3 days ago – Wed, Apr 01, 2026 at 11:43:31 PM

Thank you so much to everyone that joined the campaign in our final days!

While we didn't break past the 500k stretch goal, I am excited about still offering the solo & co-op mode as a separate $15 expansion. (It will also be included for free in the Collector's and Super Turbo Editions).

But first, I am very excited to announce that the winner of the second stretch goal character vote was THE HAWAIIAN PILOT!

The final count was so close, with the Pilot (237) beating the Gambler (227) by ONLY TEN VOTES! While I know many are sad that we can't have ALL the characters, I definitely intend to create at least a second season of Re;MATCH, so I hope to bring them all back one day in the future~

So What's Next???

There is alot to do to get Re;MATCH made into a real product and shipped out across the world. As a few people have asked, Re;MATCH feels nearly completed, and as far as the base game is concerned, it really is!

Standard Edition Tasks:

  • Formatting and designing a great rulebook
  • Creating a useful hard plastic insert
  • Designing the actual product box top and bottom

But there's quite a few new tasks that were unlocked for the Collector's and Super Turbo editions because of our stretch goals!

Collectors / Super Turbo Edition Tasks:

  • Design, illustrate, and playtest The Cosplayer
  • Design, illustrate, and playtest The Pilot
  • Design, illustrate, and playtest The Solo & Co-op expansion
  • Design and layout the Artbook

Timeline

First, the pledge manager survey should be emailed out to you all sometime next week. You can change your pledge tier, change your add ons, and fill out your shipping address in the pledge manager survey.

Second, in order to keep things moving as smoothly as possible, we will be working towards getting the standard edition finished and ready for production first while also playtesting the 2 Stretch Goal characters and the Solo & Co-op modes.

My goal is to be able to hit print on the standard edition as early as July in order to follow the original timeline of delivering Re;MATCH by December.

The stretch goal characters and the solo & co-op mode will need additional time to develop, so my goal is to have the Collector's and Super Turbo Editions hit print by November and have them ready to leave the factory by April.

Fan Art Contest Announcement

FAN ART CONTEST RESULTS!

With the conclusion of the KS campaign, I am also very excited to present the winner of our fan art contest!!!

We had 4 artists enter 6 eligible entrees. Myself and the art team absolutely LOVED how charming these all were. Please take a look!

Chef kicking Dancer Fan Art Contest Submission by PrintsNPuzzles
Nerf Psychic fan art contest submission by tomy__chavez
Raccoon Chef fan art contest submission by tomy__chavez

And the Winner is... ALL OF THEM!!!

Honestly, each of these artists showed so much whimsey and created art for the love of the game. In an age of the make slop button being so accessible, we were genuingly so moved to see people picking up the pen and having fun.

The Kickstarter was a major success, and it's my contest, so I can break my own rules. To celebrate these budding talents, all 4 of the contestants will receive a KS Standard edition pledge for free and with shipping included!

DON'T STOP MAKING ART!!!

FINAL HOUR OF RE;MATCH! A Solo & Co-op Mode update!!!
5 days ago – Tue, Mar 31, 2026 at 02:57:21 PM

WE ARE IN THE FINAL HOUR!!!

Trickster Fan Art by takopiie

With over $460,000 raised and only 1 hour of the campaign left, I have decided to make a compromise for the Solo & Co-op mode since we will likely not hit 500k.

The Solo & Co-op mode will be a separate product that I will print after the Standard Edition enters production, same as the stretch goal characters, and will be included FOR FREE in the Collector's and Super Turbo Editions! (It will also be available as an $15 add on for standard edition backers)

The incredible artist FUNNYMNKY will be in charge of illustrating each of the custom Boss Boards for all playable characters! (He did this incredible Psychic fan art below!)

Thank you all SO MUCH for your support on this campaign. We literally could not have made this happen without all of you, and I'm so excited to get this game to print!

Second Character Unlocked, Solo Mode Playthough, and Glass Marble Drop Test!
9 days ago – Fri, Mar 27, 2026 at 09:39:46 PM

I AM AT PAX EAST!!!

