Good Cop Bad Cop 4th Edition and Zombies Expansion

Credit Card Charging and Address Locking Tomorrow
29 days ago – Fri, Jun 28, 2024 at 07:19:05 AM

Fellow Officers,

We're getting close now and still ahead of schedule! Please see below for updates on manufacturing, shipping, credit card charging, and address changes.

Credit Card Charging Tomorrow

The manufacturing is expected to finish soon, which means the freight shipping phase is about to begin. That's the part where we send the finished games to fulfillment centers. It also means it's time to charge credit cards for the cost of shipping and anything added on in BackerKit. We'll be charging those tomorrow, on June 29th.

Locking Mailing Addresses

Since shipping is about to begin, we need to lock down mailing addresses to begin preparing for the fulfillment phase. Tomorrow we will also start the lock down process of mailing addresses. Please log-in to BackerKit to make sure your address is up-to-date. And if you are moving in late July through September, please let us know with a Kickstarter message or email to [email protected] so we can work with you individually on an exact shipping date to make sure your reward gets to the right address.

San Diego Comic Con

We'll be at San Diego Comic Con next month! We will be in the tabletop area showcasing Good Cop Bad Cop 4th Edition, the Zombies expansion, and Crash & Grab so keep an eye on our social media accounts (Instagram, X, Discord, Facebook, Threads) for pictures and we'll likely post some in an August Kickstarter update too.

Thanks for your patience, officers. Please feel free to send us a Kickstarter message, comment, or email at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Manufacturing Progressing and New Video
about 2 months ago – Sun, Jun 09, 2024 at 10:05:41 AM

Greetings officers!

TLDR: We're still ahead of schedule so you can expect your rewards to be in your hands in September.

Manufacturing Update

The games are still being produced and that will continue throughout June and into July. We are making new print runs of the base game, all expansions, and the Kickstarter extras, so it's a very large and complicated print run when you include all of those things. 

We haven't yet gotten the first copies off the production line, but we're expecting that to happen soon. Assuming that goes well, we should begin the freight shipping phase in mid-July and the local shipping to happen in August or early September. But what you really care about.... that means you should have your rewards in your hands at some point in September, which is 2 months earlier than we planned. That will line up nicely so you can host a Good Cop Bad Cop themed game day in September where you and your friends will surely be preparing your Halloween cop costumes for October.

BackerKit Charging Date: June 29th

We need to charge for shipping and add ons (anything from BackerKit) before we begin freight shipping so we know what to ship and where, so we're going to do that on Saturday, June 29th. You can log-in to BackerKit to see how much will be charged to you on that date.

Moving Soon?

We'll also be locking down mailing address changes around June 29th as well. You'll get an email with a last change to change your address when that date gets closer. But if you know you will be moving in July, August, or September, please send us a Kickstarter message or email us at [email protected] so we can work with you individually during the shipping process to make sure your package does not get lost in the moving shuffle. You can log-in to BackerKit to change your mailing address.

Next Game Trailer Released!

We released the video trailer for our next game, Crash & Grab! 

The landing page has a link where you can be the first to vote on the background music we use for the video that goes to Kickstarter. 

We'll keep posting quick updates in between these bigger ones so you can always check there for the latest. And in the next bigger Update in about a month, we should be able to narrow down the shipping window even more. Talk to ya then!

BackerKit Surveys Locked and Manufacturing Begins
3 months ago – Mon, Apr 15, 2024 at 08:39:03 AM

Greetings Officers! All good news in here. TLDR: We're ahead of schedule!

Manufacturing Begins

Since the last update, we've been very busy working with the manufacturer on submitting print files, scouring the proofs for typos, and deciding on final order quantities.

Below is an example of one sheet of proofs in case you're curious -- these are for the cards in the Undercover Expansion. There are about 50 of these in total we've been going through during the proofing process.

But we are happy to report that the proofs are fully approved so the manufacturer can begin manufacturing as soon as they have an opening in their production schedule.

BackerKit Surveys Locked

Since we had to submit order quantities, we locked all the BackerKit surveys so that item quantities cannot be changed. Let us know if you need to make changes as I'm sure we can still accommodate them.

Moving Soon?

Although the BackerKit surveys cannot be modified anymore, you can still change your address. If you need to do that, just log-in to your survey using the link you were emailed or this one.

Credit Card Charging

Your credit card will be charged for all BackerKit orders just before we're ready to start shipping, which will be toward the end of May. We should be able to give you an exact date in the next Update, which should be in about a month.

As always, send us a Kickstarter message or email [email protected] if you have any questions.

Officers Dismissed!

Pledge Manager Closing and Last Chance to Get Your Name on the Big Box
4 months ago – Tue, Mar 19, 2024 at 09:32:10 AM

Greetings officers! We are making good progress on pre-production efforts and everything is still on schedule.

Pledge Manager Closing

The BackerKit survey will close in less than a week -- thank you to everyone who has filled it out! We still have 13% of backers who haven't though, which is surprisingly high for it being out this long. Send us a message or email [email protected] if you have any questions.

Filling out the pledge manager survey will finalize your order, but we won't charge you until just before we start shipping, which is at least 2 months away. Everyone has until March 25th to complete it to avoid delays in receiving your reward. 

Last Chance to Get Your Name on the Big Box

On March 26th, we will submit final print files and the quantity of each item to the manufacturer so they can start printing. That means you also have until March 25th to complete that pledge manager survey because it asks for the name you want on the Big Box for those of you who pledged for it. Once it hits March 26th, no more names can be added, even if you complete the survey and include your name after the deadline.

Pull the Pin Agents Discounts

I was mistaken in previous updates where I said the Pull the Pin Agents discount should work for everyone -- it is actually only meant to work for add ons. But we'll stand by giving everyone who couldn't get their promo code to work complimentary credits even if you didn't add anything on. Anyone who was able to get their promo code to work will have their complimentary credit removed because we can't afford to give it twice.

Dice Tower West

I (Brian) went to Dice Tower West in Las Vegas last week and demo'd Good Cop Bad Cop 4th Edition, the Zombies expansion, and our next game, Crash & Grab. It was such a great con. The hall was spacious and quiet, the board game library was comprehensive, the staff and attendees were friendly, they had a bunch of live events, and it being in Vegas meant there were tons of restaurants and attractions (like Omega Mart!) you could go to if you want a break from board games. Hopefully you can make it out to DTW some day!

That's all for now. As always, send us a Kickstarter message, comment, or email us at [email protected] if you have any questions.

BackerKit Coupon Codes
5 months ago – Mon, Feb 26, 2024 at 01:35:16 PM

Greetings officers! Thank you for everyone who has completed your survey so far! If you haven't, you'll find an email in your inbox with your survey link or you can log into BackerKit here. You'll have until March 25th to complete it to avoid any delays.

Pull the Pin Agent Coupon Codes

As many of you know, you can get a coupon code if you are a member of our Pull the Pin Agents loyalty program. However, we found out the field to input those codes is only showing in the BackerKit pledge manager if you add something on to your order, so many of you will not see the field. For that reason, we've just added on a complimentary credit to your pledge manager equal to the discount you would receive.

No action is needed from you whether or not you have already completed your survey. However, if you'd like to confirm anyway, you can log into BackerKit here or use the link in your email, and you'll see a "complimentary credit" added to your order. Sorry for the confusion for those of you who experienced it!

BackerKit Payments

You'll notice that your credit card is not charged upon completion of your BackerKit survey. We will instead charge your card once manufacturing is complete and we've begun the freight shipping phase. That is likely to happen in ~June or so but we'll give you a heads up before we charge.

As always, if you have questions, add a comment, send us a message, or email us at [email protected] and we'll respond within 24 hours.

Thanks everyone!
