Button Shy Reprint Campaign - Spring 2023 - is live on Gamefound.
🕑 Added 2023-05-16 12:43:13 +0000 UTCButton Shy Reprint Campaign - Spring 2023 is live on Gamefound. Every club member receives a discount based on their backer level - it's either $1, $2 or $5, one flat amount, no matter how many wallet games you buy at Gamefound. We will be sending everyone an email at their Patreon email address shortly after the campaign launches. That email address will have a credit at Gamefound for this campaign, in the discount amount for your level. Using that email and link, you can then pledge in the campaign if you want any of the games being reprinted and you will receive your credit at the end.
The first important thing is the campaign link:
https://gamefound.com/projects/button-shy-games/-button-shy-reprint-campaign---spring-2023-
We are starting with three games: Circle the Wagons, Count of the Nine Estates and Liberation. As the campaign goes, there will be the chance to vote for other games to reprint too.
As these are reprints, none of these games or expansions will be Featured Games in any future Board Game of the Month Club packages; you will be able to switch them in if your club level includes a wallet game, but we do not know for how long.
HERE'S HOW TO PLEDGE AS A CLUB MEMBER AT GAMEFOUND:
Your club discount is already applied at Gamefound to the email address linked to your Patreon subscription. There is no BGotMC level, so just choose the number of games you want as your reward and your discount will be applied at the end.
A few quick notes:
- You must pledge for at least 1 wallet game to use your discount. If you pledge for expansions only, the credit will exceed the cost and we will have to cancel the pledge.
- If you use a different email address at Gamefound and Patreon, please email buttonshyhelp@gmail.com and we can apply the discount to your preferred account. Let us know both your Patreon and Gamefound email addresses.
These are the three games we are starting the campaign with; keep an eye on the campaign page for news about other games which are unlocked as we go.
Each player in Circle the Wagons is fixin' to build up their own boomtown, but only one'll build the best in the West!
Blaze a trail by draftin' cards 'round the circle and placin' 'em in yer town, tryin' to connect matchin' territories to score prosperity points! But don't forget about them three bonus cards in the center of the circle that can score ya even more points — that is, if ya play yer cards right. With over 800 unique ways to score and millions of draftin' and placin' combos, you'll never build the same town twice!
Expansions
Lone Cowboy and Lone Cowboy Rides Again Think there ain't much on these here plains that you haven't seen, heard, or shot at? Put your skills to the test in the solo version of Circle the Wagons.
The Wildest West adds one scoring condition card. It began life as a Twitter joke that made its way to a digital promo card, and was later released physically.
As the Count of the small territory of the Nine Estates, you must build up the county into a powerful economic and cultural center. However, limited nearby resources force you to make difficult decisions. Can you earn the favor of the King?
In Count of the Nine Estates you must search your land for resources to build basic structures that will provide more resources. Use these structures and resources to build up your estates into a powerful economic force.
For hundreds of generations, the tyrannical Intercosmic Dynasty has ruled the galaxy with a titanium fist. Their power and reach is spreading, but so is word of their misdeeds. A band of resistance fighters known as the Liberation has begun striking at the Dynasty from a hidden base. Will you help the Liberation gain enough support before their secret base is discovered, or will the you wield the awesome power of the Dynasty to hunt down these traitors and bring them to heel?
Using a tiny deck of only 18 cards, Liberation plays out a miniature rebellion of galactic scale on your tabletop. An asymmetrical game of cat and mouse, the Dynasty player expands their web of power, occupying and exploiting planet cards, while the Liberation player strikes from the shadows, sabotaging the Dynasty’s hand and performing daring missions. The odds are long and the stakes are high. Can you stall long enough to cycle through the deck 3 times, earning enough support to topple the Dynasty, or will you scour the galactic map, tightening the noose around the secret base of the Liberation to attack and destroy them? The future of the galaxy is at stake!
Expansions:
Warped World Long-distance scans of the planet Galvicil show a giant fissure emitting strange gases. Could they truly have the power to reshape surrounding planets?
A 5 card expansion that introduces a new planet and two new missions that can rotate and flip map cards.
Moon of Mystery The Athena Colony isn't quite what it seems. Disguised as a run of the mill spaceport...
A 2-card expansion that introduces a new map card and a new ability.
There are so many more details on the Gamefound page. Head over there for everything you need to know about the games and voting for more reprints.

Is it too late for me to pledge? It says that it isn’t available right now
Chris Matchett
Should I have had the email with the credit link by now? Does the email specifically mention the credit? I do have a gamefound email about the campaign which does not mention the credit, and clicking that and adding items to my pledge doesn’t show any credit.

It looks like this is a bug with the Android app not loading the link correctly. Try adding a - to the end of the URL when it doesn't load, or try loading Patreon in a web browser instead of the app.
