Thanks to everyone who has supported this project, we're excited to share in another successful Kickstarter campaign with our awesome backers. 


While the neoprene Playmat and super shiny Dragon Skull will be available as add-ons in our pledge manager after the campaign, now is your last chance to upgrade to the $40 bundle tier with the Deluxe Version and the Playmat to get in on some sweet savings! There’s still time to help us spread the word by sharing on Twitter, or using this link on your preferred social platform and get as many heads rolling as possible! Let’s Roll!

Variants Update!
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Apr 02, 2021 at 06:35:57 PM

First off- wow! What an incredible ride so far thanks to all of you!

So what DO the deluxe pieces add? When using the Gold Skulls, they are worth 3 points if you cross their line (6 if they’re in the same orientation), compared to the Silver Skulls (2/4) and the Monster Skulls (1/2). 

Additionally, you may turn the Monster Skulls into Poison Skulls, making them worth -2 points if you cross their line (-4 if in the same orientation), to add some real nice challenge and variety to your games. If you’re playing with the Variant Shield, you can roll it out with the rest of the pieces, and you get one flick with each shield—but no bonus flicks are awarded for passing across skull lines. 

Don't forget to hit the Treasure Chest!

If you have the first print run of the game, there are additional rule variants combining some of those components as well, which brings us to the biggest question in the campaign so far—what about the Dragon Skull? Well we’ve heard you loud and clear! The dragon skull will be available as an add-on in the BackerKit! Hooray! 

So shiny. So skull.

We believe the base game is super fun as a stand alone pocket dexterity game, and the deluxe version and bonus components enable a lot of really fun variations to mix up your gameplay, and we encourage coming up with your own as well. I mean there’s a game designer in all of us right? We will be releasing even more official rule variants with the additional components as well! Whether you’re going for the base game or checking out additional components, you really can’t go wrong with Heads Will Roll.

We’ll see you in the comments! Let’s roll!

Manufacturing Update
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Apr 02, 2021 at 06:31:54 PM

Hey everyone! 

Hope you’re enjoying your April Fool’s Day! So we’ve got good news and even better news.  Slight manufacturing mix up— we got the quote from a grain manufacturer, not a game manufacturer, but it’s for the best! Rather than chunky metal pieces (gross no thanks!) now all the pieces are made out of bread! But we need backers to help us choose a new direction for the game. We’re torn between Heads Won't Roll, an inaction dexterity game using bread rolls where you score points based on the fascinating inanimate properties of bread, or Breads Will Fold, a gluten origami game where the bread infuriatingly always crumbles, and points are deducted.

Let us know in the comments!

Thank you everyone for a strong first few days of the campaign!

We had a request from one of our backers (hey William!) for some videos of the Heads Will Roll game pieces being used on a playmat. We're getting that content together for backers to check out, and will have it ready soon. Till then, here's a little teaser video!
