New Games through Button Shy Direct! Here’s all of the details.

Coming out of the fiery ashes of the board game tariffs is Button Shy Direct - our timed preorder program. We have launched the first games today (July 1, 2025). They'll be available at discounted prices until July 15, 2025 (or they sell out) and they’ll be here and ready to ship to you in August 2025. Check below for what will (and more importantly WON’T) be in future club packages.

So what is it? Basically the tariffs caused us to switch card printers and the US printer takes a lot longer than the Chinese printer. So we ordered a bunch of games ahead of time and are trying out something new.

The prices are low like a Kickstarter. Even less because we don’t have their fees to deal with. And it’s all live right now at our site!

The first important thing is the link:
https://buttonshygames.com/collections/button-shy-direct-games

What will (and will not) be included in future packages?

Supporters of levels including a wallet game ($18+):
Leaping Lions
with both the Aspirations and Prosperity expansions are offered as the featured wallet game in the June 2025 package. Converge: Bastions of Tradition with the Keepers of Order expansion will be offered as the Featured Wallet Game in a future BGotMC package.

Cuckoo Shuffle: Sharks & Frogs, Converge: Champions of Nature and Converge: Emissaries of Tomorrow will NOT be included in a future club package. If you want to receive these games you can purchase them from our website here:
https://buttonshygames.com/collections/button-shy-direct-games
You can use your July discount coupon if your total order is over $30.

Button Shy Supporter ($5) and Digital Only levels:
The links to the PNP files for Leaping Lions with both the Aspirations and Prosperity expansions have already been shared (download now as they expire today. The links to the PNP files for Converge: Bastions of Tradition with the Keepers of Order expansion will be shared here at Patreon.

The print and play files for Cuckoo Shuffle: Sharks & Frogs, Converge: Champions of Nature and Converge: Emissaries of Tomorrow will NOT be included in a future club package. The files will be available to purchase them from PNP Arcade when they are ready.

Any questions, just ask either in the comments here or on our Discord server.

Cuckoos love to hide and trick everyone! Get the animals in the right order to foil their plans! 

Race to get your animals in the right order to claim the trophy. You'll need to listen carefully and act quickly to beat the competition. 

The suns of Malvios are dying. Across the planet, survivors race to glean what hope for the future they can find in the failing light. Citizens of different skillsets converge to find the best path forward – and the team they’ll need to follow it.

The story and gameplay of Converge spans across several sets. Each one comes in their own wallet and includes 3 unique 6-card skillsets. All sets can be played individually as standalone games, or players can combine any 3 skillsets from multiple sets to create a new combination.

No Chinese New Year celebration is complete without the lion dance. In a popular variation of the dance—especially in Malaysia—the lion dancers perform gravity-defying jumps between poles of increasing heights to the rhythm of beating cymbals, gongs, and drums.

Stage the best lion dance to win! Build platforms for your dancers to leap across as they move along the stage. Fill your dance with exciting complicated maneuvers to earn the crowd’s approval.

There are so many more details on all of the game pages at our website.. Head over there for everything you need to know.

July 2025 Preview

Hey everyone, the months are flying by pretty quickly! We wanted to get the preview out to you so that you can see what is coming in July. If you were looking forward to Dionysia this is your month! Let's check it all out.

Dionysia (Featured Wallet Game)

2 Players

All of Athens has turned out for the Dionysia, a grand theatrical festival to honor the god Dionysus. Impress the crowds with your well-crafted drama to win the playwriting competition as well as the favor of the gods!

Draft and craft a better drama than your opponent to secure the favor of the gods at this year’s Dionysia. As you take a scene from the central stage and add it to your developing play, you’ll need to decide whether to start a new act (to a max of 3) or add it to the top/bottom of an existing act. Create specific scoring patterns of dramatic elements through careful arrangement of your scenes while taking advantage of powerful effects available through each act’s key (topmost) scene. After each play has 3 acts of 3 scenes each, players score each act based on its key scene and pattern. Whoever has the most points is favored by the gods and wins the playwriting competition!

Dionysia: Soliloquy

1 Player

Thespis has gained acclaim across Greece for being the first actor to step out from the chorus. Outperforming him is sure to please the gods.

This 6-card expansion enables solo play, pitting the player against the legendary tragedian Thespis. Work past this automated playwright’s creative interference to secure your theatrical legacy.

Dionysia: Muse of Tragedy

2 Players

Melpomene, the Greek Muse of tragedy, has come to the festival to bless the playwrights with inspiration!

This 6-card expansion introduces masks, which can be used as any element when scoring patterns.

Mysticana: Conjurer's Tome

1 Players

War threatens the realm and only a mighty conjurer could turn the tide of battle. Consult the ancient tomes and summon four powerful titans to save the realm!

Conjurer's Tome is a solo-only expansion to the Mysticana deck. Complete summoning circles, each of which contains two tomes whose unique requirements must be simultaneously satisfied, to summon powerful titans with unique abilities. Shifting tomes create new puzzles to solve every round. Summon four titans to win!

That’s everything for this month’s preview. We will be asking for your game choice later, so keep an eye out for that.

June 2025 Preview

Hey everyone, we have some exciting news. 

