Dearest Gentle Game Enthusiasts!
The Pledge Manager is now open for Impropriety!
All backers should have received an email this morning with our BackerKit Survey, which is where you can complete your order.
For those of you who are new to using a pledge manager, here is what you will find in your survey. You can:
-
Enter your shipping information. You can change addresses as many times as you need between now and when manufacturing ends and shipping begins (estimated for mid-September).
-
Confirm your Kickstarter Pledge Rewards & add any additional items. Double check to make sure that your original pledge is correct, and if you would like to add Masquerade or the Jane Austen 250th mini-expansion to your order, you can do so here!
-
Upgrade your pledge. If you would like to change your order from the Standard Edition of Volume 1 to the Deluxe, you can also do that here.
-
Pay for shipping & taxes. The pledge manager will automatically calculate shipping and local sales taxes based on your province/state/country and add this to your total.
Everyone must complete their surveys & confirm the items in their orders by July 31st, 2026. You will still be able to change your address afterward, but by this date we will need finalized item totals for our manufacturer. Your card will not be charged until shipping begins (mid-September), and we will update you again before doing so.
If you ever have any questions about the survey or your order, please feel free to email us at [email protected]. We are always happy to help!
Always,
Nina & Devon
Happy Monday! — What's next for Impropriety?

Dearest Impropriety Enthusiasts,
You are likely wondering as to what happens next now that the campaign is fully funded. We are writing to let you know what you can expect in the coming weeks and months leading up to delivery.
Late Pledges & Pledge Manager
Late pledges are now open, which means the game is still available for purchase through the Kickstarter page for new backers. Late pledges will be open up until manufacturing is completed and fulfilment begins, at which time we will switch to pre-orders directly through our website.
For those who pledged during the campaign, we will be launching our Pledge Manager through BackerKit in a few weeks, and you will receive an email notification when that becomes available. During the pledge manager, backers of all reward tiers can add to their orders (for example, expansion packs or Volume 2), or upgrade from the Standard Edition to the Deluxe Edition.
If you have any questions about your order, please do not hesitate to email us at [email protected].
What's Next for Impropriety
The next stages are finalizing the files with our manufacturer with the many achieved stretch goals! This is a back-and-forth process of seeking perfection, and once the files are fully approved we move into the pre-production phase, where we will receive samples of all of the final products. When this happens, we'll inspect them, make any required changes or alterations (and also take a zillion pictures for you to see!), and once any minor issues have been resolved and we have a perfect edition, we move into mass production!
While we cannot predict any global bumps in the road, based on everything we are doing we are on track to deliver in Q4 of this year!
A Note from the Team
We want you to know what you can expect from us in the meantime while we all eagerly await the game's arrival! It is very important to us to live by a mantra of full-transparency and communication with our backers; after all, this is a team effort and you deserve to know how the process is moving along. We do not want to bombard you with emails, but we plan to send an update at least once a month, and also whenever major production/shipping milestones are reached. If you would like more frequent peeks at what is happening, we recommend following our Instagram that is regularly active (@punktuationgames).
Please also know that if there are any disruptions (global shipping shifts, manufacturing delays, etc.), we will share these with you immediately. No matter how organized we are or how diligent we have been, sometimes there are unexpected obstacles; should they arise, we will conquer them together.
Devon & I are always available for communication, so if you ever have questions feel free to send us an email.
One Last Thank You for Now
We are so appreciative of all of your support, and look forward to the day when you play Impropriety for the first time. Please be sure to share with us your experiences!
Always,
Nina (& Devon, of course)
Thank you for bringing Impropriety to Life!

Last night felt like the countdown to a New Year's midnight as the hour of the campaign's close drew near. While there was tea in the stead of champagne, there was a much anticipated sigh of relief, many hugs, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude to everyone who has been a part of this journey with us.
We closed the campaign at 1100% funded, with 903 backers! To conceptualize that our game will be played on almost a thousand tables by this year's end is a joy like no other. We feel as though you have invited us into your homes with our story, and we couldn't have asked for more gracious hosts.
Devon and I are going to take the weekend to catch our breath. As always, we will be available with prompt answers to questions and messages through Kickstarter, email, and Instagram, and we will have an update for you all on the next steps for your pledges on Monday. Late pledges are now open for anyone who missed the midnight mark.
Perhaps we are now a broken record of thank yous, but it really just never feels like enough. Kickstarter is just that—the kickstarting of dreams. Thank you for giving us the little kick that we needed. :)
Always,
Nina & Devon
Shall We Begin the Countdown to Midnight? Final hours!

