C2E2: Day 2

Two days down, one to go! Saturday at C2E2 was WAY busier than Friday, but thankfully we had some awesome friends help us out at the booth! Started to lose a bit of sanity toward the end there, but we're hyped for tomorrow. If we have any copies of Road To Infamy left, we're going to make a new Bundle reward tier, so be sure to check back on Monday.

Thanks for being patient with us while we're preoccupied with the convention! We'll continue to do our best to answer as many questions and comments as we can.

Social Goal Unlocked: 6 & 8-Player Variant

Welp. Turns out the idea for a 6 & 8-player variant was WAY more popular than we anticipated! So now when you have two copies of Crypt, you can play "The Clash of the Twins."

We're excited to get back into playtesting and polish this team-based mode. We were chatting with our game designer friend, Jordan, who gave us some inspiration on how to keep the game moving fast when you double the number of players. We'll be sure to send video updates with how it's coming along.

That's all for now. Much love!

C2E2 Recap

It's been a crazy weekend, but we had a blast at C2E2! We met a lot of fellow gamers and played an unhealthy amount of Crypt. We're exhausted, yet excited to get back to full speed with the campaign.

New Signature Bundle Reward Tier

There are 108 unsold copies of Road To Infamy left in stock. So we've opened another pledge level to bundle Crypt with the final copies of Road To Infamy and we'll be signing each copy. Due to the high international shipping price, this tier will only be available in the US (these will be shipped from Andrew's apartment, not a bulk shipping distributor). Once these copies are sold, the game will be out of print.

If you're curious about how Road To Infamy works, check out our tutorial and gameplay video:

Revised Stretch Goals

We changed the titles of the "gold pips" and "marbled dice" stretch goals to be the more all-encompassing "custom pips" and "custom colors." We changed the names so we could be more flexible with the colors, especially since the idea of black pips on bone white dice was so popular, plus there was concern about readability of gold pips on marbled dice. We've been getting a TON of cool ideas and different opinions from you guys and we just want to make sure that we're giving you an upgrade that everyone is happy with. Nothing is set in stone color-wise, so we'll continue the discussion with you to find the best option for the coolest looking dice.

I've got to head to work in a few minutes but I'll be answering questions and comments as often as I can! Much Love,

Jeff & Andrew

Crypt on Board Game Geek
about 6 years ago – Mon, Apr 16, 2018 at 12:26:28 AM

New BGG Social Goal

Our Board Game Geek page is now up and running! To get some traction in the BGG community, we're going to throw in a dope box upgrade if Crypt gets 1,000 Fans on BGG (click the heart icon!).To go along with the spot UV, we'd love to emboss the king with a slight raised texture to really bring him to life... err, death? 

More Topics on BGG

We've started some topics in the BGG forums to help organize and flesh out all the great conversations we're having in the comments. Board Game Geek allows users to post pictures, create their own discussions, and rate the game. Make sure to check out these threads!

New Stretch Goal - Gilded Edition
about 6 years ago – Mon, Apr 16, 2018 at 12:26:17 AM

Stretch Goal Status

Once again you guys are flying through these stretch goals. Crypt's dice will now be increased to 14mm! If you haven't seen it yet, I posted the latest dice mockup on our BGG Forum. Take a look and let us know what you think!

Speaking of BGG, we only need about 370 more Fans to unlock the embossed box. If you'd like to help push us toward this goal, make sure to stop by Crypt's Board Game Geek Page.

And now for our newest Stretch Goal...

The Gilded Edition

For the treasure collectors out there, the next stretch goal is the Kickstarter Exclusive Gilded Edition of Crypt. The Gilded Edition will include gold-edged cards and an alternate box cover. We're super stoked about the idea of a collector's edition of Crypt and can't wait to show you some concepts. More to come!

Much Love,

Jeff & Andrew

HOLY MOLY CRYPT FUNDED IN JUST 2 HOURS

Guys, seriously, what is happening!? I can't believe you've done this. We are positively OVERWHELMED by the amount of support you guys are showing. Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We've been hoping and dreaming for a successful launch like this for years. For reference, our previous campaigns took 30 days to get to 376 and 584 backers respectively, and in less than 24 hours we are at 1,000! Seriously can't say it enough -- THANK YOU.

Stretch goal unlocked: Solo Variant

We are working hard to finish up the 1-player mode of Crypt. It's going through a lot of playtesting and we're just trying to make sure it's as refined as the base game. Here's a quick first draft of the rules so you can try it out on Tabletop Simulator or with the Print and Play. 

And here's a quick overview of how it works.

.

We would love to hear your feedback in the comments and if you test it out for yourself, submit your scores to help us balance the game. Jeff's high score is 57 and Andrew's is 47 (what a chump). Can you top the designers??

New Stretch Goals

You guys are hitting stretch goals faster than we can make them! Check out all the new game upgrades that were made possible by your support.

Again, thank you so much. Let's keep making this game even better!

Love,

Jeff & Andrew