The tariffs are causing some funky delays here of up to a few months but just today we were able to make a swap that will allow us to get the June package out in July. Dionysia and Adventurous are with the US printer and taking their good old time, but the 90 day 30% tariff change allowed us to squeeze in two small orders with our China printer. Now anything can happen but it looks like we’ll have all of this here by mid July. Phew! 

So June is just about here so that means time for the preview! This month we are bringing you a game that came from our 18 Card Challenge. These are always really fun because we get to work with new designers and see really unique ideas. Anyway, let’s check out what’s coming in the June package. 

Leaping Lions (Featured Wallet Game)

2 Players

No Chinese New Year celebration is complete without the lion dance. In a popular variation of the dance—especially in Malaysia—the lion dancers perform gravity-defying jumps between poles of increasing heights to the rhythm of beating cymbals, gongs, and drums.

Stage the best lion dance to win! Build platforms for your dancers to leap across as they move along the stage. Fill your dance with exciting complicated maneuvers to earn the crowd’s approval.

Leaping Lions: Aspirations

1 Player

This 6-card solo expansion allows you to compete against an automated rival troupe. Push your performance to the utmost with advanced and expert options to become a master of the lion dance!

Leaping Lions: Prosperity

2 - 3 Players

Many lion dances feature large scrolls conveying wishes for good fortune to the audience.

This 6-card expansion introduces scrolls. Work these into your dance to earn immediate upgrades and score more points!

Mysticana: Unnatural Beasts

2 Players

The veil between realms has torn, unleashing unimaginable horrors. Two champions are called to kill or banish these monsters using primal energies. Show your strength and defeat the most beasts to secure your place in history.

Take turns attacking the rampaging beast to drive it back. Each beast’s strange nature requires unique strategies. Defeat three beasts before your opponent to win the day!

That’s everything for this month’s preview. We will be asking for your game choice later, so keep an eye out for that. Also coming June 1st is the new coupon code, so you won’t want to miss that!

May 2025 Package - Choose your game & PNPs - Plus some important tariff delay info

Hey everyone, hope you’re all enjoying the club! We have some tariff related delays causing this message and some of our packages to be pushed back, so let's talk about that first.

As you may or may not know the China tariffs on toys and games went from <1% to 10% in February, 20% in March. 145% in April and 30% in May. Anything over 10% is pretty detrimental, and something like 145% means an end to this entire industry as we know it. Thankfully we only print cards in China, so we've moved that back to a US printer that we've used many times before (if you have Tussie Mussie, they are from the US printer), but they are more expensive and take a lot longer to print.

The May package is coming from the original printer but was held for the tariffs. It's arriving here in mid June.

The June and July packages are the first from the US printer and will probably both arrive here in August.

We're taking some measures now to get ahead on the other packages and get this back to normal, but because of that tariff volatility, things will be a little delayed for a few months.

With all that in mind, we're keeping things moving here. We'll ask for your game choices each month, even if it's delayed. If anyone has questions, please ask in the comments and I'll assist. Thanks everyone.

---------------------------------------------------------

We are getting closer to moving forward with the May package so let’s choose our featured game! But first, we need to let you know when the May packages are expected to ship.

Now onto the Featured May game, the PNP links and options to switch.

NOTE: This only applies to wallet level patrons. Sorry non-wallet Patrons but your PNP goodies are at the bottom of this message :)

Here's what's going out for the May 2025 Wallet level Patrons:

  • Casinopolis

  • Casinopolis: Place Your Bets

  • Mysticana Expansion: The Queen's Interest

  • Skulls of Sedlec: Plague Doctors

For more details about these games, check out this post where we go into full detail.

If you want to swap, please complete the linked form by Monday June 2nd.

https://forms.gle/nuxMC2WabBZVG81dA

Some quick details about our featured game: Casinopolis

1 - 4 Players

Ka-ching! Ka-ching! The sounds of slot machines paying out their lucky winners are everywhere. Build up the central strip with popular themed casinos to turn this town into a proper gambler's haven.

Casinopolis is a standalone entry in the Sprawlopolis line of games, and plays similarly to the original with a few new twists. Place cards in an expanding map to create large groups of casinos, line up jackpot icons along roads, and balance scoring from three unique goals. You’ll need a little luck and a whole lot of skill to maximize your winnings!

Ok now it's PNP time! 

We have 4 PNPs this month. The links are available until June 1st, so make sure you download them now. As always do not share these files and please do not make public tabletop simulator mods (or anything like that - but private is 100% ok). But enjoy the games!

May 2025 Preview

Hey everyone, it’s mid April, so time for our May 2025 Preview. We have some cool stuff coming your way. Fans of the Opolis series will be happy with this month’s featured game. Let’s check it all out!

Casinopolis (Featured Wallet Game)

1-4 Players

Ka-ching! Ka-ching! The sounds of slot machines paying out their lucky winners are everywhere. Build up the central strip with popular themed casinos to turn this town into a proper gambler's haven.

Casinopolis is a standalone entry in the Sprawlopolis line of games, and plays similarly to the original with a few new twists. Place cards in an expanding map to create large groups of casinos, line up jackpot icons along roads, and balance scoring from three unique goals. You’ll need a little luck and a whole lot of skill to maximize your winnings!

