[[The disembodied head of Abraham Lincoln wears a top hat and monocle.]]

Lincoln: I say, old chap, I think the most undignified way to die would be to be robbed and murdered by lower-class hooligans.

[[The disembodied head of George Washington wears an identical top hat and monocle.]]

Washington: Oh, I quite agree. That would certainly be a most unfashionable way to meet one’s demise.

Lincoln: I rather think I’d prefer to be attacked by some sort of poisoned razor bees to be stung, poisoned, and lacerated to death than to be snuffed by a common poor person.

Washington: Oh certainly, certainly. Savage and gruesome deaths are very in these days You’d surely be the talk of the town for a few days after something like that.

[[The disembodied head of John Wilkes Booth holds a gun on both of them.]]

Booth: All right, guys, I get it. You’d be very ashamed to be robbed and murdered by a poor person like me. Great. Don’t care. Still going to rob and murder you both.

[[Booth now wears both top hats and both monocles.]]

Booth: Aw, yeah, I’m the cock of the walk!

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!
