My most recent project, Work It!
over 4 years ago – Tue, Nov 19, 2019 at 11:16:10 AM

Ladies and Gents-

I am happy to announce a new project I’ve been working on that just launched on Kickstarter.

Many people know me for all of my side projects, but some people don’t know that my 9 to 5 is working at a company in NYC whose focus is financial education. In my 8 years in this job, I’ve learned that financial education is something that a lot of individuals don’t have access to.

I recently started consulting with a great company called The WingaDoos. Their main project is an in-the-classroom animation-based educational program whose goal is to make financial lessons more accessible kids and families.

They asked me to help design a game that is simple enough for children to play with their families that teaches how money works and all the things you can do with it. So, since the beginning of the spring I began designing and play-testing a card game.

Without further ado, I’d like to introduce Work It! A game about money and how to use it. It launched this morning on Kickstarter.

I’d love if you could support the project and the great company behind it.

The Kickstarter page can be found here.

As always, thank you all so much!

Phil

FREE Promo Cards and Walmart!
about 5 years ago – Fri, Mar 08, 2019 at 08:42:54 AM

In celebration of Cheese Quest’s second print and it being restocked on Amazon.com, Uncommongoods.com and now on Walmart.com I’ve created some promo cards.

I’d like to get all of you to help me get the word out about Cheese Quest. If you make a public facebook post with a photo of you playing Cheese Quest and tag @cheesequest (https://www.facebook.com/cheesequest/) I will mail you two brand new “Scare” cards to add to your CQ game for FREE! Let’s get the word out!

After you make your post, I’ll send you a message and get your address, just make sure the post is public, otherwise I won’t see it.

Due to cost I can only make this available for those in the US. If you're outside the US message our FB page and we can arrange something!

Thanks Everyone!

Cheese Quest Update
over 5 years ago – Mon, Dec 03, 2018 at 02:06:16 PM

Hi everyone,

I know it's been a while since I sent out an update. So here it is!

Things have gone great since Cheese Quest: The Quest for Cheese arrived on the pallet at my front door 9 months ago. After all the backer copies were shipped out we started selling copies on amazon.com. After a few months we received a large order from Uncommongoods.com who now sells it on their website. 

Between these two places we have about 30 copies remaining of the original 500 ordered. So after a few weeks of debating and some meetings with other retailers I've decided that we are going to do a second print of Cheese Quest! This is huge news.

Thank you so much for the support! Please remember to review CQ on BGG. And feel free to reach out to me through Kickstarter or our facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/cheesequest/

Have a Great Holiday Season everyone!

Some FAQs!
over 5 years ago – Sat, Jul 21, 2018 at 04:55:27 PM

Hi everyone,

I've gotten few questions concerning rulings, and while most of these are all covered in the rulebook, I figured it would be nice to just send out a message for a quick reference.

FAQs:

1. Can you remove Cats from the board with matching card types like you can with obstacles?
No. Cats are not obstacles and cannot be removed from the board. 

2. Are shadow tokens and hide tokens the same thing?
Yes. The name of shadow tokens were updated during play testing and we missed a spot where it still says "Shadow Token". 

3. Can I remove a Glue Trap I am adjacent to, or do I need to be on it?
All obstacles can be removed when you are adjacent including the glue trap. However the glue trap is the only one you can disable while standing on it as well.


Photos:Here are some photos I received of people playing! I love seeing these so please share more!

International Backers: 
Most international backers should have received their games by now, however some are taking a bit longer, please be patient, but if you have any questions, please reach out!

Thanks, that's all for now!

Phil
