Prime Time - The Broadcasting Tycoons

Update #9: Last 48 hours and a new SG!
over 10 years ago – Tue, Sep 01, 2015 at 05:17:02 PM

Dear Backers,

Our project has entered into the final 48 hours and we just hit another benchmark - $22,500 which unlocked a new Stretch Goal!

The new Premium Talent deck:

The add-on deck will consist of Premium Talents from all genres and types (Actors, Producers, Writers etc). The last couple of days I received and read your suggestions. I am humbled to get your requests over to Naomi to have her bring them to life. Thanks again for the great support!

Add-ons:

We are still trying to activate the Pledge Manager on our KS project. It will simplify how to pledge the add-on games such as our highly acclaimed “City Council - The Deluxe Edition.”

Meanwhile, you can adjust your pledge to get those add-ons (offer by the table below) by adjusting your pledge with noted the amount (i.e Prime Time + City Council = $80).

More videos to share:

I want to follow this with more of Rahdo’s videos. He can cover each of our add-on games we offer.

City Council (+$35):

#8 at Rahdo Top 10 Engine Games:

#1 on Rahdo Top Ten Gameplay Interaction Mechanisms:

Athlas - Duel for Divinity (+$40)

#3 on Rahdo top 10 list of Heavy Games

Please share these videos and post via your friends through social media channels. We have less than 48 hours to push and fund the last two Stretch Goals!

Thanks so much for your support,

Elad

Update #8: The new Premium Talent pack and more on production
over 10 years ago – Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 11:48:51 AM

Dear Backers,

I want to say congrats to everyone on passing the $20,000 mark. We are 400+ strong and getting stronger.

Upgraded Drawstring bag:

We just upgraded the “old” drawstring bag to a new, more luxurious bag. This reward will be inside every copy of “Prime Time.” 

New Premium Talent Deck: 

As I wrote in the last update, I wanted to create a formidable expansion for each backer that will be added to each copy of “Prime Time” for free. The next two stretch goals will make this expansion greater with more depth for an exceptional gameplay experience. It also gives you better value as a backer of this project. The micro deck will be given to each backer and might be sold separately later on at conventions and other private venues (it won’t be available for retail at any point). The art for this new expansion is still raw. 

I wanted to know from you guys (comment on the main comment section) - Which star* do you wish to see in your game? 

 (*We will make a nice mock-up image that will be totally fine - legally) 

Production update: 

Me and my fellow team members have been working vigorously the past few days (this is why my update was a bit late) to proof and ready all of the files for the very first print run. I want to thank each and every one of them for completing this crazy schedule. 

4 days to go… I know we have already gone above and beyond our initial goals but I think we are still at a point to end this project on an even higher note. I updated the SG table. 

I think we can unlock each of these great goals and make your copy of “Prime Time” special and unique. Please help us by sharing our project through social media or your next game night with friends. 

Each backer is very crucial and together we make it happen! With a few more days to go :) 

Yours, 

Elad

Update #6: 3 New Boardroom cards!
over 10 years ago – Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 01:25:53 PM

Dear Backers, 

We just passed our 9th day and we have gathered more than $15,000 and +320 backers - funding is moving up the chains rapidly. 

We just unlocked another cool stretch goal: 3 new boardroom cards! 

These rewards will make each game different and add more of a variety to the goals you will need to score. 

Here is a text recap of those 3 new cards: 

Dr. Saunders – Head of Finance 

Min Bonds - Gain VP based on the total bond value you have: 

Least – 5 VP, 2nd – 3 VP, 3rd – 1 VP. (Optional with KS rewards). 

Example: Charlotte and Dave have issued no bonds, Alex and has issued $5 of bonds, and Bridget has issued $10 of bonds. Charlotte and Dave both score 4 VP , and Alex scores 1 VP. 

Ms. Hunter – Head of TV & Radio Min 

Re-runs – Gain VP based on number of Re-runs you have left in your hand: 

Least Re-runs – 5 VP, 2nd – 3 VP, 3rd – 1 VP.

Example: Alex, Charlotte and Dave have no Re-runs in hand. Bridget has 2. Alex, Charlotte and Dave score 3 VP each. Bridget scores nothing. 

Mr. Bean – Head of marketing 

Gain X VP if you have at least one Show of the matching Genre: 

3VP - Sci-fi 2VP - Reality 1VP - Action 

I have put together a list of our other popular games. They make very nice add-ons that you might consider in addition to your copy of Prime Time:

 In the next segment - I wish to spotlight each of our GEG team. Today it will be Paul Grogan, Prime Time rules Editor-in-Chief. 

Paul Grogan been gaming over 30 years ago and has been ‘seriously’ into modern Board Games for over 15 years. Earlier this year, he made the jump from it being a hobby to a full-time job and started his own company Gaming Rules! You may have seen some of the rules videos he has done for various games over the last couple of years. Paul also works a lot in the background developing games, editing rulebooks and doing demos at UK events. 

On Prime Time itself: “I was happy to be asked to be involved in Prime Time, as Elad has taken an interesting theme and put some interesting mechanics in the game.”

You can find more about the work Paul does over at his website: www.gaming-rules.com And all his videos are on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/gamingrulesvideos

He can be contacted either via Twitter: @GamingRulesVids, 

Facebook: GamingRulesVideos, or Email: [email protected] 

I wish to thank Paul and the rest of the GEG team members that helped us make Prime Time a reality. 

Yours, 

Elad

Update #5: New Network cards in the making!

Dear Backers,

We just eclipsed $14,000 and we are 300+ strong! This is a fantastic achievement for any KS project. We are so appreciative for your kind support!

New Network cards:

We replace the old player aids with new and more thematic components - the Network cards. Each color has its own cool logo and name of their own Network.

I would like your first impressions and wish to hear feedback for those names. Any comment or suggestion is more than welcomed (please post it on the main comment section - so we all can keep track):

• Purple player - “G.E - TV & Aquariums Division”
• Orange Player - “A-M-Z”
• Light-Blue Player - “Telepronto”
• Grey Player - “Wolf TV”

We will start sketching the logos based on the names that are selected.

I promise to be considerate and open minded about any comments and feedback you give us, as I value your opinion dearly.

Thanks again for the support,

Yours,

Elad
