We made it! Thank you everyone!!
Can hardly believe we made it, but here we are!
GotchaCards is 118% funded with 388 backers!
Kickstarter is going to do its thing and start collecting pledges, meanwhile we're going to take a little break to rest up. After the break, we're going to get started on our final revisions and make sure everything is print-ready as soon as possible.
Once we get through those preliminary steps, we'll let y'all know what our production timeline looks like.
Try out GotchaCards!
Remember, you can already try the game out on tabletop simulator OR print out the PDF on our "How to Play Page": https://gotcha-cards.com/howto
We'll also try to work in scheduling demo events, hope to have more news on that soon.
Thanks again, and please look forward to the next update!

Shipping Cost Error for the [Extra Deck] add-on!! (US only)
5 months ago
– Fri, Jun 14, 2024 at 12:33:11 PM
[This applies to US backers that selected the EXTRA DECK add-on.]
We just noticed an error on the EXTRA DECK add-on that we can't reverse at this point. It's automatically adding $3 shipping to the extra deck add-ons—but we aren't calculating shipping until after the campaign is over.
This likely got left in while we were calculating shipping estimates, but we didn't catch it until someone pointed it out today.
Resolutions
We made a copy of the add-on with the correct $0 shipping amounts set. Please update your pledge by removing your extra deck add-on and selecting this one instead to remove this shipping charge!
If you don't update it in time, we'll subtract this amount from your final shipping costs. If the amount exceeds your final shipping costs, we'll reach out and figure out how you'd like to handle the compensation.
If you're a local and receiving this add-on from local pickup, shipping isn't applicable and we'll offer equivalent compensation OR refund you the shipping amount.
We apologize for this error and appreciate your patience & support.

GotchaCards has 24 Hours Left!
At the time of this writing, we're 110% funded with 352 backers! Thank you to everyone who's supported the our card game project. We're still a little in shock that we've gotten this far, and while we're exhausted from running this project we can't wait to get this game into your hands!
Foil Decks Reminder!
Don't forget! Because they're expensive to make in small batches, the foil decks are exclusive to this Kickstarter campaign. If that's something you're interested in, please make sure you grab one before the campaign ends!
Backers can choose if they want their bonus cards to be regular or foiled! If your pledge qualifies, you'll get to pick the card finish in a question on the post-campaign survey.

GotchaCards EXTRA BONUS alts, revealed! (63 hours left)

GotchaCards Artist Bonus!
Since we've met our campaign goal, 10% of the funds raised are going towards additional compensation for the commissioned guest artists! We approached all of these artists with the budget we had in mind, and made sure they were paid in full by the time each piece of art was done and approved. We couldn't have gotten here without them, and we want to make sure they get a piece of the pie!
There's NO CAP on this bonus, so the more we raise—the more the guest artists get!
Here's the finished GotchaCards illustration by @bromojumbo!
IT'S SO COOOOOL
If you've pledged $30 USD or more, we'll include all three cards with your pledge rewards! You can do this by increasing your pledge or tacking on some cool add-ons. >:)
In our experience, the most successful route is to share GotchaCards with people in our lives, and they've really been into it! Please consider sharing GotchaCards with anyone you know IRL, or on the different social media you use:
GotchaCards is 100% Funded! New add-on and MORE BONUS CARDS!!

GotchaCards is FULLY Funded! 3 DAYS LEFT!!
At the time of this writing, the GotchaCards campaign is 103% funded, with 326 active backers! Thank you to everyone for supporting us so far!
To keep our production timeline tight, we don't have GRAND plans for stretch goals, but we do have a couple things to entice new (and current) backers!
NEW ADD-ON: Blank cards!
Our first prototype was a set of blank cards with hastily-scribbled sharpie. It's a humble place to start, and that initial burst of creativity gave us the foundation we needed to get where we're at now!
the pips are on WRONG, but this is how we learned
While we were developing new cards after our initial print tests, we made a set of blank cards with the beta GotchaCards cardback. This let us add in new stuff that blended into the deck without needing "finished" art, and we thought it'd be a great add-on item for players to grab and try out!
gaze into the void...
With that in mind, packs of 15 blank GotchaCards are now available as a reward add-on, for $4 USD each! Grab a set and make up your own cards, your own rules!
get a set of 15 blank cards, available now!!
FOIL Deck Announcement!
We love the 100% foil decks, but to focus on the future of GotchaCards we can't reliably keep them in stock. We may make them available in large preorder batches, but for now the 100% foil decks are going to be exclusive to this Kickstarter campaign. If you were considering getting one, we highly recommend you grab it before the campaign ends!
At the time of this writing, we still have [26] discounted 100% foil deck add-ons left! Don't miss out on this sick-as-hell limited item.
splitting this up into sick cards, hope you're PUMPED
If you're not quite there yet, you can increase your pledge manually OR grab a cool add-on to bump your pledge up and qualify!
EXTRA BONUS for $30+ Backers
We're making ANOTHER set of alternate art DRAW cards using this NEW promotional illustration by @bromojumbo! Check out this incredible WIP we got:
this is gonna be so cool
If you've pledged $30 USD or more, we'll include all three cards with your pledge rewards! You can do this by increasing your pledge or tacking on some cool add-ons.
Doodle Request Cards Deadline!
Thank you for sending in your doodle requests! These have been really fun (and funny) to see so far but to ease up Pablo's workload, we've got to set a deadline.
pablo's been hard at work with these, holy moley
When this campaign ends on
!!! Saturday June 15th @ 10AM PST / 1PM EST !!!
