I just have to take a moment and gaze upon your greatness.

You blew through funding in less than 2 hours. You cracked stretch goal after stretch goal like you were making breakfast.  You overwhelmingly bought the All In Captain's Chest because you wanted it all. As first time creators, we had many people ask us what we expected.

Not this....

We set out to make a game that we would love to play and, along the way, decided to take a chance that there might be others in the world that would feel the same. We're not interested in "the most," or even "many," people; we are interested in you, specifically, and making sure we deliver on the idea of what you're investing in.

With less than 2 days remaining, Micah and I plan connect with you, answering questions, talking about the game, and just plain ole hanging out. We're not here to maximize profits, we're here to be part of a community.

Live Stream
We have a chill live stream planned for July 22nd at 8:00PM Eastern.

Discord
We literally work in Discord and there's always some sort of nonsense going on. So feel free to swing by.

Stretch Goal 7 Unlocked - Sacred Trigonometries - 4 Deluxe Stat Trackers
Not all of us can run the Sacred Trigonometries that Remy Babeneaux developed at l’Académie des Sciences and honed while leading the guns of Hesser's Navy. We're including 4 faction specific Deluxe Stat Trackers for the rest of us!



Stretch Goal 8 Unlocked - Blessing of Wood - Added Wooden Tokens
Did we find a buried chest and hack it up to make these wooden tokens? Maybe. Either way, we’re adding extra wooden tokens - crew, factions, statuses!


NEXT UP - Stretch Goal 9 $120,000 - Long Lost Notable
John Davies, The Pirate King, has gained and lost many allies over the last 20 years. One such, thought returned to the sea, has been found prowling the waters of New Caribbea.

John Davies sure takes up a lot of air in New Caribbea!

If you're looking to get away from it all and live the life of a homesick deck-swabber, an incompetent but oh-so-excellent-pretender merchant Captain, or an armed-to-the-teeth (literally) disgraced Thane for an afternoon, we're giving you the tools: A TTRPG one-pager meant to satisfy that deeper exploration itch that only role playing can scratch. Your mind is the limit!


LIVE PLAY THROUGH TONIGHT!

We also have some great news for play throughs! Our latest prototypes have made it out into the hands of reviewers.

The wonderful folks over at Co-op Guild are live streaming the physical game of Red Tides tonight (July 9th) at 9:00 PM Eastern! Make sure you tune in!

Oh! And how about a little lore to go with that TTRPG stuff? The Salt Stained Journal a document from an unknown author that appears to capture many pivotal moments in the history of John Davies’ New Carribea. The first published entry can be found HERE.

THANK YOU AND CALL TO ACTION!
I don't think we'll ever stop saying it, we are so grateful for your trust and support. The energy you gives us to make sure this is the best-pirate-experience-in-a-board-game possible is huge. Please continue to share with other people, post on Reddit and BGG, on socials, and wherever there might be someone who hasn't heard of Red Tides. 

My oh my! These folks here are good folks. They joined the crew and pushed the project up over 400%. That's a cool number but more importantly, it's stretch goal time! Come join the fun!

The seas can be rough and so can your dice rolls. We're upgrading to injection-molded dice so every face stays sharp, clear, and satisfying for years to come. Built to withstand the clickity-clack of 20+ die volleys over thousands of rolls. With over 100 dice in the game, and many folks buying extras, this is a huge one and we're pumped we reached a level where this is feasible!

What is Injection Molding?
Many games that have anywhere close to this many dice use heat transfer printing and we were going to, as well. Heat transfer printed dice can be great but after a few hundred rolls, you might start to see fading.

Injection-molded dice, on the other hand, are the real deal: tougher, clearer, and built to take a beating. We're upgrading to those, so Red Tides rolls stay sharp for years.

What's Next?

In a world...In a world with pirates...
In a world with pirates where you are all powerful... Can you imagine?

4th Stretch goal UNLOCKED!

We're gilding the Red Tides box with gold foil and spot UV so it gleams like cursed treasure on your shelf.

When guests walk by, they won’t ask “What’s that game?" they’ll ask “Where did you get that relic?!”

It’s gonna shimmer. It’s gonna shine. It’s gonna whisper, “Take to the sea...”

Thanks for helping us hoist this upgrade aboard!
