"As Good As It Gets" Donation Campaign

​

In 2019, "As Good As It Gets" was created to be the perfect ice-breaker, and general get-to-know-you party game for family and friends.

In 2021, the card game came to life with help from 576 backers on Kickstarter! After that, we continued selling the game at www.GameQuill.com.

In 2023, times changed. My distributor went out of business, leaving me as a one-man show with around 1,000 leftover copies of the game. I want this inventory of games to be loved and played, but I've been unable to find a new distributor. I'm also working a full time job—so storing, packaging, and shipping these games all on my own has become a burden.

I can't afford the time/money to ship all of these individually, so I've been looking for a way to send them somewhere in bulk that they'll receive some love. What I've ended up on is charity: BoardGamesForTheBetter & MeeplesForPeeples seem like promising places to send a bulk amount of games, and guarantee that they'll be played and enjoyed.

However, sending 1,000 games to these two charities is easier said than done. Neither of them are able to provide shipping assistance (it's expensive to ship bulk, heavy games), and it's financially difficult for me to completely drop this inventory I've invested in.

This is why I've turned to IndieGoGo. Every $10 donated to this IndieGoGo campaign will equal 1 game sent to a charity (split between BoardGamesForTheBetter & MeeplesForPeeples, although I'm open to adding more charities to this pool as well). If you're interested in donating, please visit the IndieGoGo campaign and read through it for a detailed breakdown about how donated money will be used.

 

If we reach the campaign's goal, I'll be able to donate my full inventory to the charities. If we surpass the goal, I'll make a direct monetary donation to the charities with all excess revenue that I receive.

​

Also: there are rewards, including exclusive beta cards, signed cards, leftover Kickstarter goodies, fresh copies of the game, etc. that I will ship for free to folks in the United States that donate certain amounts to this IndieGoGo campaign.

Regardless of whether you can or can't donate, please share this campaign with your friends/social media. Marketing isn't a strong skill for me (it's something I mostly relied on my distributor for, but they're out of business now), so this campaign won't get very far without your help to spread the word!

​

Once the campaign is over, this page (www.GameQuill.com/charity) will be updated to show a list of the campaign's supporters, proofs of donation, and any other information the charities are able to send me about where the donated games went. Stay tuned!
