The Red Light Expansion Update

We are glad to announce the final WHO / WHAT / WHERE cards for the Red Light Expansion! The items we will be adding are "The Madam" another WHO character that you will be able to play in the game. "Roll the Dice" another WHAT card that will be added as well. Along with "The Casino" that will be the WHERE card. That is not all though, we have decided to include a new informant card that called the bootlegger that will be assisting our Madam in her completely 'legal' business ventures. With that said that is all for our Red Light Expansion update. The video below will go over some of the art for these cards.

Add-On Update

We are excited to announce that the play mat design is now done! That is it folks and there will be a nice little video below that will show the play mat in its full glory.

Table Top Simulator Update

As stated in the "Howdy Howdy January Update" we mentioned that we were attempting to clean up and streamline the gameplay for The Big Shuffle. We have made some significant progress on this and we intend to update our Table Top Simulator version so you all may play and try it out for yourselves. As soon as the finalized version has been ported to Table Top Simulator there will be another update dedicated to that.



Thank you for your time and patience. This covers everything for now and we will give another update as soon as we get some more work done!

Urgent Post Kickstarter Update!
over 4 years ago – Wed, Feb 02, 2022 at 12:34:05 AM

Hello you may notice it is February 1st and the Survey and Post Pledge Manager are not posted yet. This is a small update to inform you that BackerKit is currently reviewing our Post Pledge Manager and we need their approval in order to continue with this process. At most it will take 2 business days for review so expect it to be released this week. When BackerKit approves our surveys please respond to them since that is the method we will be using to gather your shipping address.

Howdy Howdy January Update!

The Base Game

With our game being confirmed to be made, we are ensuring that we give this game as much polish as possible! The two areas we are looking at are making the game more engaging & streamlining the main gameplay loops. There were some loose edge cases that came up along with clarifications that needed to be made as we continued to play our game in playtests. As we continue to test the game, we will be giving updates here and be updating the game version on Steam! The version on Steam will be kept up to date and regularly updated as long as we make changes before we ship out our physical game.

Expanding Our Horizons

Not only are we continuing to work on our base game, we are also working on our expansions. The three things we are working on are new characters, new locations, and the final playmat design that will be shipped out. We now have a version of our new character "The Madam" and a layout for our physical playmat. All feedback will be taken into consideration. Let us know what you think!

 A BackerKit Update

Last but not least, for those who have already backed us for this game, we need to give an update on the Post Pledge Manager - BackerKit. We intend to open the Post Pledge Manager to everyone on February 1st, 2022. Along with that being available to all, we will also want your feedback on everything we have done so far. To gather that feedback, a survey will be sent out to everyone so that we can look over everything in an organized fashion! For other logistics that need to be generally announced, the prices are still being calculated. Once we get accurate quotes from our manufacturers, the Post Pledge Manager will be available with finalized prices posted on it.


 We look forward to seeing your feedback and will take everything into account as best we can!

Post Pledge Manager - BackerKit

Just as the title says folks we will be using the post pledge manager called "BackerKit". They are a company that assists both backers and companies with shipping and selling the game as well as the add-ons post campaign. We will go into more detail about how to access and use BackerKit closer to February 1st when it opens.


With the unexpected amount of success, we are ensuring that we take our time to fulfill the amount of orders we received. To give some expected but clarifying insight, we are tying in multiple manufacturers and will ship out the base game, expansions and accessories all in ONE package to you!


Thank you for your patience and we look forward to continuing to give updates on what is going on. :)
