KickStarter Opportunity - Masheroo

I have the great privilege of being able to introduce a great new family game to you - Masheroo, by RoosterFin Games! Masheroo is on Kickstarter right now, and RoosterFin is attempting to get some funding for this great new family game. Simply go to the Masheroo page on KickStarter to get involved.

Masheroo! The Game of Mash or Be Mashed is built around simple pattern designs, consisting of three shapes and two faces. Within the game play lies an adventure requiring logic, diplomacy, and luck. To be successful, players must sometimes create allies with opponents.

GAME PLAY
In Masheroo!, players each have a different pattern card they must build to win. Players take turns rolling a pair of dice to match playing pieces to their pattern card. On each turn, players must use one of the sides rolled to build or help an opponent build. Occasionally, the Masher Bolt is rolled. The Bolt allows a player the option to take away "a.k.a. mash" one row of an opponent's built pattern.

The high level of social play will satisfy most players' urge for unique game play interaction. Masheroo! can accommodate up to six players. Play is quick and constant.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
24 colorful extra large pattern cards --- 27 shape tiles (9 of each) --- 18 face chips (9 of each character) --- 2 dice --- 1 easy read instruction sheet (you will be playing in minutes)


WHY KICKSTARTER?
I am small game company with a knack for making games. But I have no reach and I need your help; we at RoosterFin need your help. The cost of printing and distributing games is extremely expensive (testing, shipping, warehousing, etc.). Money pledged by you will be directly used for the printing and distribution of Masheroo! Any additional money received beyond the funding goal will be used to print more games. On the right, you will see that I have listed several ways to support my project. With any of those options, you will help my dreams become a reality - dreams to keep this game company producing games for you to enjoy.

NOTES FROM THE INVENTOR
RoosterFin attended ASTRA 2011, ChiTaG 2011, and Toy Fair 2012 and featured Masheroo! It tested extremely well with retailers. I am very excited about this game. As I do with all my games, I make sure the game engine is flawless. This game engine is pristine. Spot on. It is perfect. The only question that remains is - Do shapes make you happy? Stay tuned for project updates, including an update about the making of the Masheroo! game engine.

EXTRA BONUS
By the way, for a little incentive, if this project receives more than $10,000 in funding, all backers of Rewards #2, #3, and #4 will receive a copy of my first published game PongCano - The Game of Sacrifice.
