The final guest artist reveal is from a FROG expert: chibigreen! THIS🎵 FROG🎵 IS🎵 ON🎵 FIREEEEEE!

Get this Fire Frog card and over 40 unique guest artist frog cards EXCLUSIVE to the Backerkit edition of POND!

There's several more guest artists to be revealed still but I'll be using them to accompany our production updates so please look forward to more whimsical frogs~

This means every backerkit edition of POND will now contain WOODEN lilypad tokens for the frog meeples to sit on instead of punchboard tokens!

I genuinely cannot thank everyone enough for their excitement and support. I can't wait to make POND into the best version if itself for everyone!

I also feel like I have to share this compliment I received in my discord server recently from one of the playtesters of POND. Going to be riding this high for a while.



So if you are still on the fence about backing POND, please consider giving it a chance! You won't regret it!!!

Also Nolan's Tarnished Frog absolutely crushed the poll in a landslide in who would win in a fight, BUT now we have to ask, WHICH FROG WOULD YOU ADOPT???

On this lovely April day of Fools, we welcome the most esteemed of guests to the POND, the Hen with a Necktie!

Henxtie is an incredibly talented anime illustrator who has given birth to many VTuber models and was also one of the artists on my Genshin Tarot fan project!

I absolutely love her adorable mascot and am so happy to bring the most adorable and totally normally named chicken to the game in the Backerkit exclusive Art Friends expansion~

I feel very blessed that I have so many artist friends who have joined POND as a guest artist so not all of the cards will be revealed before the campaign ends. Instead I'll be revealing them with every update as we go through production.

At this point there are over FOURTY artists in the Guest Artist expansion. That is a TON of adorable gameplay content added to every Backerkit Edition of Pond for free! Seriously what an incredible value!!!

We also only have 2 more days before the campaign ends and we are SO FREAKING CLOSE hitting the 100k stretch goal!!!



With so many way too bad ass guest art frogs, we have to do another poll. Which guest artist frog would win in a fight?

Our next guest artist is a mutual that I have a TON of respect for, CHIROFISH!!!

Chiro is an incredible artist and designer that I've been following for almost half a decade now. I LOVE her apparel, plushies, and bags. Plus her OC Irobun is absolutely ADORABLE.

Find her merch store at chiro.fish, you will not regret it!



Plus we've hit $90,000 in funding!!!! WE ARE SO CLOSE TO WOODEN LILYPADS!!!

With only 3 days left in the campaign, this is the FINAL STRETCH. If you want an incentive to share the campaign, join my discord server for instructions on how to participate in our referral contest! Even 1$ referral backers enters you into a drawing to get your very own Frog idea or Pet added to the game as a card!

In collaboration with The Sock Designers, I am excited to offer some adorable POND socks as an add on.

The Sock Designers are big board game fans and they've done several collaborations with tabletop companies such as Dice Tower or the adorable indie game Parks & Potions!

Each pair is made from 85% combed cotton and 15% nylon and elastane for extra stretchiness. You'll be able to add them to your order for only 10$ a pair. 

Today's guest art promo is from my good friend, Mistious Star!

Not only did she participate in several of my fan projects, Mistious also did the Enamel Pin designs for my first original IP board game: Re;ACT - The Arts of War!

Very happy to bring some GAS to this project with the frog that toots!

We also did several streams of full POND playthroughs!

It was so awesome watching Sam and Coco play POND! I was not on the stream, just in the background answering questions as needed, but at the end both of them were big fans of the game~ Super grateful they gave the game a chance!

I first met Candice at Pax Unplugged last year showing off the just delivered Re;ACT - The Arts of War and she became a big fan of the game! Candice is a full time employee of BoardGameGeek, the biggest online website and community for board game lovers, and Re;ACT was her top 1 vs 1 game of 2024!


We're only 14k away from the BIG stretch goal of this campaign, which is turning the Lilypad tokens into wooden pieces!!! SO CLOSE!!! I'm turning up my ad spend but ultimately, nothing is as effective as word of mouth, so please keep sharing the game with your co-workers, friends, and gaming groups!
