Excited to say design on the first base set is completed! Currently we are play testing to dial in game mechanics and make sure the gameplay is up to par and we did not miss anything. To make a first prototype deck rather then send to a print manufacturer, we printed sheets from a local retailer and cut them out by hand then taped them to existing TCG cards we had already. We did this for a few reasons.

1. This was the most cost effective solution we could find to get a deck in hand and start to perfect play. We couldn't wait to dive right into the game!

2. The fastest way to complete a prototype as sending to a manufacturer we would be waiting for print and shipping times. The print run from a local retailer we received back the same day we placed the order.

3. Easy for us to make changes, once printed we wanted to scrutinize every little detail to update any needed game mechanics or changes. Our goal is to make sure the gameplay experience is not only fun but easy to learn and play for all ages.

Once playtesting is complete we will proceed with any necessary changes and print one more run locally for a final check before sending to a manufacturer for the final product. We are also working on a few bonus items and surprises that are going to be exclusive for our Kickstarter launch backers. Once a finalized deck is in hand, the page will go up on pre-launch before we run the Campaign.

Thank you for following us on our journey and we look forward to more updates soon!