Here we are at last: the final stretch! There is but half a day remaining in the campaign, and still a great deal that can be accomplished in that time with the help of our splendid community!
We have achieved some new milestones that are quite astounding, and we are still agog when we take stock of how far we have come in such a short while!
We have…
- Surpassed $100,000 CAD raised from over 840 backers! This is REMARKABLE! We would be lying if the moment this happened last evening did not move us to tears of sheer gratitude.
- We have achieved 11 Stretch Goals and 1 Social Stretch goal… which brings us to….
Time to Stretch as Far as this Campaign Can Go!
Let us set a challenge to see how many social stretch goals we can achieve over the next 12 hours!
Regency Selfie Challenge
- We know that many of our Regency friends have camera rolls full of glorious pictures from various costumed events, and it is as simple as making a little Instagram post of a selfie in Regency attire and tagging us! These do not need to be current photos either—any moment captured from your adventurous past will do. Invite your friends to participate, even if they have not backed the game! This is a challenge in the spirit of celebrating the beautiful Regency costume community that we cherish so deeply!
- All we need are 15 more pictures to be able to add an exquisite, printed pattern to the Standard Edition cloth bag!
Words of Impropriety
- Post a picture of Impropriety on Instagram from our profile or the Kickstarter page with a voiceover reading the game’s quote on the inside of the box lid (see the image at the bottom). Tag us and the game as well!
- A few more submissions will expand the Ball experience by adding 2 more Ball Scenarios and 2 new Secret Cards for all editions!
A Little Teatime Chat
We also added a fun little question over in the comment section of the Kickstarter! We would love to hear your thoughts on what your plans are for your first time playing Impropriety when it arrives on your doorstep later this year! Please do spill the tea!
Together to the End
Let’s do this! We feel that this has been a team effort with all of our supporters, and in that same spirit we shall celebrate this victory together! Onward and upward, and ever thankful to you.
Always,
Nina & Devon
The Final Stretch & a Delightful Announcement!
2 months ago

Hello to our fine Regency Game friends!
Can you believe that 3 weeks have already passed since we first launched the campaign? Time is flying by, and with only one week left there is much to share with you, and still much to do... and we may need your help!
So far, we have...
- raised over $83,000 from over 680 backers!
- unlocked 10 total stretch goals!
- begun to receive entries for the Regency Self-portrait Social Stretch Goal!
- and most excitingly.... Masquerade has been defying our original expectations in its popularity, so we have decided to UPGRADE it at no cost to you!
Masquerade: a Glam-Up
At first, when we decided to take the risk and launch a novel-esque board game, we were unsure of two things: how the solo mode would be received, and if the sequel would be as desirable as we hoped. We are happy to announce that both have gathered high praise, so we have decided to add to Masquerade further with the following enhancements:
- Instead of cardboard Betting tokens, we are going to replace them with wooden marker pawns
- We are adding Horse Racing cards to the scenario decks!
- We are also adding 6 more Town Square Scenarios!
Thank you to everyone who is excited about this idea! When we first told people we were going to somehow combine the concept of a novel-series into a board-game series, we received some peculiar glances. Taking risks is terrifying, but the ultimate reward is when you realize that you have a whole group of wonderful people who see your vision and want to experience it first hand.
Time to Stretch!
We now need your help to achieve the next stretch goals! Here are some things that you can do to help enhance the game for everyone!
-
Participate in the Regency Selfie Challenge: On Instagram, post a picture of yourself in Regency attire, and tag @punktuationgames & #improprietygame. That's it! Perhaps share a little bit about what you are looking forward to most in the caption. :) We are looking for 20 more pictures!
-
Participate in the Quote Challenge: From the first day of design, the Universal Truth quote on the inside of the box was our guiding force. It's time to break out the voice actor within you all! Post a video on Instagram reading the signature quote below, and bonus points for a posh accent befitting a Regency film, and be sure to tag us @punktuationgames.
-
Tell everyone. Tell absolutely everyone you know who enjoys Jane Austen, Bridgerton, Austenland, romance novels, light social board games, and the Regency era about Impropriety. Please spread the word on Instagram, Facebook, over a cup of tea, or via a good-old-fashioned phone call (or perhaps even a letter?). We would love to be your hottest gossip of the season!
Thank you!
We attribute our greatest successes to our wonderful community who has been so supportive since the beginning, and there is such power in word-of-mouth. Thank you sincerely for being with us on this journey. Without players, a game is merely cardboard, paper, wood, and words. It is you who will bring it to life.
