No No Puppy! Is LIVE!!! 🐶

Hi Lunar Innovators!
THE PUPPIES HAVE ESCAPED!!!
Our newest Kickstarter, No No Puppy!, is now live!
This one is a very different kind of Dead Alive Games game: quick, loud, chaotic, and built for suspicious stares instead of lunar resource management. But puppy chaos has its own kind of resource management: figuring out when to bluff, when to call, and when to let someone else make the mistake.
Here’s how it starts:
Play a card face down.
Make a bold claim.
Try to look innocent.
Then someone shouts:
“NO NO PUPPY!”
Catch a bluff, and you score. Call the truth, and they score instead. Let a bluff slip past everyone, and that sneaky puppy gets away with it.
It plays in 10–15 minutes with 2–7 players and is full of suspicious stares, terrible poker faces, bold accusations, traps, and lots of laughter.
Thank you again for supporting Lunar Rush: Innovations. We cannot wait to get it into your hands—and to bring a little puppy chaos to your game nights in the meantime.

Hi Lunar Innovators!
MANUFACTURING IS DONE!!!
After a small supplier-related delay, Lunar Rush: Innovations is officially finished and getting packed onto pallets right now. Seeing the games physically ready to go is always a huge moment for us!
We’re hoping everything will ship out in the next few weeks for its approximately two-month journey to the U.S. Rest of World fulfillment, excluding Australia/New Zealand, should begin in about a month.
For our AU/NZ backers: we’re hoping the shipment will head to Let’s Play Games in roughly 1–2 months, and fulfillment will begin there once it arrives.
There is still a little logistics road ahead, but we are very excited to be at this stage. We’ll keep you posted here as shipments start moving!
Come See Skippy at Gen Con!
Lunar Rush designer Steven “Skippy” Brown will be joining us at Booth 2766—the same spot as last year—for signings, meet-and-greets, and plenty of Lunar Rush talk.
We’ll also have demo events running 12 hours a day in Exhibit Hall B. Come say hi, play some games, and see what we have coming next!
Our next Kickstarter, No No Puppy!, launches Tuesday, July 7! It’s a fast, family-friendly bluffing game of adorable puppies, outrageous lies, suspicious stares, and chaotic callouts.
It’s a fast, family-friendly bluffing card game of adorable puppies, outrageous lies, and chaotic callouts. Play a card face down, make a bold claim, and try to keep a straight face. Then someone might shout “No No Puppy!” to expose your lie—or fall straight into your trap.
It’s quick to learn, fast to play, and full of suspicious stares, terrible poker faces, ridiculous accusations, and plenty of laughs.
Thanks again for being part of the Lunar Rush crew!

Hi Lunar Executives!
Lunar Rush: Innovations Manufacturing Has Started
It’s been a little while since the Lunar Rush: Innovations campaign wrapped on March 12, and we wanted to share a quick production update.
Good news — manufacturing has officially started!
Our current estimated completion date is mid-June. If all goes well—and by that we mean no containers falling into the ocean and no customs disasters—we hope to have the games in the US and begin fulfillment in August.
As always, we’ll keep everyone updated as production and freight move forward.
Thank you again for helping bring Lunar Rush: Innovations to life. We’re excited to get the expansion into your hands.
Come See Us at KublaCon
Dead Alive Games will be at KublaCon over Memorial Day weekend, Friday, May 22 through Monday, May 25.
We’ll have a booth and demo table in the vendor hall from Friday afternoon through Monday at 1 PM.
We may also have Lunar Rush: Innovations production samples available for people to check out and play, depending on timing.
Come meet us, say hi, and play some games!
No No Puppy! is Coming
We also wanted to give you a quick sneak peek at what’s next.
No No Puppy!, a hilarious bluffing card game of adorable puppies and outrageous lies, is getting ready for Kickstarter.
Play cards face down, declare your number, and try to get away with it—before someone calls “No No Puppy!” and falls right into your trap.
We’re planning to launch in late May / early June, and following the page is the best way to get notified when it goes live.
