Hello Bettors!
Thank you all so much for backing the campaign! We're excited to bring the High Roller Edition to everyone, and getting to play Ready Set Bet with hundreds of gamers this last weekend at Dice Tower West was an absolute blast.
Wednesday & Thursday was the day that the 2/3 horse, 23 Skidoo, got to shine! Watch this race from Wednesday being run by Dave Honeycut, who broke out his best Blue Linen suit and hat to cosplay as the box cover character:
On Thursday we began setting up for a huge 72 Player Tournament with Tom Vasel calling the race. Here are the 9 tables before the storm:
And here are those tables filled with players before the first race. Tom, on the right in the Green shirt gave a rundown of the rules, and then began rolling dice and calling the race which was projected on the big screen:
Here is a Video of Tom calling one of the races:
I didn't catch this one on video, but there was a race where the 2/3 horse, 23 Skidoo, ran away with a HUGE blowout:
And finally we had the winners from each table, go to a final table, where gave an AEG game to all 8 finalists. 1st and 2nd place got first picks, and took Dead Reckoning, also from John D Clair. Here are four of the finalists with their prizes, John D Clair, and a photobomb by Tom:
For the rest of the days, we ran 16 person events, running 2 betting boards off 1 race track. We got to show off the prototype parts for High Roller as part of the event, and everyone who got to physically interact with it, loved the upgrades (prototype on the left, retail edition on the right):
Again, thank you to everyone backing the campaign, and getting to play the game with over a hundred people over 5 days reminded me of the magic John D Clair has captured with this one!
