Luck Kickstarter PreviewAfter two months of hard work, the Luck: Legends of Ireland Kickstarter is ready! We are so excited for you to see what we have been up to, and we have a free, exclusive gift for our early bird backers!
Some of you are wondering, what is Kickstarter. Kickstarter is an online platform that allows people to back amazing products to help them get made. You get to choose what tier you want to support, and in turn we promise you rewards based on your chosen tier. Best of all, you only pay if the Kickstarter reaches its goal. So, you pay nothing if the product doesn’t get fully funded. This is a great way to launch a new game because we find out how many people want the game before we make it. And if there are enough people who want the game, you get special rewards for supporting our campaign!
The Kickstarter launches on June 18th, but you can go to our preview page now and click “Notify me on launch” to be the very first to receive all updates and alerts from Kickstarter. And you are going to want to be first because we have a special, limited edition, gift for our Early Bird backers! We have designed a lenticular pooka mat that “shape-shifts” from a sheep to a pooka when you look at it from different angles.
What can you do to make sure you don’t miss our launch?

Share the Luck!
Remember, a Kickstarter only gets made if there are enough backers, so please share the luck! Share this link with your friends and family, and share it with any special interest groups you know that like board games, or Ireland, or travel … or anyone you think could use a little family friendly fun! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pizzawithafork/luck-legends-of-ireland
Origins 2026
Pizza With a Fork is coming to Origins Game Fair for the first time ever! June 18th to 21st, Grant, Heather, and David will be introducing our games to a whole new venue, and thousands of people will have a chance to see Haunted Inheritance, Float Your Boat, and Luck:Legends of Ireland for the very first time.
If you will be at Origins, please look for our booth in the exhibit hall and visit us! We are at booth 2206. We may be feeling a bit overwhelmed and will be grateful to see your familiar face! And if you are doing the scavenger hunt, you can decipher our clue to find the hidden QR code!
Strong Tower Sign Up
Event sign-up for Strong Tower Gaming Convention begins June 6th! I have to admit we haven’t submitted our events yet, but we will soon! Make sure to order your badges so that you can sign up for your favorite events when they open. Strong Tower is one of our favorite conventions because of the small size and the good-hearted people running it. If you have never been to a convention before, this is the perfect place to begin!
Shout outs! - Thank you to Lindsey for taking the time to meet with us and walk us through the process of preparing for our first Origins game fair. We would be lost without you!
- Our gratitude to Debbie Snow, the artist who painted the scenery for Luck: Legends of Ireland. Thank you for bringing the lush Irish landscapes to our game board!
- Shout out to Danielle for referring us to Livingstone for the creation of our Kickstarter video. This is going to be so fun!
- A very special thank you to Seth at Nauvoo Games for your timely advice. You are a life-saver, or at least a sanity-saver.
- Sarah, we will be looking for you at Origins! It is never an official event until you make an appearance.
And to all of our Pizza People, thank you for taking this journey with us!
