Latest Updates from Our Project:
$30K Unlocked! Final Stretch Goal! 18 HR to Go!
about 1 year ago
– Fri, May 05, 2023 at 01:09:59 PM
Dear backers,
We did it! $30K is achieved! Boss Cat Meeples are unlocked! Your bidding tokens will be super cute!
Final Stretch Goal - $35K Piggy SisterRound Marker!
This Piggy Sister is our team's favorite customer. We want to make it a meeple in the Kickstarter version for YOU, OUR BACKERS, to express our deepest gratitude for your support!
Some of you might expect the alternative game map to be revealed as the final stretch goal. We really wanted to do that but after a careful examination, we found that it's not a safe plan to unlock it at lower than $40K... (Our initial plan was around $50K to unlock the first map. It's a pity that this campaign didn't pick up enough momentum at an early stage to aim for this goal...)
We might release the map(s) in the future as a Night Market Map Expansion (like Power Grid) if there is a demand in the market. We will let you know through social media and the BoardGameGeek forum.
18 Hours Left
It's been an amazing 29-day journey so far. And we will enjoy the final hours of this campaign, too. We can't thank you enough!
Thank you and talk to you in the next Update!

Dear backers,
This is a very short update to let you know that Heavy Cardboard is doing a Live Stream for Taiwan Night Market at 12 pm EDT on May 2, which is 5 min from now!
We should have posted this update earlier but today is a very busy playtest day. And we had a very special guest, Kevin Hamano, the designer of Kites, joining us during his trip to Taiwan! We playtested many prototypes and he also taught us how to play Kites and we had great fun!
Wait, I shouldn't make this update this long... Anyways, get ready for the live stream!
