It's happened! We’ve crossed the £2,000 goal, and are now at £2,384 (119% funded) with 68 backers! This is an incredible milestone and I’m so grateful to every single person who has backed the project. You'll notice that the amount we are at is actually considerably higher than our goal... A beautiful and precious family has just given a very generous £500 donation (for no reward!) in the same spirit as the church of Macedonia, giving beyond what many would consider reasonabl

We’re now 86% funded (£1,735) with 63 backers, thank you so much to every single person who has backed the project so far. This is a brilliant achievement and I’m really grateful. We’re trending well and look like we should hit our £2,000 goal, but we’re not quite there yet. With only 7 days left, every new backer in this last week makes a big difference. If you’ve been thinking about backing, or know someone who might enjoy the game for their family, youth group, Sunday scho

Very exciting news! After many months of preparation, our first 1,000 copies of Chronicles of the Kingdom have officially left the factory and are now heading across the ocean to the UK. They have let me know that the game is being loaded and have given me the details for the container ship! Key Info: Ship Name: Cosco Shipping Alps Departure: Sunday 7th June Expected Arrival in the UK: Friday 10th July I asked google if it was possible to track and found this map! For anyone

We are just over week into the campaign and we’ve already reached 61% funded (£1,237) with 48 backers! Thank you so much to everyone who has supported the project so far. Since we’re well on our way towards hitting our funding goal, and we've still got 3 weeks to go, I have set a Stretch Goal for the project of £3,500 If we can reach £3,500 by the end of the campaign, we will be providing Free Shipping to anywhere in the world on all physical rewards! This would remove one of

I’m thrilled to announce that the Kickstarter campaign for Chronicles of the Kingdom is now officially open! What is Kickstarter and How Does It Work? Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that allows creators to bring projects to life with the support of backers. It works on an “all-or-nothing” basis: You only pay if the project reaches its funding goal. If the goal isn’t reached, no one is charged. Once funded, and the games arrive from the factory, my wife and I will fulf

When I was planning Chronicles of the Kingdom (or Chronos as I was calling it then) back in 2019, I created an excel spreadsheet with a list Bible of events that I was curating for the game. This spreadsheet has since expanded and multiplied into a full database for the game. It has been invaluable in creating mailmerges for the cards, allowing me to rapidly iterate and create new prototypes in different styles and designs. But one other thing it enables is a simple mechanism

So Chronicles of the Kingdom is being released via Kickstarter next week, but... What is Kickstarter and How Does It Work? If you’ve never used Kickstarter before, don’t worry, it’s actually very straightforward! Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform where creators like me launch projects and people can pledge money to help bring them to life. You only pay if the project reaches its funding goal. If the goal isn’t met, no one pays anything. Here’s how it works in simple step

I've been beavering away updating the Kickstarter page with a whole host of new info, so if you haven't looked at it in the last few days there is a ton of new stuff on there for you to feast your eyes on. (In fact a complete overhaul in the last month!) Kickstarter Launch Date This work has been primarily to get ready ahead of the launch and with that being said the campaign will go live on Tuesday 26th May and run for 28 days (ending 23rd June). What Rewards Will Be Availab

To say I am excited right now is an understatement! On Wednesday this week I was invited to be part of a Bible Project event in London where they explained their seven pillars of understanding the Bible and trialled a community scripture reading approach. I also got to meet Tim and Jon as well as the team that were part of the trip. A couple of months ago I did a bespoke order of Chronicles of the Kingdom for a single prototype deck and sent it to them with the help of Stacey

I received this very exciting video from the factory yesterday! (I might have spiced it up a bit...) Very pleased with how they are looking, I really wanted a quality product with a nice premium feel. They are sending 2 samples through for final approval, expecting to receive them Wednesday next week! Really looking forward to that! Look out for that update, it's sure to be exciting!

"Aaahhh… this game has already built so many fun memories - both for us as a family and as part of our church youth group. My kids (aged 14, 11 & 10) all love it… even the 18 month old would love to get her hands on it! It’s amazing how fun and enjoyable it can be to gently, but meaningfully, start to get a grasp of the Bible timeline. I know people say learning is accelerated through play, but I’ve never seen it in action like this before! As a relatively new believer, I was

I was invited to host this week's family service at Grace Church Narberth with the request that I teach everyone how to play Chronicles of the Kingdom! We had games played across 12 tables full of families ranging from young children to great grandparents: Much fun was had by all! Grace Church is currently focusing on identity, so I wrapped up the activity by talking through key events linking to baptism (the flood, crossing the red sea, crossing the Jordan, Jesus baptism, Je

Just over a month ago I was asked by the printers to choose what colour gold foil I wanted on the cards, and after reviewing a few options, landed on this beautiful rich gold (TY_613): This weekend I received a couple of videos from the factory showing the latest progress on the production of the game. The Spot UV and gold foil detailing has been done and the box art has been printed! Spot UV adds a glossy coat to certain areas of the design to give it a nice premium finish a

I received this exciting video from the factory yesterday - our cards for the first batch of Chronicles of the Kingdom were printed last week ! I figured I'd be cheeky and ask if they could take a video of the cards being printed - If you don't ask, you don't get! Enough prints for the first 1000 copies of the game! It feels like such a huge milestone after years of play-testing, refining, and dreaming about this game. Seeing the physical cards come to life is incredibly enco

Just had a wonderful endorsement for Chronicles of the Kingdom from a great friend and elder: "Having led a church in Bracknell for over 40 years and worked with New Frontiers leadership team in the UK and overseas I always wanted to use my gift as an evangelist to help people grasp the whole story of Scripture, especially the Old Testament foundations that point so beautifully to Christ. Chronicles of the Kingdom does exactly that. This well-designed timeline card game mak

I've just put the finishing touched to our first (fairly) polished video. This video describes how to play the basic game following the rules in the box set (read them here) If you want to be featured in our next video, join our mailing list (at the top of this page) and we'll send you a print and play copy so you can have a go!

Chronicles of the Kingdom is more than just a fun game to play, it can also be used as a teaching tool! Every Sunday I use Chronicles of the Kingdom with a dual purpose - to start the session off with a fun activity, and as a teaching aid to help the kids visualise the topic we are talking through. Here's a snapshot of some prep I did a few weeks ago: The kids loved it and we talked about Israel's rebellion after hearing the spies report of giants in the promised land! We lan

In my last post I mentioned that Chronicles of the Kingdom is divided into 7 Periods. These Periods represent the key phases of the Biblical narrative: 1 - The Beginning Period runs from God's plan to create his family, through creation all the way to Joseph in Egypt. (This Period was called The Patriarchs in the prototype, but it starts earlier than them so it got a name change!) 2 - The Exodus Period begins with the Israelites in Egypt and lasts up until Joshua leads the

Printing is soon to begin (plotters approved today!), and we're getting closer every day to bringing this Bible timeline game into homes, youth groups, and churches. While we wait for the first samples to arrive in April (which is super exciting!), I thought it would be the perfect time to share exactly how the game plays - starting with the simple, core version that's included in the box. Chronicles of the Kingdom is a competitive-yet-cooperative timeline building game for a

Welcome! Thank you for taking an interest in my game! I wanted to give some background around how the game came about and, being a big Games Workshop fan (and ex-staff member), I really enjoy the articles they do in interview style. So I asked Grok to interview me and had a genuinely enjoyable time answering its questions and recollecting the journey I'd been on to get here. Q: What originally sparked the idea for Chronicles of the Kingdom? A: I've been involved in church
