Hello Clear the Decks! fans and followers - lots going on so I wanted to send out an update.

First I hope you are all having a fun and safe summer.

Clear the Decks! is now available on Walmart's website and to improve my search engine standing I should to add some reviews. Without purchasing on the walmart site you cannot enter a review there, but you can go to my site store and enter reviews on each product page:

In other news, my development team and I have been hard at work on several projects:

Anwar is creating some amazing new art for Kraken n Creatures what should be a 72 card expansion that will probably hit Kickstarter early 2026.

Our newest team member Jay has finished the cards for the "Deck Deck" - this is an attack restriction expansion that can use the Brown (cannon ball) die form the Dice expansion.

We also now have the artwork for the Klimat (German for Climate) expansion - these changing weather patterns make the game even more challenging.

I have also received delivery of the next customized dice expansion - a 6 dice set (used with Pirate Hunters, Privateers, Base Game), plus two dice to go with Kraken and a promo die that can be used with the base game.

The new dice, Klimat and Deck expansions will all be available online this Fall and for in person sale at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia this November. That is right - PAX has moved up 2 weekends and is now right before Thanksgiving. Hope to see you there!

2026 is also full of plans for

"Ship Cards" - a set of player cards referncing famous warships form around the world

Haunted Hull - a 52 card expansion with some dad and not so dead Crew and Officer cards.

Quest cards - cards for players with individual goals for bonuses.

I hope the rest of your summer is a blast!

Chris

Good news Clear the Decks! fans. I have completed all set up for my Kickstarter page for the Privateers Vs Prizes expansion campaign. I expect to get approval to officially submit for review by monday or tuesday and launch on October 15th. In order to have the game in time for in person sales at PAX Unplugged I am shortening the campaign to 21 days.
KS now has much easier Add-On features so I have listed all of the previous expansions and accessories.

I will post the page preview link a soon as it is available.

Annoying Humming Noise in Randolph,

Since September there has a been a low frequency noise/vibration on Misty Mountain road and surrounding neighborhood - like an overhead plane or distant truck , but lower frequency and pulsing - comes and goes but most often worse at night starting around 730-9PM through morning

Hearing was checked and meets standards (though they do not test for exceptional or low frequency ability) Not tinnitus

Causing anxiety, stress, sleeplessness and headaches
Most people cannot hear it but recently we have learned that some others around Shongum Lake can now hear it and are suffering like us.

We are using a software program REW and microphone to track. 10 to 40 Hz frequency with a 5 to 15 db difference but have not been able to find the source. We checked with PSE&G, JCP&L, checked water lines. We had JCP&L cut the power to our house but it was still there.

We are now thinking it might be an RF signal from a cell tower that perhaps got upgraded or had its power increased (Shongum Lake area was notorious for low signal strength.

Response from the town health department has been very disappointing. (If it cannot be heard by all, then there is no statute to enforce) - not bothering to come to the house to listen or suggest any contacts to call or equipment. Getting responses has been slow and required follow up (in person).

So today I emailed the whole council as well as the town manager and we'll be going to the council meeting 5/9 6PM to reiterate the problem and ask for some real effort to investigate this issue.

Plenty of towns have had small environmental issues only noticed by a few that eventually became a crisis because they were ignored.

If you are also hearing / feeling this noise, please comment, let us know where in town you are, when it started and please join us at the council meeting Thursday 5/9 or Dept of Health 5/17 7pm

Thank you.

Looking for a freelance artist to do work on a card/boardgame - prefer in or close to NJ for possible in person collaboration - hope to get someone that can both do the sketch, color as well as graphic work to set up board, prep cards , box, rules etc for publication.

Do NOT want someone programming into AI for artwork.

can post a reply, PM or email

Hello Clear the Decks! fans and followers, been a hectic few weeks between Line of Battle and finishing touches on Who Knew? but both are either ordered or getting ordered for PAX.
Due to wanting to have LoB on hand for PAX I am just doing a small production run which also means Kickstarter is not really economical, so I will just make a page on my website, make a intro video and post here and on the site, then send out a email blast with the link.
People can pre-order the game and a mini expansion and get the promo cards with it.
Who Knew? should also be available at PAX, also in a limited test run in advance of a Kickstarter campaign in early 2024.
