Katie: Okay, c’mon, sample ballot page eight: Propositions. Shall the state chapter be amended and ordinance adopted to fund a bond measure allocated for infrastructural repairs?

Katie: Fiscal impact: State costs of $8 billion over five years. Are you GETTING this?!

Katie: Oh, Jules, there’s just so much for you to remember! And we haven’t even looked at Justice appointments.
Father: Katie, honey, you’re being very silly. Jules is a turtle. / The polls close in an hour. At a dead sprint he’d barely make it to the kitchen.

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!
