Hey friends, happy holidays and almost new year! We have reached the 200% funding level, hurray!

Cool stuff to share today, first up - the box! We've been experimenting a lot over the past few weeks with various box arts (you may have seen a sneak peek of them in some places), and we're pretty happy with the result - a vibrant box that should look great on store shelves or your shelves.  The render below includes the components for scale - the box will be 12"x6", which allows the rolled up chess mat to sit inside, above four insert slots for the decks and pieces. We've also updated the cover image for the campaign, which previously was a variation on the card back.

Stream Today! Games with friends and viewers

Do you want to come try out Chess Joker against the pros? (the pros are me) Today on Twitch starting at 1:30PM Eastern, I'll be playing games with whoever's around - or just against the combined might of Chat if you all want to team up together. Carl might drop in too if he's got time. Look forward to seeing a few of you there!

Chess Club Discount Tier

By popular demand of a few friends who run chess clubs at schools and colleges, we've added a $99 / 4-pack tier for clubs. If you want to spread our game to clubs, we'd love that! 4 copies is enough to run tournaments and provide lots of enjoyment for players of all levels.
