Button Shy Reprint Campaign - Late 2025 - is live on Gamefound.
🕑 Added 2025-11-04 13:30:02 +0000 UTCButton Shy Reprint Campaign - Late 2025 is live on Gamefound.
This campaign starts with 3 games we have repeatedly been asked to restock by our fans: Cortica (2 player), The Maiden in the Forest (1 Player), and Why I Otter (2 player)
We simply could not reprint Why I Otter without offering its sequel, An Otter Won (2 player), and we are also launching a brand new standalone game in the Otterverse, Otter Chaos (2 player).
The first important thing is the campaign link:
https://gamefound.com/en/projects/button-shy-games/reprintcampaignlate2025
As in previous reprint campaigns there will be the chance for supporters to vote for other games to be reprinted. If there's a game you've been waiting for, this is your chance to shout about it and convince everyone to want it too!
WHAT WILL BE IN FUTURE PACKAGES?
Supporters of levels including a wallet game ($18+):
Otter Chaos will be offered as the Featured Wallet Game in a future BGotMC package.
Button Shy Supporter ($5) and Digital Only levels:
The link to the PNP file for Otter Chaos will be shared here at Patreon.
The reprinted wallet games will not be Featured Games in any future Board Game of the Month Club packages; you will be able to switch them in if your club level includes a wallet game, but we do not know for how long.
HERE'S HOW TO PLEDGE AS A CLUB MEMBER AT GAMEFOUND:
Every club member receives a discount based on their Patreon support level - it's either $1, $3 or $5, one flat amount no matter how many wallet games you buy at Gamefound. We will be sending everyone an email at their Patreon email address shortly after the campaign launches. That email address will have a credit at Gamefound for this campaign in the discount amount for your level. Using that email and link, you can then pledge in the campaign if you want any of the games being reprinted and you will receive your credit at the end. There is no BGotMC level, so just choose the number of games you want as your reward.
NOTE: If you use a different email address at Gamefound and Patreon, please email buttonshyhelp@gmail.com and we can apply the discount to your preferred account. Let us know both your Patreon and Gamefound email addresses.
These are the games we are starting the campaign with.
Cork (Cortiça, in Portuguese. /kuɾˈti.sɐ/) can be used to make a variety of products and Portugal is the world's largest producer of cork. Cork Oak trees take 25-30 years to mature, and their bark is extracted every 9 years. Play as competing farmers, aiming to harvest the most corks.
Cortiça is a 2 player miniature worker placement game about cork!
Long ago, a maiden mage was trapped in an enchanted forest ring. Through her cunning, and with the help of four magic objects, she attempts to escape her fate.
The Maiden in the Forest is an 18-card solitaire game.
Who will recruit the best Otters to their den?
Why I Otter is a 2 player open drafting, trick-taking game with a rock-paper-scissors style mechanic.
It's not easy making a cool otter den. You'll want to influence the best otters to hang out in yours. And often you’ll get to decide which otter goes where. Do you want this otter? Or an otter won?
An Otter Won is a 2 player open drafting, trick-taking game. It is the spiritual sequel to Why I Otter, taking everything up a notch (including the ridiculous otters).
A terrible storm has destroyed the otter den, and the fractious otters can’t agree on a new home. Convince the other otters that your favorite environment is the best choice to avoid otter chaos!
Otter Chaos is a 2 player set collection, trick-taking game.
There are so many more details on the Gamefound page. Head over there for everything you need to know about the games and voting for more reprints.

No additional games will come to the club as they are all reprints

BGOTMC member here. So far, I have all of the games… Otter Chaos when it is released. Any additional games reprinted are guaranteed to not be part of future mailings, correct? (so if something comes up that I don’t have I should order it with this campaign)
