Finishing Soon

Tell your friends! Even $1 will let them lock-in the Kickstarter pricing. I am really thankful for all of the support this campaign has gotten. I guess people are still interested in gaming on the wall!

Stretch Goal #4

If the campaign reaches $9000, every backer at $40 or above will get a free sample pack (see the $6 pledge level) to pass along to a friend or to add a few more Counter Magnets to their pledge. My choice of color (probably black or white).

Thank you all again!

Map Magnets and Stretch Goal #3

Map magnets are go! You can now add them as an accessory.

Stretch Goal #3

If the campaign reaches $7500, every pledge of $40 or above will receive one of the following free: a hex counter clipping jig, a map magnet (a mapgnet?), or a stack support. My choice of color.

Monster DIY Schedule Concern

I do not believe the DIY Monster pledges will make the October ship date I specified. Honestly, I set those dates with the intention of running the campaign entirely in August and failed to update them when the start date was pushed back. I have also discovered that each color of filament will have to be tweaked to provide the best fit for the magnets (too loose and they come out, too tight and the plastic cracks and they come out). This also means that I may have to re-print some colors once I receive the magnets (depending on final measurements).

That said, I believe that early to mid November is still possible for the DIY Monster pledges, and the rest of the pledges should be much closer to schedule.

New Accessory (for Later?)

After all Kickstarter rewards are fulfilled, I will be offering all the Counter Magnets and Accessories seen here on my website countermagnets.com. So here is a sneak peek at something I'll be refining.

Counter Magnets for Mounted Boards

Shown on a 2.5mm (0.095") thick No Retreat: North Africa mounter map. The larger magnets make them unsuitable for smaller hexes and they can only be stacked a few high (~4 for 1/2" and ~3 for 3/4" as shown in the picture). The map must be flush with the magnetic surface. The Arab-Israeli Wars map I tried was a little bowed in the center and would not work without me holding it flat around the Counter Magnets.

If you would want these instead of the smaller ones, leave a comment below and I may make that an option (they will stack even better on paper maps, but the larger magnets come with an increased cost). I will also be working on an accessory set to allow the regular Counter Magnets to be used with mounted maps, but it's a little more involved...

One Week Left!

Tell your friends! Even $1 helps the campaign and will allow them to lock-in the Kickstarter prices.

New Counter Magnet Sizes Added

Due to demand (I demand to allow every game ever to be magnetized) I have added additional sizes to the list.
