Hello, Boltonauts! The pledge manager is READY and the survey links are going out TODAY.
My ship with the games on it docked earlier this week! I don't yet have confirmation that the cargo has made it to the warehouse yet, but I assume they will be arriving soon. Soon enough that I'm ready to start arranging the shipping!
The survey link will be sent to your email on file. If you are seeing this update via email, then presumably you will get the survey at the same email address.
If you don't see the email within 24 hours (and it's not in your spam folder), feel free to contact me and I can send you your unique link.
This is the finished magnet set! It looks awesome!!
SOME IMPORTANT INFO
If you've done pledge managers before, most of this will be old hat, but JUST IN CASE...
1. PRINT & PLAY. If you have a DIGITAL ONLY TIER, the pledge manager is PURELY OPTIONAL. You should have already received a link to the print & play (via itch.io) back in December.
The pledge manager is useful if you want to get any add-ons (there is a WIDE VARIETY of items available) -- or, if you haven't downloaded the PNP already, you can click through the survey to confirm, and BackerKit will send you the PDF links directly.
2. MAILING ADDRESS. If you need me to SHIP you a physical game, I will need your address! Based on your location, the system will calculate the correct shipping charge, and you'll have a chance to settle that up and confirm your order. Once confirmed, your order will go into the shipping queue!
(In every case, backers are paying less than the true shipping cost! I am subsidizing it a bit because it makes the math way easier -- and also because you've been waiting for the game so patiently.)
3. EXPANSION PACK. All BackerKit backers (from the April 2025 campaign) are getting the Elbowpalooza Mini-Expansion for free. You don't need to add it on separately; it should already be in your cart automatically.
In fact, you will be getting an edition of the game with the expansion ALREADY INSIDE the box.

4. BONUS ITEMS. If you added on extra items during the campaign, or qualified for any free bonus items, they should already be reflected in your cart! Feel free to let me know if you THINK something should be there that ISN'T.
For example, there are 3 bonus cards available! Two of them (Gax and Piranhamoose) were backer incentives and have been added to qualifying folks' carts already. You can also purchase them a la carte if you missed out on the incentive.
The third bonus card, Norbert, is for Patreon members only! If you are subscribed to my Patreon at any paid tier, make sure you've messaged me (on Patreon) to reserve your bonus card. (And if you're not on Patreon, there's no better time to sign up! It'll get you the bonus card!)

5. ADD-ONS. I have upturned my workshop and dug in the couch cushions to find a TON of optional goodies that I would love to ship to you alongside your game!
A bunch of them are VERY LIMITED because they are simply my last inventory of that particular item.
As a guy who has been making merch over the course of literal decades, It's really hard to clear out, like, the last few copies of a given thing. So a bunch of it's in here! Browse and discover all the curiosities!!
There are plenty of the standard Wondermark items -- books, stickers, pins, posters, etc.
There are copies of my other games -- including something quite surprising:
Machine of Death & the expansion set (Side Effects)
I REALLY thought the Machine of Death game (which we Kickstarted back in 2013) was completely sold out. But we discovered a forgotten case at the back of the warehouse!!!
These are the VERY LAST COPIES of MOD that I have. The game was a huge success when we launched it, but it's been years since it's been available for sale anywhere outside of, like, eBay.
This is also a great opportunity to use up all the card sleeves I ordered to fit the slightly odd cards in this game. The full game's set of sleeves (a whopping 1,400 sleeves, if you sleeve every card in the game and expansions) is available as a separate add-on.
WILL 1,400 SLEEVED CARDS FIT INTO THESE TWO BOXES? I genuinely don't know.
I took the opportunity with Bolted!'s print run to have the same factory make a new printing of my famous Multi-Purpose Greeting Cards:
Each set comes with 12 multi-purpose cards, covering different occasions.
All packaged with envelopes in a very cool foil-stamped stationery box!!
The Multi-Purpose Cards are available in two sets -- "Universal" and "Holidays". The Universal set is the fresh printing and it comes in the sweet box pictured above.
If you order this set, it will ship WITH your game.
All other add-ons will arrive SEPARATELY from your game, because they are coming from me directly, not the fulfillment center.
This means many of you will get 2 packages from me (OR MORE??)! How exciting!!
Finally -- if you are getting this email and you HAVEN'T ordered the game -- you can now go directly to the pledge manager and create a new order if you care to.
Let me know if you have any questions about any of the above. Thanks!!