Casinopolis: Place Your Bets (Expansion to Casinopolis)

1-4 Players

You’ve got an opportunity to build the biggest and best casino this city’s ever seen. Take a chance on your own skill and hopefully it’ll pay off.

Bet on yourself with this 6-card expansion that adds extra goals to work towards! Each game you’ll add two new goals (in addition to your normal set of 3) that must be completed to achieve victory. You’ll also need to consider the two Mega Structures in the deck. These 4-block buildings must be placed on The Strip and can’t be covered, so build wisely!

Mysticana: Queens Interest (Expansion Game for Mysticana)

2 Players

The queen has called a council meeting. As her two most trusted advisors, push your preferred interests to garner her favor and guide the realm’s future.

Convince the queen through shrewd manipulation and strategic gambits. Match your agenda to your secret interests while battling to keep the queen interested in your side of the conversation. The advisor who impresses the queen most at the end of the council meeting wins!

Skulls of Sedlec: Plague Doctors (Expansion for Skulls of Sedlec) 

2 - 3 Players

Overwhelmed doctors struggle to treat plague-ridden communities.

Strike a balance between using the infected to spread plague within specific communities of skulls and having enough plague doctors to treat all of the infected.

That’s everything for this preview. I’ll have a Choose Your Featured Game post shortly before we are ready to ship. That is when you can opt for a different featured game. See you then!

Early-ish access - Button Shy Deep Dive: Death Valley

Hey everyone, Jason here. I would love to do things like this more often, but we are always running up to the deadlines. Tomorrow is the release of the 3rd episode of Button Shy Deep Dive. This time focusing on Death Valley.

I have an early unlisted YouTube link to share. But we're doing these monthly and I'd love to get all of you a link about a week ahead of the launch going forward. Going to try!

So if you'd like a look, we talk about the origins of the game, how it ended up getting the backseat driver variant, the amazing artwork and more, with some team members and other special guests.

Enjoy!

(Be back tomorrow with our Kickstarter launch for Adventurous. Here's an early-ish link for that too: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/239309591/adventurous)

March PNPs (in case you missed them)

This post is for everyone at the <$18 reward levels. Just a heads up that last week or so the PNPs for the month went out, but the notification email only went to everyone at the $18+ reward levels. We adjusted the post so everyone could see it, but it didn't send out a new notification.

So here it is :)

Your March PNPs are here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/march-2025-your-124727231

Make sure you grab them before the month ends!

Otherwise, hello and hope all is well, and thanks as always for supporting us.

March 2025 Package - Choose your game & PNPs

Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing well and are enjoying the club. We’ve had a lot of solo game in the club recently, so this month we are bringing you a party game for higher player counts and it just so happens to be the 10th Anniversary of our very first Wallet Game! Movie Plotz was the first Wallet Game that started it all, and here we are over 120 wallets later. Time really flies!

We are aiming to get the March package out soon so it’s time to choose your featured game. We also have some pnp’s for you, so let’s check it out.

NOTE: This only applies to wallet level patrons. Sorry non-wallet Patrons but your PNP goodies are at the bottom of this message :)

Here's what's going out for the March 2025 Wallet level Patrons:

  • Movie Plotz: 10 Year Anniversary Edition

  • Aqua ROVE: Sunken Secrets

  • Mysticana: Realmseekers

For more details about these games, check out this post where we go into full detail.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/march-2025-123248852

If you would like the games above, do nothing, we will begin shipping very soon. But if you want to swap out the Featured Wallet Game: Movie Plotz: 10 Year Anniversary Edition, we have a small selection of in stock games that you can swap it with. Stock is low, so the swap options are dwindling and dwindling here.

If you want to swap, please complete the linked form by Friday March 21st. https://forms.gle/Uu6ACu2dQdgBgtWB9

Ok now it's PNP time! 

We have 3 PNPs this month. The links are available until April 1st, so make sure you download them now. As always do not share these files and please do not make public tabletop simulator mods (or anything like that - but private is 100% ok). But enjoy the games!

Some quick details about our featured game: Movie Plotz: 10 Year Anniversary Edition

2 - 12 Player

  

Movie Plotz is a wild game that allows your group to create hilarious fake movie storylines, then pitch them out loud for maximum laughs. Movie Plotz was designed as a very effective team building event that has evolved into a crazy party game where everyone contributes to the fun.

Players begin with a simple plot (a simple sentence) then draw cards to modify the movie concept. With each draw, players get to redo the pitch and make it even more exciting. In the end, the final plot will be a guaranteed hit!

April 2025 Preview

Hey everyone, April is approaching so let’s check out what is coming to the club! Our featured game for April will be Hyperstar Run, the latest installment in the Simply Solo line by Scott Almes. Let’s check out everything you’ll be getting!

Hyperstar Run (Featured Wallet Game)

1 Player

 

You grab the well-worn controller and load your latest save. This is it: the final level. With only 4 runs left to escape the Hyperstar base and beat the game, you better get moving.

