It's time for the July Preview!

Woah! Can you believe it's already time for the July Preview?! I can't wait to show you what we have coming your way. But first, before I do, I gotta update you on the news! Our weekly news has been a nice tool for communicating our progress so I think I'll keep updating you weekly on it. 



We got a lot done this weekend! We started the day by cleaning up the hallway and making room for a whole bunch of boxes. But before we moved them to the hallway we had to open each one up and label them. I bet you can't spot the difference between Jason's handwriting and mine. I know I sure can't.... Inside the boxes were Wallets and Rules for a handful of games. There was Antinomy, Skulls of Sedlec, Ragemore, Avignon, Smoke & Mirrors just to name a few.



Next on our agenda was to work on BGOTMC shipments. It's important for us to spend some time every week catching up on the backlog. I have a feeling in the near future we will be past this hump and be on our way towards a more organized Button Shy. We started our shipments with the October packages. There were still a few that needed to go out so we finished those up, so if you were waiting on that keep your eyes peeled for a shipping notice in your inbox! The delayed March, April and Starter Kits headed out too, with a few others still working their way out. 



After finishing up the Octobers we shifter focus to April. There were also only a handful of these that needed to go out. After just a few minutes of searching for the components, Jason and I quickly assembled them and they were ready to be labeled and shipped.



Now it was time to pair starter kits with any April's for new members. Again, there were only a handful that needed to be done but it felt very nice to check that off our to do list. So, any of you waiting on October and April should be receiving your BGOTMC packages soon!



Before we wrapped up the day, (and before I wrap up the Button Shy News!) we made another drive out just to look at the Nissan S-Cargo. Both Jason and I can't get this goofy little car out of our minds. I mean, it's tiny like a Wallet game and easy to lose in a parking lot... like a Wallet game! Just for scale here it is next to my car. It's even the same color! Maybe since Jason is the big brother he can drive my big Outback and I'll get the tiny S-Cargo.



Now let's talk about the July Preview!



$5 - More Lightyear! An exciting element of this month's package is more spare parts for your ship. Spare parts are always fun upgrades. Hyper Thrusters speak for themselves, but what will the AI computer do?


All you well wishers in the $10 level will receive Wishing Well!

This is a 2 player game by Matias Paredes where players will roll a die and try to quickly throw down their cards with the same amount of coins that match the die face. Speed matters when you are competing for the coins in the Wishing Well. Art by Marty Cobb.

$20 - The Count of the Nine Estates

If you've seen our previous release (or the popular print and play) for Count of Nine, this will look and sound familiar. But this all new 18 card version updates the artwork and doubles the size of the game. With some great new mechanics, we're excited to bring the PNP classic by Scott Czysz to our wallet line. 


More to come as we go!




It's time for the July Preview!

Hi guys, I'm getting a bit sad here with my 26USD a month international Patreon level. I've just received this package including wishing well even though I back at the highest level. Since this is only the second package I receive since April that just makes it even more sad. (nothing received for May/June. Hope you guys can address this quickly, I'm still supporting you guys because I understand your a small company and it's a bit of a challenge but your overpromising on what can be delivered and it's leading to negative as opposed to positive consumer experiences :( Hopefully you can get in touch with me 1 on 1 to discuss what's been going wrong and how it's going to be addressed.

Will you also invlude rules fot the 9 card version? That way it'll be like 2 games instead of the 18 card version. Forgive my ignorance, if this isn't possible. I have played it at all, just thinkg aloud

it took me a while to think of a small quote that fit - george

Count of Nine is an amazing game for 9 cards. I've been playing it for some time. Not sure if I'm happy or sad to see it exploded to 18 cards. It's got some pretty creative mechanics to make those 9 cards work as a much larger deck.

Mark Fadden

Just had a look at Count of the Nine and looks great. Will it still be in the pen and ink art style? How many players?

Andrew

Convenient graphic design element! "BUT FIRST THE NEWS" = 18 characters = 18 cards!

ForestNinja

Is any of this content going to make it onto the PNP dropbox?

Rich Steed

You're not the only one still missing those

Marcel de Jong

It will be eventually yes. After we get through everything here.

Button Shy

Thanks for the tip!

Button Shy

Not yet. We’ll post asking what you want later. :)

Here’s one at BoardGameGeek. We don’t have anything on our site because it was originally released in a package here and never made it for sale. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/247778/count-nine

I'm in the UK and still haven't received the March/April/Starter Kit, but did the October one. Just wanted to check it hasn't been missed! EDIT: Just to add, I'm a $20 international member.

Oscar Siles

I looked but could not find any info about your previous popular Count of Nine game. Can you send me to the correct page? Thanks.

Len Lindsay

I'm new to this game of the month thing ... it would be really helpful if you always ended your messages here with a link to your website so we could go look at whatever it is you were talking about:) Your wallet games are a great idea and I just got Sprawlopolis. Should be fun expanding my collection! Thanks!

Len Lindsay

$20 members usually say what we want right? Regardless I want the Count of Nine Estates.

Badger

I assume Count of the Nine Estates will also be on the web site, and we'll be told when it's available for purchase there?
