Congratulations Cows In My Pants Herd

We are so excited for our first game launched and funded on Kickstarter!

Here at Paodle Games we have learned more about Kickstarter, marketing and hard work than we thought was possible in a short time.

We are very excited to get our game to you and on your table, along with all the extra items you helped us fund.

Here is what needs to happen before our game makes it from the barn to your table:

  • Kickstarter will collect funds from backers and then send those along to Paodle Games.  This process takes approximately two weeks.  
  • During this time we will open our pre-order store so we can continue to offer our game to those outside of our pasture.
  • A survey will be sent out to you as Kickstarter wraps up their portion.  We will be using Backer Kit and they will help us keep track of your orders, any add on items you wish to add to your purchase and make sure we get your items sent to the right place.  If you have special items related to our Little Artist Calf we will use email and Backer Kit to finalize items.
  • Our games will be sent to printing and other items will be ordered.  
  • Our hope and timeline suggest that we will be able to mail you reward items to you early August.  During the time between sending it to the printers and mailing it out we will send you a few updates about how it is going and when to expect your delivery.
  • Before delivery you will be given one more chance to change your mailing address.  It is important that you watch for this information if you have any changes.

We are also very excited to partner with a special toy store Kazoodles Toys and a non-profit organization supporting Foster Kids called Office Moms and Dads to create game boxes for 27 OMD locations in WA and OR.  You can follow along and learn more in the Board Game Drive Event on Facebook.  If you are a publisher or game designer we would love to connect with you via email at [email protected].

Where is Paodle Games headed next?

Back to the game table, designing and playing!  We have multiple designers on our team as well as partnerships we may form over time.  We will keep you up to date with our Paodle Games Newsletter and on social media.

One of our projects that is close to completion, after a bit more of playtesting and hopefully some success in game competitions is Mango Mango Hawaiian Farmers Market Game.  You can't order it yet, but if you want to follow along you can join designer Kathi Sjostrom and illustrator Laura Erwin in the Mango Mango Board Game Group.


We at Paodle Games thank you for joining us!  Know that our game table is now your own and we look forward to partnering and sharing our game journey with you far into the future.

With love & gratitude,

Kathi & Seth Sjostrom and Cheryl & Peter Emerson

Shake It Up is in the deck and she will do just that as a Kickstarter Exclusive! What type of milkshake do you want?

We have less than 12 hours to go and appreciate all the sharing on social media we are seeing! Our backers are amazing. (We have our special Paodle Play testing group on Facebook if you want to be in on early refinement and revision of our upcoming games.)

Goals for today? Let’s see if we can hit $6000 and add a special postcard to every KS promo pack!

For now we are off to find a few lost cows, prepare for a delicious celebration this evening, feed a few stray cow kittens and prepare for the back end of this journey on Kickstarter.

Be well herd!!!

It's A Royal Proclamation May 28th

“It’s Cool to Me” by Charlie Mills went live today. I met this young man while preparing for our Kickstarter and was so impressed by his pursuit of publishing his first book that he wrote when he was 16. Check it out if you have children! 

Super Impressed with the creators of Upkeep! They are closing in on their funding goal and have a lot of fun voting and rewards we want to incorporate into our future projects. Head over to their campaign at 

No pressure, but if you end up supporting them (even for $1) let us know and you will receive a surprise sticker or button from us in the box. Also give them a shout out in their comments to encourage them and that our Cow hands sent you!

A Super Hero Cow has Joined our Ranks
almost 4 years ago – Wed, May 27, 2020 at 09:11:13 AM

We are so close to stretch goals and would love to see us wrap our campaign up with resounding cowbells!

Over the next few days we will have daily art featured from our amazing artist of Cows in My Pants, Alyssa Read.  She is hard at work on our Shake It Up Cow that will be added as a Kickstarter Exclusive.  We will also get a sneak peak at some special Royal and Escape the Farm Artwork she is working on.  Tomorrow we will be letting you vote on which cows you would like to see as upcoming stickers so watch for that announcement.

 A special thank you to our most recent Little Artist Calf backer, Everything Board Games.  Our artist finished up their Cow  this evening and we are still awaiting an official title but are calling him the Superbull for now!  We are excited to make him a part of their special game and also spread the love with a special action or wild card for you.  If you are a backer of our campaign at the $10 pledge level and higher and have also backed Everything Board Games $1 or more give us a shout out and we will be sure to add a fabulous Superbull to your reward items!  Should we make him an action card or a wild?  We appreciate how during their campaign they have backed many other campaigns and know that each $1 back means the world to a creator.

Want your own custom cow?  Pledge as a Little Artist Calf and tell us what type of cow you want to see join the herd!
