Update #17 · Feb 28, 2012 · 11 comments

You did it! You guys are amazing, and we knew you could do it. Now everyone can enjoy the Featured Blends in each box of VivaJava. 

At this point, some of you are probably wondering "what's next?" Well, to be completely honest, we've hit a bit of a ceiling. It's difficult to add anything more to the game because we've reached our limit for both creative additions (without upsetting the balance of the game) and also in regards to production costs. We definitely want to reward everyone for each dollar above the last stretch goal, but the only way we know to do that is with some digital goodies - and a little something special. So, everyone who pledges for a copy of VivaJava will not only receive an awesome game, the burlap Bean Bag, a hand-crafted, random Brewple, Roaster Coins and Featured Blend Cards, and some cool digital downloads like music and wallpapers, they will also be privy to backers-only updates on the next prototypes being developed by T.C. Petty III, as well as Cherilyn & Chris at Dice Hate Me Games. You'll all know the details of cool upcoming projects before anyone else - membership has its privileges!

What's really super swell about all the incredible support is that you all have catapulted us into the #11 spot for all-time funded board games on Kickstarter, and we're only a few hundred dollars away from #10. This is incredible. Can we reach #9, at just around $51.4K? Can we reach #8 at $56K? No matter what, everyone who has helped make VivaJava a reality should be proud of the effort and realize that you are all a part of something very special.

Thank you and we love you all!
Cherilyn & Chris.

      I would personally love to see a "Sip the Rainbow" wallpaper download available. ;o) Speaking of that awesome motto, would it be possible to add an amount to my pledge to JUST get the "Sip the Rainbow" tumbler? I have more than enough totes in my house already. I just love, love, LOVE that tumbler's motto!

      Fantastic - this is one of the really amazing things about Kickstarter, that an individual who would never be able to write a big cheque to someone with a great idea can get together with a group of others and write that cheque together. The game looks amazing, but for me personally, it has been the spirit and humour and engagement that the creators have brought to the Kickstarter process that got me to donate bigger than I was originally planning. Roll on August !

      Congrats. At this point, I feel like a fan of a Superbowl winner. There's nothing more to do than enjoy the victory. Although I know that my solitary fandom doesn't do much for the team, the emotional and financial support of all the fans has a profound and quantifiable effect on the organization. I am just happy to have helped make a dream a reality, a dream which will bring fun and enjoyment to so many around the world. August cannot get here fast enough.
