[[Two MEN sit at a table. One holds a glass, one holds a cigar.]]

MAN 1: Listen to this, on a bottle of Dole pineapple juice: “One of many healthy choices from Pepsico.”
MAN 1: Man, I thought Dole was a big, happy pineapple-plantation kind of place! Not some corporate subsidiary of the evil Frito-Lay Empire!
MAN 2: Hey, I work for Pepsico! It’s actually a really good company. They provide great benefits for employees.
MAN 1: R-really? Oh, I didn’t mean –

MAN 1: D-do you really work for Pepsi?
MAN 2: Ha ha ha! No way, man!
MAN 2: But you sure were quick to change your tune when you thought it might offend me!

MAN 1: Acutally, for a second there I thought I was in the fast lane to free juice.
MAN 2: Sorry, dude, better stick to the traditional method. Writin’ angry letters claimin’ you found pubes in the O. J.

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!