Thank you to everyone who has visited our booth. It's been such a blast showing off Re;MATCH and seeing everyone fall in love with the game in real time~

So many people have said they would buy Re;MATCH if it was in stock (but were not Kickstarter users), I am convinced that I can safely print more copies of Re;MATCH than is normally recommended and still sell through them at conventions.

So while we haven't hit the $400,000 target goal yet, I am committing to adding the second stretch goal character to every copy of Re;MATCH collector's & Super Turbo edition!!!

Who is currently winning?

  • The Hawaiian Mech Pilot - 154 votes
  • The Vietnamese Gambler - 149 votes
  • The Egyptian Gamer - 136 votes

THAT IS A CLOSE RACE!!! It really feels like anyone can win still, so if you haven't voted yet, you can do so TWICE, both here on Kickstarter (click here to vote) or on Board Game Geek (click here to vote).

I will tally the total final vote amounts at the exact end of the campaign, so if you want more votes for your favorite character, tell your friends to back and get them to vote as well!

Solo Mode Playthrough!

While this is still a very rough prototype of the solo & co-op mode, I wanted to share a playthrough of it using Firefighter against the DJ Boss!

In Solo & Co-op, you can pick any of the playable characters to face off against as a boss. Each turn, the boss will roll 1d6. They clear the row of marbles corresponding to the dice roll, and resolve an attack based on the color of marbles in that row. If they roll a 6, they automatically resolve their best attack, aka the 3 of any matching color attack!

Glass Marble Drop Test

I had several people ask me if the glass marbles are breakable, and I've been dropping them on the CONCRETE floor for people to see that they're very sturdy! Plus, each order comes with 3 extra marbles since you only need 11 per color to play, but you'll receive 12 per color just in case!

For the third week in a row, Re;MATCH is the most popular game on TTS! People have been actively playing and loving it. If you are still on the fence of about Re;MATCH, PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY, I promise you this is a game with so much more depth than first meets the eye, and is completely unlike anything else on the market!

SPILLED INK EPISODE!

I got to sponsor my FAVORITE art youtube channel for them to draw Re;MATCH characters and it was honestly SO SURREAL TO SEE!!!

I've been watching Daidus and Emilly for as long as I've been designing board games, and I am such a huge fan. They made the Psychic and DJ look so cool, I'm genuingly so happy. Please give it a watch!

FOUR MORE DAYS!!!

As we count down these final days, I am so grateful for all of the love and support you have shown for this passion project of mine. This game has come such a far away from it's initial inception in 2018, and I absolutely cannot wait for you to get your hands on it~

Please keep sharing the campaign however you can, lets finish with a bang!

Vote for 2nd Stretch Goal Character!!
12 days ago – Tue, Mar 24, 2026 at 10:38:09 AM

ITS THE FINAL WEEK!!!

And we're over 70% of the way to the second free character unlock! To vote, comment below and/or on the BGG thread with your TWO favorite characters (this way, the character in 3rd place doesn't result in her supporters not being counted).

For those familiar with Kickstarter, the last 3 days typically raises 20% of a campaign's total funding, so I am currently very hopeful that we will reach the 400k stretch goal, but we won't be able to do without your help! Please keep sharing the game with anyone who might be interested!!!

  • Vietnamese Gambler - Inspired by Kakegurui and Dice Throne, the Gambler brings crazy high risk and high reward energy with a set of custom dice! Every turn, you'll place a "bet" on the results of your die rolls. The more extreme the bet, the bigger the payout! How greedy are you willing to get?
  • Hawaiian Pilot - A crossover character from my good friend's game AEGIS! The Pilot is a popstar idol whose signature mech is a manta ray! Start with 5 small robots of different class types (Assault, Evade, Guard, Intel, and Support), in each of the 5 rows, then combine them to gain more powerful abilities until you form the A.E.G.I.S. class Super Robot!

