Covert Cues: The Deduction Game

Created by Ahmet A

An ingenious social deduction game about slick double meanings and spy talk.

The Ebay Store for Covert Cues is Out!
almost 2 years ago – Sun, Jul 28, 2024 at 07:31:09 PM

It's been a while since my last post - mainly because the last year was spent discussing with retailers and distributors regarding the sale of my stock of Covert Cues.

There is bad news and good news.

Alright - bad news first.

The bad news is that, sadly, retailers and distributors required multiple thousands of copies minimum in order to make a contract. And since Covert Cues was a small-scale Kickstarter, the stock I produced was only in the few hundreds, not in the thousands - meaning that I sadly could not get a deal with any of them. 

After arranging some meetings to get professional advice from distributors, the best course of action with the stock I have was determined to be purely selling online.

And so - here is the good news.

The game is now officially out on Ebay! 

After spending the last few weeks getting a professional photo shoot for the game and setting up the page - Covert Cues: The Deduction Game (including both the Inquisition and Conundrum expansions!) is now on Ebay, with global shipping and discounts for purchasing multiple copies!

As always, thank you for the support, and I should say - I do have a lot of future game ideas to make once I am done selling this game - so keep an eye out for future Kickstarter campaigns...

Wrapping Things Up
over 3 years ago – Mon, Dec 05, 2022 at 12:20:53 PM

Around 2 or 3 weeks ago, the last few ordered copies were sent out - with only 2 backer orders yet to be fulfilled (one of them due to their survey still not being completed and the other due to Auspost having a temporary issue with sending to their specific country).

Many of you have most likely received your copies by now, and so I would love to collect feedback for the game as a whole on the game's Board Game Geek page!

On other news, while my work with this Kickstarter campaign is reaching the final stretch, rest assured that this will not be my last Kickstarter tabletop game :).

Once I manage to contact retailers and hopefully start distributing copies of Covert Cues to stores in the future, I will be working on another card game - designed to build off of everything I learnt during my experience working on Covert Cues, which I have already begun prototyping. 

In the meantime, I will be working on making sure every backer is satisfied, so feel free to message me through Kickstarter regarding rule questions or general enquiries - I'm more than happy to help!

Finally, if you would like to check out my other stuff, I like to make highly edited videos as well - so feel free to have a look if you are curious :).

Thank you all for the support as always, none of this would have been possible without all of you.

Shipping Progress!

Shipping is Starting!
almost 4 years ago – Sun, Sep 04, 2022 at 06:23:41 AM

Packages are now being sealed and sent out for shipping!

My apologies for the late update,  there was a small issue with the seals that took a bit of time to solve, but everything is now good to go :).

As the days pass, each of you should gradually be receiving your shipping tracking links, so keep an eye out for your Kickstarter messages!

Also, if anyone has any last minute address changes, please let me know as soon as possible.

Other than that, everything should be good, I can't wait for you all to receive your copies!

Best Regards,

Ahmet

One Day to Lock Surveys!
almost 4 years ago – Mon, Aug 01, 2022 at 11:35:52 AM

There is now less than a day left for the Backerkit surveys to be locked!

And so, if there is anything that you feel should be updated about your survey (changed addresses or details, etc), make sure to do it within the upcoming 24 hours.

If there is any specific situation that I should know about when shipping your order, feel free to message me here on Kickstarter :).

Expect to see updates on shipping very soon!

With that being said, thank you all for your support - I can't wait to have the game delivered to your addresses!
