BRUMSWORTH: Sorry I’m late! Did I miss anything interesting?
SPADWICK: It was WILD! Gobbler got TOSSED!

BRUMSWORTH: Frankly, it’s amazing that a turkey has successfully played in the major leagues for THIS long.
SPADWICK: Oh, for sure. Dude was DUE for a misstep.
SPADWICK: I’VE never been clear on whether he even comprehends the RULES.

[[We see the moment the umpire ejects a turkey wearing a baseball jersey and ill-fitting cap.]]

SPADWICK: He just couldn’t keep it TOGETHER today. UMP had to EJECT him…CROWD was going NUTS…
SPADWICK: Clip is going viral for SURE.

BRUMSWORTH: Guess that’s what happens when all you can hit are FOWL BALLS, ha ha!
SPADWICK: That wasn’t even IT! He TRYPTOPHAN!

there's nothing in the rules that says a turkey can't play baseball! there is, however, an certain expectation of sportsmanlike conduct which Gobbler has FAILED to UPHOLD

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!
