Stretch goal #7 unlocked!

You’ve unlocked stretch goal #7 — Dread Pirate Roberta!
This means each copy of the game now comes with both Dread Pirate Roberta and two copies of Pick Your Poison!
She is a vicious Knight — dealing damage both to their active Knight and also to a Knight of your choice in their stable. This means your opponent won’t be able to hide their damaged Knight (or their Yeti!)
Can we make it to the next stretch goal? Only 1k more and every copy of the game will come with a brand new 2-player scenario featuring Lance Bass’ Battle of the Bands!
In Battle of the Bands, each player attempts to knock out their opponent’s Lance Bass to win. Be careful though, each Lance Bass has more health than a normal Knight (10!). See the stretch goal section for more details in the Kickstarter.
We are really hopeful to be able to include a strong 2-player scenario for Joust for Fun! Let’s go go go — to 21k! :-D
Thank you everybody!

Stretch Goal #5 unlocked!

You unlocked another stretch goal!
Hello Backers! You just unlocked another stretch goal, Royal Decree #2 and Royal Decree #3.
Both Royal Decrees unlock new game mode upgrades that allow you to customize your gaming experience. Want to play a last Knight standing type game or race to two knockouts game? These Royal Decrees are your answer.
Also, we now get to uncover the next stretch goal – a personalize scenario for Self-Rescuing Princess!
In Rescue Mission, each player plays as Self-Rescuing Princess and races to rescue 12 fans from danger! You rescue them by successfully striking their captor (the opposing Knights). Each time you strike the opposing Knight, you’ll remove that much damage from a fan. Remove all their damage, and you rescue that fan. See these scenario cards for full details.
Finally, here are two other quick tips. First, if you block an attack, you’ll get to remove 1 point of damage from any fan. And some fans are only worth 1 point while others are worth 5. So plan your rescues accordingly!
When we unlock this stretch goal, each copy of Joust for Fun will include these extra copies of Self-Rescuing Princess and the special rules scenario cards. We only have about 2 days remaining in our Kickstarter Campaign, so please share with your friends!
We’ll check back in tomorrow with another preview, Lady Dun Waiting!

Self Rescuing Princess Preview
over 5 years ago
– Wed, Aug 01, 2018 at 01:55:35 PM
Hello again Backers!
Today we get to talk about Self-Rescuing Princess and her Court Card Empowered up.
This Princess can do it all. When she strikes she deals extra damage and heals herself in the process. (And, if you noticed on her card, she blows up castles in the process)! As you’ve probably guessed, a little bit of heal can go a long way in Joust for Fun. This means Self-Rescuing Princess is bound to be staying around longer and dishing out the big hits!
With Empowered Up (Self-Rescuing Princess uses the word, so it’s a real word!) you will also be able to deal 1 damage to the defending Knight and heal as well. This means when these cards are played together, Self-Rescuing Princess can do 2 extra damage! And heal 2! All in one attack!
Self-Rescuing Princess is one of our favorite designs. Not only is she super fun in game, but there is just something about being Empowered Up that feels great! May all your enemies fall before you (and kneel!)
Thanks for checking in on this preview. If you haven’t yet told your friends about this game, please share. We can’t make this dream come true without you! Until next time!

Royal Decree Rundown #2
over 5 years ago
– Mon, Jul 30, 2018 at 11:35:28 PM
Today we are updating you on our newest stretch goal — both Royal Decree “Knight of the Living Dead” and Royal Decree “Last Knight!”
.
In “Knight of the Living Dead,” you win by gaining two trophies (by knocking out 2 opposing Knights). Additionally you may spend 4 fans on your turn to heal 1 damage from each of your Knights or gain +1 strength this turn.
This Royal Decree is all about keeping your Knights alive. By pulling your damaged Knights back into your stable, you can get the most use out of spending 4 fans to heal. Alternatively you can boost one of your Knight’s strength! This makes Knights like El Rey Real and Yeti or Not incredibly powerful. Save up enough fans and you can heal twice in a single turn or increase a Knight’s strength by 2 for the turn!
.
In “Last Knight” you win the game by being the last remaining Knight. In this game, you’ll start with 3 Knights (but can’t gain anymore). And you can spend 4 fans to deal a single point of damage to two different opposing Knights. Again, by saving up multiple sets of 4 fans, you can deal damage multiple times in a single turn.
Currently we are only about $500 from this stretch goal. After, these Royal Decrees are unlocked, I’ll be back to tell you about our new scenario: Self-Rescuing Princess’ Rescue Mission!
Thank you fellow Knights! Until soon,

Unlocked goal and something Strangerous

We unlocked another stretch goal! — Maiden Fair’s Court Card Carousel is now included free! We can’t thank you enough for your support!
What we can do, though, is show you a super huge surprise we’ve been working on!!!
.
Emily the Strange is now a new bonus Knight and Court Card that comes free with each copy of the game! If you are unfamiliar with Emily, her red, white and black imagery has been hugely popular since the early 90s with skateboards, T-shirt’s, bags, and comic books!
And she’s here to rumble.
.
When attacking, Emily has an incredibly fierce 5 strength. (Of course, her multi-headed cat beast helps as well). When defending, Emily doesn’t like taking damage. When she takes 3 or more damage from a single attack, she’s gonna punch back.
.
Super Awesome!
Please continue to share Joust for Fun with your friends and your friend’s friends. We have so many more stretch goals we’d love to give you!
Black Key Games would like to thank Rob Reger and Buzz Parker for collaborating with us to make this happen. We are super excited (and honored!) that these Emily cards will be included free with every copy of Joust for Fun!
Thank you fellow Knights! :-D
