Mutineer: The Piratical Deduction Game

The Timeline & Delays
14 days ago – Fri, Oct 16, 2026 at 12:22:42 PM

Ahoy, Mutineers! It has been a minute!

Sadly, the title is true. We are delaying the fulfillment date for Mutineer. It's been a lot more work early on than we expected going into this. Nothing that will halt the game from being finished or slim down its content, but a lot of the back end and logistics has been more complicated and time consuming then we anticipated. So it'll take a little more time to fulfill what we set out to make. It's our first time doing a crowdfunding project, so our lack of experience got the better of us when we imagined and proposed our timeline. This, as well as Sander's PC just now getting fixed after a long back and forth, alongside us trying to figure out how to best go about the extra content being made because of the monumental support Mutineer has received from you all.

So, we're moving the proposed fulfillment date to the start of spring 2027. This gives us additional time to finish the game, fulfill our promises, and avoid shipping during a busy holiday period. We are sorry for the disappointing news, but we are looking forward to continuing this journey with all of you.

To more exciting news! Thank you all for going through the Backerkit survey we sent out. This was especially important for our pioneers, so we know the upgrades and the preferred method of contact as we are moving into making the Pioneer cards.
As of right now, we've already have reached out to the first Pioneers. We'll be focusing on non-role pioneers (the pirates) first, in chronological order of backing, with the idea being that it gives role pioneers more options when we get around to their cards as we work on new roles in the meanwhile. The Roli-Alt Pioneers will also be reached out to in chronological order, but as a separate order from the rest with a slower pace.

If you haven't received the Backerkit email, please reach out to us so we can send you a new link to the survey! You still got plenty of time, as the shipping address, shipping charges, and tax will be a lot closer to the new fulfillment time. If you are a Pioneer and you haven't received the survey, please reach out to us when you are able to so we are ready to start on your card when the time comes!

Beyond that, you can expect the community card goal polls to start soon as well, more details on how the polling will work will be shared soon along with the first poll. Playtesting and online games trying new role concepts and reworks will happen soon over in our Discord server Mutineer's Hideout, so keep an eye out!

And of course, thank you all again for the amazing support and your patience.
If there's any questions feel free to reach out to us here.

Backerkit Soon & Timeline Update!
about 2 months ago – Wed, Sep 09, 2026 at 11:37:05 AM

Ahoy, Mutineers!

We come bearing good news! We've moved Mutineer over to Backerkit to let people add to their pledges while we continue to work on Mutineer. This also means that the add-ons, and Pioneer Plus+ Options will be avaiable there once the Backerkit goes live.

The Backerkit for Mutineer is currently under review, and should go live in the coming days. You'll get access to the Backerkit which will show your exact pledge and details as they were in Kickstarter through your attached email. (We'll let everyone know over our Discord, the Mutineer's Hideout, when you can expect this email) A few of you, at random, might receive the invitation to the Backerkit early over email, as part of their approval process to make sure it all works correctly.
Thank you for your patience while we figured this all out, and you'll hear from us soon with the exact time and date as to when it'll become avaiable, once the Backerkit is approved.

Beyond that, regarding our timeline, we're still aiming to get Mutineer to you all by the end of November, we've had some setbacks not only in needing to set up the Backerkit, but also with some serious tech-issues regarding Sander's PC being under repair for nearly a month now. As you can imagine, it creates some uncertainty on our end as to whether we'll be able to get Mutineer out to everyone by the end of November. We're sticking with our goal for now, and will notify everyone should our timeline change.

Thank you all for your patience, and we'll be back with the Backerkit details when we get them!

Late Add-On Debacle & Pioneer Plus
3 months ago – Wed, Aug 12, 2026 at 01:42:09 PM

Ahoy, Mutineers. 

We are so, so sorry for all the confusion caused as we tried to figure out the issues on our end regarding not only the Pioneer Plus add-ons, but all add-ons, including extra copies and playmats. 

We’ve discovered altering your pledge after completion is, in fact, not possible through Kickstarter in the way we thought. This has forced us to delay their availability while we set up a suitable alternative in the coming days. We will keep you all posted on how things progress, but please understand this may take some time. When we have it sorted, we will make sure that there is a period that continues to add to the Stretch Goals as promised. 

For the Pioneer Plus Upgrades, we will give heads-up in advance like before, and double triple ... nay, quadruple check that everything works as expected! 

Until then, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused, and crashing the hype train.

• Sander & Jasmijn

Kickstarter completion, Late Pledges & Pioneer Info:
3 months ago – Tue, Aug 11, 2026 at 12:05:40 PM

Ahoy, Mutineers!

Last Saturday we officially wrapped up Mutineer’s immensely successful Kickstarter with a small celebratory livestream where we showed some behind the scenes and answered questions regarding Mutineer itself, and our process behind it all. Thanks to everyone who popped in with questions and joined us to celebrate!

As for the Kickstarter itself, we’ll be keeping Late Pledges open for a while, so it’s not yet too late for any who haven’t picked up the game quite yet, or want to change their pledge. With that said, we’ll keep the Stretch Goals open for another two weeks. So until the 22nd of August, all further contributions made will still contribute to unlocking the existing goals! The next Stretch Goal on the list is a Role Database, and we’re already over halfway there.

For our Pioneers, we’ll be sending out a message to get access to the Pioneer add-ons through Kickstarter tomorrow at 21.00 CEST. The two optional upgrades being the Role Card Upgrade (8 total) and the Roli Alt-Art Upgrade (4 total) for those who wish to customize their Pioneer further. And yes, before you ask, they CAN be combined to create a Role Card drawn by SanderRoli!

Tabletop Simulator Version Now Live!
3 months ago – Tue, Jul 28, 2026 at 07:09:49 AM

Ahoy, Mutineers!

We’re happy to announce that the Tabletop Simulator version of Mutineer is now available over on the Steam Workshop! 
The custom table comes complete with coded buttons to leave seats, swap between Day and Night, rules, and Game Master tools to make the experience as smooth as can be online. The only thing you’ll need beyond Tabletop Sim is a voice call app on the side to simulate different spaces for conversations.

For those unfamiliar with Tabletop Simulator, it’s pretty much what it says on the box—  A simulated digital table to play boardgames on! 
Not only did we upload Mutineer, we also uploaded Mutiny onto TTS for those who want to check out the original version from 2025, which does offer some unique gameplay! Enjoy!
We’ll be updating the TTS version of Mutineer in the future, but for now, you can download it for free to take a look, or maybe even schedule a round of Mutineer online!

On top of that, we’ve hit a couple more Stretch Goals in the past days; We’ve unlocked a second Kickstarter Exclusive card (3300€), blank cards for the Pirate Pack (3400€), and the Background upgrade (3600€) for the cards in the base game! 
AND we’ve reached our first Community Goal, so expect polls to go out soon as we start figuring out what kind of card you all would like to add. Make sure to keep sharing our socials, as there are still two more Community Goals to unlock for extra cards!
