Introducing Too Many Draculas!

 

 

Hurray!! Spooky season is upon us and it's time to start the next MeStarter!

You remember MeStarters, my self-created, limited run board games: Escape from Rotter Mansion, Oh No! There Goes Tokyo and I DO MY OWN STUNTS! You might even own a few of them. (and thank you if you did!)

 

Each MeStarter begins with an objective. This latest one is to create, design and produce a board game that exceeds the success of the previous game! What does success mean? I remember when I worked in video games, I was sitting in a board meeting and the head of the company said that since our previous game earned 4 million dollars, the sequel will earn 8 million dollars. I thought to myself, "that's dumb. You should aim for 4 million and 1 dollar to consider the sequel to be a success." But, I was just the creative director so I kept my mouth shut. The company went under next year.

Since my last MeStarter sold 100 units, I will consider it a success if I sell 101 games. Now, I would love to sell more, but I have no control over that. That's where YOU come in! 

Just like with my previous MeStarters, I will start with an idea and you'll get to back it and watch it grow into a real game! I'm sure that you have some questions.

 

1. What's the game? I don't know yet, but it will have Vampire Meeples and it will be called "Too Many Draculas"! I've already started working on the artwork inspired by old-timey Halloween art:

 

As always, I will post the progress of the production of the game here on this blog and my social media. Follow along to join in the fun!

 

2. How much will this game cost? Unfortunately the costs of components and printing has gone up since the tariffs. I expect that the game will cost around $65 - 75 plus shipping. I know that seems high, but I will do my best to keep that cost as low as possible. Remember, this is a bespoke product and like all of the other MeStarters, only a limited number of games will be produced.

3. When will I get the game? That depends on how long it takes to produce. A fair estimate is Spring of 2027, but again, I will do what I can to get it made and sent to you as soon as I can!

4. How can I sign up? I'm working on a landing page but if you are interested in backing the game, send me an email with the title I WANT TOO MANY DRACULAS! to me at mightybedbug@gmail.com

I look forward to you joining the fun! Let's make a game!
