Congrats! Small nit-pick: can we get a current Kickstarter link in the first post? Makes it easier to find.

I think my uncle knows him. He said he was dead.

Chris has been a member of the team since pretty early on. This is the first time he has run a demo game though.

Can I just say how happy I am that we made it to the goats?

So one of the most requested features I have been getting is a single player version of the game. The thing is that because a lot of the game depends on players to keep things moving I don't think a normal SP mode would work. About a week ago, another designer contacted me with an idea for score based scenarios and I really liked the idea. I've been showing the following to some of my closer balance testers and they seem to enjoy it but most are not traditional solo gamer's.
So I know that a lot of you guys play solo board-games. How would you feel about a mode like in the image? Basically a number of challenge based scenarios with unique variables.

I don't play much solo, but I can't imagine that wouldn't be a nice addition for many players. Would it add much more to the cost/time of development? If not, why not go for it!

I solo game occasionally, and I find that very cool. Another option never hurt.

I love the new fences you announced! I really hope we make it to that stretch goal.

So... what are the chances of a solo variant?

He's already added a couple solo scenarios unlocked through new social media goals.

Fixing the t-rex art really paid off.
Can't wait to play the game. I haven't gotten a shipping notification yet though. Can you look into that?
12 minutes later and not a word. Just like a KS dev to go silent!
We should have known this was coming..

So I just checked and KS took the money out of my bank account, but I still don't have a tracking number for my game! Unbelievable, I guess this will just be a loss...

Being on the back end of KS is actually kind of terrifying. I have to balance keeping almost 3,000 happy for a year. I also will likely not see any of the money from KS for about two weeks as well.

Yeah it seems like a ton of work. Hopefully most people are like me and just forget about most projects until shipping notices come. It's not that I'm not interested, I just purposely put them out of my mind.
Good luck though, it looks like a ton of work to keep the vocal ones pacified. I mean just look at the comments after the cool zombie t Rex stretch goal. People are crazy. There's just no way to please everyone. I assume most people are content and assume things are going as well as they can.

Yeah, that's the thing. I will just hang back and be pleasantly surprised when it shows up next year. That doesn't do much for the negativity on the comments page.

The whole T-Rex thing blew me away. It was literally a last minute goal we put together as a nice gesture in case we were able to hit $150,000. It never occurred to me that some people would be angry about getting something extra thrown in for free!

I will say that the biggest thing to do is COMMUNICATE! Even short posts once a week will help to stave off all but the most die hard critics regarding abandonment.

I'm pretty excited about this. And I have to wait a year! Reminds me of being a kid and waiting for Christmas.

The Dice Tower did their top 10 anticipated games for 2018 and while your game didn't make Tom's top 10 he did mention it in a group of games he was still "super pumped about". Below is a link to the spot in the video:
