Hey Homies
First off, we hope this email finds you as well as possible. These have been difficult times for everyone and we are no exception. We realize many of you have been eager to get your 3D Big Boss tokens and extra dice so let's get into some updates.
In December of 2019 we began the Big Boss token project. After many rounds of testing and prototyping we streamlined a process that would allow us to create a large inventory of Big Boss tokens quickly and affordably but without compromising quality. We took January off... then Covid happened. Without being able to get the team together we were forced to start from scratch and compartmentalize the process. We wanted to document the molding, the sculpting, the 3D printing and everything in between. Instead we had to create a few by hand each day until we were able to meet up again and produce en masse.
We are so proud of these bastard beauties and we hope you love them too! Let us know what you think about them and please paint 'em up and share your pictures with us! We would love to see them.
All skulls, dice and the remainder of our international orders will go out in the next two weeks. If your mailing address has changed in the last six months:
PLEASE DIRECT MESSAGE US HERE WITH YOUR NEW ADDRESS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Shipping to Europe has been very unreliable in recent months. We have lost several overseas orders and decided to wait to re-fulfill these, but we can not wait any longer. Tracking numbers will be available again once we ship everything out and we will update again once this is complete.
Many of you have been following us since our first Kickstarter and for that we thank you. Since that time, Thug Life and our designer Jason Serrato has been the subject of a documentary called Gamemaster. We are very excited to announce that Gamemaster releases on Amazon and iTunes on July 7th!
If your fans of Susan McKinley, Bruno Cathala, Matt Leacock, Reiner Knizia, Elan Lee, Scott Rogers or Nashra Balagamwala run don't walk to check out Gamemasters! It is a great film and you can get a lot of insight into the process of what it really takes to create a modern board game.

Many backers have asked us about convention appearances. We, like the rest of our peers were forced to cancel everything all appearance this year. No PAX, no Burning Cat, no Gen Con, no irl panels etc. At this point in time, we do not know what our next steps will be. What we do know is that we will absolutely be back! Stay tuned for updates on upcoming activations and promotional events.
As of this update we have some inventory of Thug Life left along with a handful of skull and extra dice. There are currently no plans for a second printing of Thug Life and once they are gone, they are gone! Please visit us at the link below to see what's left in the Stash!
Those two pictures should be worth two thousand words!
As of today ALL domestic orders have shipped! To our friends and family in LA, please reach to arrange a pick-up party and we would be happy to take care of you. We will tackle out of country orders next week and update accordingly.
Our team is so tired but it was totally worth it to make sure you all got your games before Christmas!
As gamers ourselves, nothing crushes our faith in game creators more than to see"walk-in" customers get games before backers or enjoy early access and special deals at conventions before backers so this was a big priority to us.
Check out that beauty of a prototype! The finished models will be hand made and hand polished and will not have those printing lines. The definition is sharp and it fits perfectly into the well we built into the Thug Life vacuform tray.
We are still experimenting with several approaches to mold making but rest assured, you will get a beautiful piece of art! The Skull will ship along with the extra dice when they arrive from the manufacturer. We expect to ship these early next year and will know more soon.
When our Thug Life games landed a couple of weeks ago we went into a mad dash carving out as much time as we could to handle all the orders. Now that these are off we will transition into the retailer sales and event appearances to get Thug Life out to a new generation of Homies.
We have a small amount of overstock and extra dice and may have a few extra skulls for sale as well. We will post another update once our Shopify store launches, so if you enjoy Thug Life please tell a friend and please give us a big fat 10 on boardgamegeek.com as a thank you!
We will be back with another update before New Years but will be taking some time off for the holiday.
Until then, Merry Christmas Homies!
Homies! Thug Life is here!
We skipped out early on our Thanksgiving dinners to meet our freighting company bright and early Friday morning and this happened!
We spent the whole weekend counting every pallet, box and case. Everything in the game looks and feels great and we couldn't be happier! Our box finish exceeded our expectations. The colors on the figures pop and slot into their bases nicely. The jigged board fits flat and perfect. The vacuform is sweet and fits sleeved cards. The beveled dice look even better in real life. The card quality is really nice and our Hood boards fold easily and crisply. We'll post pictures in a future update.
The bad news, however, is that our extra dice shipment is late. Which bring us to...
We are doing fulfillment ourselves and it's a tremendous amount of work. We do not know the exact date which we will begin shipping but will update everyone as soon as possible.
As we get closer to the Christmas it's really important to us to get you your copies of the game in time for the holiday. Who wants to celebrate Christmas if your Aunt or Tia can't raid your Hood?
And finally, without further ado, check out our 3D final of the Big Boss token Kickstarter exclusive! Let us know what you think on our Facebook page. We will definitely share more skull production pics In our next update!
