Yearning to embark on a perilous journey of booty and betrayal, but you missed the campaign? Late-pledge We're Sinking now and be the first (after backers) to save the ship or save yourself! Shipping to be charged later.
Both social goals have been unlocked!
The base game will be getting two additional Treasure Cards. Meet the Water Pistol and the Rubber Ducky!

Apologies for the late news on this. We actually hit the 55k mark early yesterday morning!
We’ll be getting premium chipboard for our tokens because all of you are amazing! Next goal, higher quality box insert at 62k! We have less than a week left in the campaign. Let's keep the momentum going and get this ship ready for its next big sailing adventure!
We dive into each of the four main villains on the campaign page, but what about the Mini-Expansion Enemies? Time to meet The Navy!
The Navy is well-armed with state-of-the-art cannons that add 6 different attack cards in the form of cannons. When playing against The Navy, players will shuffle the 6 Cannon cards and then randomly pick 2 to be used as The Navy's special attacks. This creates even more replayability. Plus, the cannon cards have individual damage counters. When you deal damage to The Navy, you get to choose which cannon to focus damage on. Once both cannons are destroyed, The Navy is defeated!
We’ll talk about The Ghosts very soon.
We’re So close! As of right now the Facebook Social Goal is at 98% and the Instagram Goal is at 96% 😮
You guys are awesome! Hopefully, the next update will be revealing BOTH of the bonus Treasure cards.
That's it for this update. Until next time keep your boots dry and let's keep sailing into the unknown!
Cheers,

Happy Friday Everyone!
Just a quick update today.
The folks over at Tabletopia were kind enough to create a virtual version of We’re Sinking! Tabletopia is a free platform for most games and can be played on your browser. Check it out!
We have 9 days left and are well on our way to unlocking our 3rd stretch goal! On top of that, we’ve passed the 90% mark on both social goals! You all are crushing it!!
Cheers,
Joseph
We’ll be adding Spot UV to the Box Logo! For those unaware of what a spot UV is. This will give the logo a glossy finish that will pop against the rest of the matte-finish box artwork.
With completed stretch goals come new ones! If we can reach $62k we'll unlock a sturdier plastic for the box insert. With 10 days to go, this is a goal that feels very doable right now.
We’ve been sitting around 55% on the social media goals for the past week and I really want us to unlock those cards! So I’m going to be reducing the amount of follows required which will hopefully put us much closer to unlocking them. I’ve moved the facebook goal to 350 Group Members and I’m moving Instagram to 550 followers. Which puts us at 80% for both. I’m also adding a new social goal option. Joining our discord server will count towards both the Facebook and Instagram totals!
The folks at Tabletopia, reached out to me last week and asked if they could help make a playable version of We’re Sinking. Of course, I said yes! Their team has been rapidly putting the finishing touches on that now and I hope to have another update on the public launch in the next day or two.
Next week is the final week of the campaign but that doesn't mean we're ramping down. Be on the lookout for a new playtest against the dreaded Skullsairs with Quackalope and a game overview from Grant Lyon.
See you all next time!
Cheers,

This means we'll be getting fancy linen texture added to cards and tokens!
I created a new Add-on option so that you can order more than one copy of the game. You can now edit your pledges and add up to 4 extra copies of the game at the reduced $49 price.
A question came up on our Discord server yesterday, asking what material was used for the ship’s sails. I figured it was worth talking about here as well. The prototype sails are made from cardstock, printed, and cut to shape. During set-up, they are slightly bent and placed into the notches of the masts. They are stored in the box flat.
These sails have seen countless playtests and are still working just fine. However, I'm working to make sure that the final product is durable and stronger. One option we are looking at is a flexible PVC card material. While we’re on the topic I thought I’d share that once we get closer to shipping the game. I’ll be providing you all with a downloadable blank sail template. So that you can design, print and sail your ship under your own flag!
Our social goals are getting closer!
Facebook is at 52% Instagram is at 53%
That's it for today!
Cheers,
