[[TEDDICUS and BILLOCLES hang out.]]

TEDDICUS: Losing weight is burning calories, right?  You work out to generate HEAT?  I decided I’d skip the middleman!  Now I only eat food that’s ALREADY HOT!  So it’s got LESS FAR to GO!

BILLOCLES:  I’m not sure that’s actually how calories work?

TEDDICUS: OH! You’re NOT SURE? WELL then!  I AM sure, so guess who wins?

TEDDICUS: See, YOUR problem is you’re always worried you MIGHT BE WRONG.  If you’re always trying to DISPROVE things and poke holes in logic and dismiss incomplete evidence, you’ll SUCCEED–but you’ll never be satisfied!

TEDDICUS: You’ll just pick an arbitrary point where you’re satisfied for the time being–until some NEW information comes along to capsize the whole boat!  What a miserable life!  Scrabbling for scraps of validation!

TEDDICUS: My way of thinking is much simpler.  I’m just right all the time.  No mess, no fuss!  Never have to wonder, never have to worry!  It’s very liberating.

BILLOCLES: But what if you’re…wrong?

TEDDICUS: Seriously, dude, you need to seek therapy because there is that OBSESSION again.

Bolted! Shipping is UNDERWAY

April 4, 2026 by David Malki !

Bolted! games have been shipping to backers over the last couple of weeks! The non-US orders are (mostly) done and some folks have been reporting receiving them already!

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
