Happy Saturday Duffers!
I've got a full and fun Update for everyone with just five days to go in the campaign.
New Twosome Tier
Gear Giveaway
Building Synergy
New Twosome Tier
That's right, there's a new tier to pledge for those who want to get the game and know someone who would love it, too. The Duffers Twosome comes with two games -- one for you and one to give (or keep as backup). Plus you can choose a greeting card we'll include in the package for: Mother's Day, Father's Day, or Birthday x2 (I'm taking suggestions for additional occasions in the comments -- Graduation?). You'll save a couple bucks on shipping, too. So get a game for yourself and gift one to your parents, your sibling(s), your local game cafe, a deserving senior center…
The Duffers Social Team (me again) is looking to hit triple digit followers on Twitter. We're like 21 away from 100 as of this Update. Really, I just like the roundness of the number. To say thanks, we've got 4 (Four) Duffers Brand™ Lucky Visors to give away Monday mid-day. The drawing will be random from all the Twitter followers. Retweet the original post for an extra entry. You can even pick the logo/color combo you want.
Building Synergy
One of the things we want in future versions/expansions of the game is to capture the passion golfers have for their equipment, from their brand of clubs to the golf tees they swear by. Maybe one day there'll even be a FALKO glove in the game. They've got a Kickstarter running right now for their super-grippy, super-breathable glove. If you're a golfer, you should check it out. Why should TaylorMade have all the fun?
Get a sneak peak of their glove right here:
Keep your eye out for Update emails because there's more to come as the campaign hits the home stretch.
Happy gaming!

Everyone Should Stretch Before They Play

Thank you, Duffers! We made it to 50% Funding (and then some).
As promised, I've updated the site with Stretch Goals! Here's a preview of the five now live (including the very important goal of 100% Funding)
Gotta start with funding the box…
Let's invite some new folks to the party.
Better stuff in the bag means lower score on the course. Right?
Poster for your wall or handy placement guide when you've forgotten your mat.
Each player can have their own cheat sheet, er, card.
Plus, there's more to come including New Holes, a Digital Duffers Scorecard App, a new Solo Mode, and even an expansion. But first let's focus on the funding goal and make that happen!

Making a Charge on the Back Nine

Hello Duffers!
We've got nine days to go and edge ever closer to the goal -- and over 130 believers -- I love it! In this update, we've got:
Duffers Sharables
A 3rd-Party Preview Playthrough
Happy Tuesday (or Putting the Cart before the Holes)
DUFFERS SHARABLES
If you want to help out and spread the word about Duffers, I've made a few graphics guaranteed to grab attention in your feed. They start at a gentle nudge and go up from there. You can "Save As" the images straight from this page or download all four directly.
A 3RD-PARTY PREVIEW PLAYTHROUGH
Josh and Heather from The Molten Meeple did a live preview of the game last night on Facebook. The pair played four random Holes and were kind enough to record and upload it to YouTube for our perusal. If you want to get to the good stuff and see how a Hole is completed, you can scrub ahead to 17:40 in the video. But please feel free to watch in its entirety.
HAPPY TUESDAY (OR PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HOLES)
Every now and again, I dream of what’s next for Duffers -- you know, once it's shipping and all. This week it was creating a Special Edition Duffers for Happy Gilmore to celebrate the movie’s 25th Anniversary. I tweeted at Happy and Chubbs about it. Victoria, Shooter, and Otto (the caddie), too. Still waiting for a reply. In the meantime, enjoy these cards I made as teasers.
That's it for today.
Happy Gaming!

Good morning, Duffers!
We had a big day yesterday, breaking 100 Backers (you guys are the best!) and arriving at the brink of 50% FUNDED!
I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty exciting -- so exciting that once we reach 50%, I'll share our first three Stretch Goals.
I know we can do it today! We only need to follow the advice of Chubbs Peterson and…

Mail Came!

We must have been the last delivery of the day, but the latest version of the game arrived tonight! The Game Crafter did an amazing job. I am over the moon.
The Shipping Box (ok, this shot may only have been exciting for me, 'cause I knew what was inside)
Playmat sample (the final version will be bigger) and the shrink-wrapped Duffers Box. But what's inside?
It just got real. The game looks even better in person (granted, I may be biased -- but only a little).
That's all I've got for tonight. Watch in the coming days for updates to the main story with additional photography, set up, and game play. Have a great weekend!
