Ladies and Gentlemen!
We know that our supporters are looking to our stretch goals with worry. And they wonder how many will be unlocked. We prepared quite a few of them. But ideas and the game itself are not worth much without the players.
We don’t want those ideas, cool characters and additional elements we prepared for you to get left behind in a desk drawer.
It might be true that not all things in this campaign were done perfectly. We know that a lot of you liked the stretch goals and even declared you’re willing to buy them even if they won’t be funded. We are a young company and of course we care about profit – but we don’t want it all to come down to money.
Therefore, as a thank you to all of you, our supporters – we are unlocking them all! For free.
This is our token of gratitude for the trust you gave us despite this being our first campaign and the money you entrusted us with to fund our first game on Kickstarter. We are truly grateful for that!
Of course, after the campaign – as we wrote before, all of them will become separate products. But not for the community we gathered during this campaign!
Another review!
Our friends at Board Game Rundown sent us their new review about the Horror Game Show. We invite you to watch it and get to know their opinions!
Also, a new review was published on the Brettspiel News portal!
So, if you’re from a German-speaking country and you’re interested – we invite you to read it.
And we are still working on gaining new supporters and inviting them to the world we created!
Cheers!
Sebastian
More (about) Stretch Goals!

Ladies and Gentlemen!
Just like you guys, we are so happy to have our game funded. But we do care about unlocking as many stretch goals as possible – that’s why we decided to make some changes.
First of all, we consulted with our producer, and we will be able to get some of our stretch goals at new, lower levels.
Second of all, we will make some important changes in their order. We planned to make the change later, but it might be better to change them now and give the players a possibility of unlocking them earlier.
Third of all, we decided that with the support we received from you guys, we can (and maybe even have to) make a few stretch goals available right now. We really want to show our appreciation for the support and trust that you gave us and make the Kickstarter version of the game better than the one you’ll be able to get in a shop. Not only by adding expansions but also by enriching it with unique elements.
We would also like to assure you that we are not planning to stop on what we’ve already achieved, and we hope that during the next few days the campaign will kick into high gear. We are currently taking some steps that might REALLY help with that.
Cheers
Sebastian
We hit our goal… but that’s not all!

Okay so – we did it! Or rather – you did it!
There’s nothing else for me to say except thank you all so very much!
I know this may sound cliché, but one thing is to believe in your project and hope for people to appreciate it and spend money on it but putting it out there for the people to judge and seeing how it’s received is a whole other thing. And your reception has been incredible!
So for that, on behalf of the whole Bored Games crew, I’d like to thank you once more.
This is our first campaign, and we still have a lot to learn. But I’m sure that with your support and the community you created we’ll be able to do anything.
But not to focus only on hitting our goal and funding the game (although it truly is amazing), I’d like to tell you about a few other elements that we prepared for you and some elements we’ll create in the future.
First of all – our Early Bird character pack with Charles Murphy will be added as an add-on. Anyone who hasn’t managed to get him by supporting our campaign during the first 72 hours will be able to add him to their pledge.
Let me remind you that everyone who supports us with the All-in pledge will still get this character for free.
Second of all, as you remember a lot of you asked us to add a solo mode to the game. So many in fact, that it was impossible to ignore the idea. And so, a few days ago we announced that we are adding a solo mode to our game. But today we can announce something more.
We thought: What about making a board series out of this? And so that’s what we’ll do!
Therefore, we hereby announce that a special expansion will be created which will be a solo role play campaign!
The player, a young producer invited to lead one of the teams as a substitute for another studio, will be thrown in the whirlwind of events that can either lead them to fame and fortune or rid them of everything they worked so hard for.
Will they manage to fulfil their dreams? Will they trust new friends? On whose wrong side will they get on and who will become their sworn enemy?
Because I’m sure I don’t have to convince you of the number of intrigues, betrayals and maybe even worse things that await, right? A question remains – how will the producer deal with them?
The expansion will be named “Nasty Business” and will contain the whole campaign.
And if that’s not enough for you guys, we can tell you right now that the “PsychoFan” magazine will have other types of scenarios. Maybe they’ll be side events? Or maybe a continuation of the plot from the main campaign? And maybe we’ll even see a new expansion and a “second season”?
Whatever it may be, we are very excited to be able to deliver not only an amazing gameplay for your hangouts with friends (who will only be called that way before the game starts – we cannot guarantee you won’t hate each other after playing a few intrigue cards! ;) ) but also, a great story which will allow you to learn more about the world we created for the Horror Game Show.
More information on how that’ll be available - soon!
Third of all – we really hope that we’ll manage to unlock at least a few Stretch Goals. But in order to help with that – on Monday we’ll announce new types of Stretch Goals: socials.
This will allow us to reach more players, while at the same time allowing you guys to unlock a few extras without spending any more money.
That’s all for now. Again – thank you so much!
Of course, we are not stopping anytime soon, and we are planning something new already!
Be on the lookout!

Horror Game Show News! #3

Ladies and Gentlemen!
As promised, we worked hard, discussed a few issues and we are back with some fresh news.
Firstly – as you requested, we present you with the contents of the “Easy Money” expansion. It was planned to enrich what happens on the board and how it can influence the score of particular producers.
It introduces a mechanic of betting, with the currency being your victory points (the money you earn during the show). You can try to multiply them by betting on certain events, e.g.: who will win a given fight, whether somebody will complete a Challenge, how many players will die during this round (and will it be somebody specific).
It introduces an additional depth and an element of risk to the gameplay because your bets will become a “target” for other players – if you don’t manage to bet correctly, you’ll lose money! And if your bet is particularly fruitful – maybe others will try to form a temporary alliance only to rid you of your winnings?
In the picture you’ll see all the expansion elements, except the dice tower which we are still working on.
The next point of this update is Stretch Goals.
A lot of you asked what we prepared for them or how many there are. Some of you also mentioned that we don’t have enough of them currently and it stops you from supporting the campaign.
And so, we decided to reveal more. Firstly, because we want to show you what we prepared and secondly, because we’d like to give those who are still hesitant a good reason to consider our campaign again.
And lastly: new add-on, Horror Game Show Insert!
Together with the company Poland Games(E-Raptor) we created a dedicated insert for our box which will allow you to neatly sort your cards, tokens, markers, dice and all other box contents.
It was made to fit the exact dimensions of our box and it looks stunning! When ordering it during our campaign, you’ll get it together with the game (saving on the shipping costs).
You’ll find a picture of it below:
That’s all we have to say for now. We are working on a couple of new ideas. We’ll let you know more in future updates.
Thank you for being with us!
Cheers

Ladies and Gentlemen!
Thank you so much for all of your comments and suggestions. They are very important and valuable to us. And because we really want both our game and the whole campaign to be the best they can be, we spent this day on preparing a couple crucial elements, which we will publish tomorrow. They will contain answers to your questions and worries. We will also show you more content, not only regarding the expansions but also Stretch Goals.
Thank you again for your support and all suggestions.
We know the campaign could have been prepared better. We are not perfect. Neither is this campaign. We recognise that it might be good to prepare more material and convey it in a better way.
This is our first campaign. We are continuously learning and gaining experience. But we assure you that we will do everything in our power to improve what we can – and deliver what you expect.