 

Master the final level by using your button cards to get past the dangerous enemies lurking in the Hyperstar base. As you advance, you’ll be able to access more button presses and set up powerful combos that extend across multiple cards. Complete each card in the level successfully to beat the game. You’ve got four chances to finish the level, so use the knowledge gained with each run to set yourself up for the win!

 

Hyperstar Run: Equipment Drop (Expansion to Hyperstar Run)

1 Player

 

Need a power-up? Use these high-tech gadgets to boost your abilities as you make your way through the level.

 

This 4-card expansion adds new equipment to add variety to your starting equipment. With new combinations and wild buttons, you’ll have all-new ways to navigate the level and make it out of the space base.

Hyperstar Run: Final Bosses (Expansion to Hyperstar Run)

1 Player

 

Just when you think you’ve got victory in hand, the screen shakes and you hear that daunting music: it’s the final boss fight!

 

Use this 3-card expansion to add one of the unique final bosses to your level. If you can get past the boss, you’ll immediately win, but it won’t be easy. Each two-stage boss has its own requirements and combos that must be completed to defeat first its starting form and then its final form to truly beat the game.

Mysticana: Shifting Winds (Expansion Game for Mysticana)

1 - 2 Players

 

The three Windsprites are fickle and indifferent. Entice them to bless your village through offerings of sincere devotion.

 

Prove your village’s devotion to the Windsprites by making offerings that appeal to them in this 6-card expansion game for Mysticana. Use the cards in your hand or field as offerings, slowly revealing face-down cards as additional offerings. Competing offerings are resolved by element priority and rank. Wind cards offer the chance to secure the current sprite’s blessing or simply call for the next one. Accumulate successful offerings to earn favor and score a total of 4 favor across multiple rounds to win the game!

That’s everything that will be coming in the April package! We hope you’re excited and are enjoying the club. We’ll reach back out when things are ready to ship. Have an awesome weekend!

March 2025 Preview

Hey everyone, time for the March Preview! In March we will be bringing you something very special - the 10 Year Anniversary Edition of Movie Plotz! Yep, it’s been 10 years since our very first wallet game Movie Plotz came out. It’ll be packaged in a special silver wallet with all new artwork. Let’s check it out!

Movie Plotz: 10 Year Anniversary Edition (Featured Wallet Game)

2 - 12 Players

 

Movie Plotz is a wild game that allows your group to create hilarious fake movie storylines, then pitch them out loud for maximum laughs. Movie Plotz was designed as a very effective team building event that has evolved into a crazy party game where everyone contributes to the fun.

 Players begin with a simple plot (a simple sentence) then draw cards to modify the movie concept. With each draw, players get to redo the pitch and make it even more exciting. In the end, the final plot will be a guaranteed hit!

The game lasts for approximately 15 minutes, until all cards have been played. Depending on the rules variation that you choose to play, the player with the most points will win.

Aqua ROVE: Sunken Secrets (Expansion for Aqua ROVE)

1 Player

ROVE’s crossrouting protocols have improved navigation efficiency by 50%, opening routes to new scientific discoveries and previously hidden treasures!

 This 6-card Mission Pack expansion for Aqua ROVE challenges players to dive deeper in search of exciting new underwater discoveries. Use the new synergistic movement cards to move in 2 ways at once. For a greater challenge, activate Endurance Mode and push yourself to complete 12 full missions!

Mysticana: Realmseekers (Expansion Game for Mysticana)

1 - 6 Players

The queen has commissioned explorers to record the details of a newly-discovered realm, but lurking primordial threats bring deadly risk to the pursuit of knowledge.

 

Realmseekers 6-card expansion game for the Mysticana deck tasks 1-6 players with exploring a new realm. With each expedition, use savvy judgment to ensure that you are present for successful expeditions while avoiding the fate of a failed one. The longer the expedition takes, the more threats must be overcome. Each remaining participant may use their unique defensive skills to bolster their own chances. Exit the journey early to keep what meager knowledge you have or stick it out to the end in hopes of chronicling the full reaches of this unknown land!

That’s all for this month, we hope you are excited for everything. We can’t wait to bring you the 10 Year Anniversary Edition of Movie Plotz. A special thank you to all those that have stuck around since the original Movie Plotz 10 years ago!

How about some preview PNPs for Dionysia and Adventurous?

Hey everyone, Jason here with something all new. We usually give out the full color preview PNPs for new games at the time we launch a new Kickstarter, but we're starting to mix it up a little and send them out ahead of the campaigns. (Note: this also means we're ahead of schedule for once!)

So we have two new games here, with full color preview PNPs.

A few notes first:

  • These will often change between preview and release. Generally we will review for final balance, final text clarification, and a few more rounds of proofing. I would say we're always like 90% there, but never 100%.

  • Feel free to share your thoughts and photos of your plays, but do not share the files.

  • If you have any questions or issues, let us know. The best place is probably at discord, where the whole team can see it and quickly help. I'll link the channels below.

Onto the games!

Dionysia preview PNP (1-2 players)

All of Athens has turned out for the Dionysia, a grand theatrical festival to honor the god Dionysus. Impress the crowds with your well-crafted drama to win the playwriting competition as well as the favor of the gods!

