8 months ago – Mon, Jul 28, 2025 at 05:54:36 AM

Hey Everyone!

WOW, what a journey this has been! As the title says, we’re down to the last 2 days of the campaign! We want to thank every single one of you who joined us on this wild and wonderful ride. Your support has meant the world, and we’re feeling confident that we’ll have a strong final push to help unlock more stretch goals before the campaign ends.

Here are a few quick updates as we head into the final stretch:

🐱 Cat Name Tag Contest - Final Call to Vote!
There’s still a little time left to vote! We didn’t post an official final call yesterday, so we’re extending the voting deadline one more day, until the end of today (July 28th).

We’ve received 648 unique votes so far, and many of the entries are neck and neck. If your pet is in the contest, make sure to share the voting link one last time with friends and family!
The voting form will officially close tonight.

🎲 Gen Con - Here We Come!
Myself, Ammon, and Melanie are all heading to Gen Con tomorrow (July 29th), which also happens to be the final day of the campaign. Due to travel and the busy convention schedule, we may be a little slower to respond to messages, but don’t worry, everything is running smoothly.
We’ll post a big update after Gen Con with details on what comes next and announce the winner of the Cat Name Tag Contest.

🚨 Important: We’ll reach out to the contest winner via Kickstarter DM and email. Please respond within 5 days to avoid any delays. If we don’t hear back, we’ll move on to the next eligible entry.

Thank you all again for being a part of this incredible journey. Let’s make these last 48 hours count!

🎲 Gen Con Demo: Come Say Hi!

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be at Gen Con next week, and we’ll have the latest prototype of Cats Vs Cucumbers at the show!
Our manufacturer is hand delivering the newest version to us, which is a huge deal as it gives us the opportunity to check the print and material quality before giving the green light for full production.

If you’re attending, come visit us at the Envy Born Games booth (#2659) to check it out in person and say hi!
