TL;DR
- Backers voted to upgrade the game’s resource tokens
- The second vote is underway now!
We’re Beloved
Broken and Beautiful was given the “Project We Love” distinction from the folks at Kickstarter! We’re thrilled. If you needed further validation that you’ve made a good decision to join the campaign, there it is.
Stretch Goal 1 Voting Results
Results from the first survey were pretty overwhelming!
Backers chose to use the first 12,000 Gold from the campaign’s ledger to upgrade Broken and Beautiful’s resource markers. The Standard Edition will now have wooden cubes, and the Deluxe Edition will now have metal cubes.
Next Stretch Goal Options
For the campaign’s second stretch goal, three options are possible. As always, each one upgrades both editions:
Upgrade the Resource Markers
- Upgrade the Standard Edition from wooden cubes to wooden ingots
- Upgrade the Deluxe Edition from metal cubes to metal ingots
Upgrade the First Player Marker
- Upgrade the Standard Edition from a plain wooden disc to a screen printed disc
- Upgrade the Deluxe Edition from a plain wooden disc to a metal disc
Upgrade the Box
- Add spot UV to the box
- Add foil stamping to the box
You can check the Gold Ledger at any time to see how much Gold the campaign's backers have to spend at any given time. (Backers can "spend ahead," if they elect to, under the assumption that more Gold will be earned in the future.)
Balloting will close at about 1:30 PM Central time on Friday, April 22, with results reported in a backer update later that day.

TL,DR:
The Campaign is Funded!
Just a little bit past 24 hours after launching, Broken and Beautiful is funded — thank you, backers! We're extremely grateful.
Patrick Rauland on Broken and Beautiful's Backstory
Over the course of the campagin, we'll share video segments where Broken and Beautiful game designer Patrick Rauland talks about different facets of the game. Today he reveals more about the design's history.
Stretch Goal Voting
Voting on the direction of the first stretch goal is still live. If you're a recent backer, jump back to Backer Update 1 and cast your vote for the first pair of stretch goals you want the campaign to unlock. (Alert backer David Chart noticed that we put the wrong month into the first survey's cutoff time. Voting will actually end today at about 2:00p Central time. Whoops!)

Thank You for Joining!
Thanks for joining us on the Broken and Beautiful journey. We’ve just launched so there’s not much to report yet, but we’re using this first backer update to encourage backers to vote their preference for the first stretch goal.
🔥 Remember that first-day backers contribute more than three times as much progress toward stretch goals with their presence and their pledges than backers who join later. Share the campaign today to maximize our progress! 🔥
