The Board Game Road Trip Is Back In Pennsylvania

Hello!

It’s time for the next edition of the Board Game Road Trip, but FIRST! A quick update on March’s shipments. 

If you were a Patron before 3/1/16, you will be receiving a March package very soon. The first will be shipping out Saturday morning, and the last will be shipping out by Monday / Tuesday. We had a little snafu with one of our printers and they had to reprint a few things. Sorry for any delays, but we think you’ll enjoy this month’s delivery! The...

February Package SPOILER!

(Above photo taken from Devious Devices Twitter. Thanks guys!) 

Hello friends! As usual, we have a lot of awesome things going this week. Lots of planning for the monthly Kickstarters and Board Game of the Month Club Packages as well as prepping for Unpub and the dreaded day job. But it’s still the weekend so I’m not even thinking about that. :)

We also have Pickpockets in its last week on Kickstarter and we are working on a Wallet Game design contest. It hasn't b...

March Wallet Game Discount Details

NOTE: We were previously sending these as messages, but we are going to try it as an update and see how it works. The Patreon message system archival is a little funky. Also, this way any questions can be answered and everyone can see it. Any issues, please let me know!

February package update & Pickpockets PNP!

Hello everyone!

Just a quick update here with 2 things of note.

February Packages

I have the Postcards here and expect all other parts to be here by Monday, which means packages will start going out on Tuesday. So expect packages to start arriving next week. I also have a good amount of the March rewards on their way, so March will hopefully go out closer to mid-month. We’re still getting the hang of the timing of all of this.

The Board Game Road Trip Heads To Texas

Hey everyone and welcome to our new supporters! 

This past week or so has been wild. All of the February components are with the printers and should be here in the next 2 weeks. Most of March is also printing now too since we were ahead of the game. :)

Today's update is all about the the next installment of our Board Game Road Trip. Stick around until the end for a new PNP and podcast.

SPOILER ALERT - We're talking about January packages. Plus Ninja PNP!

Hey everyone! It's a busy week here and we have a few things left to send your way. Next time you hear from us will probably next week after we launch our Ninja Kickstarter Campaign on Tuesday, along with the next stage of the Board Game Road Trip with Benny Sperling in Texas.

QUICK QUESTION: Are updates once / twice a week too much for you? Just let us know! We're trying to find a groove here. 

So.... speaking of Ninjas, we have the PNP ready for you to check out. &n...

Board Game Road Trip - Game Version 001 & 002

This is the start of the Board Game Road Trip... a little game experiment where we start a game here at Button Shy and then visit designers, developers and playtesters across the county to see what they can add to, take away, fix, or redo on the game. We want to see where it is (if it ever ends) and archive every step of the development.

There are only a few requirements:

-It must play 2-4 (more or less are welcome on top of this)

-It must fit in a small box

-Any componen...

We are going on a Board Game Design Road Trip!

Hello friends!

Since we talked last, we broke our $500 milestone goal and now we are starting up the Board Game Road Trip. What does this mean? Well here we go.

BOARD GAME ROAD TRIP

The Board Game Road Trip is going to be awesome. We’re starting a design at Button Shy. Ben has a solid base, and I’ll be putting a little thematic spin on it. We’re keeping it simple because when were done, we’re passing the torch onto another designer. How? Well, Ben will be tra...

January Packages and more!

Hey everyone! Happy new year! It was a rough one here with the last week of 2015 being completely lost due to a variety of illnesses in our house, but we’re back on track and ready to start the year over... all over again. :)

Time for some updates:

THE JANUARY PACKAGES

Anyone who pledged at $5+ in December will be receiving a package in the mail this month. Everything has been ordered and should be here in NJ by the 15th. Packages will go out the following Tuesday ...

Avignon again, but now with full art. Plus we've (sort of) unlocked bonus content!

We shared the Avignon print and play last week, but now we have it with full art! What is full art though? I should clarify. Full art is not final art. It's just something that is a lot closer to the final version than what you've seen before. 

Here are some of the drastic changes from the No Art version to the Full Art version, as well as some things that will still be changing in the Full Art version.

State of the Button - December 2015

Hey everyone! This is our first formal update here and I just wanted to thank you all for jumping on here early. I can tell you that we have a lot of fun things planned, and even more that are not yet planned. We're working on some great content for each of the packages.

Some you I know personally and others, I recognize many of your names from previous projects, but I don't know how much you know about Button Shy. I stress the words small and DIY (do-it-yourself), as we don't do things by...
