Latest Updates from Our Project:

OCW Proof Photos!
almost 3 years ago – Sat, Jul 03, 2021 at 05:26:28 PM

I just sent an update last week but DHL delivered a proof today and I'm excited to show you!

It's a bit hard to see in the picture, but the box textured.
Learning One Card Wonder is as simple as 1 2 3! The box is sturdy and has nice, sharp corners.
The open box - the rulebook is on the bottom and face-down. It should be face-up, and probably on top.
The 60 resource cubes fit in the bag with lots of room to spare.
The coins are too dark - we'll need to fix that.
The 18 wonder cards - they're gorgeous!
And the two KS exclusives. Sorry the pic is a bit blurry.
The general supply board holds resource cubes in their respective slots.
Twelve unique player boards
The rulebook - eight pages saddle-stitched.
The 10 leader tiles. There was extra space on the punchboard so there is space for two blank leaders.

Brief Production Update

There's not a lot of news - One Card Wonder is churning away toward completion. At this point there are no delays and we're waiting for proofs.

I'll create another update to share pictures of the proof when it arrives. To help tide you over, here are some shots of the obelisks.

Production - Late Pledge Now Available - Pledge Manager Opening
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Jun 02, 2021 at 03:28:24 PM

When One Card Wonder funded, I posted that production for non-printable components would get underway. I'm now here to announce that all of the art for printed components has been submitted and is ready to begin. 

This update is open to the public, which means some of you reading this missed the Kickstarter while it was active. No problem, click the late pledge button above to be instantly transported to our Backerkit store, where you can make a late pledge!

The pledge manager will open very shortly. In fact, 5% of you will be part of a smoke test that will begin later today. 

You'll find some of our previous titles in the pledge manager store. Backers in the US can order these at no additional shipping cost! So if you're in the US, feel free to load up your cart and get a warm feeling in your heart knowing you are helping to free up a little space in our warehouse! 

Thank you all for a wonderful campaign!

Dear backers, 


We cannot thank you all enough for such  a wonderful campaign for One Card Wonder! Funded on Day 1, over 800 backers, and a sliver from 300% funded as we end the campaign is just fantastic.

The $16K Great Library stretch goal WILL be included as a Kickstarter exclusive, even though we ended just a few hundred dollars short! 

While you are awaiting your pledge, here is an image of One Card Wonder to use on your computer screen to commemorate the fond memories of this great campaign. We have loved having you all with us and hope you will follow APE Games on Kickstarter to be notified of future campaigns we create for you!

Keep the wonder close at hand!

Since we Funded on Day 1 thanks to you all, we have been able to jump start production of One Card Wonder! That means that we are delighted to share with you that production has begun for all non-printed parts such as the wooden cubes and plastic obelisks. Since player colors are not necessary in the wonder building board game, we have chosen a lovely ivory color for your obelisks to mark your support buildings as you build them.


As you know, we will keep you updated every step of the way as we create this wondrous game for you! If you have any questions at all about the process, our progress, or just want to tell us how excited you are to get One Card Wonder delivered to you then please contact us. We love hearing from you too.


Thank you for being wonderful!

The sands of time are close to an end - Last 48 Hours!
almost 3 years ago – Mon, May 10, 2021 at 08:26:57 PM

Hello, lovely backers,


It’s the weekend. Time to enjoy some fun with family and friends… and perhaps tell some folks about the incredible campaign that is One Card Wonder! We are in the last 48 hours of this Kickstarter and really want to go for that awesome final push. If you would be so kind as to share One Card Wonder far and wide, we would be ever so grateful.

If you happen to be playing some online boardgames then remember you can enjoy some One Card Wonder on Tabletopia too! Scratch that wonder building itch today.

If you don’t have a group to play with, there is also the Solo variant by backer, Pat, to check out: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2646108/solo We would love to know your thoughts if you give it a play! And thank you, Pat, for taking the time to create this.


Lastly, we have something to share with you from our friends at Grand Gamers Guild. Also on Kickstarter now, Aldabas: Doors of Cartagena is an interactive card game where you fill your block with influential citizens. This crunchy tableau-building game was co-designed by our own Nat Levan, one of the designers of One Card Wonder. Now you can visit the vibrant city of Cartagena with family and friends while competing to recruit the most noteworthy citizens and fill your coffers. Check out Aldabas: Doors of Cartagena, which plays 1-4 in about 30 minutes! Check it out…


We love having such great input from our backers! We’re grateful for your support of this clever wonder building game for the entire family and we can’t wait to get it to your gaming table. Thank you for sharing the wonder with us and with others!


Have  a wonderful weekend,
