Greetings everyone! I’ve completed Argumentation in its rough form, and turned over my final version to graphic designer (and backer) Nicholas Ambrose to begin the layout process. After doing some research, I added two more Framing cards: Afrocentric History and Women’s History. Additionally, I’ve added more Question cards, replacing a half-dozen existing questions I felt to be more like “placeholders” than quality, thought provoking historical inquiries. As soon as Nic is finished I will share the print-and-play version. Then we’ll order a proof to make certain nothing is wrong and move straight to printing. At that time if I understand the Backerkit system correctly I’ll contact each of you individually about shipping costs. 

Thank you again for your support and patience as we work out the final steps of this project. 

Greetings everyone! I'm going to move forward to creating the final version of Argumentation: A game about how history works as rapidly as possible now, so that when the funds become available through Backerkit I can order a proof  quickly. I will keep you updated as progress on the final version moves forward. Thank you as always for your support.  

I know I keep saying this, but I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. Argumentation is a project near and dear to my heart, and I am eager for it to become a physical object in the world that each of you can hold in your hand and play with your friends. I plan on making that happen as soon as possible. 

In the meantime, if you have any suggestions for the remaining cards, I would very much like to hear them. New Questions about history are of course welcome; but I would also love to hear about additional historical Frames that could go into the final version. In particular, new ways of understanding history that come from non-Western cultures, and information about those who helped to conceptualize them. 

So if you have any suggestions, please send them to [email protected]. I'm going to give everyone a week to send them in, then move rapidly into producing (and sharing) the final version of the game. And thank you again.

 We’re over the top and funded! I can’t wait to email each of you and get your input so we can create the final version together. The next step for me is to figure out *how* to email all of you using Backerkit. If you would like to give me any input before then, my email is [email protected] And thank you once again for your support. – Jason Walters

 Wow; 86% of the way there! Thank you for supporting and believing in this project. It will be a unique addition to your collection, as well as something you can play repeatedly with your friends, examining your beliefs about history each time in a way I hope will be useful in your everyday life. As well as being fun and entertaining, of course!
