Guard: HALT! None shall pass! To cross this bridge, you must answer my set of seventeen riddles.

[[The travelers seem bemused.]]
Guard: If you get more than five of them right, you earn the chance to try the remainder a second time.
Guard: If you get eight or more right in a row, that’s a straight, and the total number that must be answered correctly drops from seventeen to sixteen.

Guard: This essentially gives you one free bonus point. You may use it to pass on any riddle or take back one incorrect answer.
Guard: This allows you to retry the incorrect riddle, and if you are correct, the bonus persists.

[[A banner with the text “AND SO” appears at the top of the page. It is now dark.]]
Guard: …select a topical subgroup. Or, you may waive this choice, and earn a handicap of one-half point per triad of riddles.
Guard: Any questions on subgroups?

[[The view turns back to the travelers, who are now skeletons, long dead.]]

[[The guard squints his eyes in an expression of satisfaction.]]
Guard: None shall pass

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!
