Latest Updates from Our Project:

We did it !!!
about 3 years ago – Thu, Mar 02, 2023 at 09:21:25 AM

Yay!!! We have successfully funded the project. I am super excited about FORK. It's such a fun family game for all ages. Love the art, love teaching it, love playing it. Just love it!


What's next?


Braille

It's not over for Braille FORK. I believe I, and many of you, are way too determined to see this through.

A few days before the Kickstarter campaign's end, we set up a pre-order store to continue the stretch to fund Braille FORK. If you are already a backer, please give us a few more days to get the pre-order store ready for you, because that is a part of your Kickstarter survey / pledge manager. Thank you for your patience.

If you didn't back on the FORK Kickstarter and would like to support Braille FORK, click the following link to pre-order a copy.

We have also created a channel in our discord for you to follow, discuss and ask any questions. Please use the following link to join.

Pre-production

We have sent a list of art requests to our fantastic artist Lili Chin to work on, and we will give you more updates when they are available. Can't wait!

We sent a preliminary quotation request to printers last night. Usually, this will take many rounds of discussion before sending graphic files.

We have hired an artist to design the fox plushie. Hopefully, we will have something to show you in two weeks. 

We have approved the enamel pin design from the manufacturer. All five pins should be made in two months.


Thank you again for your amazing support! If you have any questions, please don't forget to message me :)

Final Hours
about 3 years ago – Wed, Mar 01, 2023 at 02:34:39 AM

A couple of quick announcements.


Stretch Goals

I have unlocked two stretch goals: Active Player Token - Fox and Tortoises expansion set. 

All Deluxe Box FORK will come with both FORK and fox tokens. They are Kickstarter exclusive items and are available as add-ons.

All Deluxe Box FORK will also come with the Tortoises expansion set. It is also available as an add-on in Game Expansion Set (1) and a part of the All Game Expansion Sets add-on.


Braille FORK and Pre-Order Store

Unfortunately, we didn't reach the Braille FORK stretch goal in this campaign but do not despair. Let's not take this as a failure but as a new beginning. We will continue the stretch on BackerKit and make the best of it. A store is getting ready to accept pre-orders for Braille FORK. When we have reached $36,000, it will be unlocked and ready to produce.

Note on the pre-order store. Pocket FORK, Cat Sudoku, and a few other items will not be available. The price of some items will be $2 to $5 higher.


Thank you for reading and for your generous support.

Cheers,

It's the Last 40 Hours!
about 3 years ago – Tue, Feb 28, 2023 at 07:06:55 AM

Dear Friends,

Cannot believe that it has been almost the end of the project, with just about 40 hours to go. This is definitely the most exciting Kickstarter project for me. One, I have never done plushies before. Two, I never attempted to make a braille game before. Three, this might be the highest funding project for me :) Though it's not a million-dollar project, I know I am trying and working hard for it, and absolutely appreciate everyone's support and feedback.


STRETCH GOALS

We just unlocked another stretch goal - Great Horned Owl vinyl sticker! At the same time, we have revealed a new stretch goal - Tortoises Expansion Sets. It comes with four tortoises, one for each terrain. In the game, not all animals in the higher food chain can eat tortoises, and they eat kale just like rabbits :)

PLUSHIE

More than half of the votes are in. Guess who is winning the race? As of now, the fox is leading, followed by will cat. Owl and bear are just one vote behind. We'll know the final result by the end of today Pacific Time.

ENAMEL PINS

We have received a quotation and a digital sample of them. That means they are ready to go. They are gold color plated with gold color border. Very elegant and adorable :)

That's all for now :) If you have any questions, please let me know! I'll see you at the finish line.


Cheers,

Ta-Te

Fox, Owl, Rules, Bear, and Braille (FORBB?)
about 3 years ago – Tue, Feb 21, 2023 at 09:18:51 AM

Dear Friends!

We have 8 more days to go and getting really close to the Team FORK stretch goal. See below and find out what else we have for you :)


FOX TOKEN

  • Sorry. I made a new stretch goal for the fox token. It's too adorable not to be made!!!
  • For the active player token, Instead of a FORK token, you can choose the fox token.
  • It is also a wooden token, about 1 inch in height.
  • You can purchase it as an add-on for $2 each. MSRP is $3 to $5 depending on the quantity made.
  • If you have both FORK and FOX tokens, one of them can be used as a terrain token.

 
GREAT HORNED OWL


We also reveal another vinyl sticker stretch goal for everyone :) It's the Great Horned Owl!


RULES

  • We have finalized the rulebook and doing the last round of proofreading. Click HERE to read. Thank you Ric!
  • We also now have a German translator! Thank you Gunnar Mueller :)

 
BEAR ENAMEL PIN

All pledge levels that have four owl enamel pins will also include an Asiatic Black Bear bear pin. Yay!


Braille FORK

I have been thinking about unlocking Braillel FORK early. At the same time, I am worried that it might jeopardize the current campaign. If you have an interest in getting a copy of Braille FORK and also have a Twitter account, please use the following link to take the poll and let me know. I really appreciate your time.

Mid-Campaign Update
about 3 years ago – Wed, Feb 15, 2023 at 11:46:27 AM

Dear Friends,

We have passed 300% in funding and slowly trending upward. I really hope we can eventually reach $36,000 and unlock Braille FORK. Nonetheless, here are some important updates you should know :)


Card Design

We are adding a set of terrain and card number to the other corner of the card. This allows players to play the game immediately after fanning out their cards. We are also taking out the victory points on the fox cards because it's not necessary and a little bit confusing.


Arctic Icon

We are making a slight change to the artic icon because sometimes players are mistaken it for the mountain.


Meadow to Swamp

In the game, we have four terrains or suits: Artic, Desert, Mountain, and Meadow. In the final production copy, we are changing Meadow to Swamp. The reason is, in the brailled edition, braille will be added to the corner of the card with the initial of the terrain. If we don't change Meadow to Swamp, we will have two terrains with initial M's.

Hope I am making sense and thank you for your understanding :)


Tabletopia > Player Aid

We just added the food-chain player aid to Tabletopia. That makes teaching and learning the food-chain system in the game much easier.

To play FORK on Tabletopia, click HERE.

Strategicon - Orc Con

Are you around the corner this weekend? Like somewhere in LA :) If yes, we got a board game convention in LAX Hilton, and I will be teaching FORK all day on Saturday and a few hours on Sunday. Please drop by and say hi :)

Thank you all for reading the update and hope you have a wonderful rest of the week :)
