FAQ: Fib® A Game for Liars and Thieves®
For the most up-to-date information about the status of our project, check our project updates on Kickstarter!

How is this game different from all other games?

Fib is a playful mix of a few different genres of games. There are ridiculous story cards that will make you cackle, but you don’t win by being funny. You win by being sneaky and clever!

Lie, steal, and tell stories out of a combination of prompts and Fibs. Yes, you need to make sh*t up, and that’s the juice of the game! Each round is entirely unique and unlike any combination of cards that came before:

There are over 700,000 possible combinations of story cards (each of which can be modified), and that’s not even including the endless storytelling possibilities when you play Fib cards!

Furthermore, even after you get familiar with the cards, you can say a known story card as your “Fib” and win points against even the most seasoned Fib players. Plus, with the optional expansion pack add-ons, you inject endless variety into your stories. There really is no end to the mischief.

Can I add more games to my order?

Yes! When you’re in the Add-on’s section of Kickstarter, you can increase the quantity of the game. You can increase your order in the Kickstarter pledge manager during the live campaign, and additional copies will also be available in the BackerKit pledge manager at the end of the campaign.

When will I enter my shipping information?

When the product is ready to ship! Since we aim to deliver in a matter of months, we want to make sure that we have your up-to-date delivery address when the product is ready to go out. You will be contacted by our pledge manager, BackerKit, to provide your shipping details. If you are outside of the U.S., you will be asked to pay your unique shipping rate and any applicable VAT/tax. Then the game will be on its way!

When will I get my copy?

We are working hard to make sure that all games are delivered this summer, 2024.

We started with a more ambitious delivery estimate, but we have just received our inventory in late June and are shipping in mid-July after collecting surveys with up-to-date shipping information and processing shipping fees from international backers.

We expect backers to start receiving their games in late-July, early-August, 2024.

How do I get the expansion packs?

We achieved all of our stretch goals, which means that we unlocked all three expansion packs! These expansions are available as add-ons in the pledge manager and BackerKit store.

How big is the box?

The box is roughly 9”x4”x1.25”, a little smaller than your average hardcover book.

How can I be sure this is actually a good game?

Fib has been in development for four years and has been play-tested hundreds of times. The resounding verdict is that Fib is an awesome party card game and belongs in people’s hands.

We have iterated and iterated, fine tuning the game to make it more accessible, more dynamic, and more ergonomic.

Additionally, we are partnered with LongPack, an accomplished game manufacturer, who is taking great care that the final product will hold up for years of play!

How many players do you recommend playing?

While the box says 2 - 20+, we think a game of 4-8 players is the sweet spot. This size feels like a group without becoming unruly, and players don’t have to wait too long for their turn as Storyteller.

That said, the game is a great date-night idea because, unlike most party games, it does play very well with just two people!

If you get a giant group together, people will have to wait a while before it’s their turn as Storyteller, and the game could take longer, so we recommend that large groups play to 7 points (instead of 11 points) to keep the game short and sweet.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