Draft and craft a better drama than your opponent to secure the favor of the gods at this year’s Dionysia. As you take a scene from the central stage and add it to your developing play, you’ll need to decide whether to start a new act (to a max of 3) or add it to the top/bottom of an existing act. Create specific scoring patterns of dramatic elements through careful arrangement of your scenes while taking advantage of powerful effects available through each act’s key (topmost) scene. After each play has 3 acts of 3 scenes each, players score each act based on its key scene and pattern. Whoever has the most points is favored by the gods and wins the playwriting competition!

February 2025 Package - Choose your game & PNPs

Jason here with a quick status update (and one that was supposed to go out a few days ago, sorry about that). Everything for February arrived a little earlier than planned, so instead of sending two packages a week apart, we’re going to combine both January and February into one to help make things move quicker here at the office. The UK office will be doing the same, a few weeks after US goes out.

We have your information for January, but it is time for February's featured game!

NOTE: This only applies to wallet level patrons. Sorry non-wallet Patrons but your PNP goodies are at the bottom of this message :)

Here's what's going out for the February 2025 Wallet level Patrons:

  • Glass Garden

  • Glass Garden: Centerpieces 

  • Tides: Buried Treasure

  • Mysticana Expansion Game: Element of Surprise

  • FantasyForm: Burned Away and EMPTY FantasyForm Expansion Collection wallet  

For more details about these games, check out this post where we go into full detail.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/february-2025-120766769

If you would like the games above, do nothing, we will begin shipping very soon. But if you want to swap out the Featured Wallet Game: Glass Garden, we have a small selection of in stock games that you can swap it with. Stock is low, so the swap options are dwindling and dwindling here.

If you want to swap, please complete the linked form by Wednesday February 5th. https://forms.gle/hCxWFL6pKTak5Nsw8

Ok now it's PNP time! 

We have 5 PNPs this month. The links are available until March 1st, so make sure you download them now. As always do not share these files and please do not make public tabletop simulator mods (or anything like that - but private is 100% ok). But enjoy the games!

Some quick details about our featured game: Glass Garden

1 Player

Terrariums are works of living art, lush worlds cradled within glass walls. Use care to cultivate and protect your fragile environment.

Caring for a terrarium takes time and energy, even without a pesky critter chewing on your hard work! Take care of your freshly-planted succulents by moving them around to develop the resources they need. As the critter advances, it wreaks havoc on your miniature garden. Limit its damage while still growing your plants as high as you can manage to earn the title of Master Gardener!

February 2025 Preview

Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well and enjoying your games. February is approaching and you know what that means, time for the February Preview! This month has some great games in it with both some solo and some 2 player games. Let's check out what will be coming in the February package. 

Glass Garden (Featured Wallet Game)

1 Player

Terrariums are works of living art, lush worlds cradled within glass walls. Use care to cultivate and protect your fragile environment.

Caring for a terrarium takes time and energy, even without a pesky critter chewing on your hard work! Take care of your freshly-planted succulents by moving them around to develop the resources they need. As the critter advances, it wreaks havoc on your miniature garden. Limit its damage while still growing your plants as high as you can manage to earn the title of Master Gardener!

Glass Garden: Centerpieces (Expansion for Glass Garden)

1 Player

Make your terrarium really sparkle by introducing a centerpiece plant. Be warned: these unusual plants bring equally unusual critters.

Take your terrarium to the next level by including a centerpiece plant, a new hungry critter, or both! Centerpieces sit above your terrarium and must be completed by forming a unique pattern using your other plants, while the new critters have powerful features that limit which plants can be moved or grown.

FantasyForm: Burned Away (Expansion for FantasyForm)

1 Player

Smoke billows in the distance as volcanic activity surges. The coming eruption is a source of potentially unlimited power…if you can wield it more effectively than your rival.

FantasyForm: Burned Away is a 6-card expansion for FantasyForm. Each multi-use card, like those found in the base game, adds multiple elements to the game. Master the two new Forms of Magma and Smoke, hire a Wizard for increased magical power, and more. Make good use of the cataclysmic environment to defeat your Rival!

In addition, this will include an empty FantasyForm Expansion Collection wallet.

Tides: Buried Treasure (Expansion for Tides)

1 - 2 Players

An ancient pirate left behind their secret riches. Now they’re yours to keep, provided you can find a good use for them.

This 6-card expansion adds to your beach adventure with doubloons and treasure chests. Doubloons are a wild currency that can be used for any craft, while chests increase your hand size. Create all-new objects to celebrate your unexpected bounty!

Mysticana Expansion Game: Element of Surprise

1 - 2 Players

Within a realm shattered by war, shrewd nobles back opposing factions to secure their place in the future. Lend your support at the right time to wrest control of the realm from your rivals.

Players square off as influential nobles vying for leadership of a war-torn realm. Each turn, players manipulate three elemental factions, backing one in their fight against their rival. Over a series of battles, one player can solidify control of the realm and earn the victory.

Well that’s everything for February! There's some real exciting stuff coming, and I hope you’re all as hyped as we are. We will reach out when it’s time to choose your featured games shortly before shipping. See you then!

Some quick details about our featured game: Circle The Wagons: Second Shot

2 Players

Think you've seen it all out here on the prairie? Think again, partner! There's always a new adventure just over that next hill. Best keep your wits about you—anything can happen out here!

