Hello Survivors, Newcomers, and Victims!
First. Thank you. Grindhouse is a passion project and we are so happy Season 2 was funded. Now we can put some more blood, sweat, and tears of joy into making it even more Epic! The reception from players when Grindhouse was released was overwhelmingly positive, we know that Grindhouse 2 will be even more so and there are many tricks and treats in store.
The pre-order/late backer store will be up soon, probably early next week. Please share it with anyone you feel would enjoy playing Grindhouse!
The next step for us is the pledge manager. The pledge manager most likely won't be live until early 2023. Please don't worry we just want to get the most accurate prices for shipping and fulfillment.
As we enter the holiday season we hope all of you are safe and are as excited for Grindhouse 2's future as we are.
If you have any questions or concerns the best way to reach us is [email protected].
You're the Best Backers in the World!

Thank You, Survivors!
THANK YOU ALL!
Without your EPIC support, we can't make games like these! We need your support to do this! So we thank you for making Grind House a Reality!
It's because of each and every one of YOU that we are able to create this amazing game Grind House and all of these EPIC brand new Episode Packs!
We truly appreciate all of your amazing comments, shares, and support in this campaign! Now for us, it's time to get back to work!
We will be working to finish up all of the Episode Pack writing, Editing, and then graphic design to get the game ready for print as soon as possible!
We will do our best to update you all and keep you in the look at a minimum once per month as we go through this process and get the game to the printers, then to fulfillment, and all the way into your hands and onto your tables!
Pledge Manager
We will send out an update in a few weeks about the Pledge Manager, there you'll be able to upgrade your pledge, pay for shipping and give us your mailing address info and add-on stuff! Please be patient as we prepare the pledge manager for your arrival :)
We can't wait for you all to get your games and start losing arms, legs, and even your heads, in our epic narrative game... Grind House!

Happy Halloween Survivors!
We've Unlocked another goal and are VERY Close to the extra Character Goals!
For two Unique Characters which will raise the player count! These characters will be for Kickstarter Backers Only! (And Pledge Manager Backers) But of course, we don't hit stretch goals in the pledge manager :)
For the Social Goals we will put out another update tomorrow on how we can maybe hit something there, by reducing it to the number of current backers (around 500), and of course, we will take into account that some of you already follow us and reduce that number some more as well!
Episode Pack Overviews:
Contest of Champions
If this isn’t your first Rodeo in the Grind House, then Contest of Champions is the expansion for you. Re-enter the house assuming the roles of previous winners, complete with pre-existing conditions that can act as both a hindrance and an advantage. This time around there are no fixed number of rooms, no bonus points, and no additional ghost winners. The game goes on until a single survivor remains, earning the title of the true champion once and for all.

But what's it about?
This Episode is for the real challengers who are only concerned with one thing: being the sole survivor. In this expansion, all players assume the roles of returning champions from previous games, and because of that, things are a little different. For one thing, each room in this expansion is a re-imagining of a final room from a previous episode in which exactly one player will die, every time. Ghosts cannot win, and there isn’t even a point score at the end of this game. In the Contest of Champions, you continue to draw new rooms until one Survivor is left, and they are crowned the ultimate Grind House Survivor.
In addition to the new gameplay format, each Survivor starts with a card from a new deck, called “Pre-existing conditions.” This could range from a prosthetic limb that replaces your standard limb tile to a number of disorders earned through their first experience. Each Pre-existing condition comes with both a positive and negative aspect, for example, the prosthetic arm is only worth 1 point, however it grants the Survivor a single re-roll at any point during the game.

Trap or Treat
Meet the Hostess in this expansion that fits into the core game and all expansions of Grind House. In addition to your usual lineup of rooms, Trap or Treat introduces over 30 new “mini-rooms” that take place in between the main encounters faced in the Grind House. While the Hostess may show mercy to the players by offering gifts and advantages, she’s just as likely to rub salt in your wounds to kick you while you’re down. Find out the secrets of the Hostess in the Trap or Treat expansion!

But what's it about?
This is considered a mini-episode, not because of the amount of content (spoiler alert, it actually contains more cards than any other expansion!), but because of the way, it’s integrated into the game. Unlike the other episodes, Trap or Treat is not its own experience, and is instead integrated into the core game, or any other episode for that matter.
Artwork by Kim Diaz Holm
This expansion comes with two new decks of cards. The first is a set of identical room-sized cards that when drawn, lead players into a mini-room, which does not contribute to the normal 5 rooms experienced over a playthrough. When a Trap or Treat room card is drawn, Players then draw a card from the second deck, which sets up a more brief scenario. These mini-rooms won’t generally be significant enough to kill off a Survivor, however, it could add new items into Survivors' hands, revive dead players, or force Survivors to take a wound, lose items, or even replace their persona mid-game. Nothing is guaranteed once you enter the Hostess’s domain in Trap or Treat!
More Epicness to come!
You're the Best Backers in the World!
