THE BOYS: This Is Going To Hurt The Board Game

Created by 1First Games

THE BOYS: This Is Going To Hurt is a tabletop board game based on the hit-series THE BOYS from Dynamite Entertainment.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

First look at FULLY MANUFACTURED PRODUCT!
over 2 years ago – Sun, Nov 14, 2021 at 06:51:16 PM

Hello friends and fans!

This update has been a long time coming! We are officially reviewing final samples from the factory! 

Check it out:

Homelander!

This first shipment of samples included the Homelander bust and the 10-character miniature pack. Next week we will have the retail and deluxe games to show off to you, so we’ll be back with another update soon!

Holding these first samples in our hands is nothing short of a dream come true. This is the culmination of a huge amount of hardwork and a fair amount of stress. To come through everything that happened in the last year and see our game look this good feels amazing.

Once again, we’d like to thank all of you for your support, enthusiasm, and patience as we’ve worked through everything we needed to to make this game a reality.

With the game this close to reality, we wanted to let you know that the pledge manager will be closing soon. If you haven’t filled it out, please do so. We’re charging cards, and pre-sales are ending soon. The final deadline will be in December, but please fill everything out as soon as possible so we can have our fulfilment numbers correct for all of our partners.

As we said, we’ll be back next week with more photos, so we’ll keep this short. Thank you for your support, and if you’re going to C2E2, we’d love to see you there! (more details soon)


Thanks!

A Succesful Debut At Gen Con. Progress from China.
over 2 years ago – Sat, Sep 25, 2021 at 10:45:59 AM

Hello backers!


The team is back from Gen Con! While we are still waiting on final copies of the game to hit our hands, we were able to run demos non-stop for the entirety of the show (we're all exhausted) with our prototypes.


The response was excellent! If you were one of the people who stopped by we'd like to say "thank you" for such a warm greeting to our first convention as a team!

Here's some shots of the game in action:

Production:


Production continues on the main run. Our miniature tools are being completed, which means the paper printing can start soon and we've been told we're close to having a date for when the game will be ready to leave China and take the long trip to our fulfillment warehouses.


If you've been following global news on this industry and many others, you may be seeing some of the woes of what's going on. 


The price and timeline of every good and every service have gone up substantially since we started on this project. It's been a difficult thing to manage, but all our partners are working with us to make the best of the situation. 


While we can't control the global situation, we're focused on smaller things we can, like making small tweaks while we can to anything that isn't finalized on the game. The feedback we received from Gen Con was used to adjust the grammar of the player boards and a few cards for example. It's a small change, but since we had the time, it's one more thing we can improve so we did it.


As things stand now, we're facing early 2022 for delivery and we hope to narrow that date down to a more exact window as soon as we can responsibly predict what that window will be.


Thank you for your support and patience. We will continue to update you as new information is available.

Friday the 13th is here, and with it comes Terror!
over 2 years ago – Sat, Aug 14, 2021 at 03:06:01 AM

Hello backers!


A very happy Friday the 13th to you all!

Friday the 13th is full of Terror!

We hope you’re staying safe and staying out of the heat.


Seeing as Friday the 13th is a day with a lot of meaning that’s both scary and fun, it feels fitting to deliver an update that may sound similar in tone.


We’ve had two small delays at our factory in China. The first was one beyond our control in the form of a natural disaster that knocked out power and cost some precious time.


Everyone is okay, and nothing was lost, but Ningbo was briefly affected by a typhoon. Adding that to rolling power outages and COVID certainly makes for a scary time. Thankfully, this has all been resolved.


The second issue - is a change we’ve decided to make that benefits all of you.  

The samples of our miniatures came in and it turns out Homelander is in no way miniature at all and neither is the packaging.


We wanted a game with table presence and we feel we’ve accomplished that goal in spades!

While this is a stunning bust, it does change logistics some. When put in the deluxe box, the depth of the figure is just absolutely too unwieldy.


We’ve adjusted and Homelander will now come in his own box, which is excellent for collectors as it allows you to store him safely and to keep the figure MIB if you so choose. Each pack of miniatures will also come in their own separate box.


(old vs new packaging)


All adjustments to production have been made and we’re back on track. We're currently waiting for an exact date on our new timeline, but we’re still targeting early fall and we’ll have more to share as soon as things are locked in.


Thank you for your patience, we’ll have more news on this and Gen Con shortly.
