      Loved having the picture of the boys on the back of the rules - great idea.
      Also really appreciated having the copies of the boys' ideas and the concept sketches. :-)

      @Stephen - I just sent a message to Aaron asking how we should indicate if we wanted multiple decks. Remember, this is his first Kickstarter.

      @Conrad - I would sent a message to Aaron. For one thing, unless you've already sent it, they probably don't have your phone number!

      Apologies Rebecca, I posted an update just the other day, but we are doing schoolwork first before doing other behind the scenes business stuff like product testing, final design work and gearing up for sales using our new software. Tobin is crafting a thank you letter that we will be posting tonight after his homework is done. If there is something you are specifically looking for, please let me know. I'm new to kickstarter as well and would like to figure out the best way to communicate.

      Kinda disappointed in the lack of communication in the last couple of days... Feels like now the goal has been reached no-one cares to say anything anymore...

      Creator Dan - Slightly amusing moniker of the OO on September 18, 2012

      Impressive that you are doing this this is part of what I love about the internet! My younger self is incredibly jealous of you guys! I hope you keep at your gaming company and look forward to seeing more from you in future.

      My former 8 year old self is completely jealous that your parents let you do this...I'm also excited that Kickstarter exists for my little boy to use once he gets old enough to talk and talk.

      Backed this and shared on Facebook. Good job, guys :)

      There's absolutely no way I can pass up supporting this ambitious newcomer to the game scene. I'm looking forward to this, and being able to say I funded the next Notch on his very first project.

      Epic job, Wine family.

      Hi Kristen,

      We posted your answers in our FAQ so that others will see them. Thanks for your help and we know you will enjoy the game.

      Creator Kristen on August 31, 2012

      First of all, great concept. Love hearing about the things you are learning. :-)
      Second, a few questions:
      1) What if I would like to order more than one deck? (We're thinking about Christmas gifts.)
      2) Do you have plans to continue. To sell the original card game after the end of your Kickstarter?
      3) What is your age range for the card game.

      Also, time to start thinking about stretch goals. ;-)

    43. Bgg.small

      Creator Walker Schlundt on August 25, 2012

      I saw this on Board Game Geek. You've got my support!
