About this project

The Game

Bats Outta Hell is a tabletop party game loaded with raunchy humor, truth-or-dare elements, as well as both board and card game play. The premise is simple; use fill-in-the-blank card game play to win Cloud Cards; The number on the Cloud Card determines how many spaces you move on the board. Some spaces have escalators, others have pipes. If you land on an escalator you skip ahead and must answer a "Divine Truth" question; alternately, if you land on a space with a pipe, you move backwards and have to complete a dare on a "Satan Dares You" pog. First player to The Gates of Heaven escapes Hell and wins the game.

The game will be available for free download under a creative common license, as well as in a professionally printed version for purchase. The bulk of our goal will be towards an initial production run, so that we can keep the price of each unit low both on our end and the consumer end. You're awesome already, and so is our game, so support us and become even MORE awesome! Pics now up in the updates section, video coming soon!

Here's what we've got cooked up for the professionally printed version:

A 20x20" game board

103 Cloud Cards

450 Flame Cards

60 Dare Pogs

60 Truth Pogs

10 player pieces

1 rules sheet, complete with alternative rules including a drinking game version, Apocalypse Mode, Chickenshit Mode, and more!

A nice box to keep it all safe from whatever demons haunt you.

(The free version has all the same stuff, except the box. And you'll have to print and cut it yourself.)

Other Stuff

It turns out the cost of starting a business, even a simple online one, isn't exactly low. The other part of the funding will be to officially make our company legal, as well as cover all other start-up costs.The dates on the rewards for the professionally printed copies of the game are set to September because there's a 2-3 week production period and kickstarter has a 14 day "window" if funding is reached after the goal date before we get the money. We really appreciate your patience.

Risks and challenges

The only risks or challenges I foresee are delays in production and shipping, which we can't do too much about. The only solution would be to try and cover expedited shipping once we receive the units.
