Gencon 2026!
about 1 month ago – Mon, Jul 27, 2026 at 07:02:49 PM

Hey Everyone!

We are excited to share that we were able to air freight our first batch standard edition of Scales of Influence and it has arrived on US soil! This will be available for pick up at our Gencon booth 2938! Surveys to follow, so you can choose to pick up or it will be delivered.

Along with this shipment, we will reserve all the copies for our standard edition backers, so any that aren't able to be picked up, will be shipped out as soon as we return from Gencon. So you can expect your standard edition sometime by mid August!

For our tarot-deck only backers, we are hoping for those to come over on the boat with the rest of our first print run sometime in August. We expect them to be in hand in September.

As for the deluxe edition (with functioning scale), we are wrapping up design and should start production in the next month. We'll share a delivery date once the manufacturer gives us a timeline.  We want to ensure we deliver a high quality product and further updates will be sent soon!

Thanks so much for all the support!

Cheers

Art Update and Gen Con
about 1 year ago – Fri, Jul 11, 2025 at 02:48:18 PM

Hi Fellow Travelers,

I have gotten back some of the art work that your pledges helped us create and am so excited to share a piece with you.

This one is named The Connection from an artist in France, Anais who has taken on three pieces for the deck!

Traditionally, in tarot this is The Lovers card however, I wanted to represent a different perspective that focused more on the love that you have for yourself, your friends, your community. The connection that is built can be for a moment, a season, or a lifetime but, all are important. Tarot, games, and cacao is something that people can really connect over and I  can't wait for you to be able to experience it with you circle.

This piece has me truly reflecting on all the connections I have made while on this journey of creating this deck and game. From the artists, other designers, and of course the people like you who are supporting this early on I truly am grateful.

And as we prepare for Gen Con in just a few weeks I am so excited to connect with anyone who maybe attending this convention. Please stop by booth 2937 and say hi! There will also be some fun things I will announce soon!