Circle the Wagons: Second Shot is a brand new set of 18 cards that can either be played standalone or combined with the base Circle the Wagons game. In this 2-player drafting game, players take turns picking cards from the circle and adding them to their scoring tableau. The twist? Any card in the circle you skip over goes directly to your opponent. Arrange your cards to create scoring blocks and fulfill the three shared scoring goals if you wanna be the best in the West!

Second Shot also introduces Newfangled Mode. In this variant, all 36 cards are shuffled together and then split back into two unique 18-card sets. Players play through the first set, scoring only the shared goals, then continue their game using the second set and the regular block-scoring rules. It’s winner-take-all in this ultimate showdown!

Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter as a US/UK member

You ONLY need to support the Kickstarter campaign if you want more than one copy of Hyperstar Run, or will switch it out when it is the Featured Wallet in the club package.

For this campaign, we will NOT be using a pledge manager for US or UK backers. You will need to calculate the amount to pledge based on the reward you wish to receive.

Choose the $1 Board Game of the Month Club Members reward level and adjust your pledge amount by adding bonus support. Find the reward level that you would like in the table below, then add the cost of shipping and subtract the discount for your patron level to find out how much to pledge.

 

Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter as an INTERNATIONAL member (not US/UK)

You ONLY need to support the Kickstarter campaign if you want more than one copy of Hyperstar Run, or will switch it out when it is the Featured Wallet in the club package. 

For this campaign we will be using Gamefound’s Pledge Manager again.

When the Pledge Manager opens, if you do not see the credit, we will be able to update it manually; this will most likely happen if your Kickstarter name and email address is different to your Patreon name and email address. Please email buttonshyhelp@gmail.com when the pledge manager opens if you need us to apply the credit to a different Gamefound account.

Any questions, just ask either in the comments here or on our Discord server.

Master the final level by using your button cards to get past the dangerous enemies lurking in the Hyperstar base. As you advance, you’ll be able to access more button presses and set up powerful combos that extend across multiple cards. Complete each card in the level successfully to beat the game.

January 2025 Preview

EDIT - Jason here with a quick clarification. At the top of this post we originally wrote the blurb below. It was in the draft that the team reviewed earlier today, but for whatever reason it didn't make it out to everyone. So here it is.

First, here's an update about the outstanding November and December packages. We sent some November packages, but with the holidays and some of our team taking time off we haven't managed to send them all. To get back on track, we are going to send both of these packages together next week to anyone in the US who is still waiting for them. International members will be sent the combined November and December package next week too. UK members should have received shipping notifications for November packages today and December's packages will be sent in mid-January when the games reach our UK hub.

Also while I'm here, thank you all for a great year. We have lots of fun planned for 2025, starting tomorrow when we send out your new monthly coupon codes. Expect another update tomorrow, sorry! It's been busy here with two weeks of mid-week holidays and everyone taking some time off to be with their families. Onto the full update!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

January is here, which means some new games! There is a good range of player counts and variety in this month's games/expansions. We really feel like there's something for everyone in the January package. Let's check it out!

Circle The Wagons: Second Shot (Featured Wallet Game)

2 Players

Think you've seen it all out here on the prairie? Think again, partner! There's always a new adventure just over that next hill. Best keep your wits about you—anything can happen out here!

Circle the Wagons: Second Shot is a brand new set of 18 cards that can either be played standalone or combined with the base Circle the Wagons game. In this 2-player drafting game, players take turns picking cards from the circle and adding them to their scoring tableau. The twist? Any card in the circle you skip over goes directly to your opponent. Arrange your cards to create scoring blocks and fulfill the three shared scoring goals if you wanna be the best in the West!


Second Shot also introduces Newfangled Mode. In this variant, all 36 cards are shuffled together and then split back into two unique 18-card sets. Players play through the first set, scoring only the shared goals, then continue their game using the second set and the regular block-scoring rules. It’s winner-take-all in this ultimate showdown!

Circle The Wagons: Lone Cowboy (Expansion for Circle The Wagons: Second Shot)

1 Player

Put your skills to the test against a wily opponent in the solo expansion for Circle the Wagons.

Lone Cowboy is a series of solo expansions for Circle the Wagons and Second Shot. Each set introduces new scenario cards. These tell the player which scoring conditions to use in the game as well as adding specific rules to determine the behavior of the non-human opponent. The solo game is played over two rounds but otherwise follows standard gameplay.

Super Slopes: Park Rats and Wallet (Expansion for Super Slopes)

1 - 3 Players

You call the terrain park home. Stomp that landing for big points!

Super Slopes: Park Rat adds a terrain park that you get points for if you follow the right direction as you score.

Naturopolis: Elevation (Expansion for Naturopolis)

1 - 4 Players

As the salmon migrate upstream, hungry bears gather and take advantage of their abundance to feed themselves.

Naturopolis: Elevation is a 6-card expansion that adds new blocks that feature bears and salmon. Using the new placement rule, in which higher-altitude blocks must be supported by lower-altitude ones, line up the cascading rivers to ensure that no bear goes hungry.

