It’s like the Newlywed Game, Truth or Dare, and Cards Against Humanity had a pretty awesome threesome.
We did not anticipate that would so quickly but all 20 first responders/email addicts have now each gifted a game to their besties.
The CoolCat is strong with this group so we'll definitely find more ways to get free games out to your favorite party pals in the future :)
After a perilous trip across the mighty Pacific, a beautiful pallet of CoolCats and AssHats will be arriving at Amazon's distribution center this Monday. That means...
To say thank you again for supporting us, we'd like to send some free games out on your behalf. The first 20 people who email us at [email protected] with their friend's full name and address get to spread the love. We'll send a game to anyone you want. So, if you're on the verge of a breakup, or a friendship has recently been rocky, CoolCats & AssHats mends all wounds.
When your game arrives you should immediately do the following:
It's almost game time. We'll send another update out next week as games are en route to your mailbox.
This is kind of important because we need to get you your game. If you haven't answered your survey yet or if your address has changed, make sure you update it right now. Here's how:
If you want to add the booster pack or another game to your order, you can also do that on the same page.
Easy as pie.
We are really stoked to type this...
We received a set for the final "OK" last week and it looks freaking awesome. Check out our poorly filmed unboxing video (the accompanying music was not unintentional)...
Here are some shots of the box and cards...
And the NSFW Booster Pack...
As you read this, all of our games are sitting on a pallet in a Chinese card game/hubcap factory just east of Shenzhen. The games are expected to board S.S. America on August 9th. Pray for calm seas as they circumnavigate the mighty Pacific. It'll take about 4 weeks for them to arrive in the beautiful US of A. Then Amazon will go to work and will be shipping everyone their game throughout the month of September.
What does that mean?
If you don't fill out your survey, you won't get a game. As Tupac said, that's just the way it is. If you've already filled out your survey, but your shipping address has changed, it needs to be updated by 8/15. Otherwise, you're going to give some random dude/chick your set of CoolCats.
To complete or update your survey, go to coolcats-and-asshats.backerkit.com.
If you're having trouble doing either, just shoot us an email at [email protected].
Pretty soon you'll be getting an epic delivery from your local mailman...
It's been about a month so we wanted to check in. We promise we didn't take all your money and bet against his majesty, King James. We only lost half of it.
All joking aside, the production process is cruising along.
As first-time game creators, we're learning that the art finalization process isn't quick. There's a lot of detailed back and forth. We're working with Ad Magic (the same guys who make cards against humanity) and the game is being made in China. There's a bit more complexity with the language barrier (apparently they don't know what Girthy Dicks are), but we're working through it. We've been very diligent to ensure the final product is as snazzy as possible, so we appreciate your patience as we learn how to "do this the right way."
As for our progress? We just received final, physical proofs from the printer.
The box and cards look awesome and the quality is top notch. Check it out...
Main Game Box:
NSFW Booster Pack Tuck Box (will be just like a deck of cards):
Card Fronts and Backs:
They're the same size as standard playing cards.
Pretty cool, right?
Well, we're giving the printer final approval today to queue up the entire order for production. They estimate it will take about 3.5 months to produce and ship everything to the US. Therefore, you should expect to see your games arriving around mid-October. As the weather turns and we all head indoors, you'll have the coolest fucking game on the planet to unleash on your unsuspecting friends!
Final note...33 of you still haven't filled out your BackerKit surveys. It's vital you do so we can send your game to the right spot. Check your email and do it now. Please and thank you.
Until next time.
