50! What who says that instead of waiting for 48?!

While our campaign is finishing up soon I am happy to announce that we will be offering late pledges on the Kickstarter page after the campaign ends – however the 15-20% price discount (depending on which edition you back) will be dropping to a 10% discount as a late pledge so, if you know that you want to get in on the chaotic cuteness of Pandamonium make sure you get in now 🐼

And finally, last but not least - The Flame Warlord!

The Flame Warlord is a blazing beacon of fury and honor in a kingdom on the brink. His fur, charred at the edges from countless battles, serves as a testament to the fire that burns within him. He is a bear of action, preferring the clash of steel and the roar of war over the scheming and deceit of the court. Yet, even he feels the weight of the Pandapire’s decline, fighting not just against external enemies but against the decay within.

Just two pandas left in our series of get to know the characters in Pandamonium a little better.... today The Polar Bearzerker!

They were once a trusted ally of the Pandapire, strategic trading partners and formidable mercenary forces. She fought alongside the Pandas, her icy blue eyes scanning the battlefield for the next target, securing wealth and honor for her berrabund. But those days of alliance are gone. Now, she stands as a symbol of betrayal.

The riches of the Pandapire, once shared through trade, are now ripe for the taking by force. With her whalebone speargun, she leads her kin not as a mercenary, but as a raider, determined to carve out a new destiny from the bones of the empire she once served.

Meet ChinAnn, one of the artists of Pandamonium! ChinAnn drew the awesome designs on the card backings as well as some of the tribute cards!

How did you first get into art?
I drew a lot when I was a child, and it became a skill I developed over the years.

What was your process for designing the artwork of the card backs?
I would sketch up various options of the artwork on my iPad based on the brief. Once we've decided on the sketch, I'll go into Adobe Illustrator and draw them from there.

Which piece of the art you did for Pandamonium did you like the most and why?
My favourite is probably the Tribute Bamboo card. I like the simplicity of it. I believe it’s also my first art for Pandamonium!

Where can people see more of your artwork?
on Instagram!

It's almost the weekend and here is some lore on our first usurper our fierce Moon Bearbarian!

The Moon Bearbarian moves with lethal grace across the northern steppes. She is not a Khan, but a moongudai captain. Her skill in archery and bearrilla warfare has earned her a reputation that rivals that of any leader. With a quiver of arrows slung across her back and a curved blade at her side, she strikes fear into the hearts of those who dare oppose her.

She fights with a fierce independence, driven by a personal vendetta against the Pandapire, which she views as the embodiment of weakness and corruption. Her raids are swift and brutal, leaving behind only whispers of her presence, like the ghostly winds of the steppes she hails from.

We have 9 days left on Kickstarter and would love your support as we shoot for the MOON!

Hope you are all having a great start to the week! Let's learn a little more about the Lotus Maiden!

She is the highborn daughter of a powerful clan. Her beauty and grace matched only by the sharpness of her mind. Outwardly serene and mystical, she has carefully cultivated an image of ethereal wisdom, drawing many to seek her counsel. Yet beneath this facade lies a heart burning with ambition.

Her clan, long dissatisfied with the Golden Emperor’s faltering reign, sees in her their chance to usurp the throne. Every word she speaks, every riddle she weaves, is calculated to sow doubt and discord, pushing the empire closer to the brink. She is both a symbol of the Pandapire’s ancient mysticism and a harbinger of the upheaval to come.

Meet Max! One of the graphic designers for Pandamonium along with a lot of behind the scenes work that it took to bring the game to life!

What part did you enjoy the most about helping bring Pandamonium to life?

Well, I was all in as soon as I played! Bringing a game to life that is actually really fun and completely replayable is what I'd assumed is every creator’s dream. The concept of making something that will be enjoyed for years to come was my favourite part.

Was there anything that surprised you in the process of making Pandamonium?

Of course there were surprises all along the way. The biggest surprise was that the small and straight forward tasks always took the longest and tended to be the most difficult to complete especially for a rookie graphic designer like me.

What was a challenging aspect of making the game?

I think Matthew did the heavy lifting here on getting it to a stage that was awesome before I had anything to do with it. The early play testing he would've done is always going to be the most challenging. But I do believe Matthew has a nack for making games and that isn't going to be the challenging part in the future, it is marketing and social media presence we struggle through most with. You can always be doing more.

What do you like the most about Pandamonium?
My favourite part about Pandamonium is the bridging of worlds and social circles, literally anyone can play, and anyone win, so it is always enjoyable. Just playing a board game with people or friends that haven't touched a game since they were 12 and watching the enthusiasm and enjoyment of a forgotten hobby come back is always nice to see.

Get to know some of the Pandamonium characters a little better. Next up, The Jade Oracle!

The Jade Oracle is an ancient mystic, her fur faded and thin, a testament to the many years she has spent communing with the spirits and seeking wisdom from the earth itself. Her age has only deepened her insight, making her the most sought-after advisor in the Pandapire, though her words are often shrouded in layers
of metaphor and mystery. ��

She speaks with a voice that creaks like ancient wood, each syllable laden with
meaning. Though her physical strength wanes, her mind remains sharp, cutting through the fog of uncertainty that engulfs the empire.

Continuing on with our characters, a little more about the Golden Emperor!

The Golden Emperor, though draped in the grandeur of his title, is but a shadow of the mighty rulers who came before him. His once pristine white fur, has taken on a golden hue from the endless years spent on the throne. The weight of his crown is no longer a symbol of strength but of the crushing burden he can barely bear. He is painfully aware that his reign is faltering.

As the Pandapire frays at the seams under his watch he clings to power with desperate claws. Yet, despite the whispers of dissent and the crumbling state of his empire, he refuses to relinquish the throne, driven by a fear that without him, the Pandapire will crumble into dust. To his subjects, he was the embodiment of the Pandapire’s glory. Though over the years, his legacy like gold, while grand, is soft and easily tarnished.
