Pineapple: A Visceral Truth or Lie Game

Created by Jonathan Ritter-Roderick

In this 3-11 person card game, ask deep questions, get weird, get awkward, and find some liars.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Pin Design Update!
almost 5 years ago – Wed, Apr 07, 2021 at 02:47:53 PM

Hello apples!

The previous pin colors did not translate well into actual Pantone colors for manufacturing. So we switched it up! Pretty awesome to see this wild design by Ryan Lesser evolve.

It will be coming on a card with two rubber backings and 1.5" in size. If you still want to snag one, I've left surveys open. You can head here to retrieve yours or alter an existing order: https://pineapple.backerkit.com/

I'll be asking the factory for a timeline on both the pins and games, so once I have that, you will too. Metal pineapples are all done and just waiting for a home <3

Manufacturing Update!

Hello apples,

Short but simple update. Manufacturing will be starting next week! Also, I am getting quotes on air freight because boat container space is extremely limited and kind of silly for such a small game. Stay tuned for more developments as they occur.

Thank you all for your patience!

Which bag size?
about 5 years ago – Tue, Mar 09, 2021 at 02:18:22 PM

Hello apples,

The final physical sample is in! You can see the new back below. Also, I have a choice in front of me and wanted to hear your thoughts. There are two bag sizes. One is very snug and the other very roomy.

The snug one does this silly thing of damaging the card corners every time you take the deck out. I hate it.

The larger bag does not have this problem, but it is pretty large.

I'm very much leaning towards the larger bag, but the sticker needs adjusting. What do you think?

The Physical Sample is in!

Hello apples!

First, there are still 74 backers who have not finished their survey. The surveys will lock in March! If the surveys are not done before then, you run the risk of needing to pay extra shipping costs. To retrieve your survey, go here: https://pineapple.backerkit.com/

We are so close to hitting print! Here is what I just received. d20 for scale.

NOTE: The packaging will have a sticker on the front but it wasn't ready for printing.

The sample looks super solid. A few changes I'm making after seeing it.

  • Increasing card thickness from 300gsm to 315gsm
  • Adding a linen finish
  • Moving to a more sturdy ivorycore
  • Potentially increasing bag size
  • Changing the card back design

The first card back turned out to be overly simplified. Here is the change.

The pattern is a big improvement when compared to the vast white space on the original back. It will also help distinguish the front from back faster.

Once Chinese New Year is over, I will be receiving a new back, the packaging sticker, sample cards to ensure proper quality, and an uncut sheet of the cards with new backs. And if all looks good, production will begin.

The Pledge Manager is Open!

Hello apples!

You should have received an email with a link to the Pineapple BackerKit earlier this week. We are over 50% completed which is awesome. Surveys will be locking on March 1, so don't wait.

If you did not see the survey email, simply click here to retrieve it. Don't forget to check your spam!

My favorite part of the pledge manager might be this badass pin by Ryan Lesser, owner of Wild Power Games and guest designer on Pineapple!


Pine Apple Pin

And we also have 28 of the 50 Jet Metal Pineapples left!

Jet Metal Pineapple

The physical sample is in the mail now, arriving next week! If all looks good, production will start right after Chinese New Year :)

Thanks, everyone. Almost there!
