CULTURED SWINES: The Hilariously Tense Schmoozing Game!

You have arrived! Welcome to the Pork Springs Social, the town’s night of nights. As budding socialites, this is your chance to rub shoulders with the town’s cultural bigwigs and earn your place among them. 

You and your plus one must stay in sync to appear cultured as you mingle with the guests. You'll build your credibility by weighing in on the topics du jour - from art to language to philosophy, each guest loves to talk about their area of expertise. An eclectic bunch they may be, but they all have one thing in common… they will be judging you - not only on what you say but also on what you eat!

Thankfully, at the Pork Springs Social, you don’t have to be cultured, you just have to seem cultured...

🥅 No Stretch Goals?

While we do love stretch goals, they're not the right fit for us in this campaign. We’ve had a vision for CULTURED SWINES from the start - to make it beautiful and unique, yet very accessible so we can get as many people schmoozing as possible. By meticulously planning all of the components and materials we are able to pack a lot into our game while delivering great value for money and more predictable shipping costs. Of course if there is something in particular you think would make an incredible addition, please suggest it in the comments, we're always open to suggestions:)

🌱 New to Kickstarter?

Your card will be charged when the campaign ends. We will then use the funds raised on Kickstarter to manufacture the game and deliver your chosen rewards directly to you (shipping info will be added later).

🛍️ Retailers

Are you a retailer interested in stocking CULTURED SWINES? We love FLGS and Brick & Mortar! We would love to see CULTURED SWINES in physical stores around the world. If you are a retailer and want to purchase CULTURED SWINES, please fill out the form above. We will contact you after the Kickstarter campaign. 

🗓️ Estimated Timeline

Note this timeline is an estimate. Unforeseen circumstances in manufacturing, shipping or world events may cause delays. 

📦 Estimated Shipping

Please note that the shipping rate estimates provided above are only approximations for our different pledge levels. The price estimates also do not include any add-ons you may have selected, which could result in an increase in cost. 

The final charges for shipping and sales tax or VAT (where applicable) will be calculated and collected through our Pledge Manager after the end of our campaign and closer to our shipping date.  

📖 Our Story

Hey there! We’re George and Dave, the creators of CULTURED SWINES. Partners in games and in life, we call Australia home and live with our three-year-old groodle named Impa (shout out to the fellow Zelda fans out there!). Together, we make up Bimini Board Games. 

Bimini is an island in The Bahamas—the beautiful country where George was born and raised. George’s home country is a huge inspiration for us. In all of our designs, we really want to shine a light on under-represented voices and unique perspectives—whether that’s in gaming, art, or culture as a whole. 

Three years ago, we set out to create the kind of game we would play with our friends over drinks. A game that's social and interactive at it's core but packed with the kind of interesting decisions and rich themes that keep game nights exciting. Hundreds of playtests and countless "final tweaks" later, we’re finally ready to share CULTURED SWINES with the world. We hope it brings as much laughter and connection to your crew as it has to ours. We just can’t wait to get it to your table!

🙏 Thank You

Please indulge us as we thank all of our wonderful friends, family, and creative partners who have helped us bring our dream to fruition. We’ve had a blast creating CULTURED SWINES over the last several years and none of it would have been possible if not for these people. A big and special thank you to our playtesters who have sat through and given feedback on many (far less polished) iterations of the game, we say thank you for your enthusiasm, your patience, and for all of the laughs along the way. Cheers! 🐷🍸🌴

DISCLAIMER: While we are "definitely done" with the edits, we have learned over the years that there's probably no such thing. As such, all designs (including components, artwork, and rules) are subject to revision, at least until we hit print with the manufacturer.
