A second stretch goal unlocked, a social goal achieved and more!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Apr 06, 2022 at 10:08:30 PM

Greetings Citizens of Treasure Falls, 

What a wonderful way to start the day! In the whee hours of the night (for me at least) we unlocked our 2nd goal and surpassed the entire funding amount from our first campaign...in less than 24 hours! 

STRETCH GOALS & SOCIAL GOALS

We have unlocked 4 new event cards for Big Bads of Tolk's Cave! I will dive into more details on these cards in a future update, but perhaps you should start brainstorming silly or scary situations The Quest Kids may find themselves in during their adventure...

Yesterday we also unlocked the first stretch goal of 5 new item cards. Remember, you have until tonight to post your ideas for new item cards in the main comment section for the campaign! Check out our last update for more information.

Our next stretch goal was brought to life from backer suggestions in the comments! There are only 11 Quest Cards in The Quest Kids base game and with the higher player count that Big Bads brings it does make perfect sense to add more! Thanks @Andreas Gabel, @Samir Biswas, @Kathryn Glidden and everyone else for the idea!

If this goal is unlocked we'll have 15 unique quest cards in the game - enough for each player to complete three quests in a five player game (math!). 

We have also seen a flurry of activity regarding our Social Challenges and have unlocked a FREE PLEDGE for one of our participants. Congrats to... BGG user Bigboimaloy! We'll reach out to you soon. 

We only need to unlock one more star for another free pledge! Check out yesterday's update or towards the bottom of our campaign page for more details on the easy actions you need to take.  

CONTENT SPOTLIGHT

Occasionally in an update I am going to feature videos, posts or reviews that you may have missed. Yesterday I shared Tom Vasel's live play of Big Bads and today I'd like to showcase The Dicey Review's coverage of Big Bads of Tolk's Cave. 

Paul's videos are always beautiful and his way of presenting and explaining game play is very accessible. Below you will find both a How-To-Play video and a review for Big Bads. Enjoy!

I'll chime back in later tonight to hopefully celebrate another unlocked stretch goal and present what we have planned for the big $50K mark. 

A Quest Kids quest is never done!

150% Funded on Day 1?!? Stretch goals, Contests & More
over 2 years ago – Wed, Apr 06, 2022 at 04:51:42 PM

Greetings Citizens of Treasure Falls,

What. A. Day. We are over 500 backers strong, at 150% of our goal and have already unlocked a stretch goal! I mean, there's a chance that when I wake up in Texas tomorrow morning our other backers across the world will have unlocked a 2nd goal AND eclipsed the entire total funding of our first Quest Kids campaign. Unreal. 

OK. Thanks for letting me gush, but now on to what we have planned for the next 22 days.

Stretch Goals

As I mentioned above we have already unlocked a stretch goal!

Item Cards are new to The Quest Kids in Big Bads of Tolk's Cave, and now you will have 30 of them in the game. These cards provide players with unique powers that help them scare away bad guys and complete action rolls (also new in Big Bads). 

There are three types of item cards: weapons (gold), armor (gray) and potions (pink). Here's an image of most of the current items in the game:

CONTEST

We are asking the Citizens of Treasure Falls (that's you backers FYI) to help us come up with 2 of the new items that will be added in the game! Simply leave your idea for an item in the MAIN comment section for the campaign (not the comments on this update) and we will pick our two favorites on Wednesday night (April 6th). 

The winners will be listed as ARMORERS in the rulebook for Big Bads of Tolk's Cave and will get to assist in the creation of the card!

If you have an exact idea of what the item would do we'd love to hear it (you can review the cards above to get an idea of how the items often function). However, if you have never played The Quest Kids before that is not a problem at all. Simply comment describing a weapon, piece of armor or potion that you think would be cool/funny/strange/confusing and we'll figure out how to make it work if you win!

SOCIAL GOALS

We have some easy Social Goals! A lot of you may not realize this since they are pretty far down on the page. Here is what we're doing:

As you can see we are only one star away from unlocking a free pledge for one of our Social Goal participants. As of the writing of this update we are only 6 likes away on the Board Game Geek page for The Quest Kids and 18 likes for Big Bads of Tolk's Cave. Share The Quest Kids and maybe get a free pledge. Sounds good, right?

The Dice Tower Live Play

This morning the one-and-only Tom Vasel played Big Bads of Tolk's Cave LIVE on his YoutTube channel (The Dice Tower) with his daughter and son. If you are interested in seeing the new elements of the expansion in action I highly recommend giving it a watch:

Thanks again for the amazing start! I'll see you in the comments as we quest on to day two! 

A Quest Kids quest is never done,

Greetings Citizens of Treasure Falls, 

Wow! I really can't believe that this campaign is already funded. Thank you all for supporting our dungeon crawler for young heroes with such an amazing response. 

I had planned to post the first update tonight with a lot more info about the fun things we have planned for the campaign, but I had to jump on here and celebrate...FUNDING IN 5 HOURS! 

I will still be back tonight with another update. Until then keep spreading the word about The Quest Kids!

A Quest Kids quest is never done, 

Dustin
