[[Two men are talking. They lean in close to talk to one another, very excited.]]
Alex: Great to meet ya!
Bob: Likewise! Likewise!
Alex: I’m sure we’re gonna be the best of friends!
Bob: Looking forward to it! Getting to know one another!

Alex: Getting close! Close like a BROTHER!
Bob: Sure! Telling SECRETS! Secrets are what bond men together!

Alex: MEN or ANYONE! You can whisper a secret into a TEACUP!
Bob: SURE! Do the ol’ Texas teacup shifty-whisper! Wait all day to hear a secret BACK! The TRADING of secrets is the glue that makes the bonding!

Alex: The secret comes back like a zephyr out of Hades! “I’m a GHOST, trapped in a teacup!” Now you gotta make a CHOICE! Did you bond with a TEACUP or with a GHOST!
Alex: Choose carefully! This decision MAY be your LAST! It’s not a THREAT but more a STATISTICAL FACT! When you start hearing GHOST WHISPERS in TEACUPS, you MIGHT have had a stroke!

[[Two women stand nearby, watching the men.]]
Bob: WOW! Teacup ghosts are my SECOND favorite discussion topic! An’ number ONE is the likelihood of my having had a stroke! I guess we really WERE born to be best chums forever!!
Bystander: I don’t know whether to ENVY male friendships or put them in a ZOO

New ways to get Bolted!

In addition to buying things directly from me, the normal way, my game Bolted! is also now available on Amazon dot com.

On that famous website, you can also get the Creature-Crafting Magnets Set, which is made of the same artwork from the game, but is just a weird little trinket (not a playable game).

My kiddo made the elaborate version below to show off just how many magnets you get in the set (it’s 150 pieces in all — this isn’t even all of them).

Also now on Amazon is my set of Multi-Purpose Greeting Cards — a full dozen cards with envelopes in a fancy, unbranded, foil-stamped box!

Event alert!

I’ll also be showing off Bolted! at Greenwood Games, an event in Seattle this Saturday:

Greenwood Games is a free, all-ages community game event that invites players to spend the afternoon walking Greenwood Avenue from 65th to 80th, collecting clues, cracking puzzles, and discovering games made right here in Washington.

Think of it as Pride Hop, ArtWalk, and the Gumshoe all rolled into one,  except the whole thing is built around games and puzzles.​

Local game designers will be set up at different places along Greenwood Avenue in Phinney Ridge (near Ballard). My specific spot will be the “Holy Mountain Phinney Ridge Taproom”. All the information about all the different games & venues is on the website!

(If you’re in Seattle generally but not free tomorrow, Bolted! is also stocked at Blue Highway Games in Queen Anne.)

Next week, I’ll be at Gen Con! I personally will be hanging with my buddy Sam Logan at BFE Webcomics, booth #1217… but I have it on good authority that copies of Bolted! will be available at the CRWN Studios booth, #2549.

Visit one booth! Then the other! The order…is up to you.
