What's the difference between Hedgehog and People editions?
Park Life Hedgehog = Stream-lined Family version. Complexity 1.5/5 The Hedgehog edition was designed for families and players new to trick taking games, and as a stand alone expansion for People Edition. The deck only has numbers 1-10 and hedgehog art. It is very quick to teach! You play until someone wins 2 rounds, and caterpillars add extra points if you didn’t win a round yet so players can catch up.
Park Life Hedgehog Deluxe = Super Family version. Complexity 2.0/5 This adds high value cards (11,15,20) that are harder to win with, but powerful when you do. It increases the player count to 8, or hand size up to 20! So the rounds get more strategic and exciting than without the deluxe cards. But the added complexity isn’t recommended for the first play, or for players new to trick-taking.
Park Life People = Gamer version 2.5/5 This is my favorite. It is an elegant trick taking game that adds set collecting and tableau building cards. If you’re looking for a great filler game you can always carry with you, this is the best. It is not hard to teach, but it’s more complicated than the stream-lined hedgehog version. This is also the best deck for SOLO and CO-OP, as long as you download the deluxe rulebook.
Park Life People Deluxe = Super Gamer version 3.0/5 This is for players already deep into Park Life. It adds powerful set collecting and wild cards, but they have a high cost. If you can’t maximize their value, the high cost will make you lose. The deluxe game is balanced for experienced players making mindful choices.
Park Life Storm = Chaos and Control 3.5/5 The new expansion adds cards and rules to boost Hedgehog and/or People editions. It adds layers to the game that maximized the hand management part of the game, since there are more considerations when playing cards. This is a great add-on for Hedgehog edition because it makes the game more complex without adding much complications. This is also a great add-on for People edition to give even more paths to victory.
If you combine Hedgehog, People, and Storm, you will have a huge deck for 1-8 players. Games are balanced at large player counts by letting multiple players win each trick. I recommend learning each game separately before shuffling everything together, but once you got it, it’s one of the best large player count strategy card games you can find!

Any Exclusives or Limited Content?
I don’t like FOMO and exclusive stuff. But…
🦔The wooden hedgehog bus token in the Storm Expansion is limited to the first print of 1000 copies.
☂️We unlocked a lot of stretch goals for Park Life in May. The current print run includes all of those. The cards we unlocked will stay in the games, but I’m not planning to include all the extra stickers in the deluxe boxes.
🐱Lucky Cat is limited to supplies on hand. I can’t make more. The license with the artist ran out and the game was published under a different publisher than myself.
🦔The old Hedgehog Plushie Bag is also limited to supplies on hand. I switched factories because the old one was inconsistent in quality, raised their MOQ, and raised their prices.
🦑I’m not sure if I will do a second production of any of the Doom Cat plushies. So I may only produce 100 of each. A lot depends on what happens with import tax for America in the future.

When will the games and plushies ship?
Park Life, including the Storm Expansion, are printed and ready to ship! If you only back the Park Life games or expansion, and you complete the PM quickly, they will start to be sent out in December 2024. Due to the holidays, it will take a few weeks to arrive. If you also back the new hedgehog plushie bag, we’ll ship all the Park Life stuff together when the plushie is done.
We’re waiting to approve the final sample before manufacturing the hedgehog, but if there are any issues it will cause delays. The plushie can be done as soon as January 2025, as late as next November 2025. +++++++++++++ Lucky Cat is ready to ship. It was produced a long time ago, and we have less than 50 copies remaining. The contract with the artist and original publisher are over, so these are the last copies! Doom Cat has not started being produced yet. My goal is to have the Doom Cat game and plushies done before May 2025. But worst case scenario they’ll be done in November 2025 also. +++++++++++++ Note that our first two kickstarters, Lucky Cat and Park Life, were shipped early 6 months and 7 months early (only took 6 and 5 months each)! We’re based in Shanghai, China, so fast production and international logistics are our advantage!

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.
