I WENT TO A CONVENTION TO ASK WINSLOW OGLETHORPE TO SIGN THIS NEEDLEPOINT I MADE OF HIM…
SIR WINSLOW OGLETHORPE? THE WORLD’S MOST HANDSOME ACTOR?
THE SAME.
BUT HE WANTED FIFTY BUCKS! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

FIFTY BUCKS JUST TO SIGN HIS NAME!
THAT’S OUTRAGEOUS! I’LL SIGN HIS NAME FOR TWENTY-FIVE!
HECK, I’LL SIGN ANY NAME YOU LIKE!
BUT YOU’RE NOT WINSLOW OGLETHORPE.

SO? THE SIGNATURE ITSELF IS IMMATERIAL. I COULD TAKE THE NEEDLEPOINT AND TELL YOU I GOT OGLETHORPE TO SIGN IT. YOU’D NEVER KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
AND NEITHER WOULD ANYONE WHO SAW IT FRAMED ON YOUR WALL!
IT’S NOT LIKE HIS PEN HAS SPECIAL INK THAT HEALS THE SICK. IT’S JUST A SHARPIE.

ALL YOU’D HAVE TO DO IS, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, LIE AND SAY IT’S THE REAL SIGNATURE. EVENTUALLY YOU’D PROBABLY EVEN START BELIEVING THAT IT WAS!
I’M NOT SURE I WANT TO SAVE TWENTY-FIVE BUCKS THAT BADLY.
FINE I’LL DO IT FOR FREE

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!

@davidmalki.com My game arrived today!! It looks gorgeous 🙂 Hope you are well 🙂

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!
