Hello once again!
Thanks to everyone for their continued support of Food for Thought :) We are now around the halfway point of the campaign and are so glad to have you all on board!
As mentioned yesterday, these 3 recipe cards are now going to be included in every copy of the game...
- Skirt Steak: Lets you take extra food tokens when you shop!
- Tequila Sunrise: Lets you swap out one of the food tokens you are usually forced to take when you go to the farmers market!
- Spaghetti & Meatballs: This card effectively lets you snack twice in one action! That will help clear out your kitchen :)
These are the final recipe cards that will be added to the game - we now have a deck of 72 cards! Note that we have just spent some time clarifying the text on all the cards so the final production of these recipes may be worded differently when you finally receive them :)
Next: Baskets to hold your purchased items!
Our next stretch goal is coming up soon! This is the addition of 3 tiles that can sit off the board for players to use when taking the shop action (art is NOT final)...
In the original version of the game, there was a shaded area of the board where players could sort their purchased items and keep track of how much money they had spent. (Each item costs $1/$3/$5 and you have $6 max to spend.) To keep the game's presentation more thematic, we thought adding these basket tiles to the game would be a nice idea. For many players, the visual representation of how much they have spent at the store (and what they have bought) helps keep the gameplay smooth and clear. As this will enlarge the size of one of our punchboards we had to include it as a stretch goal here.
We have more stretch goals on the way as well! Don't forget that you can add-on copies of our recent and upcoming releases to your pledge. Bottle Imp just launched at Gen Con and is getting buzz - maybe that's a card game your group will enjoy :)
All the best! Thanks again, I will update you again soon :)
