Greetings Game Topper Nation!
Happy Father's day to all!
Game playing has been on the back burner for a while due to crazy work load running a Kickstarter and leaving for The Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio today. 😪 This update I give a bit of personal background as you can get know the "Burky" crew a bit and discuss some new Stretch Goals.
My children came over for breakfast Sat morning to celebrate Father's Day, and we carved out a couple of hours to play two fun games we enjoy. Love this simple to learn game from our friends at Capstone Games - Wandering Towers -such a fun puzzle, and a classic dice worker placements game we love in Kingsburg.
Join us at Origins in Columbus, Ohio. We have 301 new Origins play mats we are delivering for the open play area. (We will send more pics) It's a glorious area of upgraded fun for everyone!!! We are open Wed the 18th from 9AM - 7PM beings we are in Hall C booth c2119. #MeetusundertheTopHat! It's a great meet up spot! Love to see you there. We will showing our two new Viking and High Fantasy engraved tables!
I'll keep try to keep this post short and just mention that we have passed the 300% threshold. Thank you so much!!! We would love to get to 1000 % This is very possible with your help, and given we have a ton of media and advertising efforts going to get eyes on the campaign. The offers we are making now to save people money on the Toppers and shipping worldwide is really spectacular in a world where everything has been going up. So this is a great time to get a Game Topper or if you already own one, a great time to add to your game nights, or let some of your friends know that this is an awesome opportunity.
I have planned some really cool Stretch Goals and what we call Backer Loyalty goals that reduce the cost on items that we offer to further enhance your upgraded experience. Here are a couple I want to share.
We have have an amazing high resin powder coated dining cover option at reduced prices in this campaign, and I want to unlock an amazing savings for you!!! It is our storage bag for the cover leaves. It features heavy duty dense padding and a padded separating flap to protect each piece. Heavy reinforced strap and zippers. It is really a nice bag, when you see it you will understand we did not spare any expense. It would have been easy to make a cheap $20 fabric bag. ...but NO, we are not going to do it!
If we unlock this, we are going to give it to you Free!! Yup, $79.00 Value. Mic drop 🎤🎤.
If you like deck builders, this space themed mat is amazing by Jay Shelanskey! I love playing Star Realms, Star Wars- the deck builder and Star Wars Unlimited on it, but it works for so many other game too, with just the right 30" x 38" footprint. ...and of course it has our premium 3.6 mm double stitched edge treatment. Only the best for my backers! It also comes with the premium storage bag!
This was a guilty pleasure and a bit indulgent, but due to my love for Baseball Highlights 2045 by Mike Fitzgerald I had to do this. I adore this game, it is my favorite 2 player game of all time. (Little known fact, I am the currently the Worlds Champion and have the commissioner Ralph trophy to prove it. lol 😂😂 That information and a quarter might get you a cup of coffee at McDonalds. I even have promo card in the game. If you see me at a show and ask I would be happy to give you this much sought after Burky Puckett promo card. I know I'm delusional. .. but Ralphie is not.
Well, there was some mixed in behind the scenes from me. I like to be transparent and share my life with people. I hope in a small way that it provides some levity, interest and encouragement in these crazy time we live in. Really this hobby has enriched my life in so many ways, I also what to give back and be a good ambassador. I hope Game Toppers has helped upgrade your gaming experience.
We would love to have you share your comments in the comments section on the campaign and tell others in your Facebook groups and circles of influence. That really is what keeps this dream alive.
Thanks so much everyone! I will try to have another update up Tuesday morning. We'll see how the traveling goes.
As always if you have any concerns or questions please email Josiah at [email protected] or sales related [email protected]
All the best!
Burky and team!
