Hierarchy is live on Kickstarter! Here are your discount details
🕑 Added 2019-10-08 14:53:09 +0000 UTCFirst a quick update (as always): October is ridiculous. That might be all I need to say. But to add to that, we should have the last parts of our August packages here in about a week to 10 days and start prepping them for mail. The REAL TRICKY PART is that I'm heading to Germany for our very first Essen so it'll likely be right in the middle of getting these out. So expect August to go out from now until the end of October. September may go out right around the same time, as most of it is here as well.
Along with that, we're sending out our next T-Shirt roundup very soon (maybe tomorrow), so $20+ members keep an eye out for that.
And we have been working real hard on 2020 content, and I cannot wait to have something to share. Some images are trickling in, so it'll be soon.
Now onto Hierarchy!
Our newest game, Hierarchy, is live on Kickstarter. As a member you will receive a discount, and all of the details are below. Any questions, just ask!

So what's the game all about?
In the Kingdom of Darkhill, order and power mean everything. The royalty reign supreme, but alongside of their control are the plotting citizens, planning to get ahead using any means possible.
Hierarchy is an abstract game of order and power where players each take a random set of 7 cards and play them openly, until they cannot play any more. Cards must be played atop a card of a lesser value, unless either the last card or the new card change those rules. When the active player can no longer play a card, their opponent has won the game and has taken the seat of power away from their opponent.
The object of Hierarchy is to put your opponent in a position where they are unable to play a card. This might be as simple as them running out of cards - part of the disadvantage of going first in the game - or you invalidating all of their potential plays. Each player will get 7 cards, and whomever is dealt the Imposter will go first. Because the game is one of perfect information, you will always be able to see what tricks your opponent is capable of pulling off. The ability to evaluate both players' cards and to anticipate your opponent's reactions is a key to being successful.
Here's the link again. Thanks everyone!

Check Patreon posts. Jason just put up another one for t-shirts. =)
Alicia Morse
Hi, I still have never received a t-shirt despite being a $20 supporter for a couple years now. I have commented multiple times when you ask who hasn’t gotten one but somehow never get one. Am I doing something incorrectly? I would need an adult size medium. Thanks!
Matthew Mitchell
Your patron discount is for 1 order per month. So you would only get a total discount of $5 regardless of how much you're pledging for.
Chris Mascioli
I want all 3 games, does the discount stack (33 to 18) or just once (33 to 28) for $10 patrons?
Eric Anderson
I have a suggestion. I backed with an extra for SpaceShipped (which looks really cool), minus club discount, so it went into the custom-amount club bucket. I'm starting to see how these things work, and I'm expecting a survey of some kind when it ends, to fill in what my pledge was for. But I don't see any statement that that's how it works, and nothing's asked me so far what I was pledging for. I think it would be worth stating somewhere that a survey will come out later (or whatever's true).
Iain Davidson
just backed it - I would LOVE to get Turbo Drift but it's always out of print - any chance there's a copy hiding down the back of a sofa somewhere I could get when Hierarchy ships? Also happy to wait until it's back in stock and ship them together? Thank for considering it...
Sarah Penshorn
Thank you!
Matthew Mitchell
Yes. Hierarchy won't be a featured game for a few months yet.
Sarah Penshorn
If we Joined in October, will we still receive Hierarchy as the featured game?
Button Shy
I’ll make a note to do some inventory and get them on the site.
Button Shy
No you do not. It’ll be a featured game here and you’ll get it automatically (unless you want a different one)
Nick Ulle
I wonder the same thing about the Perfect Moment mini-expansion from July.
Daniel Nelon
Also, is there any way of getting the Handsome, In Vino Morte, or Anthelion mini-expansions?
Daniel Nelon
Apologies if this is covered somewhere and I missed it. I became a $20 Tier Patron in September. Above, it states that we’ll receive Hierarchy as a featured game. Does this mean we still need to pledge at the $1 amount?
CountryYokel
Backed Hierarchy and now joined the Button Shy BGotM. Looking forward to some Chain Mail in the near future! :-)
Button Shy
Your first payment should come out Nov 1, and your first package will be November. I’m making it my top priority to have that out in November.
Andrew DeFalco
If we joined in October when does the shipping start?
