What Is Kickstarter? A Simple Guide to Backing Shuffleboard X

Posted by Skeeter on 24th Sep 2025

Shuffleboard X is here, and we’re launching it on Kickstarter!

If you’ve never used Kickstarter before, you might be wondering: What is it? How does it work? And why should I back Shuffleboard X on Kickstarter instead of just waiting until it’s available on the Skee-Ball website?

We have the answers. This guide will walk you through the basics so you feel confident supporting Shuffleboard X and joining us on this exciting launch.

What Is Kickstarter?

Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform. Think of it as a place where creators share their ideas for new products, games, and inventions, and then people like YOU can help bring them to life!

When you back a project, you aren’t just buying something off a shelf. You are supporting the creation of something brand new. In return, you get rewards, like being one of the first to receive Shuffleboard X at an early bird price, saving $300!

How Does It Work?

Here’s how the process looks in simple terms:

  • Creators set a goal: Skee-Ball, as the Creator, decides how much funding is needed to bring Shuffleboard X into production.
  • Backers pledge support: If you decide you want to be one of the first to receive Shuffleboard X, you can secure the Early Bird pledge at just $599 once the campaign goes live.
  • Funding is all-or-nothing: If our campaign hits its goal, production begins and backers like you get Shuffleboard X. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.

This model makes Kickstarter low risk for backers and ensures projects only move forward if there’s enough support.

Why Back Shuffleboard X on Kickstarter?

Backing on Kickstarter gives you perks you won’t get later. Here’s why it’s worth jumping in early:

  • Early Bird Pledge Pricing: Backers can lock in an Early Bird pledge at just $599 – a $300 savings!
  • Early Access: You will be among the very first people to own Shuffleboard X.
  • Direct Impact: Your pledge directly helps us bring the game to life, which means you’re part of the Skee-Ball Home Arcade Game journey.

Backing Shuffleboard X is not just about buying a game. It’s about joining the launch with us from day one!

How to Back the Project

Getting started on Kickstarter is quick and simple:

  1. Click the link to our Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/shuffleboardxsbha/shuffleboard-x-by-skee-ball-home-arcade
  2. Once live, choose to “Back this project” (right now, you can choose to “Notify me on launch” so you don’t miss when the campaign goes live!)
  3. Create a free Kickstarter account if you do not already have one.
  4. Confirm you’re backing the project.

That’s it! You won’t be charged right away. Payment only goes through if the campaign meets its goal.

What Happens After You Back?

Here’s what to expect once you pledge support:

  • The campaign runs within a specific timeframe: During this time, we rally backers to reach our funding goal.
  • If funded, production begins: Shuffleboard X moves into manufacturing.
  • Regular updates: We’ll keep you in the loop with regular updates so you always know the status of production and shipping timelines.
  • Delivery: Once complete, your Shuffleboard X is packed up and shipped to your home.

You’ll learn that backing on Kickstarter isn’t just a transaction; it is an experience. You get to watch the project grow from launch to delivery!
