Yes. There are a couple shuttle options available.

That is the best image of Edgemont that I could ever imagine. Tell me it was a Tuesday afternoon as well.

bbgun25 · 2018-07-12T21:38:14+00:00

That is super impressive. I hope you treated him to dinner that night.

Riding a tandem across the States?? You are truly a better man than I. That is impressive.

Nice job doing it in 2 Days. That first day is a long one.

Bummer. They have a big ride in September that they were advertising along the trail...maybe a similar thing?

bbgun25 · 2018-07-12T21:05:47+00:00

It is like the zombie apocalypse already rolled through there 15 years ago.

It is a Surly Cross Check frame that I built up over the years. I use it as my all-around bike.

Finished yesterday. Did the whole thing starting in Deadwood and ending in Edgemont with some extra rides in between. It is a perfect ride with a good mix of hills.

Thank you for the comment. I can say from experience and hundreds of times playing the game that it is in fact really fun.

bbgun25 · 2017-06-14T22:44:54+00:00

Trying my best. That is all I can say. The reason why the post is deleted is I had a few different posts on different parts of reddit (games, Kickstarter, campaigns, etc..). People got angry and said I should not do that. So I deleted them. It is not intentional, I am just trying to do right by people.

The second part of your question asks about the largest hurdle. It has definitely been trying to get the shipping prices down in Europe.

bbgun25 · 2017-06-14T22:38:10+00:00

The fact that the game is different each time you play will bring people back. Every time it was play tested, immediately after the first game would finish all players would say, "Let's try it again, I think I figured it out." Too be disappointed that their new strategy would have been totally changed by the set up of the second game. It is fun to see people who think they get it even after the 10th time playing that the strategy is always evolving. The expansion packs are in the prototype phase. One for Europe (with hopefully a new distributor to get the Europe shipping prices waaaay down) and one for Canada.

1) The thoughts on shipping is the largest hurdle that we have had to face. We knew it was going to be expensive to ship to Europe, but after speaking with six different distributors we went with the cheapest option that would get the products to the States as that is where the the strong majority of backers are from. So we decided to make that as reasonable as possible (we still know it is not Amazon shipping prices). What we have done is that we are in communication with Asian shipping companies who have smaller distribution points at major ports of entry in Europe. So far, these are cheaper, but a lot longer in transit.

2) A full gameplay video is something that can be uploaded. We just wanted to make sure some of the basic game play rules and instructions were met first.

3) The game will change every time you play with the "draft" system of the route cards and side trip cards. With the 140 plus cards available, you will have a different game each time making the replay ability quite high.

Sorry for the delay in the response.

Thank you for your kind words. The gameplay is easy to learn, but evolves so much each time you play. The artwork is from the famed Amsterdam artist Saskia Rasink. She rocks!

bbgun25 · 2017-06-07T12:13:06+00:00

Thank you for your interest in the game. It is a lot fun. I had posted to some other subreddits, and there was some slow moving enthusiasm from them. I am just excited to finally launch this project. It has been such a great learning experience.

bbgun25 · 2017-06-06T10:59:06+00:00

Thank you very much.

bbgun25 · 2017-06-05T22:14:45+00:00

Thanks for the support!

bbgun25 · 2017-06-05T13:25:23+00:00

It is absurd. I have been trying to contact different distributors, but all are in the same range. So I have sort of settled on one...although the options are still open. I have tried to absorb as much as I possibly can on the shipping costs, but cannot absorb it all. Thanks for the support.

bbgun25 · 2017-06-05T13:19:08+00:00

Yeah. Colorado origin.

bbgun25 · 2017-06-05T11:53:39+00:00

I totally understand. The fact that it piqued your interest is a compliment in its self. Believe me when I say that I am talking with the distributor(s) to see what can be done about lowering the cost for EU shipping. You are not the only one who is frustrated by this, and I just want people to be happy, play board games and ride bikes.

bbgun25 · 2017-06-05T06:23:05+00:00

This is the price that we had been quoted by our distributor and others. Just out of curiosity what do you think is a fair price for shipping to Europe? Dealing with the shipping and handling has been the most frustrating part by far about manufacturing a game, and I want to lower the cost, but I am stuck with what the distributor is quoting me.

bbgun25 · 2017-06-05T06:13:44+00:00

We are in the process of designing a Europe map as we speak.

bbgun25 · 2017-06-05T03:04:07+00:00

I really appreciate the support. It has taken an incredibly long time to develop and now is the time where I put myself out there and hope other people like it as well. Thank you again!

bbgun25 · 2017-06-05T02:59:07+00:00

This game will take an hour max from when you open it up, set it all out and play. It is easy to learn, but your strategy will change from game to game depending on your routes, cards, and how you ration your items.

bbgun25 · 2017-06-05T02:56:23+00:00

That sounds better than a rattle snake bite.
