I don’t think I’ll ever quite fully get over how amazing this whole experience has been. For sure, we faced a bit of negativity that wasn’t fun to see, but I was very thankful to have such a supportive group of backers. Together we’ve turned this little hobby project into a serious gaming adventure and we feel ready to take on the world!
Pre-Order store is now open!
We managed to gain quite some traffic in the last few days, and we’ve had a bunch of requests about late pledges. Luckily, the folks at BackerKit have thought all about this predicament and provide a Pre-Order store connected to Kickstarter, so any late pledges through BackerKit will combine with our Kickstarter pledges and we can fulfill them all in one go.
You can find the Pre-Order store via the Late Pledges button on the Project Homepage or via this link: https://saunagame.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Backer Survey – ETA 10th Nov
We’re already filling out a bunch of details preparing the pledge manager for the surveys we’ll be sending out. For a whole bunch of reasons, we’re advised to not do this within the first 14 days, so we’ve pencilled in to send out on Thursday 10th November. Should this date change, we’ll let you all know.
Competition Winners
I’m pretty sure this is the part that most of you are waiting to read, so I won’t make you wait any longer.
We can now reveal that we have drawn 3 winners who will be joining us in the Sauna!
Announcing 2 of our lucky winners:
Drake (aka Dan) and Greg, we’re so happy to be inviting you in to join our Sauna! And I know Jose can’t wait to get to work on you 😉 For privacy reasons we need to confirm all entries and photos before announcing, so please check your Kickstarter inbox in case you’re our lucky third winner 😉
BGG
In our last update we mentioned we got to #13 on BGG’s Hotlist. Well, this morning we somehow got all the way up to #4! Now, since then we’ve disappeared from the list completely, and when I browse BGG it looks like there is some community content that was removed. I can only assume that some negative comments drove a lot of traffic to the BGG game page. Not sure if I’ll ever know – but we’ll be keeping a closer eye over there to be sure.
Upcoming Events
We’ve already mentioned we’ll be at SpellenSpektakel on 5th & 6th November with our amazing Demo Team. We’re so happy to be invited to join this event, and can’t wait to demo share this hilarious experience with the public.
We’re also freaking stoked to announce that next Friday on 28th November, we’re also bringing the team to SteamWorks Sauna in Arnhem. During their Youngsters night, we’ll be doing game demos, chatting with (up) all the visitors and I’ll be doing a DJ set full of fun, bouncy, pop & house!
Come join us and let’s see how much fun playing Gay Sauna the Board Game in a Gay Sauna can get!!!
