Posted project update #15Rules Downloads, More Reviews, and another Award Nomination
Table Gype should be in the hands of just about all of you by now, and I hope you are all enjoying your games. Thank you for the reviews and ratings!
In case any of you lose, mangle, misplace, or just want a crisp copy of any of the rules, here is where to obtain them:
To get the PDF of the rules for Table Gype, click here: http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/66119/english-rules-from-2nd-printing-of-uncle-chestnuts
For the Super Chaos/Card Gype rules, click here: http://www.mediafire.com/?cde4pooo6p3wx63
We are only 7 ratings away from being ranked on BoardGameGeek.com - ranked among all games of all time, at least by people who find Twilight Struggle, Through the Ages, and Puerto Rico to be the best games of all time and put Monopoly at a lowly 7,328th place.
While on the subject of BGG, Table Gype has been nominated for Best Abstract Strategy Game Golden Geek award by BGG members. Just being nominated is an honor, especially from a group that, as a whole, is not overly fond of the Mensa Select picks. In fact, Table Gype is the ONLY Mensa Select game nominated for a Golden Geek award in 2011!
If you'd like to vote in the final round, cast your vote before October 31: http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/706117/2011-golden-geek-nominees-announced-voting-open

commented on a projectWe offer free replacement pieces, just let us know what you need. Part of the delay was dealing with the discs. The die/jig is set for dice and the discs were very hard to get pressed.

I don't have a problem with things getting delayed as long as the project managers keep the backers up to date. Some people seem to disappear when things don't work out, while others get annoyed when we ask for status. I'm glad that you guys are keeping us up to date.

Posted project update #1Like Christmas, It's Still Coming...
Post CommentThank you to those of you who supported this project. Unfortunately we did not reach our funding levels which means you are not going to be charged and no one is getting the rewards.
However, I'm still planning on having the book released for Christmas 2011. I'll post updates here, plus you can subscribe to me email updates at eternalrevolution.com/email.html

Posted project update #13Now Shipping!
Post CommentThe last of the components have arrived, and today our mail carrier will be picking up the first of the orders to ship!
Over the next week (and if need be, the following week) we will be sending out more games each day, as well as assembling more copies of the game.
Some of you still need to complete the surveys so we can get your address - otherwise we don't know where to send your game!
Also, if you haven't checked it out yet, my next book is a current Kickstarter project in need of help! Everyone who pledges $1 gets a PDF copy - that is, if we are successful.
Once again, thank you all.

Posted project update #12Surveys Away! Also, the Next Project is Live!
Post CommentThe surveys have now all been sent. We had some unexpected delays from our suppliers of the special rewards (discs and cards) but we are working through them. We play a lot of Gype after all, and dealing with the unforeseen circumstances is a valuable lesson from the game.
While we are working on new games, my next Kickstarter project (with only 30 days to go!) is a book that you can get for pledging just $1 - and it is now live: http://kck.st/om39GY
Thank you all for your support - I'll post updates as we progress with filling orders!

Posted project update #11Thank You!
Post CommentWhat a day. Came home very late last night from fireworks on Lake Michigan, to news of our project not only being funded but almost to the 400% level!
Also today, a big write-up in the Grand Rapids Press: http://www.mlive.com/living/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2011/07/west_michigan_brothers_create.html
For those of you in the Grand Rapids area, the article is the majority of the lifestyle section, with even more photos.
As some of you know, we won't actually get the Kickstarter funds for 2 weeks, and we need those funds to order the printing of Card Gype and the wood discs. So we should be shipping in about 3-4 weeks depending on what rewards you chose.
While there will probably be a few more updates, if you would like to stay in the know about all of Eternal Revolution's activities, consider joining our mailing list at http://www.eternalrevolution.com/email.html
Thank you so much for making this possible!

I'd be happy to rate the game on BGG, I'm having a hard time figuring out where? My wife and I love to play this together. It's the perfect game to play on your porch or at a cafe while drinking tea.
