Our Summer 2024 Reprint Campaign is live on Gamefound.
🕑 Added 2024-07-30 12:30:01 +0000 UTCButton Shy Reprint Campaign - Summer 2024 is live on Gamefound. Every club member receives a discount based on their backer 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 game being reprinted and you will receive your credit at the end.
The first important thing is the campaign link:
Button Shy Reprint Campaign Summer 2024
We are starting with four games:
Death Valley (plus Death Valley: Panamint City expansion)
Death Valley: Highs & Lows a BRAND NEW, standalone expansion for Death Valley
Pizza Pizza Yum Yum (plus a BRAND NEW expansion, Pizza Pizza Yum Yum: Spicy Jalapeños)
Super Slopes (plus Super Slopes: Snow Report expansion).
As we hit funding milestones, new games will be unlocked for voting.
WHAT WILL BE IN FUTURE PACKAGES?
Death Valley: Highs & Lows will be the Featured Wallet Game in a future club package and the print and play files will be shared with all paid supporters during the same month. The new Pizza Pizza Yum Yum: Spicy Jalapeño expansion being released as part of the campaign will be included in future club content.
The reprinted wallet games and expansions will not be Featured Games in any future Board Game of the Month Club packages; you will be able to switch the wallet games in if your club level includes one, but we do not know for how long.
HERE'S HOW TO PLEDGE AS A CLUB MEMBER AT GAMEFOUND:
Your club discount is already applied at Gamefound to the email address linked to your Patreon subscription. There is no BGotMC level, so just choose the number of games you want as your reward.
A few quick notes:
You must pledge for at least 1 wallet game to use your discount. If you pledge for expansions only, the credit will exceed the cost and we will have to cancel the pledge.
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 three games we are starting the campaign with. The next is unlocked as stretch goals are announced.
Sunlight glaring through the windshield. Your favorite songs blasting through the speakers. Candy bar wrappers piled next to a warm drink in the cheap plastic cupholder. Your companion riding in the passenger seat, snapping pictures of landmarks as you settle into the hypnotic rhythm of the road. But be careful as this fun road trip could get dangerous as you drive through Death Valley.
Death Valley is a push-your-luck, tableau-building game for 1-2 players, with each traveler striving to assemble the best mix of cards in their journey and scrapbook in order to win the game.
Each turn, players choose whether to assign a card to their journey, or move cards from their journey to their scrapbook. Cards feature stars (points), special abilities (which affect the value and position of cards), and some interesting facts about Death Valley. Each card also lists a hazard: heat, terrain, flood or animals. Having three of the same hazard visible in their tableau causes the player to bust and lose all the progress in their journey.
At the end of the game, players sum the stars in their journey and any additional points from card abilities to determine who wins.
Death Valley was a top-three finalist in Button Shy's 18-Card Challenge: Design a game about a real life location.
Death Valley: Highs & Lows is the second entry in the Death Valley series. Its 18 cards can be played as a standalone game or combined with the previous Death Valley game to create an all-new set of 18 cards every time you play.
Order up! Your shop is known for the tastiest pizza pies. But in this chaotic kitchen, miscommunications lead to mixed-up toppings and mad customers. Work together to keep the pizza party going!
Pizza Pizza Yum Yum is a cooperative game played over three rounds. Each round, you will be making two pizzas with your partner. Scoring criteria will be face-down, and communication is restricted, so you will need to be in sync for a high score!
Meld minds with your friend and tackle the challenge in Pizza Pizza Yum Yum. Over the course of the round you’ll both be playing Pizzas out, and Yum cards to determine scoring. Those Yum cards are vital, showing what ingredients score for the pizza. However, you don’t know which ones your partner plays nor where - making it a test of how well you can plan without overtly expressing those plans. Do you think you have what it takes to topple the 30-point threshold in order to secure victory? Or will your delivery end up running a little behind, leaving you short on tips for the evening? Check this one out if you enjoy quick, cooperative challenges with a friend.
It’s a fresh powder day on the ski slopes! Pick the best routes down the mountain throughout the day to put together one final epic ski run at the end.
On your turn, choose a route on the community row of cards and claim the card at the end of that route. Add this card to your personal tableau, creating a maze of intertwining ski runs. At the end of the game, choose one of the runs in your tableau and get awarded points based on its features. Shapes and energy bars earn you points while Yeti and trees should be avoided. The player with the most points wins!
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.

PSA: The voters unlocked so far… Twin Stars: Adventure Series I Wonder Tales I know many people have been looking for these and wanted to spread the word a bit.

I believe the credit is there whether we back or not. It won’t use it unless we do back it.
Liz Cohn
I am lucky enough to own all the games offered. Can I just donate my credit back to you?
