[[The disembodied head of Abraham Lincoln wears a top hat and monocle.]]

Lincoln: I say, old chap, I think the most undignified way to die would be to be robbed and murdered by lower-class hooligans.

[[The disembodied head of George Washington wears an identical top hat and monocle.]]

Washington: Oh, I quite agree. That would certainly be a most unfashionable way to meet one’s demise.

Lincoln: I rather think I’d prefer to be attacked by some sort of poisoned razor bees to be stung, poisoned, and lacerated to death than to be snuffed by a common poor person.

Washington: Oh certainly, certainly. Savage and gruesome deaths are very in these days You’d surely be the talk of the town for a few days after something like that.

[[The disembodied head of John Wilkes Booth holds a gun on both of them.]]

Booth: All right, guys, I get it. You’d be very ashamed to be robbed and murdered by a poor person like me. Great. Don’t care. Still going to rob and murder you both.

[[Booth now wears both top hats and both monocles.]]

Booth: Aw, yeah, I’m the cock of the walk!

New ways to get Bolted!

July 24, 2026 by David Malki !

In addition to buying things directly from me, the normal way, my game Bolted! is also now available on Amazon dot com.

On that famous website, you can also get the Creature-Crafting Magnets Set, which is made of the same artwork from the game, but is just a weird little trinket (not a playable game).

My kiddo made the elaborate version below to show off just how many magnets you get in the set (it’s 150 pieces in all — this isn’t even all of them).

Also now on Amazon is my set of Multi-Purpose Greeting Cards — a full dozen cards with envelopes in a fancy, unbranded, foil-stamped box!

Event alert!

I’ll also be showing off Bolted! at Greenwood Games, an event in Seattle this Saturday:

Greenwood Games is a free, all-ages community game event that invites players to spend the afternoon walking Greenwood Avenue from 65th to 80th, collecting clues, cracking puzzles, and discovering games made right here in Washington.

Think of it as Pride Hop, ArtWalk, and the Gumshoe all rolled into one, except the whole thing is built around games and puzzles.

Local game designers will be set up at different places along Greenwood Avenue in Phinney Ridge (near Ballard). My specific spot will be the “Holy Mountain Phinney Ridge Taproom”. All the information about all the different games & venues is on the website!

(If you’re in Seattle generally but not free tomorrow, Bolted! is also stocked at Blue Highway Games in Queen Anne.)

Next week, I’ll be at Gen Con! I personally will be hanging with my buddy Sam Logan at BFE Webcomics, booth #1217… but I have it on good authority that copies of Bolted! will be available at the CRWN Studios booth, #2549.

Visit one booth! Then the other! The order…is up to you.
