TORVALD: So how’s it going with you and Ben?
ANGIE: Oh, I don’t know. We’re taking a break, I guess.
[[The little girl holding ANGIE’s hand has nothing to say.]]

TORVALD: Hate to say it, but maybe it’s for the best.
ANGIE: Yeah.

TORVALD: So, Angie…Do you want to…grab some coffee or something?
ANGIE: …Sure. Why not.

CAPTION: But Ben and Angie are still linked telepathically:

Bolted! Shipping is UNDERWAY

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!
