New Booster Deck for 'Knitting: the Card Game'
about 3 years ago – Sun, Mar 07, 2021 at 08:15:35 AM

Hello Knitters and Gamers,


Exciting news: Booster Deck No.1 has been published and is ready for play. 

Pick up a copy over at  Moonrover Games to add to your indie fiber arts card collection and use this coupon code just for kickstarter backers: BACKER15 for 15% off of your order. It's time to knit all the new patterns with all of the beautiful new yarns. 

This 70 card deck is filled with beautiful new photos of indie designed patterns and indie dyed yarns. These new cards can be added to the existing game and allow for up to five players to play at the same time! Because this card infusion allows for an additional player, we've added a purple set of Cast-on Cards and two cards that can be used as a Blocking Mat. 

And last but not least are two additional cards containing an abbreviated list of rules and actions. Similar to the origionals they contain a rule modification that a lot of long time gamers have adopted into their knitting gameplay. The modification allows for the expansion of step two in turn actions: what was formerly 'Pick 1 -- Pattern Cards, or Yarn Cards' has become 'Pick 1-- Pattern Cards, Yarn Cards, or 1 Community Card'. This small change makes for a more dynamic and action packed game. 

Thank you all so much for your all of your support and feedback, I cannot wait for you to see all of the new pattern photos and yarn photos featured in this pack.

Small Customs Delay
over 4 years ago – Mon, Sep 30, 2019 at 07:20:07 PM

Hello Knitters and Gamers,

Quick little update: Our Shipment was held up in customs for just over a week. They passed inspection just fine, but because the games had to share a cargo box with another import, they got held up.

Good news is that they’ve been released and are on their way to Detroit. Not exactly sure when they’ll get there, but when I have more info I’ll pass it along. My guess is that this will set the timeline back about two weeks.

Very excited that they are so close, I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to get my hands on them!! I’ve ordered all the boxes and packaging I’ll need and I’m prepping all the stickers, pins and etc., so that I can get to shipping out your games as soon as possible.

Peace and wool fumes,

Lacey

Last Call for Pre-Orders + Cargo Delivery Date

Hello Knitters and Gamers!

Knitting — The Card Game has been manufactured and I have seen a sample of the official printing. It looks amazing! There were no changes made after seeing the digital proof, so the final proof looks exactly the same except the CMYK printing is richer and really shows off the beauty of the photos in real life. Also, the cards themselves are a super nice quality and have a protective coating on them— it was so beyond great to see them in person and give them a shuffle.

These aren’t differences that show up in a photograph, but shipping should start in less than a month, so you will soon be able to see for yourself! I cannot wait to send them out to you! (!!!!!)

All seven pallets are scheduled to land at the Detroit Airport on Sept. 19th. So exciting! I’ll still have to hire a delivery truck to bring them to their final destination, but that’s only about 60 miles south of Detroit, so it shouldn’t take too long. A realistic estimation for me to start shipping out individual games is the very end of September. I will keep you updated with more accurate information about this timeline as soon as I have more to tell. 

The pre-order shop will close on September 10th and any additional add-ons and pre-orders will be processed on Sept. 16th, so if you wanted to place a pre-order, now is the time. 

Right now I’m working on collecting packing materials, diligently adding the enamel pins to their pin boards and sorting out the skeins of yarn for ‘The game + 1 Skein + Pin Set’ backer level. I cannot wait to get to work shipping all of this fun stuff out to you. I am so thankful for each and every one of you and I’m so excited for you to receive your copy of the game.

Peace and yarn fumes,

Lacey

Photos of the Penultimate Proof + Shipping Timeline Delay
over 4 years ago – Tue, Jul 02, 2019 at 09:03:43 PM

Hello knitters and gamers,

I have the first digitally printed version of the game in hand! Even though this is just a mock-up, the game looks amazing and I’m so happy with it that I could scream!! 

It is so hard to wait and I wish I didn't have to make you wait longer, but our timeline has had a few small setbacks. It took a few extra weeks to finalize the art and all of the photo files (so many photo files!) for our manufacturer, and even though the digital copy that I have looks awesome and I would be happy signing off on it, we are waiting for the official printing of the game (a proof printed on the exact machines that will make all of the games) so that I can give the final approval. This should happen in the next week or two. After that, we are expecting 2 weeks to manufacture it and about 6 weeks to ship it to me, barring any customs hold ups. Add it all up and it potentially brings the ship date for individual games to September. 

Oh, and check out this secret compartment for collectable promo cards and small expansion packs (I’m hoping to feature additional fiber artists with small collectable printings of cards in the near future— keep an eye out!)

Thank you so much for your support for this game, and even though it will take longer than I anticipated to ship, I cannot (Cannot!) wait to send you your copy!

Peace and wool fumes,

Lacey
