Kickstarter, Roswell 51
Greetings Roswellians!
On our about this date in 1947, the aliens crash-landed in Roswell, NM – the rest is history. Our Roswell 51 kickstarter is steadily moving forward and I just want to say thank you to everyone who has become a backer and those who have helped to spread the word about our indy game efforts. Roswell 51 has eleven days to go, and I’m sure we are going to obliterate our next stretch goal really soon. Congrats!
“Are your neighbors acting strange? Maybe their minds were taken over by outer space aliens!?!”

Kickstarter, Roswell 51
Greetings Roswellians!
The anniversary of the Roswell UFO Incident is upon us…
“In early July, 1947, a mysterious object crashed on a ranch 30 miles north of Roswell. The Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) issued a statement claiming to have recovered a crashed “flying disk.” An article ran on the front page of the Roswell Daily Record and the next day, RAAF changed its statement to say that the object was a weather balloon, not a flying disk as they previously reported.”
And so the stage is set…
Roswell 51 picks up four years after this reported incident and things are getting weird. The government is sticking to its weather balloon story, but won’t reveal what’s going on in the mysterious Hanger 51 on base. Orbs of light whiz across the night sky. Weird vegetation is sprouting up in the desert. Townsfolk are starting to disappear, and your neighbors are starting to act very, very, strange.
Are you ready for what’s coming next?

Roswell 51
Put on your tin-foil hats and get ready for some fun!
July 8th, 2015 marks the 68th anniversary of the mysterious “Incident at Roswell”. As the next game in our Shuffling Horror line is Roswell 51, we’ll be running a special playtest of the game on that day.
In addition, all week long we will be blogging on what we have in the works, and also feature some very cool feedback we’ve recently received from our fans. We’ll also reveal a new concept for the Shuffling Horror game called the “Survivor Draw Pile”.
There’s even a sneak peek of the Shuffling Horror board coming!
Stay tuned to this frequency and keep your eyes to the skies!!!

Roswell 51
Two Confirmed Survivor Victories
After a never-ending string of alien victories in Roswell 51 (the next game in our Shuffling Horror line), we can now confirm two Survivor victories. The first report came in from Lake Geneva, WI, at a late-night pick-up game at the Gary Con game convention. This game was run by Director W versus 6 players. The second report came in just last night from the Dayton, OH area, where Director K ran a game versus 4 players. Both of these reports have been authenticated and verified by the home office. Both games went the full four reels.
***The Lake Geneva Report*** The action of the movie culminated with the survivors hunkered down on the ranch, led by the tough-as-nails Rancher who warned the aliens about what he does to trespassers on his land. At movie’s end four of the six players were still standing after the Mercurians’ final assault. Despite the aliens’ best efforts, the Rancher did not fall! An excellent performance by The Drifter who never liked the townies and was more than happy to destroy any suspected pod person.
***The Dayton Report*** The movie featured numerous scenes of alien craft blasting the surrounding countryside with their Obliteration Ray, as well as the appearance of a new robotic prototype designed specifically to counter the alien menace. While the robot’s attacks certainly contributed to the human victory, it was the plucky attitude of the other survivors and a well-timed (and revised) Alien Autopsy card that enabled the humans to claim victory over the Mad Mercurian Overlord!
It should be noted that the location of the second game was in the vicinity of where the Roswell aliens are said to be currently stored. “Since 1947, the year of the famous Roswell crash, there have been rumors that the US government has stored debris and artifacts from crash flying saucers, and even bodies of the small, alien crew members of the downed space ships. Much of the evidence of these crash retrievals leads us to Dayton, Ohio, and Wright-Patterson’s Hangar-18.” (Anonymous Internet Source)
Maybe Things Are Looking Up For The Survivors…
