Great news, everyone! We’ve just unlocked our next stretch goal! Thanks to your incredible support, Boba Mahjong Grande will now include larger, easier-to-read player aids. 🙌
🀄 Larger Player Aid (Unlocked!)
More clarity, less squinting! The upgraded player aids make it quicker and smoother to reference rules during play, helping games flow better and making the experience more accessible for everyone at the table. This is one of those quality-of-life upgrades that really shines during repeated plays.
Thank you for helping make Grande even better! 💛
Our next target is $9,500, and it unlocks a beautiful visual upgrade:
✨ Spot UV on the Grande Box
Let it shine! This upgrade adds elegant Spot UV coating to the Grande edition box, giving select elements a glossy finish that makes the artwork pop. It’s a premium touch that collectors and shelf-display lovers will truly appreciate.
Let’s keep the momentum going and make this happen! 💪
🎨 Playmat Update — Second Playmat Color Draft Complete!
Our amazing artist Holly Chiu has just finished the color draft for the second Boba Mahjong playmat, and it’s looking absolutely lovely. Thank you all so much for the thoughtful feedback that helped shape this version. Holly is now moving toward finalizing the artwork.
We’d love your input on one more thing:
👉 If you pledge for a playmat, would you like the option to choose between the two designs, or are you happy with the first playmat as-is?
Your thoughts will help us decide how to move forward, so please let us know in the comments!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Ta-Te and the Boba Mahjong team!
Pricing & Shipping Clarification for the All-In Pledge

Hi everyone,
While working on the campaign today, I realized there were a couple of mistakes related to the All-In pledge, and I want to clarify everything clearly and transparently.
👜 Tote Bag Included by Mistake (But You Keep It!)
In the original plan, the All-In pledge was not intended to include the tote bag, and it’s not listed in the page description. However, due to a setup error, the tote bag item was added to the pledge.
At this point, we’re leaving it as-is, which means the All-In pledge now comes out to about 35% off the retail value. Think of it as a happy accident and a thank-you for your strong support. 😊
🚚 Shipping Adjustment for All-In Add-On
I also noticed an error in the shipping cost for the All-In add-on. It was previously listed as $8 for the US and many other countries, but the correct amount should be $4.
This has been updated on the campaign page. If you’ve already pledged for the All-In as an add-on, no worries at all. I’ll make sure shipping is set correctly in the pledge manager before anything is charged.
🌟 Stretch Goals Update Coming Next
After posting this update, I’ll be adjusting the stretch goals to better reflect our priorities and help us make the best version of the game possible. More details coming very soon!
Thank you, as always, for your patience, understanding, and support. I truly appreciate this community and how kind and flexible everyone has been.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 💛🧋

Happy Friday, everyone! 🧋🎉

We have a fun art update to share! Our amazing artist Holly Chiu is currently working on a second Boba Mahjong “In the Store” playmat, and we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Which version do you like more and why? Your feedback truly helps us refine the details and create the best possible artwork for the Boba Mahjong world.
A little backstory: months ago, I asked Holly to create one draft for a Boba Mahjong playmat. Instead, she surprised us with four incredible designs. Choosing just one was nearly impossible, so… we kind of cheated and picked two. 😄
Based on the current Kickstarter funding, it’s likely we won’t be able to produce the second playmat right away. Still, I really wanted to share and support Holly’s beautiful work and invite you into the creative process.
Please let us know which design (of the In the Store playmat) speaks to you and what you love about it. As always, thank you so much for your feedback, encouragement, and support.
Back to the first playmat — the “Store Front” playmat. To help visualize gameplay, we’ve digitally placed a deck of cards and cards in the mixing piles directly onto the playmat, and honestly, it looks great. The cards and artwork complement each other beautifully, and everything feels clear, cozy, and very bobalicious together. 💛
Looking forward to your comments and thoughts. Have a wonderful weekend!
