The Establishment has reached its goal
over 2 years ago – Sat, Nov 04, 2023 at 08:43:40 PM

We did it! You all helped me reach my goal of $7,000! 

With 10 days to go, we can keep building The Establishment. I’ve decided to add stretch goals to encourage more backers. A few days ago, I asked you which stretch goals you wanted to come to the campaign. Playmats was the number one answer, followed by more storylines, premium cards, and finally more factions. The poll is still open if you'd like to vote.

Keep your eyes on the project in the next few days for more information about the stretch goals.

Thank you all for sharing information about The Establishment and for backing the game!

90% there
over 2 years ago – Thu, Nov 02, 2023 at 08:46:59 AM

Hi folks!
We're 90% of the way there and have just under two weeks to finish out the funding goal.  As we get closer, I've been considering some stretch goals. If we can hit $7,000 and possibly beyond, I will have the funding to add some more things to the game for everyone.

Check out the stretch goals poll to have your voice heard on what types of additions you'd like to get in the game. 

I also wanted to add that we have one Faction Leader level free up. If you'd like to update your pledge so you can be added into the game, now is your chance before it sells out again. The storyteller level that was just added also has slots available. This would be a great time to back the game, or increase your pledge if you want to add your own style into the game for everyone.

I also wanted to thank everyone who has been sharing, talking about it, and sending the campaign along. I wouldn't be able to do it without you all. Thank you.

New pledge level available
over 2 years ago – Sun, Oct 29, 2023 at 03:03:46 PM

Hi All,
We are very close to our goal, but need about $1,000 to make The Establishment a reality. When we hit 100 backers, I made an offer that 10 random backers were going to be able to name something in the game.  People really liked this idea, so I decided to make it a level.

A new "Storyteller" pledge level has been added. For $100, you can rename a person, place or event that appears in the storyline cards. It's a great way to immortalize yourself or someone you care about or maybe a favorite place.

Please check out the Storyteller level to help us reach that 1k goal. I can't wait to hear all the great things you guys want to add into the game!

Thanks,
Manda

We hit 100!

Hey folks,
Time to celebrate! We hit 100 backers for our project. That brings us really close to our funding goal. We're well over 75% of the way there.


Please keep sharing with friends and family. Let your gaming groups know that we need just a few more backers to reach our funding goal.

Faction Leader and Faction Recruit are sold out!
over 2 years ago – Sun, Oct 22, 2023 at 05:54:23 PM

We have sold out of all our upper pledge levels for Faction Leaders and Faction Recruits. That means 10 lucky backers are going to be added to the game!

We've also hit the $5,000 mark in just two days. We still have quite a bit to go. At the $30 mark, we will need about 65 more backers. Please continue to share the game and talk to your friends about backing it. We need to reach the $7,000 goal in order for it to fund and be successful. Every game backed will help.

Thank you!
