$500k! 

We are so appreciative for all of your support and we're working as hard as we can to really make these to live up to their name of The Ultimate Boardgame Backpack!

This is a pretty neat Stretch Goal because it maintains the full protection of your games with the added benefit of easier storage of the backpack with a few foldable panels built in.  

As we've mentioned a few times we're looking for your input for the $600k Stretch Goal for a fourth backpack color and we know you won't let us down!

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Hey everyone, 

We're happy to announce that we've posted the new Add-Ons on the campaign page! We're also looking into some additional really cool add-on products and working up new Stretch Goals assuming we can push through our next couple!

 Right now we've just got renderings of the Quad-Mod up and we're still working up renderings of the waist strap while we wait for the actual samples but these are both gonna be top quality just like The Ultimate Boardgame Backpack!

Any questions about the add-ons feel free to send a message or post a comment. We'll also be posting a link to a survey we're putting together with some questions about color preferences for the new color option and some other questions about your gaming habits to help us with some of the other Add-Ons and stretch goals we're working on. 

Thanks so much for all your support and a special thanks t all of you that have helped spread the word about this campaign! If you haven't shared it please take 7 seconds to help get the word out!

New Stretch Goals Unlocked and Posted!
almost 6 years ago – Tue, Jun 12, 2018 at 09:14:48 PM

Hi all, 

Just a heads up to let you know that we've posted new locked and un-locked Stretch Goals on the campaign page!

We've also put up basic info for Add-on options and should have some mock-up images and pricing updated in this section within the next couple of days once we confirm all the final details with the factory. 

 So basically, we've added a tiny nylon webbing loop to every backpack making it compatible with the padded waist strap we've designed. 

We'll also be offering a super cool module the exact size for the extended game section which will be a double fold out with 16 velcro mesh pockets and a matching 16 zippered mesh pouches to organize your pieces, tokens, coins & miniatures!

Here's the basic "rough" design drawing for the new module:

We'll update the Add-on section once we have more detailed drawings/images & pricing for these new add-ons!

Thanks so much for all your support and great feedback and suggestions! 

If you can take 8 seconds to share our campaign with a friend or two that you know would love this bag we'd really appreciate your help in spreading the word!

Updated information

Hey everyone!

Thanks to all of your support we've unlocked the remaining Stretch Goal backpack color (my favorite:) Navy blue with lime green as a secondary color! 

Stretch Goals & Add-ons:

We've had a bunch of suggestions for new Stretch Goals and we're in the process of putting together all the information and gathering the specifics from the factory to make sure our ideas possible. So far we're looking into a few Stretch Goals for added backpack features as well as backpack add-ons for making boardgame portability even easier! We'll be announcing these in the very near future. 

Dimension Clarification: 

In the meantime, we had a bunch of questions about specific games which are a bit larger than the 16.5" high main compartment and we tried to explain that there are a couple of inches of flexibility since the floor of the top compartment can be unattached on the back wall and longer games can fit in. Check out the updated specs image for more info on that!

Travel Information: 

Next.. we had a bunch of questions about using this backpack as a carry-on bag for travel. We've updated this as well!

And last but not least thanks again for all of your support especially to those of you that have been so kind as to share the campaign with your friends to help spread the word! 

If you haven't had a chance to share yet (or even if you already did!) we'd really appreciate it!

First day & first Stretch Goal Unlocked! - Canadian Shipping Update!
almost 6 years ago – Thu, Jun 07, 2018 at 08:39:05 AM

Hey all, 

Wow! What an exciting day! 

 We funded in about 2 hours and 3 minutes and reached our first Stretch Goal in under 12 hours!

Stretch Goal Unlocked!

New Canadian Shipping

After tremendous legwork we were able to secure a Canadian HUB so that our buddies in the North can get discounted shipping by having their shipments sent from a local warehouse thus eliminating most if not all of the duties & customs fees (catch that Michael W? no mention of VAT ;) 

We just updated the shipping info on the campaign and pushed the Canadian bag shipping charge from $12 to $16 BUT switched from a U.S. based Fedex shipment to a Canadian fulfillment house shipment! YAY!! - Be advised the price per additional bag did not increase so feel free to take full advantage and bulk order together with your friends!

Thanks for all the great support & feedback (except that dude who never backed a KS project before and said he'd rather use a $5 Ikea bag. No thank you to that guy).. but to the rest of you.. thanks so much and keep your suggestions and questions rolling in and we'll be working as hard as we can to get back to all of you and to keep track of all the great ideas!

Last but definitely not least, if possible to take 9 seconds of your time to try to help us get to the next Stretch Goal it would be awesome!
