Oh My God! There's An Axe In My Head.

New York — August 9, 2023.

The Game of International Diplomacy is now on eBay, straight from us, folks.

LIMITED STOCK! Only a few cases of this classic Kickstarter game are still available from Aetherco! And there aren’t that many per case! When they’re gone, they’re gone, except for other sellers on eBay, but you knew that! Ours are originally shrink-wrapped and brand new from the box, though, so hurry hurry hurry!

GAME SHIPS

Merry Axmas

A little publisher tells us that some elves have taken a shipment or two away from the printers of the Oh My God! There’s An Axe In My Head game. These elves do what elves do, and that’s distribute games.

Also, we’ve gotten a couple of cases straight from the press. They look mighty fine:

It is very close indeed to Christmas, but every effort is being made to get the now-released game into the hands of all the Kickstarter backers as quickly as possible. Further details should be popping up here, gamecompany3.com, Facebook and Twitter as we pull these various sites together.

Dave Fooden and Chris would like to thank everyone for their long patience and trust in our making this wacky wacky dream an even more absurd and amusing reality.

Merry Axmas!

GENEVA, 1920. The League of Nations convenes for its first session of the General Assembly.

Proud to host this august world body, Switzerland commissions their champion axe-juggling troupe, Les Bella Lieben Jolie De Von Giorno, to entertain the assembled delegates. Unfortunately, halfway through the demonstration, the Troupe goes insane, and begins hurling axes into the audience, splitting head after head.

Calling for calm, the Secretary General orders a recess, only to have his cranium split as well. The remaining Great Powers use the confusion to pass the gavel between themselves, conduct business of interest to them, and generally try to shift the balance of world power… while escaping a bunch of axe-wielding psychopaths.

 



Oh My God! There’s an Axe In My Head is a board game of intrigue and mayhem for 2 to 6 players. Recommended for ages 16 and up, play time is about 60 minutes.

News for August 2011! KICKSTARTER!

Yes, our Kickstarter campaign has begun. In little more than 40 days from now, we expect to turn the wheels of production on this long-awaited game. Dozens, maybe hundreds of people have played Oh My God! There’s An Axe In My Head over the last seven years, and have asked again and again, “Where can I buy it?”

Well, Dave Fooden has put it together at last in a Kickstarter program. Click here and place your pledge–at this writing, we’re off to a great start, and we don’t want any of our longtime fans to miss out!

AND! Kickstarter has featured us on their weekly blog! “New Projects Are An Axe In Our Heads (In A Good Way):

The artwork looks a lot like what would happen if John Kovalic and Winsor McCay made an art baby, which is to say it looks really cool.

Whoa! Now that makes me want to kick back and play half a game of Munchkin while Burne Hogarth cleans half my brushes! I am abashed, and very honored by your words, Cindy A. of Kickstarter project. We will see to that Oh My God! There’s An Axe In My Head will be worthy of those names.
