2 months ago – Tue, Aug 04, 2026 at 06:08:19 AM

Hello, Devoted Flock! 🐑

Thank you for your continued support, enthusiasm, and fantastic engagement in the comments – we're really enjoying sharing this campaign with you!

🔥 Campaign Progress

• Funding progress:We just reached £1.6 million (that's over $2 million USD and $3 million Australian dollars!) 🤯
• The Flock has grown to over 8300 backers (That's enough to fill some UK towns with devoted followers of the Lamb!)
• You've unlocked 35 Stretch Goals and 10 Social Goals!

🏡 Share Your Base and Win an All-In Deluxe Pledge!

Between August 4th (today!) and August 10th, we'll be hosting a special community contest, with an All-In Deluxe Kickstarter Pledge up for grabs!

To enter, share a screenshot of your Cult of the Lamb base on Twitter/X or Instagram between August 4th and August 10th, using the hashtag #COTLboardgame. Be sure to tag @paperfortgames on Twitter/X and Instagram, as well as @cultofthelamb on Twitter/X or @cultofthelambofficial on Instagram.

The winner will be chosen by the Paper Fort Games team and announced on August 11th. They will also be contacted via DM on Twitter/X or Instagram. Please note that, to be eligible to win, you must be located in a region where the game can be shipped (see the Kickstarter page for full details). Shipping costs for the prize will be covered. If the winner has already backed the campaign, we'll instead provide credit in the pledge manager equal to the value of the All-In Deluxe pledge plus shipping to their region.

The winning base, along with some of the team's other favourites, will be shared with the community on the campaign page and in a future campaign update. We can't wait to see your cults! 👀

🐛🦅 Are you Team Worm or Team Crow? Vote for your new Follower Form!

Throughout the campaign, we've been adding new Follower Forms via Stretch Goals 🔓 These will be included in every copy of the game as either a standee (Retail edition) or wooden head (Deluxe/ Deluxe All-In editions).

It's time for our next poll - should our cult welcome a wriggly worm, or a crafty crow? Cast your vote in the poll attached to this update and help decide which one joins the game!

Don't worry if your favourite doesn't win this round - the runner-up will have another chance to join the flock later in the campaign!

P.S. We realise the emoji choices above are rubbish - we’re shocked there isn’t an official worm or crow emoji! 😩

Our next Follower Form poll will be axolotl vs schnauzer, so keep your eyes peeled for the next update! 

🔎 Component Spotlight: Miniatures

The Retail Edition of Cult of the Lamb: The Board Game comes with standee Followers, prophets, Bishops, and The One Who Waits. For those looking to bring even more detail and personality to the tabletop, Prophet and Bishop miniatures are available as part of the Deluxe and All-In Deluxe pledge levels.

Single-Colour Miniatures

Perfect for players who enjoy painting and customising their own pieces, our single-colour Prophet and Bishop miniatures, included in the Deluxe Edition, are a blank canvas for your creativity!

Whether you want to recreate the characters from the game or give them your own unique look, these miniatures are ready for you to make them your own.

Multicolour Miniatures

Not a miniature painter? No problem!

Our multicolour Prophet and Bishop miniatures, included in the All-In Deluxe Edition, come pre-painted and ready to play straight out of the box. They capture the personality and charm of these characters without requiring any painting skills, so you can focus on what really matters: building your cult!

🎨 Painting Showcase

Below, you'll find a showcase of hand-painted miniatures painted by the wonderful @smithel_art – a true masterclass in what can be achieved with these models!

Be sure to follow @smithel_art on Instagram for more fantastic miniature painting, including Pokémon, LOTR, and Star Wars minis! The account currently has fewer than 100 followers, so let's see if we can help get that into the thousands through the power of the Flock, shall we? 💪

🥳 More Fanart!

The four Prophets continue to capture the imagination of the Flock, and we love seeing all the creativity this campaign has inspired! If you've created something inspired by Cult of the Lamb: The Board Game, please share it with us on social media and tag @paperfortgames. We'd love to see it!

🐑🦉🐍🐐 Suggest Names for Our Adoptees!

Thanks to your support of our Social Goals, you've helped us adopt three lambs, two owls, four snakes and a goat so far! 

🐑🐑🐑🦉🦉🐍🐍🐍🐍🐐

We think it's about time we gave our new adoptees some names, and we want to hear your suggestions! Give us your best lamb, owl, snake and goat names in the comments, and be sure to tell us which animal each name is for. We'll be choosing some of our favourites to feature in a naming poll in a future update!

❤ Thank You 

As always, thank you so much for your incredible support. We couldn't do this without you!

Until next time, Flock! 🐑

Hello, Devoted Flock! 🐑

It’s been another wonderful few days here on the campaign page – thank you so much for being part of the journey!

🔥 Campaign Progress

• We've just passed £1,350,000!
• The Flock has grown to over 7000 backers
• You've unlocked 30 Stretch Goals and 7 Social Goals 

✅ Poll Result + New Vote!