  • Egyptian Gamer - The Hipster was part of the first original set of characters designed for SENTO back in 2019. But with this game taking SO LONG to release, she's transitioned from being the Hipster to The GAMER. In fact, she's SUCH A GAMER that she doesn't even use the button health dials, instead summoning 2 giant snakes and hiding herself among the snakes using clouds of smoke. Hope you've studied the Monty Hall problem!

To vote, comment below and/or on the BGG thread with your TWO favorites!

What happens to the losing character ideas?

I have SO many character ideas I want to bring to reality, but obviously time and money present real restrictions. I am confident that after Re;MATCH has been delivered to backers, I will be able to work on a sequel with all of these other character ideas!

Playthrough with CircltoonsHD!

I had a TON of fun playing Re;MATCH with Christian, aka CircleToonsHD, and the playthrough video is now live on my youtube channel!

He is SO funny and I had a blast recording this one. Please give it a watch~

The Super Turbo Edition will get all of our crossover promotional items, include a set of 3 alternate art fan standees illustrated by the team of Fool's Blade!!!

Brazilian Cosplayer Unlocked, Glass Marble Samples, and Playthroughs with Level 99 Games & Paula Deming!
17 days ago – Thu, Mar 19, 2026 at 10:16:57 AM

The Brazillian Cosplayers win the SG vote!

While the Ghanaian Strikers came in second, there was a ton of love shown to the Red, Yellow, Blue Super Sentai Cosplayer!

Please note that the above design is just a very very early first draft. We will be doing research, talking with some hard core Super Sentai fans, and making sure to create a character that properly pays it's respects.

Glass Marbles Samples Received!

I just got the samples delivered to me for the glass marbles and they are absolutely GORGEOUS. While I absolutely do not think these are needed for the game (the acrylic marbles look GREAT and work perfectly) I will admit, these are way prettier than I anticipated.

The manufacturer actually sent me several different types, and the one I am showing off (and will be going with) is a higher quality "crystal" material. I liked it alot, and think it totally justifies the manufacturing cost for them.

As a reminder, all of the photos and review videos use the acrylic marbles that come with the base game! They fit the retro arcade aesthetic of the game VERY well and already feel super premium~

More playthroughs of Re;MATCH!

I've been posting playthroughs of Re;MATCH to my channel very frequently, and the newest upload featured the incredibly funny Paula Deming, aka Things Get dicey!

And it's no secret that I've been a big fan of Level 99 games. Battlecon was quite literally the game that got me into board games all those years ago when I was still in college! The original recording between Brad and I got corrupted, so we had to record a Re;MATCH (eyyyyy). If you liked Battlecon, I can almost guarantee you'll love my game~

2 more weeks to go!!!

We have officially pass the halfway mark of the campaign, and we have also raised over $250k!!! I believe we are on track to hitting the 400k stretch goal, but I've got some exciting plans to help us finish even stronger in order to fund the art and manufacturing costs of unique boss boards for every character!

CircleToonsHD Playthrough March 25th!

Saving the biggest guest for last, CircleToonsHD, the artist, designer, and publisher of Fools Blade and a SUPER funny youtube animator, will be on my channel with our Re;MATCH playthrough! Although my channel is still small, this should get some new eyes on the game as well~

Pax East Booth March 26 - 29!

I'll be at Pax East's booth 12097 next weekend demoing Re;MATCH, and hopefully pushing lots of sales! When I was at Pax East last year, several guests said they would buy the game immediately if it was available, so hopefully this year goes just as well~

People LOVING Re;MATCH at Pax East 2025!!!

Spilled Ink Sponsored Video March 27th!

My favorite art youtube channel, Spilled Ink, will be uploading a sponsored video, drawing Re;MATCH characters and talking about the game! They have over half a million subscribers and average 100k to 200k views per video, so I am confident we'll get new eyes!

YOU!!!!!!!!

Thats right, YOU! It's not possible to run a campaign all by myself, and the amount of love and energy we've had on the discord server from people who are playing Re;MATCH on TTS is INCREDIBLE.

Word of mouth and recommendations from fellow gamers is more powerful than ANY sponsored content could ever be. So send the game to your friends, show the campaign page to your FLGS, and help us make Re;MATCH EVEN BIGGER!!!
