WE DID IT!!!!
The Kickstarter, and we did it! Boy did we ever! Not only did we reach the $25K we set out for, we got all the way up to $34,247! 136% of our goal!

Thank you thank you THANK YOU!! We have been overwhelmed by your support and donations, and we are so very grateful. When Cognition comes out and you sit down to play it, do so knowing that YOU helped make it happen!
More information will be coming soon for the backers, as well as surveys to get the information we need to get your rewards to you and so forth. So keep an eye out for those as we move forward and please get the information back to us soon--if we don't get that information from you, we may not be able to get you the rewards you signed up for. And no one wants that!
And once again, because it can't be said enough: THANK YOU!!!