The result of our second poll is in – you voted for the rabbit to join our Flock! 🐰

This fluffy Follower Form will be included in every copy of the game as either a standee (Retail edition) or wooden head (Deluxe/ Deluxe All-In editions).

Horse fans – don’t worry! This Follower will have another chance to join the cult later in the campaign! Our next Follower vote (worm vs crow) will be polled in an upcoming update! 

🎶 Share an Ode to Your Prophet!

What better way to honour your favourite Prophet than with the sacred art of poetry?

Whether it's a sonnet, a haiku, a heartfelt ballad, or a full-blown rock anthem dedicated to the Old Faith, we want to read your finest cult-based creations!

Here’s one to get your creative juices flowing:

The Lamb leads the flock
Sacred crown, beneath the moon
Praise the One Who Waits

Share your poems in the comments (preferably in the main campaign page comment section so we can keep track of them) and let the whole Flock bask in your literary brilliance. 🐑📜

Now go forth and put the cult in culture!

🌍 New Languages Added!

We’re very excited to announce that in addition to English, French, Spanish and German, Cult of the Lamb: The Board Game is now available in Polish and Italian!

We’re hoping to add more languages during the campaign. You will choose your language after the campaign, in the pledge manager. The retail version (without KS exclusive content) may be available in additional languages in the future, but we can’t guarantee this.

🛠️ Behind the Scenes – Building Prototypes

If you've watched any of the overview or gameplay videos on the campaign page, you may have noticed the occasional component that looks almost final ... but not quite. Maybe a board with a sticker on it, a handmade component, or something that looks like it came out of the home workshop. There's a reason for that!

We're a small team, so we build all of our prototypes ourselves, right here in the office. Every time we make a gameplay improvement or tweak a rule, we're back at the cutting table making new components to make sure our prototypes are up to date. That means printing, cutting and corner-rounding a lot of cards, bagging up countless little pieces, and spraying 3D-printed versions of the game's miniatures until the office starts to smell like we've accidentally summoned something from the Old Faith.

It takes a long time, but there's something special about knowing that we've had our hands on every prototype that goes out into the world. It also means we can keep testing, tweaking and improving the game right up until the moment it hits mass production. Until recently, we were even making our dual-layer punchboards using a laser cutter. Thankfully, they're now close enough to final that our manufacturer can take over that particular job and save us a few more hours down in the smoky laser mines.

We've included a few snaps below of the process in action, so you can see what goes on behind the scenes!

We recently finished putting together and sending out another handful of prototypes, which means you can expect to see more gameplay and overview videos from different creators appearing on the campaign page over the remainder of the campaign.

❤️ Thank You

Thank you for your enthusiasm, and for helping us bring Cult of the Lamb: The Board Game to life. We couldn't do it without you, Devoted Flock! 🐑

Until next time!

🤯 £1 Million! + Follower Form Poll #1 Result + New Vote + Fanart + Adoptions + Languages + New Shipping Regions Added!
2 months ago – Mon, Jul 27, 2026 at 04:25:33 AM

Hello, Devoted Flock! 🐑

Since our last update, the cult has grown magnificently, with over 4200 new backers! 💪 Welcome to all of our new Followers – we think you’ll love it here!

🔥 Campaign Progress - £1 Million!

• Last night (UK time) we surpassed £1,000,000 – what an absolutely incredible amount; thank you to every one of you for your support! 🤯
• The Flock has grown to over 5300 backers
• You've unlocked 23 Stretch Goals and 6 Social Goals 

✅ Poll Result + New Vote!

The result of our first poll is in – you voted for the Croc to join our Flock! 🐊

This long-snooted Follower Form will be included in every copy of the game as either a standee (Retail edition) or wooden head (Deluxe/ Deluxe All-In editions).

Giraffe fans – don’t despair! This Follower will have another chance to join the Flock later in the campaign! 🦒

Which Follower Form should we unlock next? 🐰🐴

Will your cult welcome a playful Rabbit, or a noble Horse? Cast your vote in the poll below and help decide which one joins the game!

Also, let us know in the comments which Follower Forms you’re hoping to see in upcoming polls – we’ve had some great suggestions already!

🎁 Recent Unlocks

We’re smashing through our stretch goals, so much so that we’ve had to compress the graphic to keep the page from getting too long! Amongst a plethora of other goals, we recently unlocked a second additional Follower form (more on that below!), a sticker sheet and winner's lamb crown – this small hat can be worn by the victorious prophet at the end of each game, as a reminder to the others of who’s really in charge! 👑

Another recent unlock was a display backdrop in every copy of the game – why hide your standees or miniatures away in the box when you can arrange them as a panorama on your desk or shelf? 📸 We're also adding art inside the box tray, and another additional Follower Form (worm vs crow - poll to follow in a future update!)

🎨 Fanart!

We’ve been amazed by the incredible fanart inspired by COTL: The Board Game already - especially the game’s four prophets! Thank you to everyone who has taken time to create something like this. If you’ve made something inspired by this campaign, please share it with us on social media by tagging @paperfortgames – we’d love to see it!

