Latest Updates from Our Project:

Moonshine Empire (Prototype Version) hitting tables around the country!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Oct 08, 2020 at 02:02:29 AM

Hope you all are doing well, thanks for patiently waiting for an update.  We have been quite busy and wanted to share some fun news with all of you!

All of the Moonshine Empire prototype copies have been shipped out to those backers, and we have been getting some fun photos and responses from them!

Thanks so much to those of you who have shared these photos and stories with us, we cannot tell you guys how much it means to us to see other people enjoying the game that we put so much love and time into, you guys rock!

The stories and emails we have received are a continued reminder of why we love Moonshine Empire!


Now on to the update!

We have had conversations and meetings with over 7 different board game manufacturers and after much difficult deliberation we have chosen the company that we believe will be able to make Moonshine Empire better than we could have imagined with the best quality components due to their fantastic track record of making great quality games! They have already begun designing the injection molds for all of the plastic components to be manufactured in large quantities. We have been working diligently with our manufacturer to check and re-check every little detail!

The Late Pledge is still available on Backerkit for those of you who have not scooped up a copy yet, be sure to head over and scoop up a copy as we are getting closer to zipping this up!

You can access the Late Pledge by clicking here:

Thanks again so much for your support, and stay tuned for a very fun upgrade update that we know everyone will love!

Moonshine Empire Prototype Tier Shipped!
over 3 years ago – Sun, Aug 09, 2020 at 01:45:32 AM

We hope you are all having a fun and safe summer filled with family game nights and backyard BBQs!

We are excited to share a fun update with you guys.  We recently boxed up and shipped out all 20 games in the "Prototype Copy" Tier!  Those backers will be receiving their games in the mail this week!

This was super fun for us as it means we have officially filled some orders, and at least a few folks out there can start enjoying Moonshine Empire right now!  It also bring us one step closer to fulfilling everyone's pledge and allows us to focus on completing all the tiny details required for the manufacturer!

We are still on track to hit the delivery date of early 2021, and will keep you guys posted along the way as we do our best to make this the best darn Moonshine game ever!

As always, thanks for your support, stay safe, have fun, and play games!

New Artwork and Status Update on Moonshine Empire!
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jul 02, 2020 at 12:04:09 AM

Much has happened in the past month, and we wanted to update all of you on the progress we are making to complete Moonshine Empire!

First, we have been working hard with our amazing artist Camron Brown to create and illustrate the remaining Customers at Pappy's Tavern, and we could not be happier with the results!  We feel that these Customers will add fun and feeling to the game everytime it hits the table!  Here are a few examples:

Speaking of when the game hits the table, we have also been working hard on prototype designs for the plastic tray insert that will come with every copy of the game and was unlocked in the Stretch Goals!!  (Just a mini version so far... but we are pretty excited about how it turned out!)

Thanks again to everyone for believing in us and for giving us a shot to make the best darn Moonshine game we can possibly make, we are doing our best and are excited as Moonshine Empire moves closer and closer to manufacturing!

Stay safe, have fun, and play games!
