Hey Everyone!
We are beyond grateful to each and every one of you for backing Terrible Influence and helping us hit (and surpass!) our funding goal. We couldn’t be more excited to finally bring this game to life!
Over the course of the campaign (and through continued playtesting), we’ve received so many incredibly helpful suggestions. We’re using your feedback to fine-tune the final version of the game—everything from card clarity to gameplay balance.
Your insights have been so valuable, and we’re still open to hearing more! If there’s anything you think we should consider as we finalize things, don’t hesitate to reach out.
We'd love to hear any feedback on our Rulebook! You can check it out here on our Board Game Geek page.
Here’s where we’re at in production:
Once we’ve approved the final prototype from our manufacturer, we’ll move forward with the first full printing of the game. As soon as we receive those first copies, we’ll begin shipping them out directly to you, our backers. While we don’t have an exact date yet, we’re currently aiming to begin fulfillment in Q4 of this year.
Once again—thank you for your amazing support, your feedback, and your love for chaos. We seriously can’t wait for you to get your hands on Terrible Influence. Stay tuned for more updates, and get ready to backstab your besties 💅
Sincerely,
The Terrible Influence Team
Thank You!

AMAZING NEWS!
We have fully funded and finished our campaign and could not have done it without the support of our incredible backers! Thank you so much!
Your pledges should be processed over the next week as our team closes our campaign phase. Once that happens, we will begin the final proofing process with our manufacturer and open our Backerkit for order finalization.
We are still taking late pledges! So tell your friends that there's still time to grab the game at a discounted rate! Late pledges will be rolled into Backerkit once it launches in early June and will run until we place our final production order in July.
Exclusive Bonus Pack Update! Here is the final artwork for the 10 bonus cards you will be receiving for getting the game from our Kickstarter.
We are on track to deliver in our estimated timeframe of Q1 2026 if not sooner and are looking forward to delivering the game to all of you!
As always, please send any questions to [email protected], and we will be sure to follow up.
Stay Terrible!

Hey everyone!
We’ve been blown away by all the love you’ve been showing for the artwork in Terrible Influence—thank you! The chaotic, colorful, and hilarious world of our game wouldn’t be possible without the incredible talent of our illustrator, Jake Kazakos.
We wanted to shine a spotlight on the creative mind behind the madness. 🎥 Check out this video to get to know Jake and hear about how he brought these terrible, terrible cards to life!
And the best part? Jake has been hard at work on brand new illustrations for our Kickstarter Bonus Pack, which we’ll be revealing throughout the next week.
Keep an eye out—these cards are wild, exclusive, and only available to backers!
Thanks again for all your support. More chaos is coming your way soon!
