– Tue, Jul 30, 2024 at 01:11:28 PM
Galen's Games is headed to GenCon! I'll be at Booth 2939 sharing with friends: AEGIS: Combining Robots. I'll have the game, expansion, acrylic upgrade packs, stickers and....
Gun-Head Promo Cards!
These foil cards provide a brand new powers set for fan-favprite Gunhead and will be free with a purchase, or $5 on their own. These will be available for purchase outside of conventions in the near future.
I'll be at the booth all day Thursday and Sunday and away running events for large portions of the day on Friday and Saturday. Stop by and say hello! I'm more than happy to sign games too!
You can now purchase Super Snipers and the accessories directly from my webpage. Sales are limited to the US at this time, but I will have an international solution soon!
Super Snipers gets the Dice Tower Seal of Approval!
Tom Vasel gave Super Snipers a great review and a score of 7.5/10. As an indy designer, the most gratifying part was him saying that the game stands out among releases this year as trying something new and doing something different.
Have you reviewed Super Snipers yet??
I'm only a couple reviews away from having the score displayed on BGG. If you've played and have the time, your honest review is very helpful to me.
We did it!

Fulfillment Complete:
At this point all games have shipped and should have arrived. If you don't have your game and you don't have a tracking number, please reach out to me at [email protected] and we will get you sorted!
Local Pick-up and Release Party:
For anyone nearby or willing to make the trip, I will be celebrating the release of Super Snipers on Sunday, July 14th from 6-9pm at Play the Game Read the Story (Clinton Street Location). Join us for games, refreshments, and fun!
Issues with your order?
I've gotten a lot of very positive feedback on the production quality of the game. I have to say that Gameland worked with us to make one amazing product that I am super happy with! That said, there have been a few issues with missing or damaged components (very few). If you have any issues or questions about your game, please reach out to me at [email protected].
Rulebook Errata and FAQ's:
Some sharp-eyed backers have noted that on page 19, the 2nd Solo Mode is incorrectly labeled as "Contract Mode". It should be titled "Hostage Rescue".
I also got a couple of questions about Clear Tokens (page 7). Please note that these can be used to clear any Focus from YOUR Locate or Target Grids, not your opponent's (This is not clear from the rulebook, apologies). Also, Clear Tokens can be used anytime on your turn IN ADDITION to placing your Active Focus. This is in the rulebook, but seemed to be something folks missed/ misunderstood.
There was also some confusion around Surveillance and whether setting up for the Target Phase (page 10) is part of the Locate or Target Phase. To clarify: Once you've located your opponent, you are officially in the Target Phase. That means that Surveillance does activate Bonuses, and that Bonuses can be used while placing Surveillance. Additionally, any powers that state "During your Target Phase" can be used while placing Surveillance.
There are some additional questions and answers on the BGG page that are worth checking out and I will be posting a list of FAQ's there.
If you have questions about Character Powers, they are probably answered here. Even if you don't, you may enjoy the backstories and strategy tips!
If you have additional questions, myself or my awesome Discord community will be happy to answer them quickly. Posting to BGG is better if you can wait, as everyone gets the benefit of your answer.
Organizing the Box:
I didn't include instructions on organizing the box. I put together a very quick video to help you out:
Have you played yet?
The best part of this whole experience has been seeing your personal and public posts of getting the game to the table and loving it! I've seen pics of Super Snipers set up and played on tables around the world! It's truly the culmination of a dream for me. Thank you!
If you've had the opportunity to play I would really appreciate you taking a minute to leave your rating and comments on the BGG Page.
Heading to Gen Con? Come say hello at booth #2939! I will have a Promo Card for you! Fan favorite, GunHead is getting foil cards with alternate Basic and Adrenaline powers!
I'll also have these at Pax Unplugged and eventually available at my online store (still setting up).
Thank You!
Not sure if there will be another update from here. I just want to say THANK YOU all for helping me make this game and my company a reality! I will have more killer 2-player games to come. I would love to do additional Super Snipers content and/or expand on the core system I've created here. Time (and how the game does from here) will tell.
Galen.

Fire!
Let the fulfillment begin!
All orders outside of the US and Canada will start dispatching this week. US and Canadian orders will be fulfilled this month. Please keep an eye out for your confirmation emails with tracking information in the coming days. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any issues with your orders: [email protected].
Are you ready to play?
My sincerest hope is that you will get the game and get it to your table quickly. I've had a lot of help, and spent a lot of time (a lot of time!) on the rulebook in the hopes of making it as easy to learn from as possible. That said, if you have any issues, or prefer to learn in other ways, I have some resources for you!
You can find a host of resources including how-to-play-videos, character FAQ's and strategies, and rules variants either at galensgames.com or at the Super Snipers BGG page!
I also put together a video where I teach the game just like I have hundreds of times at conventions and online. The video includes set-up and covers everything you need to know for the 2-player game:
Lastly, I am more than happy to find time to teach the game on TTS! Come to the Discord and ask to set up a game!
Show us your Kills!
Please post your games arriving and on the table with the #supersnipers tag. Share at our FB group. And once you've had a chance to play, please rate and comment about the game on BGG. Every bit of exposure helps as the game moves into the larger market.
What's next for Super Snipers?
I will soon be announcing a release party at Play the Game Read the Story in Syracuse, NY. It will be in July, I just need to confirm the exact date. There will be copies of Super Snipers to play, door prizes, and special offers. If you missed backing, or just want another copy, they will be available there!
There will be a number of reviews of the final copy coming in the weeks following fulfillment.
I'll be setting up my online shop as well as pushing the game with distributors and retailers. It will also eventually be available on Amazon.
I'm partnering with AEGIS: Combining Robots (aka: Zephyr Workshop) and splitting a booth at Gencon where I will be selling Super Snipers and accessories. Please stop by and say hello at Booth 2939!
I will be running several learn-to-play events as well as a tournament. For the tournament, the prizes will include an acrylic standee set of all the Snipers! This is not something that is otherwise available to purchase.
I have a couple of spaces left for teaches and currently no one signed up for the tournament. Jump in!
What's next for Galen's Games?
My next project is slated to hit Kickstarter in October. It is a series of 4 Mint Tin games for 1-2 players that can be learned in 5 minutes and played in 20.
The games will be available at a discounted price of $12 each or as a set for only $40. I'm really excited about this one and hope you'll sign up to stay notified!
You can also keep up with what I'm doing by signing up for the Galen's Games Newsletter. Or following me at my Facebook or Instagram Pages (X/ Twitter I barely use and I'll try to understand Tik-Tok one of these days).
That's all for now. I can't wait to see the games start arriving! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me make this happen!
