Ahoy, beloved brethren - we hit $100,000 and more than 1500 backers!


We are humbled by all the support as a teeny-weeny company, and over the moon that so many of you want to be a part of getting this game made! A massive and sincere THANK YOU!


Ye dug up the TREASURE CHESTS, mateys!


We're designing super piratey TREASURE CHESTS to hold yer cannonballs durin’ gameplay. Made of FSC-certified high quality punch board, they are sure to put you even MORE in the plunderin’ pillagin’ privateerin’ mood (Oh and we are hoping to upgrade these to laser-cut wood). Extra bonus is yer cats (the original pirates) can’t steal ‘em from ye and hide ‘em if the balls are safely tucked away in this chest of GLORY!


What’s up next? Only the most exxxxxtra of stretch goals, the eXtra marks the spot - a mega upgraded version of the original X Marks The Spot, made of the best quality laser-cut wood.


And of course, leave those life preservers on and practice yer laps, cuz the KRAKEN continues its deadly approach….


We have already completed the action of 2000 backers, and are only 69 followers away from hitting 3250 on Instagram… and unlocking the next stretch goal.

The ship is going into the dry dock for a major upgrade! Circle-shaped cut-outs will be in every square for an even more satisfactory landing of your cannonballs. Those balls will sit snugly in the holes, plus the holes will reveal what treasures are hiding below deck! 

Actions:

Raised: $70,000

Total Backers: 1406

FB campaign shares: 300

We’ve asked our manufacturer to send us a sample of the improvements that will be with us in the next week! Can't wait to show you all. Thanks for making this possible!


NEXT UP:

Four snazzy treasure chests to keep your balls safe during play!*

Pledge levels First Mate and up! Quartermaster will automatically come with six treasure chests.

Check out the page for more Pirate actions to unlock them even faster than we have already.


The KRAKEN is getting dangerously close!

*does not guarantee protection from cats!

Ye've done it now, crew.


All of yer dastardly pirate ways are making the kraken ANGRY.


With every unlocked stretch goal, the kraken is swimming closer and closer to ship. Any guesses on what it will do??


Time to batten down the hatches, we're in for a very bumpy ride!

Ye dug up the NAME YER VESSEL celebration kit! Here's what's next...

MAJOR PIRATE MOMENT! Don't mind us, we're just a bit giddy over this one... the NAME YER VESSEL celebration kit has been officially unlocked! We can't wait to hear everyones ship names. Shippy McDee? The Rakish Rainpuddle? The Bilgin' Barkadeer? Ok, we'll stop.


We only need 25 for the next action and it's really fun (we promise we tried it) - stand on your doorstep and shout, "AAARRGH" announcing your status as a tried 'n true PIRATE to the neighborhood! Counts as 2 if a neighbor shouts "AAARGH" back to you. Also an extra point if your kid or roommate joins you (but mine never wanted to stop yellin' so be prepared).


ALSO: We have been pilin' up the IG follows, we're now 220 away from 3250.


NEXT STRETCH GOAL - Galleons in the Gangway ! When this goal is unlocked... TREASURE awaits ye below deck...

CARD REVEAL: Here's the official Red Cannonball card, so stoked to include this!

David had his R&R and updated the page! And we can now introduce the Red Cannonball card - Stretch goal 3!

We're so close to the NAME YER VESSEL celebration kit...Will you call it The Mighty Dubloon Damsel? The Sailin’ Steve? The…… Pickaroonin’ Pickle? Comment below with your ship name ideas!

AND we have cracked another action - we made it to 3000 Instagram followers, next up 3250! Next up - we are 42 Facebook shares away from hitting 100. Here's that share link: bit.ly/3CD5uIM

If you were all really pirates sailing the golden coast, you would MOST DEF be the most feared in the land for your sheer power and prowess.
