Update #13: Spiel and Surveys
over 10 years ago
– Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 03:04:42 PM
Dear Backers,
I wish to briefly update you on a couple of topics.
Spiel and the first print run:
We just finished a long process and proofed 98% of the game materials. The very first copies of Prime Time will arrive in time to Spiel, so we can hold our very first copies and sign copies of the games for the backers picking them up.
Improved component - game box:
We just approved the printer to laminate the game box with a nice matte varnish. It creates a much more luxurious box than we initially planned but well worth it :)
KS survey and Pledge Manager:
I will post a KS survey by next week so we can start gathering all data related to fulfillment. Also, I started to prepare the Pledge Manager. I hope to get it online and working in the upcoming days.
New upcoming game - Rome:
I wanted to update you about our new upcoming game ‘Rome: Rise to Power.’ It is another Spiel release that will be even more amazing to get in time for Essen.
I will not promote it through here. I just wanted to address my backers and let you know that this 2nd project is well thought out and planned so it will not hinder this project. Both games are very different from one another. I will post a link in the comments section for the backers who do wish to support our 2nd game.
I wish to thank all of you again.
Yours,
Elad
Update #12: What a Finale!

Dear Backers,
We just ended one of the most exciting projects I’ve run in awhile. You were all so supportive and helped me a lot along the way. I really appreciated your help as we head to the hard-working phase in our campaign - FULFILLMENT!
My colleagues and I worked this week like we have never done before to meet our deadlines. All of the artwork for the base game (and some of the very first Stretch Goals) are already proofed! We are headed to review the first color proofs and other print related matters.
Missing the last SG…
I was really heartbroken when we could not manage to get those three new Boardroom cards or reach the social media stretch goals on time either.
The good news is that I wish to give those two away as a bonus for your kind support.You can all still help us promote GEG and Prime Time by following us on Twitter and Liking our page on FB so you can stayed updated on Prime Time and all of our other games.

Pledge Manager:
Right now I am working with folks at PM to set-up this great platform. It will allow you to access all kinds of add-ons and special offers. I will update you all when it will be online and functional.
Survey:
I will post our survey in two weeks. You will get notified once they will be live and running.
Final Rules:
Our next step is to check and proof the final rules. We may need your assistance (once more!) to help Paul and I find any errors or typos we might have missed. I will post about the rules and proofing in our upcoming update.
Stretch Goals:
Naomi will start to work on the sketches for the Premium Talent deck as soon as we finish the rules. I will share with all of you and ask for feedback as we go forward.
Spiel `15:
We hope to get at least 150 copies to Spiel via express air shipment. This would cover all of our KS backers copies and a few more pre-orders that are pending our approval. We might open a reservation system for any fan of our game that wants to grab a copy at Spiel. I will provide you an update in my next post.
I am happy and excited beyond words right now I will be holding the very first copy of Prime Time in my hands in a matter of weeks!
I promise to work day and night to get your copies of Prime Time and all Stretch Goals delivered as quickly as possible.
Yours,
Elad
Update #7: New Client Tokens and production update
over 10 years ago
– Fri, Sep 04, 2015 at 12:31:24 AM
Dear Backers,
I am thrilled to let you know that Prime Time has reached another milestone. We passed the $17,500 mark!!!
This means that we have two new components in each copy of Prime Time!
Production update and future Stretch Goals:
I wanted to let you know that we have finished the pre-production process. This means that we know what will come in each box of Prime Time and what SG will become an expansion/add-on reward that will add up with each future SG.
These Stretch Goals are in each copy of PT:
- Upgraded Cards
- 2 new Show cards
- 2 new Talent cards
- 3 boardroom cards
- 2 new client tokens
- upgraded drawstring bag*
These Stretch Goals will be added to each copy free of charge:
- 4 new Network cards
- 3 New star Talents*
*still pending funding but I already ordered it!!!
The upcoming SG will not make it into the box. I figured that we can get wild on the unique cool cards that only KS backers will get. Those promotional cards might be sold at future conventions or added to any future edition of Prime Time.
These 9 new talents are a great addition to the Talent deck as they will make your TV guide shine with more star power!
Please rate them by rows on the main comment section. I wish to obtain your opinion on which talents you are most keen to see in your rewards.
Final words,
I wish to thank everyone so much! Thanks to all of you guys for backing my game and my entire team that makes crucial preparations and works tirelessly to finish production in time.
Yours,
Elad
Update #11: 5 Hours To Go - New SG and New Social Media SG
over 10 years ago
– Thu, Sep 03, 2015 at 12:33:56 PM
Dear Backers,
We did it! We funded another SG - the 9 premium Talent deck expansion for Prime Time!
Now every backer will receive this great addition for free!
I do not want to make this update too long so I'll just cut to the chase - I've added a Social Media Stretch Goal!
We are trying to get all of you on board so we can get more social push so we can fund more with the last hours we have left!
If we will reach 500 page likes on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/goldenegggames
And 500 followers on Twitter: @goldenegggames
I will add two new Show cards to the Premium talent deck!
Please help us make those marks as we need no more than 200 backers to unlock them.
Thanks so much for everything!!!
Elad
Update #10: New SG reached and the last few hours
over 10 years ago
– Wed, Sep 02, 2015 at 11:19:58 AM
Dear Backers,
I wish to keep this short and thank each and every one of you for funding Prime Time with more than $25,000. With more than 500 backers on board, this has been a most humbling experience and I thank you all dearly.
We managed to unlock 3 more Premium Talent cards to our ever growing expansion of Stretch Goals.
The Stretch Goals expansions come free of charge with every copy of PT bought during the KS.
We have made a huge surge and I hope we unlock the next SG at $27,500 - The 3 final Premium Talent cards.
Spiel update:
As we have already sold out the entire Essen-pick pledge level, we might get more copies to cover some more backers who wish to pick their copy earlier. All you need to do is to pledge on the main pledge level and send me a PM. I will try to reserve more but the worse case scenario would be a later shipment to your home (free of charge).
Let’s get everyone involved and RT, Share, Like, +1 on our Social Media pages.

We can do this and get the final Stretch Goals unlocked before the funding ends!!
Yours truly,
Elad
