic. The board and the box are great thickness and have a wonderful look and feel to them.

The minis are great as well. The color on the cards looks great. The Disco meeples are wonderful and everything there is really nice. So overall we are very pleased with the work.

The cardboard crate is an issue and will have to be reworked so it is better. I am not happy with it and I can not let the game go out to you folks with the crate in its current state. That was the only issue on the punch boards. all the other overlays and tokens are wonderful and have a great look and feel to them.

I have already communicated with the production facility about the crate. We will get that fixed. 

So what does this do to the timeline? Well, there is no doubt it will add some time to the delivery. If the crate can be reworked in a week or so then the added will be pretty minimal. At the end of December, we will be a month past the estimated delivery. However, if I shipped the game with the current crate you folks would want to tar and feather me. So, to ensure you folks get the best product we can make it will take a bit longer but in the end, it is worth the few extra weeks to get you the best product.

I will take some photos of the stuff this week and post those up. I will also update with my communication with the production facility. I am so very excited and happy with what we do have. With as big as this game is with the expansions to only have one thing to address is really very awesome!

Thank you, everyone, for your continued support!

Below if is the unboxing video of the PPC. Sorry for banging the table a bit. More to come at the end of the week!

 Thank you,

Final Rules! Final Art!
over 5 years ago – Sun, Oct 21, 2018 at 09:14:02 PM

 Hello Strikers!

I am going to say that this is the largest game that I have ever worked on and Hooch was a pretty big game! 

There are over 400 cards in Vinyl with all of the expansions and exclusives!

Box Art

So, the game box was designed to fit everything in the box. All of the expansions will fit in the base game box. There is a plastic insert that neatly holds everything. 

Let's take a look at some of the final art for the game! The Player Boards for the base game now have all the actions on the game board printed on the player board for easy reference.

 In the final Album art across the game, you will see lots of backer submitted photos. While I could not use all of the photos that were submitted, it was really cool to get to add as much as we could.

Thank you so much for sending in your photos for the albums! This makes this game truly unique. 

 Top Shelf Art

 Here is a look at the rules

 Main Board for 1 to 3 players!

This is just some of the art. Each of the expansions has a tuck box to go with it. We are looking forward to the Preproduction copy of the game making it to BGG. We will be there with this game and with our very next Kickstarter coming in 2019.

Winterborne coming 2019

 Here is some concept art for the game. We will be posting much more information about the game in the coming weeks! This game was designed by Brian Shure (Cold Water Crown) and is such a great game. When I first played this game I knew I had to publish this game. The gameplay is smooth and the theme is embedded into the mechanics. This makes the overall game experience different from other games on the market and so much fun to dig through the layers of strategy!

 Thank you so very much for all you folks do to help us publish and produce quality games!

Art Update and Disco Meeple
over 5 years ago – Sun, Sep 23, 2018 at 11:11:47 PM

 Hello Strikers,

Album Art Update!

Masters of Metal

 British Invasion

 The Disco Meeple

So here is the long and short of it. We had an issue with the Disco Meeple and this took some time to work out with the manufacturer. But I finally got correct samples in and they look great.

 So now that Meeple issue is handled they will go into production. 

Project Delayed.

Due to the Meeple and having to change representatives with the printer this has delayed the project. We will not hit the November shipping, however, we should be set to go in December. I will keep you updated as we get the information.

I hope to have the PPC very soon.

Thank you for your continued support!

Art Update and Printing
over 5 years ago – Mon, Aug 20, 2018 at 01:59:07 AM

Hello Strikers,

MINIS APPROVED!

I got the minis this week! They look fabulous. 

 I am excited to share the pictures with you! The raised lettering looks wonderful and the detail is super high.

Also, Disco Wooden Meeple should be completed this week. This is great as now we can move forward to the next step of submitting all the art files. All of the Magazine Card art is completed. The Album cards are completed as well and we are in the final stages of the album art. This stage has taken a bit as we have to size all of the album art and do it up for publication. 

Our printer is set to receive our art files the first week of September. We will go through the approval process with them which should take 10 to 14 days. Then we will move on to printing the game. After this is the assembly and packing.

 CARD ART!

 GAME BOARD!

 There are one or two adjustments to be made some of the pieces but this is super close to final. The only things that may change are some colors depending on how they look once we get the PPC!

Just a few more weeks and all the album art will be completed as well and we will share that with you when it is ready! Eric is also touching up the rules and they should be ready to view in the next update.

If you have not completed Backer Kit you need to go and do that. Everything will be locked down for good at the end of the month. This includes late pledges and add-ons.

You will still be able to change your address until the middle of October or so. After that, you will need to contact us in order to do that. 

Thank you so very much!
