Thanks and a note about the art and graphics in Venture
As we get closer and closer to reaching our goal, we wanted to extend our thanks to you, our backers, for the great help you are giving us to get this project off the ground!
We also thought that you might enjoy some notes that the developer of this trilogy edition, Rick Soued from Gryphon and Eagle Games, prepared recently about the art and graphics used in this edition of Venture:
Our thinking was that Venture had enough of a theme that we could cohesively integrate all of the art and graphics in the game and pay homage to Sid Sackson in the process of doing so. Thus the cover shows a 1911 lithograph of New York City (Sid Sackson's home town) as it appeared close to the year of his birth (1920). For the Capital Cards in the game we used pictures of well-known "captains of industry" who had some kind of presence (typically in the form of buildings owned, corporations headquartered and in some cases personal residences) in New York between 1900 and 1930-ish. And of course the Corporations Cards in the game feature silhouettes from that era, representing the fields these entrepreneurs were the most active in--namely real estate, automobiles, shipping, steel, oil and railroads. We had fun finding what we thought were "just the right images" to support these ideas, and we hope you enjoy the "atmosphere" we were attempting to create as you play this classic game, whether it is for the first (or perhaps the 101st) time!

Extra Collector's Sets - We are very thankful to you, our backers, for getting us close to 150% of our goal! And to help push (or stretch) things a bit we thought we would make this offer to our backers--old and new--at the $55 Collector's Level. If you have already backed at the Collector's Level (below), or wish to now back this project at the $55 Collector's Level, you can add increments of $50 to your already-existing or upcoming $55 pledge and get additional copies of the boxed trilogy of these games. Shipping, of course, remains free in the US, and you can take $5 off the shipping needed to Canada ($15 for the extra set) and Internationally $25 for the extra set). We ask you not to actually pledge at this new $50 level but to simply add this $50 per set to your existing pledge at the $55 Level below. Thanks!
