Hey everyone, I just wanted to take a break from the absolute madness here and say hello. With Tussie Mussie on Kickstarter last week, our website orders have been wild, with so many orders coming and going. Kickstarter stuff is heading out too, and we just wrapped the last of the March BGOTMC packages. It's been so busy that I haven't had a second to check in here. So hi everyone! And hello to new patrons too! Hope all is well with you. :)
The next package to leave here is the April package, which is done and heading out right now. Everyone that was a subscriber before 4/1 will be receiving it. If you subscribed after, yours should be following soon after. We are starting to assemble most of May as soon as these head out the door. (Note: if you are a $20 patron, keep an eye for the next update asking for your game choice).
We're always working on ways to get caught up to the current month, but we aren't quite there yet due to the number of moving parts that need to align to get a specific BGOTMC package out the door. We're hoping to tighten the window, but I can assure you that even though they are delayed, they are always coming. (For example, May is here, just waiting on one little rules sheet to arrive). But you will always get your packages. We're shipping out packages every month, it's just that getting closer to the current month is tough. We're making changes to reduce the number of moving parts involved in each package, but those changes don't take effect for a few more months. I just want everyone to know that it's on our minds every single day, and in discussion every day too.
Something that's much easier to get out the door is the PNP for Penny Rails! If you've been itching to try the game, or looking for a 2P game for this weekend, check it out. It's in the dropbox - link here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/important-links-17210335 There are some other recent goodies in there too, if you want to dig around a bit.
Expansion and money, they go hand in hand. The great railways are expanding west which means there are fortunes to be made! Get ready to ride the rails as we wheel and deal shares of the Lincoln, Jefferson, and Roosevelt lines. If we play our cards right all the way from New York to St. Louis, we'll become rail barons overnight. Rest assured folks, this is the real McCoy!
In Penny Rails, players are stock holders in expanding rail lines reaching across the US.
Using only 18 cards and some loose change, you can relive the excitement of westward expansion right on your tabletop. Every turn you’ll get a chance to gain stocks or lay cards to build routes and increase your stock value! Each move counts as players vie for shares of the most profitable lines. When the first train pulls into the rail yard of St. Louis the player with the most profits wins. Will it be you?

There's so much more going on and so much to talk about, but I'm racing the clock today. I'll be back next week with some stuff to give away (I found a few boxes of small, non-Button Shy games, so we'll offer them up to you - International patrons as well!)
Talk to you soon!
