If you have a brick & mortar game store and want to know about options for wholesale, you can contact me here.
I have a Kickstarter campaign for Crazier Eights (found here). Kickstarter is a crowd funding site. If I reach the funding goal ($5,000), then the game will be manufactured and everyone will be able to get a copy of the game. There are ways to get the game from the Kickstarter campaign. If it does not reach the funding goal, no one loses any money and every reward level will still have access to the print & play version of the game anyway.
There’s less than two days left — The Fourth of July is the final day.
This is pretty much your last chance to help out. If you want the project to succeed, I advise you to share this project on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere else appropriate. You can tell a friend who might also be interested.
Another thing you can do is talk about the game on Board Game Geek. There are forums for Crazier Eights on Board Game Geek (found here), and I will participate in conversations about the game there.
Whether the game reaches the goal or not, you might want to follow this site and the Crazier Eights Facebook page to keep in touch and find out what happens next.
All the regular cards and promo cards have been updated to have the new look, and you can see all the cards here. The new look can be compared to the old look. Go here to see what the spoiler looked like a while back.
If the Crazier Eights Kickstarter campaign reaches $6000, then the following three cards will be made for every physical copy of Crazier Eights made from the Kickstarter campaign:
Keep in minds that these cards are prototypes, so the final version of the cards could be somewhat different.
These promos were selected from six different cards I thought of a while back. Go here to see them all.
I asked people what they want the cards to look like, and this was the most popular option. This is what I plan for the cards to look like. I have to get to work to make sure all the cards use the new look. Take a look at the cards below. Continue reading
Update (7/21/15): The Advanced version is now going to be the Second Edition. You can see the spoiler here.
Advanced Crazier Eights is related to various stretch goals on the Crazier Eights Kickstarter Campaign. Here are eight cards from the Advanced Crazier Eights prototype. Three of them were already shown, and five of them are here because there’s now 30 likes on the Crazier Eights Facebook page, and five will be shown for every 25 likes on the Facebook fan page. (That’s a good place to keep in touch and let me know what your preferences are.) Continue reading
There’s a good chance that the colors and suit symbol associations will be changed to be pretty much what was discussed as option 4 in part 1. (Go here to take a look.) I am thinking that I will keep the Sun symbol for orange, but I could use a star symbol instead.
Now I have four more ideas for changing the layout and look of the cards that I am considering. Take a look, and let me know what you think. Continue reading
I said that if the Crazier Eights Kickstarter Campaign gets overfunded (by reaching $6,000) that I would include some new promo cards with each copy of the game (at least the copies that are made from the Kickstarter funding). I haven’t decided what they should be yet, but I thought of some new ideas. I am thinking that three new cards would be included. Let me know what you think. Continue reading
There are many opportunities for anyone in the San Jose area to play games of Crazier Eights. I have been going to various stores to demo the game. Here are the current places and times I will have demos:
I have been advertising on Board Game Geek (out of pocket) and found out which of my banners were doing very well or poorly. This is the information I got for three different banner sizes after advertising there for four or five days.
One difficult question is what banner ads will actually do well. Board Game Geek will allow you to submit several banner ads, and they can tell you which ones are working well (and they make sure the use effective banner ads the most). Continue reading
