Dice Hate Me Games is a division of Dice Hate Me, committed to bringing entertaining, innovative, and challenging games to the table. Our passion for boardgames, dedication to quality, and guiding life philosophies are reflected in the innovative designers, keen developers, and talented artists that we choose to work with.
We are eternally grateful for the unwavering support from family, friends, and colleagues which has guided us in helping to make our dream a reality.
Scott - VivaJava has been on BGG since 2011. We also have a link to the BGG page on the front page of this project: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/103660/vivajava-the-coffee-game
Why don't you have this game listed on BoardGameGeek.com yet? There is not listing in the database for it. This strikes me as odd.
Chris - We'll have a full update on progress when we return from PAX East in the next few days, with some pictures of the box mock-up and some Brewples! Hang tight.
Any word on this been almost a month since the last update?
Teik - We do not process the packages directly from Dice Hate Me Games HQ. Therefore, our fulfillment service handles distribution and is more qualified to address your concerns. Please feel free to contact Game Salute at 1-800-459-5516, or email via Salute@GameSalute.com.
For those of us overseas, could you please make sure the correct game value is listed on the package and not the total including postage as some of us will likely get custom duty or VAT (say 20% in U.K.) slapped on it and hate to pay that for the postage as well! So for my 2-pack International medium roast, please state total value of 2 games and not include the postage bit., Cheers
So glad this was incredibly successful. Can't wait to play it.
Congratulation!
This game looks so sick! I just wish it was out now. It's so hard to find good games to play with 6 people, let alone 8!
Good job, guys. Congrats!
Congrats!!
Poor Cherilyn, somewhere around 741 "Brewple" to be hand colored...
Congratz!! Cannot wait for game :-)
Congrats!
Congrats on your magnificent project!
Congratulations! Can't wait to get this game :)
I got the money just in time to include the coffee to go pack added to my order! Now I just have wait for the game to brew...
Congrats. Looking forwards to the middle of the year in August when the game makes its commercial debut :)
Congrats on an amazing game and kickstarter run to do it justice!! So stoked!!
Congratulations guys, you pretty much quadrupled your goal! Great job, and I'm really looking forward to playing this unique game!
I am going to hold you to that Chris...we want CANS!
Dean! Good to see you. Yep, you've got it right, just add $18 to your pledge. As for coffee cans... Maybe for an expansion ;)
Congratulations Chris and Cherilyn this is the way to run a really great campaign. TMG could learn A LOT from you and they way you treat your backers. I wasn't sure if I was going to back this as it didn't thrill me at first and like Doug I am not sure how often it will make it but I love your games and decided to throw some money at it. I really can't wait until that fishing game...are we going to have to wait till fall for Take the Bait?
And just to be sure if we want the full set of Brewples we just add $18 to our pledge and note that on the survey right?
Okay Chris....we have done so well...what is it going to take to get a VivaJava coffee can included? Come on, you know how cool that would be. Call Folgers and we would all chip in a few bucks to make that happen.
Is it too late to lobby for a brewple with red hair? LOL
A big congrats to Dice Hate Me Games. This project is a shining example of how one should approach and manage a Kickstarter campaign from start to finish. Plus, just when I think this project couldn't possibly go up any higher, I am pleasantly surprised by a new funding level being reached. Looking forward to seeing the final product and getting this great game on my gaming table! Congrats!
I Pledge INTERNATIONAL LIGHT ROAST $ 80 plus BREWPLES SET $ 23. Expect the game.Please edit the PDF which can be translated into rules for Japanese.
Thanks, James! That would be amazing.
Looking really good, TC, Chris & Cherilyn. Here's hoping for $60K!
Dice Hate Me: Better get that home page updated, people looking for the frist time today will not know about some of the great bonuses.
Kareem - it just moved into 8th place, you can see the entire list here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/72943/top-10-funded-boardgame-kickstarter-projects
Kareem - yup, it sure did! Exciting, huh? We keep yoyoing a little bit with a couple of dropped pledges, but we're maintaining our numbers. :)
Did VJ make the top 10? Woot!
Doug - welcome to the party, and thanks for the support! We're glad you took a second look at VivaJava, and you never know when you might have a large get-together and break it out. It really is an approachable game, very easy for new players to pick it up and feel comfortable about two or three rounds in. Thanks for the heads up on the project home page - we've been slacking on that! Cheers!
OK, Chris and Cherilyn... I had no plans on backing this game... none. But, once it hit the Top 10 Funded board/card games I had to do some research into the game and was wowed by it. I am not sure I will ever get my friends to play it, but I just love Dice Hate Me Games and would like to add my support. You ran another wonderful campaign, a lot of nice extras, great videos, plenty of updates and interaction on the comments section.
The Project Home section needs to be updated with the last two bonuses, I had to search to see what they were instead of just finding the info easily available. Overall, however, the campaign was great and the game looks like it could be a lot of fun. Congrats!
Tumbler lovers: Please see the FAQ for our response.
47.5 yay, what's the next goal?
Congratulations on passing the $47,500 goal with 36 hours to go! (now you just need to invent a $50k goal ;-)
Woot! Getting close to 47.5k!
Only 2k more to go!! We can do it gals (and guys)!
Tell your friends, tell your enemies, tell people you don't know! Thumb stuff on BGG, rant, rave and if you've the means, up your pledge (add in the Brewple set or Coffee to Go or both!).
Guan - As soon as Chris finishes up the box art, you wonderful Kickstarter backers will be the first to see it :)
After following it for the last week, and the good reviews on BGG from PrezCon, I finally decided to back this project. Just doing my part to reach the $47,500 target. There aren't many good boardgames for 6+ players, so congratulations on designing a game that has some depth, but also plays relatively quickly.
I can't wait till AUGUST lol........ Just Backed!! anychance to see how will the outer box look like ??
Allen - Thanks for the great game at PrezCon (it was truly epic), and for the support! We're really glad you liked your VivaJava experience. :)
Many thanks to T.C. and Chris for demoing VivaJava with me & my friends at PrezCon on Saturday! I really enjoyed the game and am glad I was able to back your project before the Kickstarter promotion ended. I can't wait to play this again!
I seem to remember chanting something similar a few days ago . . . "Need new Stretch Goal!" "Need new Stretch Goal!" "Need new Stretch Goal!" :o) So excited about the success of this project.
Achievement Unlocked!
Wow, we just flew to the $40K stretch goal ridiculously quickly! Congrats on a super-successful Kickstarter campaign. I'm excited to see what else is in store for this game and this company. Way to go, everyone!
FINE! ... Twist my arm. Put a gun to my head. Threaten my family. I'll bump it to $40,000.
I really need to have less coffee in the mornings....
