$10K! Second stretch goal unlocked, and 2 more revealed!
almost 5 years ago – Thu, May 02, 2019 at 08:44:29 AM

I'm not even really awake yet, so there's a small chance I might be dreaming, but... I'm *pretty* sure we just busted through the $10K mark like it was nothing in the first 24 hours of this campaign. 

I can't tell you how psyched I am that I get to send you your copies of Crystallo, not just on beautiful 300 GSM card stock, but in a velvet bag with a gorgeous contrasting satin interior! Hello, luxury! And perhaps even more exciting, I get to reveal to you TWO more outrageously exciting stretch goals!. But first, I want to take a moment to share these first-24-hours numbers, because they are completely blowing my mind. 

WOW, right? Almost 500 backers in the first 24 hours. And if my Google Analytics is any indication (not to mention the crazy amount of activity all night long!) folks are checking out Crystallo from all *over* the world! We've had visitors from 73 countries, from Afghanistan to Peru to South Africa and pretty much everywhere in between. Again..... mind blown. Humbled and delighted and stunned! 

But I digress, and you're still wondering what the next two stretch goals are... drum roll, please?

I must say, the thought of hitting that app level makes me all giddy. 24 hours ago it seemed like a distant long shot, but... I think maybe we can actually get there?! How amazing would that be?! Which is not to diminish my excitement about the previous goal, because emblazoning the Crystallo logo on that beautiful satin-lined velvet bag ALSO gives me all the happy feelings. I just really, REALLY want to make that app :D

PNP level & Social Quests

I am going to be working hard to get the PNP level ready to deliver as soon as possible, hopefully within the next few days. I know some of our social quests require it. Any of you talented artist types planning to submit a fan art version of the creatures yet? Please feel free to pass that challenge on to all the other artist types in your life as well! I can't wait to see what kind of imaginative awesomeness you all can create!

Am I forgetting anything?

To say I'm a bit overwhelmed this morning would be an understatement, so if there is something I missed in this update, and you'd like to see it in the next one, please leave a comment! I promise I'll be working on the FAQ today as well, to fill in some questions that have come up so far. Thanks so much all of you, for your patience, enthusiasm and dedication! You rock.

 Say what?!? Already?! 

You all are making this look too easy! You've unlocked the first stretch goal -- A card upgrade from 250 GSM stock to 300! We're really excited that we'll get to print Crystallo on premium, gorgeous, 300 GSM cardstock. Thank you!

 I know you're excited to see what's next, so I'll make you a deal: when we get to $10,000, I'll reveal TWO more stretch goals. 

 By the way, have you checked out Crystallo's home on BoardGameGeek yet? We'd love for you to drop by and say hello in the forums, and you can become a fan there, too! You can also check out ratings and reviews there. 

  Thanks for your patience as I try to keep up with comments, messages and updates today; it's been wild!

WOW..... I'm officially shook! What an incredible start to the Crystallo campaign! 

200 backers have raised over $4,200 in less time than it took me to recover from hitting the launch button!
 

Feeling. The. Love.

I'm so thankful to everyone who has backed today, not to mention all the amazing designers, publishers, and content creators that have helped me to get here! I'm beyond excited to get this game out there and into more hands and onto more tables. Also big shoutout to my awesome big brother who put the trailer video together for me. (If you didn't check it out yet, I highly recommend it.) 

Since you've unlocked the first stretch goal, I'm revealing the next two-- 

So exciting! Also, if you haven't checked out the social quests section of the campaign, I hope you will! I'm really excited for the rest of this month and I hope you are too!
 

Thank you all again for making today such a successful and exciting one!
