Hops & Barley by Jocu

[Jocu]

Hovering just shy of 12k for a couple of days... I hate the middle part of a campaign!

If anyone's planning on pledging, please do soon so we can get a bit of momentum going from the keyrings unlocking. Then all systems go to get the Brewer's Reserve unlocked

Thank you guys for your support so far!

[Decknowledgy]

Brewer's Reserve is now ready for add-on for existing backers of more than two decks! Congrats!

[shkorc]

Looking very strong. Looks like you have a good KS recipe this time Anthony, congrats!

The backers have been great - all really holding out for the copper deck and now it's live we've seen a huge uptake.

Still a little low on the overall backer numbers, but we're happy.

UCers - there will be a single deck tier added next week. I'll do this once all existing backers have sorted out their add-ons and the initial wave dies down and you can sneak in and get your decks

Thank you!

[MSimonart]

Just backed for the full set of jocu decks. More than reasonable price. It's a good project jocu and a solid deck, congrats. Especially like the copper one, like most here.

Thank you Simon!

Today's been a big day and people are really excited about the copper deck. I know a few were frustrated they couldn't get their hands on it sooner but you would've been paying €50 a deck if we'd started with that

Can those who are just interested in the copper deck PM me with your location? I'll try and decide a time that suits all. I'll limit it to a max of 10 people in the EU/US. Thank you!

Yay we got the goals... um Jocu, I don't know if it's worth it to change my 4X EB to get the Brewers copper is there an add on option?

See Update 6 for the news. I also got confused a little with all the updates coming out in such a short time. Add-on $22 for the copper deck and PM Jocu about this. No time limit as they will make sure all EBs get covered first.

Yeah sorry about that I prepped the update Sunday morning to keep some momentum going expecting to hit the goal midweek at the pace we were doing. Then suddenly it went crazy and we hit two stretch goals in two days so we had to keep updating

Update 6 is the one you want for existing backers. New backers must specifically choose a Brewer’s reserve tier.

Hey guys!

So campaign so far has gone really well and still climbing. We're hoping to bring it on home with some nice add-ons and doing some heavy promotion in the last week to end on a high note.

For those interested in the single-tier Brewer's Reserve I will launch this on Friday at 9am LA/West Coast 12pm New York/East Coast and 6pm EU. They will be €35 shipped/insured to EU and US. I will be limiting it to just five slots for those on UC who've expressed an interest.

I'm not advertising this on the campaign itself so hopefully those who've expressed an interest will be able to get their decks

Thanks again everyone for your support as always.

[Jocu]

Single decker is live

[Magic Tapp]

Anthony - congratulations on running an excellent campaign. 250 per cent. of the target - well done!

Now on to the fulfilment.

[Harvonsgard]

Congrats from me as well. Great to see another great project funded.

[Jocu]

Thanks guys!

We're really happy given the circumstances in the world right now.

Some good news coming from this is that we're looking to assemble tucks and decks ourselves (cellophaning etc) for future projects and Hops & Barley will be the first for this. It's relying on outside agents to do this that is currently causing the Green Man delay and for something we can do ourselves it's the next logical step.

So hopefully, unless some major shutdown comes up in the next few weeks, we should actually have this deck ready way ahead of schedule. July seems realistic for now

[Jocu]

Possibly the most fun add-ons I’ve had the pleasure of producing...

[shkorc]

Today I received my mixed brick in Slovenia (EU) and I couldn't be more happy

LOVE the Jocu standard courts, seeing them in person. Love the details of the packaging, it's not just bubble-wrap and "bam" in the cardboard box - quite some time was invested in packaging everything perfectly.

Love the large diamond pips on number cards, no idea why but they just look cool to me

Love the texture of the tucks, the paper really adds that little extra to the already gorgeous foiled-out tucks.

As with the previous deck, Jocu managed to bring it one step higher. Looking forward to their next project!

Here are some crappy phone pictures, sorry.

I love Jocu's packaging. There's always some extra love in there! Pity I was low on budget during the campaign.

Edit: I just ordered a set on Jocu's website to ease my pain.

[Jocu]

Thanks for sharing! EU backers should receive their decks in the coming days.

I'm glad you like the packaging, it's a shame we can only do this for EU backers. I always think campaigns can be a bit of an anti-climax when you finally receive them... a bit impersonal. Hopefully we can expand the packaging to US/Rest of world in future

Thanks for your order masagin! I'll get these sent out today

Jocu's Inner Circle welcome package had a surprise...

Number 2

Damn, that thing is BEAUTIFUL! I found the inner circle to be too pricy for my liking and I'm still not regretting that decision but wow, that's an awesome deck.

[Harvonsgard]

Awesome edition .

[Jocu]

Thanks for sharing! Pics look great and I’m really happy with how this one turned out.

That’s cool mate - we’ve released some new tiers now where €15 is the entry point so I’d love for some more people to check it out if they were on the fence for the welcome packs.

As the welcome packs includes this deck and we only had 80 available just a few limited mid-priced tiers were opened. There were some more decks in the pack too

[KingfisherZero]

Number 14 here! The welcome package is stunning.

[james001a]

Do you think if I sign up now I will get them?

[Bradius]

Do you think if I sign up now I will get them?

Ah, that would be no. These were the inaugural thank you gifts for those that signed up in 2020 for their inner circle. All the slots were filled, so no extras. Sorry about that. However, you can sign up now for their 2021 special stuff, which I am sure will be great.

Here is the link to the various membership levels and rewards for each level.

That's technically true, however as we didn't sell out every recruits slot we have a handful left over. They won't go to anyone automatically because they were only part of the initial welcome pack, but they will be made available to members only. The same will go for any future exclusive deck - available at a higher price in the members exclusive section of the store until stocks last.

Existing members will get first shout and then I'll add them to the store once everyone's received theirs and happy

[vasta41]

I think the remaining decks should be split up among those of us who drink the most beer. And as the self-proclaimed designated beer drinker of UC I'd like to request access to buy one of the leftovers.
