BAHOOCHIE

Hi guys and gals,

Let me introduce you to my new card game: BAHOOCHIE!

If you have ever played Top Trumps then you'll know how to play BAHOOCHIE! It's a very similar game with a Scottish theme and a twist!

Players play with the set of creature cards. Each card features an unique eejit & has 4 categories: GLAIKIT-NESS (stupidity), BEEG & BRAWNY (strength), HAIVERIN' BAMPOT (talking nonsense) and FOOSUM FACTOR (stinkiness). Players battle with the cards trying to defeat the others and ultimately collect all the eejits for themselves.

However in the middle of the table are the BAHOOCHIE cards! At any point, they can change the way the game is played and how rounds are won! The first player to shout BAHOOCHIE! and touch the cards, gets to play one. The BAHOOCHIE! cards can help or hinder you. Sometimes you'll get a score boost, sometimes you may win all together or other times there may be dire consequences!

The game is currently running on KickStarter. If you pop yer peepers over to Kickstarter you'll get a wee video that explains the game a lot more than my measly words can!

Thanks for your time. Look forward to hearing what you guys think.

Cheers,

George

Markdown Links adds ...

http://www.bgdf.com/node/bit.ly/bahoochie

should be just

bit.ly/bahoochie

Relative links in html markdown always add the site you are on

bit.ly/bahoochie becomes http://www.bgdf.com/node/bit.ly/bahoochie

http://www.bit.ly/bahoochie is how you need to write it.

Nice!

@George: Your "Cartoony-Artwork" really looks FANTASTIC.

Yeeha!

Hey guys,

I thought I'd pop in and let you know that my BAHOOCHIE Kickstarter successfully funded last night! Thanks to everyone who helped and became a part of its success!!

To say it was a roller coaster ride is an understatement. Sleepless nights, worrying about what I'd do if it didn't fund, elation at the thought that it might, nervousness on the fact that I have all these orders to fulfil but ultimately I'm totally & utterly delighted that it successfully funded.

I didn't realise the amount of offers you'd get from crowd fund managers wanting to help (daily posts wanting to assist for a fee, of course). I was even offered a contract from a distributer in New York. As tempting as it all was, I managed to work it out. I consider myself very fortunate to have been able to achieve this without their help (I don't mean that in a mean way) and with the help of some great people and friends on the interwebs!

Facebook & Twitter posts were the greatest help and where most my pledges came from (that and people discovering the game on Kickstarter itself). I had some fantastic people retweeting and sharing posts (especially BGDF's very own BH Futurist who gave me some great tips), which I think was key. Instagram wasn't great but it did keep BAHOOCHIE in the minds of some I suppose. Posting a few pics of the game, teasing card designs and eventually pics of the 1st test print.

Anyhoo, it's been mad. But definitely something I'm going to try again.

If you have run a Kickstarter, what did you learn?

Thanks for reading my warblings!!

George

Congrats!

Wow! Great job! I'm so glad you've funded and have one big success under your belt! Perhaps you'll go on to run a 2nd campaign? If so good luck on that endeavor as well!

I want to second what you said about BH Futurist! He's really a helpful resource and always willing to be honest yet tactful. Glad you've got the same impression of him that I do.

Again, congrats!

Thanks

Thanks The Odd Fox. I'm gonna push BAHOOCHIE (oo-er!) as far as I can (maybe do an expansion if all goes well - dunno yet). But, yeah, new games may be in my future.

Cheers,

George
