Thank you all so much for supporting this whimsical project of mine~

Now that POND is funded and guaranteed to be produced, I have some genuine Stretch Goals that simply will not be possible unless the print run is large enough to lower the per unit price to fit it all into a $60 game!

At 60k, I'll be adding an free sticker sheet featuring multiple small stickers of the Frogs of POND.

At 100k, I'll be upgrading the Lilypad tokens in the game from punchboard tokens to wood so that your frog meeples will sit on wooden pieces!

And at 150k, I'll be adding a playmat for the Frog Cards Shop to allow easy pick up of the cards you can buy!

Help make POND as premium as possible by sharing it with all of your co-workers, distant relatives, and whoever will listen to you!

I'll be attending ProtoATL next week to playtest POND all weekend long to make sure it's ready for open beta.
Once the Open Beta is live, I will be opening up a playtesting program where anyone who records and provides detailed reporting using our playtest feedback form for at least 3 games will get a free Pond T-Shirt added to their pledge!

We'll also be revealing some options for our enamel pin, included in the Indie Savior and Legend tiers, for everyone to vote upon~

Lastly, in case you missed it, Duo Leveling, the Twin VTubers, joined me in playtesting POND last night on youtube live!
You can watch the VOD here.

Side note, who wins this fight?

Only 6 more days until POND launches!

I am SO excited to have reached the huge milestone of 1500 followers!!!

To celebrate, I wanted to share the game overview graphic with ya'll.

What do we think? I wanted to make a game that was easy to learn but still a rather tactical experience. There will be a full how to play video on the page as well for those who want to get into the details.

If you want to help playtest the game, join my discord and self assign the playtester role!

Only 12 more days until POND launches on Backerkit oh my god

Looks like Cowboy and Wizard Frog are the most popular good boys of the factions so far, so I'd love to crowdsource some ideas for their Flavor Text before the campaign begins~



Every Faction gets their own unique deck of 10 starting cards, with 7 copies of their faction's Frog card and 3 copies of "Frog with a Knife".

So far, I'm really in love with the flavor text idea of "WHO GAVE HIM A KNIFE?" for Frog with a Knife. What do ya'll think would be fun for Wizard Frogs and Cowboy Frogs?

I can't believe there's over 1000 Frog lovers here awaiting the launch of POND! I'm so excited to show ya'll more about the game~

POND is my second original board game after Re;ACT - The Arts of War, and it is a thematic major pivot as a self indulgent game design since I am a just another millennial who loves cute frog art~

As we approach launch in just 15 days, I'd like to introduce you all to our four Froggy Factions: The Cowboy Frogs, Wizard Frogs, Pumpkin Frogs, and Banana Frogs? 🍌🍌🍌



Each faction has their own unique starting cards, faction powers, and of course, their own unique adorable meeples!!!

Each player will get 15 Frog meeples, 4 Fwooog meeples, and their own unique starting deck and faction reference card. Which faction do you think is the most adorable?
