How was this game developed?
David and Julian were growing more and more frustrated with the amount of plastic in the game and toy industries. They wanted to create a dexterity game that could be played at drinking parties, family gatherings, or by seasoned gamers - but without a bunch of plastic. It had to be heavy on laughs, but easy on the environment. After taking a deep dive into the world of pop-up books, and through a series of prototypes they built by hand, Fire In The Hole was eventually born.

How replayable is Fire In The Hole?
Every time you play, the game will be different as there is no way to predict where those pesky cannonballs will end up! We also encourage folks to get creative - need to step up to a more advanced level? Try throwing from further away or limiting how players can throw. Need it a bit easier for the kiddos? Maybe allow them to drop the balls in, or take some of the sabotage cards out.

How many people can play?
The game supports up to 4 players, but we have an expansion pack for up to 6 in our pledge levels.

Can kids play?
The game is for kids 7 and up, as it requires reading the cards. Feel free to adapt the game to suit your kiddos - a couple of ideas for ways you could do this are by drawing one card at a time rather than holding a hand of four, and by letting them lean over the ship a bit when throwing.

How long does it take to learn and play?
About 5 minutes to learn, playing time can be anywhere from 10 minutes to 45 minutes, depending on how ruthless you are with the sabotage cards and how big your table is.

Can I purchase any of the stretch goals, additional copies or other games individually?
Regardless of which pledge tier you choose, you can add on items from other pledge levels, more stretch goals, additional copies, etc at checkout.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
