It's been a few days since we updated you on WHO GOES THERE?, and we know you've missed Jesse's pretty face, so without further delay...
And remember, we have 23 of the 38 acts of good will needed to unlock the dog pawn Sugar Goat! You still have plenty of time to prove you're human and post it on our Facebook page!
Stay warm and make sure you have plenty of canned food for the food round!

IT'S IMPORTANT TO STRETCH BEFORE YOU RUN!

We did it! We blew through the latest Sugar Goat like a tortoise with rigor mortis! Now you get not 5...not 10...but 15 extra phase deck cards to make searching through the Thing infested stacks of helicopter bonuses that much more difficult to predict. What's next? Glad you asked!
We are also excited to have 10 animal lovers among our backers! At less than half of one percent, that's a much bigger percentage than some of the team expected. Me, on the other hand, have all the faith in the world that you'll help unlock this puppy of a Social Sugar Goat #2 before the campaign comes to a close! For those of you that don't have time to get to the shelter, most of them have Amazon wish lists, and we'll happily accept that all day and night long! So, if not for the animals, at least help me prove them wrong about you!
We had a great time on our KS Live event yesterday. We answered lots of questions and even played a few rounds to help explain some of the mechanics as they happened. If you'd like to see what you missed, check it out in the next couple of days on the campaign page, because we're doing another KS Live event Friday and it will be replaced. This time, though, you'll get to see which one of us is (or isn't) the THING! as we play the game.
Remember to always keep your doors locked, don't accept food from someone you don't trust, and bring all the humanity you can to our campaign page.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERS and KICKSTARTER LIVE EVENT

We hope you've had a great weekend and are ready for a big week! We're still shy of our additional phase deck cards SG, but we're hopeful it will topple soon. We've had 4 responses on the social Sugar Goat helping your local animal shelters so far, so hopefully we can unlock that one in the near future as well. Just need 34 more!
We are going to do a KICKSTARTER LIVE AMA on Tuesday for those that are interested, Should be fun!
In the meantime, we've been fielding lots of questions from many of you about some specifics in game play, so we have started putting a few videos on the campaign page to help answer them. We hope they help.
If you are as excited about this game as we are, please help us spread the word so we can unlock some Sugar Goats to make this game even better.
Have a great week, and we hope to see you in the comments section or during the KS Live!

THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THE THING WOULD DO!

It's been a great week at Certifiable Studios, and we can't thank you enough for being a part of this ride so early on with WHO GOES THERE? We are still working on that next Sugar Goat for the additional phase cards, but we will get there. While the numbers have slowed down a bit, our excitement hasn't, so we are ready to put you to work again! But...this one won't be so easy. Behold...SOCIAL SUGAR GOAT #2!
Are you willing to go the extra mile to prove you are human? I guess that depends on how completely awesome you think the DOG PAWN PHASE MARKER is.
If you are up for the challenge, just print one of the images below, or you can simply hold up the image on your phone or tablet and say "Cheese!" while you do something nice for your local animal shelter. It doesn't have to be much. Anything helps. A small donation of money or supplies...or even your time, You can post your picture in the comments of the SG#2 video on our Facebook page, or send it directly to us at [email protected].
If we are going to trust you with adopting our beautiful puppy, we need to know you'll take care of her. We just need 38 (or more).
So...what say you? Are you HUMAN or are you the THING?
Have a great weekend!
-Rick and the Certifiable team
AS IT TURNS OUT, SUGAR GOATS ARE VERY SOCIAL!

You didn't waste anytime, did you? We said you could unlock the upgraded character boards early with a little Facebook help, and you pounced! Well, 149 shares later, the character boards were officially unlocked. So...what now? We still have work to do, but it's still early in the game, so I'm positive we can get there! We are still working towards SG#5 and the additional phase cards, but check out what's coming after that!
More Sugar Goats!
I told you in the last update that the MINIs weren't going to be in the next batch of Sugar Goats, but we changed our mind. In the end, we want them just as much as you do, and we still have more SGs to come. What can you do to help? Glad you asked. Please help us get the word out in any way you can. Share with your friends and mention it on your social channels. We have a truly top notch game to produce, but with more backers, it will only get better and better.
