Hello Backers!
Sorry for the delay, here is the latest.
RUN production is underway. Building the molds for the movement tiles and player tokens has started. We have finalized the art and are sending over it to the manufacturer soon. We will receive a production sample to make sure everything is correct. We have some surprises we've added and really happy with the quality of components that will be in the game. Here is a sampler of the component art. There are cut lines are on the Move board and Evidence board as they will be dual layered.
If all goes well, this puts us about 2-3 months away from shipping to backers. Thanks for your patience, just making sure we get it right.

Hey Fugitives!
The latest news: Fugitive has arrived in mostly regions, should be in EU this week after some delays. Early orders are starting to go out. Some early orders will be a couple weeks later, because the Events Expansion for Fugitive had a production issue. The card backs were slightly different color. So they are reprinting the entire set of expansions. We then will fly them to the warehouses.

RUN is very close to print ready. It is somewhat behind, depending on manufacturing and shipping times, shipping in Apr/May is the current window.  We have been adding fun surprises to the game. We are finalizing the maps. Here is one (not final):

Hey Backers!
I'm smuggling a bunch of Fugitives to PAX Unplugged!

PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia this weekend I flew over a some early copies of Fugitive and will have them available for early pickup. Come by booth 2547 and say hi! (Also I'm a bit short on help if anyone wants to help demo at the booth)

Pledge Manager will be available next week, please check your email for it. We are offering an addon to get your copy of Fugitive a few months early. This means you'll get Fugitive Dec-Jan.(arrives Dec 14 in the US) RUN and other addons will come later (Mar-Apr).

Thanks!

Hey everyone! 
I got the assembly samples of Fugitive today. These are the sample of the game assembled from final materials(and new cover).  We approved the game and it will be finished in the next week or two. From there it will be 6-10 weeks for shipping out to the warehouses. Check it out below:

One surprise in the image - the GERMAN edition of Fugitive is also in production!  This will be an option for backers in the pledge manager. So we are on schedule for December delivery for Fugitive.
RUN is also proceeding - we are working on the maps and testing out samples of manufacturing materials.
Pledge manager - we are planning on launching the pledge manager in November. If you backed both games there will be a split ship option to send each game separately, which would get you Fugitive sooner.

Runner Escapes!

Hello Backers! We did it - over 3000 of you are help making this a reality. It was a year ago at Spiel Essen I met Moritz Dressler at me booth. He had an ideas for a double blind deathmatch game that had some really clever gameplay.  I mentioned I was looking for something in the Fugitive universe, but 2 dimensional. So we worked together to make a unique asymmetrical game that builds on Fugitive in fun new ways.

We will continue to add and improve RUN as we get it ready for print.  We might add some extra stretch goals for free :) Fugitive is starting print right now!

I don't know if you noticed - but we updated the pose on the box cover:

Hello Fugitives and Runners!
We are rounding the corner on the last few days of the campaign  - try to get the word out so we can hit our last stretch goals!

Based on popular request - we are offering the Event Expansion for Fugitive 2nd edition. This expansion adds twists and turns to a game of fugitive as they can pop up in any deck. To save space and keep cost down, we have combined event cards to have two sides, similar to new expansion SHIFT cards. Along with some tuning and tweaking, they will also come as PVC cards to match the 2nd edition of the game.

Print and Play along!

Hey Backers!
Excited to announce the release of the Print and Play for RUN. The game was originally designed as a minimalist game that could be played on a single printed sheet. It has grown as we developed it, but we were able to fit an intro version on two sheets. The first sheet you put in a plastic sleeve and use a dry-erase marker. The second sheet is cut-outs for the Backup cards and the Gadget tokens. It may not sound like a lot, but you'll be surprised how this cat and mouse game comes to life. 

Download Print and Play here



Print and try it out because I want to play some remote games against the backers, so I'm doing a livestream of me VS backers next Tues Sept 13 10am-Noon mountain time on my Discord server. If you want to sign up, add your name in the signup-to-play-tim channel.  I'll randomly choose a few people to play against.

If you want to find someone to play against in the community, check out this looking-for-run channel in the same Discord server.  You can play games in the voice channels run-room-1 and 2.

We also have released a Double Bundle that includes two copies of Fugitive and two copies of RUN. This is a great option for getting a copy for a friend to play RUN remotely.  This bundle also includes the bonus map for both copies.

There is some community interest in reprinting the Event cards from Fugitive first edition to match the PVC cards. The main issue is there are too many event cards to fit in the box. Let me know what you think

Thanks for all the support and spread the word so we can get another map for RUN!

Map preview! Fugitive Tournament

Hey Runners! Great first 3 days - amazed at all the support and kind words on the discussions.  Already knocked out a bunch of stretch goals, and more cool stuff yet to come!

Wanted to show off some of the unlocked maps.  Each map will have a different color scheme and introduce a new way of getting around. Here is a closeup of how the tunnels and alleyways work:

It allows the Runner to sprint through buildings, but he can't stop the sprint until he reaches the far side.  This twist allows for new mind games - will the Runner use it? Or he might stop right before the building as a feint. 

Also wanted to tell you all about the Fugitive Tournament. It's free to play at PlayFugitive.com  Make an account and make an open game for others to play. You can take turns back and forth anytime, and you can have any number of games going at a time.  We reset the Marshal and Fugitive rankings, so the more you play you can climb the ladder. As more people get interested I'll work on some worthy prizes. Top players will be determined by their combined Marshal and Fugitive ranks. We're hoping to live stream the top players showdown for the finals.

Thanks for all the support and I'll be back with more updates and insights into the creation of Fugitive and RUN

Hello Backers! We’ve reached our funding goal a couple hours into the campaign, and we want to thank all of our backers for helping us get here so quickly.

We have some great stretch goals in this campaign we’d love to incorporate into the final game, starting with an additional SHIFT card for Fugitive 2nd Edition. Each SHIFT card has two unique powers, one for Fugitive, one for Marshal. They provide new gameplay twists that are delightful to play mind games with your opponent.

You’ll also see that the following stretch goal is a new map for RUN. Not only will additional maps mix up the arrangement of buildings, stashes, and safe houses–they also provide new gameplay mechanics to figure out. We will be doing some updates about this, but let’s just say we have some maps that make you think very differently.

We’ll keep updating the stretch goals list as the campaign continues. Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing how many stretch goals we can unlock over the next few weeks.

Come watch some live Fugitive action in 30 min at 4pm PST Twitch.tv/Panda8ngel  I'll be helping from Chat!
