      @Blake: Hi, Blake!

      At the start of each game, every player starts off with 2 Karma Tokens.

      If Player A decides to place a puzzle piece into Player B's puzzle as an offensive move, Player A must then take one of Player B's Karma Tokens. Players with 0 Karma Tokens cannot be targeted for such moves, whereas more aggressive players who have accumulated several tokens are opening themselves up to a lot of payback.

      Did that help? If you've got other questions about gameplay, please feel free to comment, or better yet send me a private message and I'll gladly assist.

      Got mine, and we're going to play a game, but we're a bit confused on whether or not you get additional karma tokens somehow ? Or if you only ever get two?

      Yay! Just got my email that it shipped!

      Creator Carla Miller on April 30

      I haven't received my copy yet either. I'm shocked to learn they are handing out free copies for review and I still haven't received those I'm owed for backing the project. :-(

      Should we have received it by now? My gaming store has a copy but I don't have mine. I'm in Indiana USA.

      As I was putting a puzzle together with my daughter today I couldn't help but to think of this game and how much I can't wait to get it! Come on March! :)

      Will there be an opportunity to update my address before you ship?

      Creator Ryan Saul on August 14, 2012

      Was hoping to bring this to PAX Prime later this month, but I don't think it will be ready for that. Any of you guys going? If you have a prototype I'd love to play it there! In any case, no rush or anything, just keep us posted :D

    17. Avatarrj.small

      Creator Brainstormers_CL on August 13, 2012

      Hello, rcamp,

      The next update will be about the approval of the proof / pre-production sample. If the proof process is on track, then Grand Prix International will send it and we will be able to review it soon. This next step is particularly interesting to us because this proof will give us an indication of what the final Puzzle Me! product will look like.

      Please excuse me for asking you to continue to wait.

      Creator rcamp on August 13, 2012

      Its been a while without updates. Whats happening?

    19. Avatarrj.small

      Creator Brainstormers_CL on July 11, 2012

      Hello, theraccoonbear,

      The next milestone for Puzzle Me! is still the completion of the pre-production sample. We're in the process of making some file corrections with GPI; once that's done, I'm told that it won't take too long for the pre-production sample to be sent. Once it arrives, I will make the next update to our Kickstarter campaign.

      I'm sorry that I don't have better news right now. Thank you for your continued patience, folks.

      Anything to report lately? It's been a while.

    21. Avatarrj.small

      Creator Brainstormers_CL on June 18, 2012

      Hello, Dawn,

      Puzzle Me! is currently in the production process. We are waiting to receive our first pre-production sample from our manufacturer, Grand Prix International. Once that is received, Brainstormers will either approve it, or we will ask GPI to make adjustments. Once we have an approved pre-production sample, full-on production of Puzzle Me! will commence!

      I will post an update when I receive that pre-production sample so that you and the other backers can see what it looks like. As for the final ship date, all I can right now is that we are targeting the Summer.

      when do you think they will be coming?

    23. Elminster.small

      Creator theraccoonbear on May 14, 2012

      Estimated delivery was April and we're now in mid-May with well over a month since the last proper update and almost two weeks since a mention of one. What is the updated delivery estimate?

    24. Throwdownred.small

      Creator Rob Lansdale on May 8, 2012

      Can't wait!

      Hello everyone,

      Admittedly, I'm pretty bad at regular updates. But I will have an important update soon! I can't rush it, because this next update has to do with payments and signing of paperwork and other things that are best done carefully.

      More info is on the way.

      Creator Brainstormers_CL on March 26, 2012

      Sorry for being so quiet lately, folks! I'm going to be posting an update shortly. And now that I'm not traveling so much (at least for the time being), I'll be doing a better job of keeping you posted on what's going on.

      One Hour to go! Until now, the only countdown I've paid attention to was on New Year's Eve.

      Thank you, Alvaro! Even before our Kickstarter campaign you've been a supporter of ours, and we haven't even met face to face! We will some day figure out a way to return the favor.

      I vote for the Red Puzzle piece to say Puzzle Me!

      Love the concept, glad you made it!

    38. Avatarrj.small

      Creator Brainstormers_CL on January 26, 2012

      @Ryan Saul: Thank you for your words of encouragement, Ryan! In regards to your question, I'm going to ask Pablo to tell you about what inspired him as he designed PM. Expect another comment or a message to head your way soon.

      What I can say for sure is that me and a couple of other Brainstormers have played Carcassone. It rocks! And it wasn't until you mentioned it that I realized there are some fundamental similarities between Carcassone and Puzzle Me.

      - Richard

    39. Dsc_3813.small

      Creator Ryan Saul on January 26, 2012

      Really love that you're doing the special puzzle piece, it would be a great conversation starter for anyone that notices. "Thank you" is fine, but maybe something along the lines of "Puzzle Me! Starter" or "Puzzle Me! Backer" might be more appropriate. Its also an opportunity for you guys to come up with some neat slogan :D

      Quick question, when I watched the video, and what made me throw some money your way was that this game reminded me a lot of Carcassone, have you guys ever played that and/or was it any sort of inspiration?
