FUNDED IN 49 MINUTES?!

This was the best photo we could take, given our overall freakout.

This is crazy. When we set out to make a card game, never in a million years would we have expected this turn response. It's incredibly overwhelming. We’ve been working diligently to respond to every question, comment, and box of Doomlings cookies being sent our way.

Thank you Melanie's Bakeshop LA!

SPOTLIGHT: DINOLINGS

Right off the bat, we’d like to highlight the first of our Dinolings! These prehistoric little troublemakers are their own expansion pack, and will be included in the Black Box and Gold Box bundles!

Our first portrait of the Dinolings!
  •  Dermal Armor (colorless) lets you discard a trait from your trait pile. It’s great to shed unwanted traits, especially negative points.
  •  Carnosaur Jaw is a Dominant trait (red) it requires you discard 2 red traits in order to play, but it’s worth a whopping 9 points.
  •  Egg Predation (purple) let’s you steal another Dinoling from an opponent’s trait pile!
  •  Pterosaur Wings (blue) let’s you play an additional trait that’s purple for that turn.
  •  Thagomizer (green) forces all players, including yourself, to discard 1 trait from their hand. It can be effective in situations where players gene pools are already low, and also helps you cycle through cards!

STRETCH GOALS

We have a fun set of challenges that are designed to grow the Doomlings community and ultimately allow us to upgrade all of the rewards you’re getting. How does this work? 

  • It’s predominantly based on you sharing Doomlings on social media over the next 30 days! The more you share, the more new backers come in, the more bonuses are unlocked! 
  •  Bonuses include: shiny-material upgrades to every box, more Kickstarter Exclusive cards for every backer, Holographic dominant traits, linen finish to every card (making them air-glide when you slide them.) Plus, if we meet these goals, we’ll be adding even more bonuses!
  •  Challenges include fun things like "Post pictures of your pets on any social media platform with the hashtag #MyLittleDoomling or simply invite your friends to join our Facebook Community. (That’s where we post allz the memez.)

As the community grows, and we increase the number of backers, everyone gets upgraded rewards and bonus content! So keep an eye on “Trophy Road” and share Doomlings with the world! (We've already unlocked our first three trophies!)

LIVE STREAM TODAY!

We’ll be doing a live game demo of Doomlings today at 5pm PST / 7pm CST / 8pm EST. Simply head over to the Doomlings Community Group on Facebook, and join us!

CAPTAIN’S LOG

As storytellers, this game wouldn’t be complete without a bit of lore. Where did these Doomlings come from? Who discovered them? Are they all this mischievous?

The answer can be found in Captain Mary C. Anna’s explorer’s log, which will be posted to our Instagram Story every day of the campaign. Here’s the first dispatch from the Starboat Endeavor. 

FAQ’s

Finally, the FAQ section is live, and we’ll continue to update them, in order to be as communicative with you as we possibly can during this process. Feel free to check there for a quick answer to some of our most asked questions.

THAT’S ALL FOR NOW!

This has been a wild morning for us. We’ll have more updates as the campaign progresses! In the meantime, thank you for helping us bring Doomlings to the world!
