A party game written by comedians so you know it's written good! When you buy the game or book a comic to host your friends, you'll receive a *FREE* one-year membership to the online game.
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
Thank you for being a backer! We have some exciting updates for you today.
In this update:
A lot goes into making a card game. We are currently negotiating with manufacturers overseas to make sure you get the best game we can possibly pump out. At the same time, we are finalizing our cards for all our games: the boxed game, the Kickstarter Exclusive, the 2020: Year of the A.S.S. expansion, and the new premium digital version (more on that later!)
We are currently on track to ship everything for June 2021, as we hoped, just in time for Fathers Day and graduations. If anything changes on that front we will let you know right away.
We are currently testing a new premium digital version of the game that we will release soon to an adoring public. This is a paid product that anyone can purchase and play online with their friends.
Why a premium version? We wanted to make sure that as many people as possible get to play the game, and going digital AND physical was the best way to do that. But we did not want to give away the content our backers paid for to others for free. Charging for the full digital game also lets us pay our web hosting fees and continue to update content each season to keep it fresh.
And guess what? If you backed us on Kickstarter, or if you buy the boxed game from our Preorder Store, we will send you a FREE 1-year membership to say thank you.
This means you will get to start playing the full game online very soon, hopefully before the new year! We are very excited about this, and hope you have fun playing with friends and family. Laughter is the best medicine other than a vaccine, after all.
Keep your eyes peeled for updates. The link will come to your inbox soon!
If you are one of the fortunate souls who purchased a hosted experience, you and your friends could start playing as early as January! We will start taking reservations after the holidays, and Jon will be hosting groups on the new premium website (free to you and your friends, of course). Please keep an eye on your inbox for a message from us with a link for scheduling your game.
Weren't able to back us for a hosted experience during the campaign? No sweat. You can book Jon and Jenny to play at our preorder store. A hosted experience makes a great Holiday gift!
That about wraps it up. If you have any questions, please reach out. We love hearing from our backers.
Yours anti-socially,
Sam and the A.S.S. Team!
Last night six of our most talented friends and followers hopped on a Zoom with Jon and created a hilarious live show. You can see the entire thing here:
Huge thanks to Geoffrey Plitt, Eric Alejandro, Nash Flynn, Heidi Perry, Dave Lemley, and Harrison Greenbaum!

Even more exciting news:
In the final stretch, new pledges are coming in all the time, so by the time you read this we may be funded. Expect another update soon, and make sure to tune-in to our YouTube show.
Thank you so much for all your support! We literally could not do this without you.
We're feeling great as we move into the home stretch. Thank you for all your support A.S.S. fans! As we move into our final week, we are announcing a new reward tier: The Thanksgiving Game Night!
That's right. The comic of your choice will join your virtual Thanksgiving table for a hosted game of Anti-Social Skills. It's the sure cure for your pandemic blues. With just a few days left in the campaign, now is a great time to upgrade your pledge!
We've also released our second episode of our YouTube show featuring Jon and all of our writers. Watch it now, and let us know what you think in the comments. Be sure to like and subscribe!
We'll be back with more updates as we get closer and closer to our goal. Expect a lot of surprises over the next several days. Until then, keep laughing.

Also in this update: Chicago Live and we are at 86%!
Jon will be on Reddit at 2pm answering questions about writing for late night TV, how he became head monologue writer for Jimmy Fallon, his tenure at WWE, teaching at Emerson during a pandemic, his infamous White House Correspondents' Dinner joke, and of course Anti-Social Skills.
If you have questions for Jon, drop by. We'd love to hear from some of you devoted A.S.S. fans!
Earlier this week we broadcasted live from Chicago. If you missed the show, don't worry: you can watch the whole thing on YouTube here!
Lastly we just want to say thank you for all the support. We are so close we can see the finish line and we are sprinting toward that tape. Stay tuned for more exciting updates.
Thanks,
Sam and the whole Anti-Social Skills team