Mysticana: Curse of Dragons (Expansion game for Mysticana)

1 Player

The ancient dragons who once terrorized your realm have returned in search of new treasure. Rally your forces and wield elemental magic to guard against their invasion.

Defeat the three ancient dragons to protect your lands! Each turn you must call upon your elemental skills to improve your position without falling victim to the dragons’ curse. Lay out sets of cards exactly matching each dragon’s banish requirements before they steal away all your wealth.

That's it for now, we hope you're hyped for this one! We will reach back out when it's time to choose your featured game. Until then, enjoy the new year!

The 2025 Button Shy preview is here!

Hello everyone! It's that time of year again. Time to announce all of our games for 2025. We have a lot to announce and share but a few small details first.

These are the wallet games and walleted expansions that we plan to release or Kickstart in 2025. Sometimes things will get shifted, and those late Kickstarters will often ship in the beginning of the next year. We're including all of it. As a result of that, you may recognize a few of these from last year.

Also sometimes things happen and games end up shifting out completely or getting removed from our schedule due to delays or a contract issue. It's rare, but it has happened before. I just want to throw that out there.

Sometimes names or logos or wallet colors will change. We're really early on a few of these, so a shift in tone could happen as we get deeper into art direction and development.

And finally, this upcoming year is STACKED. Most BGOTMC packages are looking to be almost $40 after shipping. We made some great changes in 2024 that resulted in getting things out much faster. We're looking to make some additional changes for 2025 to make this all a little more affordable. We have a few thoughts and I will likely post them separately so we can discuss them in full uninterrupted detail.

And now... onto the preview!

2025 Wallet Line

These 12 games are what we are calling the 2025 Wallet Line. They may not exactly be the 12 that we will get here each month with stuff like Black Friday and shifting timelines, but it's as close to it as it gets right now.


Let's look at the individual games.

Adventurous is a cooperative game for 1-4 players from the team of Dustin Dobson and Milan Zivkovic. Sail the high seas aboard a unique ship in this tile-laying game of nautical adventure. Navigate encounters ranging from natural wonders to mythological marvels as you extend your route through uncharted waters. The further you sail and the more you discover, the better your journey!

Return to the Neververse with Battlecrest: Deadrock, our third year base set. Only the toughest and most brutal fighters can survive this desolate landscape. As with Fellwoods and Metronn, Deadrock comes with a new 6-card map and two new heroes. More heroes will be added throughout the year to test their might against each other and their environment.

There's another big Battlecrest announcement below. Make sure you scroll down for it.

Casinopolis is a standalone entry in the Sprawlopolis line of games, and plays similarly to the original with a few new twists. Place cards in an expanding map to create large groups of casinos, line up jackpot icons along roads, and balance scoring from three unique goals. You’ll need a little luck and a whole lot of skill to maximize your winnings!

Just a look at how much goes into the art for these games. It needs to be detailed but fade into the background at the same time. Such an intense mix of complex simplicity.

The race to save Malvios continues with 3 new entries for Converge by Peter C. Hayward. As with previous Converge wallets, each 18-card set is a standalone game that features 3 unique factions. Factions can also be swapped around to create all-new combinations. Craft the right team to meet ever-changing goals in your quest to survive the looming catastrophe.

Dionysia hit the holiday theme from an unusual angle by commemorating the festivals for Dionysus common to ancient Greece. This interesting and unexpected theme isn’t just set dressing: it carries through the whole game. From the cards being placed across a standard 3-act structure to the specific scenes available and the use of upstaging/downstaging to splay cards, Dionysia hit all the right notes. And its novel scoring mechanic, where players need to create specific lines of icons across their 9 cards to match their scoring scenes, earned applause from our judges.

Just take a look at this art from Dan Gartman.

Visit the sights in Downtown Las Palmas, an entirely in-hand solo game from Erica Pinto. Place cards in your hand to create an evolving cityscape, stacking cards to develop new buildings with distinct scoring elements. With each addition, you’ll need to manage more and more until it all comes falling down!

Stoke the fire or suffer the consequences in Embers, a solo-only game from Steven Aramini. As the campfire dies down, horrific threats appear out of the woods. The only way to keep your camp safe is with constant vigilance: a feat easier said than done.

Master the final level of the next Scott Almes Simply Solo Game Hyperstar Run by using your button cards to get past the dangerous enemies lurking in the Hyperstar base. As you advance, you’ll be able to access more button presses and set up powerful combos that extend across multiple cards. Complete each card in the level successfully to beat the game. You’ve got four chances to finish the level, so use the knowledge gained with each run to set yourself up for the win!

Lands of Amazement is the next installment of our Simply Solo line. Make your name by designing a variety of small amusement parks, then cap your career by creating a truly world-class entertainment destination. Each park requires correct placement of rides and facilities to ensure success. Entertainment is serious business!

You'll notice the theme is quite different than the original prototype, but for now we'll show you what that was like.

This Malaysian take on Chinese New Year delivered on everything we were looking for. Vibrant and elegant, Leaping Lions celebrated its holiday theme in every aspect of play. Seeing the lion dance across the platforms is pure fun, but it’s the complex interplay between the various platform cards that really makes the game shine. Every game requires a delicate dance between choosing unique abilities or scoring elements, playing cards or discarding them for upgrades, and managing the pool of draftable cards for the next turn. With a variety of ways to score and the potential for explosive combos, our games were full of big exciting moments that made us want to play Leaping Lions again and again.