We'll share more fan art as we discover it! 

😍 Adoptions

You’ve been blasting through our Social Goals, which means we’ve already got adoptions lined up for a lamb, 2 owls and 3 snakes! What a great way to honour our new prophets! We’re very close to our first goat adoption - if you’ve got 20 seconds to spare, you can help us get there by visiting the social goals section of the pageand clicking the banners.

🌍 Languages

Cult of the Lamb: The Board Game is available in English, French, Spanish and German – more languages may be added during the campaign. You will choose your language after the campaign, in the pledge manager. The retail version (without KS exclusive content) may be available in additional languages in the future, but we can’t guarantee this.

🚢 New Shipping Locations 

Since the launch of the campaign, we've added these additional regions to our shipping table:

• Canary Islands
• Iceland
• South Africa

If you're in one of these regions, you can now jump on board!

⏰ A Quick Reminder About Update Frequency

As we mentioned in our last update, we’ll be posting updates every few days during the campaign. This helps us keep your inbox from getting overloaded while giving each update more time to have meaningful news, reveals, and things worth sharing. It also gives the team a chance to step away from the screens, recharge, and keep the momentum going without burning out before we reach the end.

We'll still be keeping an eye on comments and messages, so please don't worry if you need to reach out. Replies may just take a little longer than usual while we take some well-earned downtime - especially over the weekends.

🐾 In Memory of Peach

This update is dedicated to Peach, a backer's sweet Chihuahua who recently passed away - in her memory, we've donated £100 to Dog's Trust. Dog's Trust are a charity who care for dogs and support owners, from rehoming to driving lasting change for dogs worldwide.

❤️ Thank You

Thank you so, so much for being here, for your enthusiasm, and for helping to bring Cult of the Lamb: The Board Game to life.

Until next time, Flock!

Hello, Devoted Flock! 🐑

What an incredible start to the campaign - thank you all so much for your support! We funded in 10 minutes, and you've already unlocked 10 stretch goals, including a new enemy type for the Darkwood crusade, prophet-specific art on intent cards/ dials, and an extra-large metal first player coin (increased from 40mm to 50mm) for all physical backers!

Overnight, as we got some rest, you've also unlocked art inside the box lid (for the Deluxe and All-In Deluxe editions) and a new enemy type for the Anura Crusade!
 
Within the last hour, we've unlocked another Stretch Goal ... a new Follower form! Scroll down to take part in the first poll of the campaign and help decide which follower will be joining our cult! 

🐊🦒Are you Team Crocodile or Team Giraffe? Vote for your new Follower Form!

Throughout the campaign, new Follower Forms will be unlocked via Stretch Goals 🔓 These will be included in every copy of the game as either a standee (Retail edition) or wooden head (Deluxe/ Deluxe All-In editions).

Now comes the important question...

Should our cult welcome a sneaky Crocodile, or a towering Giraffe? Cast your vote in the poll attached to this update and help decide which one joins the game!

Don't worry if your favourite doesn't win this round - the runner-up will have another chance to join the flock later in the campaign!

Also, let us know in the comment the Follower Forms you’re hoping to see in upcoming polls!

📱 Social Goal Unlocked - We're adopting an Owl!

You did it, Flock! We hit our first social goal which means we're adopting an owl!  In a future update, we'll be providing more information about this adoption, and you'll be able to help us name our adoptee! 

As we've surpassed that goal, here's another - If we reach 550 retweets of our pinned tweet, we'll be adopting another owl 🦉.

Take a look at our other social goals, too - you can help via Facebook, Instagram and YouTube too! (click the banner below to be taken to the relevant pages!) 

😍 Project We Love

We're also honoured that Kickstarter has awarded the campaign Project We Love status, awarded to projects that are "...brilliant examples of creativity..."

🙏 Please Share the Campaign! 

If you haven't already, we'd be incredibly grateful if you could share the campaign with your friends, family, and fellow cultists! Every share helps us reach more people and unlock even more stretch goals. You can use this link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/paperfortgames/cult-of-the-lamb-the-board-game?ref=69spco

👋 New to Kickstarter?

If this is your first Kickstarter campaign, welcome! You can find our FAQ here and our pledging guide here - these guides should help with most questions you might have. 

⌛ Pledge Over Time

Just a reminder that pledges of £100 or more can be split into three monthly, interest-free payments during the campaign. You can find out more here.

📅 What's Next?

We'll be posting another update Friday, and then every 48–72 hours for the rest of the campaign. This gives us enough time to work behind the scenes (there are only six of us!) while hopefully keeping you updated without filling your inbox. We'll also be answering as many comments as we can, so please bear with us if replies are a little slow. If we're not in the comments, we're probably updating the campaign page, preparing the next reveal... or grabbing a few hours of sleep!

We've got loads planned over the coming weeks, including community giveaways, more polls, and plenty of surprises! 

❤️ Thank You

Once again, thank you for believing in Cult of the Lamb: The Board Game. Your support means the world to our tiny team, and we're so excited to show you everything we've got planned over the coming weeks.

Until next time!