As a member of the elite Phantasmic Dueling Squad, you know what it takes to wield the most dangerous spells. In this magical guessing game for 2-3 players by Marceline Leiman, you’ll test those skills by competing against other top spellcasters and use your knowledge of counterhexes to avoid getting knocked out of the competition.

Shallow Regrets is the leaner cousin of Judson Cowan’s game Deep Regrets, which blew us all away when he launched it on Kickstarter this year. Pull up unsettling curiosities in this strategic horror fishing game. Who knows what strange creatures lurk below the water's surface?

2025 Extra Stuff

I don't have a great name for this set of games, but they are a little bit extra. :)

 

The new Apropos games will be coming to the BGOTMC as single cards each month, eventually ending with a wallet.

The Converge games will be part of a big Kickstarter, and if I remember correctly, all 3 didn't come to the club. There will be an option to buy them with your discounts though.

Movie Plotz 10 Year Anniversary Edition is a celebration of our very first wallet game. It'll have all new art, and our 10 year silver wallet. We hope to do a few of these as we hit milestones. This should be coming to the club.

And then there's our very first big co-op boss for Battlecrest. This is another one that's a little extra so it'll probably be a discount instead of a club release. Let's look a little deeper at that one:

Close friends and bitter rivals team up against an incredibly powerful foe with the Battlecrest: Eterna Overlord Set. This new entry for 1-4 players by Mike Mullins puts a co-operative spin on the familiar Battlecrest gameplay, providing a boss character unlike anything the Neververse has yet seen. The included 12-card boss and the new 6-card map are fully compatible with all other Battlecrest products, allowing players to mix and match their Battlecrest experience even further.

2025 Expansion Collections

As you probably already know, we release a handful of expansions for each game. When we hit about 18 cards worth, we've been collecting them in expansion collection wallets.

I'm sure most of these aren't a surprise, but maybe they are? A few of these are sort of wrapping up with their last expansions, but some never stop (Skulls of Sedlec, I'm talking to you. Plague Doctors are coming in 2025).

WHEW! That's been a long time coming from our whole team here at Button Shy. We are really excited for 2025 and we hope you are too. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

December 2024 Preview

Hey everyone, December is just about here, so you know what that means. Time for another preview! We are bring some really fun stuff to the december package. Everything can be played solo or multiplayer, which means there should be something fun for everyone!

RNSM (Featured Wallet Game)

1 - 4 players


Your crew thought you'd planned the perfect crime, until a slip of the tongue put the cops on your tail! Outwit your criminal compatriots with clever wordplay to make sure you get away clean.

RNSM is a bluffing word game where players play letters or challenge their opponents to say a word from those letters. Play your cards right and you’ll get away clean; make a risky bluff or a bad challenge and you’ll almost certainly be apprehended!

Every player receives a starting hand of letters, while one card from the deck is used to start the central row.

On their turn, a player draws a new card and then adds one of their letters to the row. A player may instead challenge the previous player on their turn: the challenged player must provide a valid word that uses all of the letters in the central row in order, adding any additional letters as needed. If they can, they discard 2 cards; otherwise the challenging player discards 2. After each challenge, restart the row while leaving players’ hands intact.

The first player to discard all of their cards is the grand mastermind!

For solo play, the player adds letters to the central row until they decide to end the game, at which time they must provide a valid word to score a point for each letter in the row. The more letters, the higher the score!

RNSM: Vexing Letters (Expansion to RNSM)

1 - 4 players

 Not again! You’ll need to pull out all the stops if you want to avoid getting caught this time.

Vexing Letters adds 6 new cards featuring lesser-used letters. It also adds the Double Ransom variant which features two central words rather than one.

Agropolis: Harvest (Expansion to Agropolis)

1 - 4 players

There’s always more work to be done on the farm. As your farm grows, make sure the most important projects are getting done.


Agropolis: Harvest is a 6-card expansion that introduces a variety of seasonal projects to manage. Follow each project’s specific placement rules to meet their conditions and gain the benefit of their featured blocks. Place them all successfully while still achieving your other goals to win!

Battlecrest: Rin Mana (Expansion to Battlecrest) with Wallet

1 - 2 players

An inscrutable new Hero enters the fray.

 The mystic hermit Rin Mana has spent their entire lifetime unraveling the secrets of reality itself. Long years of isolation have distorted their moral compass even as their mind expanded with world-warping power. Now they crusade to remake the Neververse according to their own inscrutable principles.

This month will also include an empty Battlecrest: Expansion Collection #4 wallet.

Mysticana: Harbingers (Expansion to Mysticana)

1 - 2 players

Three horrific harbingers herald the crises to come. As a powerful seer, use your mystic visions to prepare against the ever-worsening perils.

 Harbingers builds on the existing Mysticana solo game Nine Perils with new Harbingers, special abilities, escalating challenges across three rounds, and a cooperative mode for 2 players.

That's it for this month's preview. Hope you are as excited as we are! I'll let everyone know when it's time to collect your game choices.
