Once the campaign ends Aug 31st, we will immediately go into production with our manufacturer, based in China. We were told to anticipate 3-4 months to have the entire order printed and shipped. So, assuming no issues, you should expect to receive your bundle by the End of 2025!

If by the end of our campaign we don't reach our goal, that does not necessarily mean that our campaign failed. It may mean that we will just have to do a smaller print run.

This is the advantage that our campaign has by not being on the platform of another company to control the "fate" of our game.

And if (God forbid!), once the campaign ends we determine that what we raised is not enough to do a feasible order quantity, then you will receive a refund on your order no later than 21 days after the campaign end date.

Otherwise, your order is considered locked in and ready to go!

Our Starter Deck is like an artist's "single." It can be a hit and have tons of replay value. But it's just 1 song, limited in its experience and depth. After a while, you can get tired of it.

Our Booster Box, on the other hand, is like an artist's "album." Much more depth, story, and connections between a larger assortment of cards. This builds off the "single" by giving you the ability to make your own decks (think of them like "playlists") and showcase your card curation skills!

Okay, now in literal terms:

• Starter Decks: 5 different types, same cards in each box, made to be a "primer" for how to play Five Mics: The Hip-Hop Trading Card Game.
• Booster Box: 1 type, 24 packs per box (each pack has 10 randomized cards), each box has a different set of cards, allowing for more unique finds, collection-building, and customization of your Five Mics gameplay experience.

Not without your support! If you don't grab your booster box bundle BEFORE the campaign ends, then we can't ensure its success and product availability AFTER the campaign ends.

So don't be on the fence: let's make this happen TOGETHER!

Why not?! This is HIP-HOP! We're cut from the same cloth as:

• Master P turning down a $1M deal with Interscope to go start No Limit Records with a 80/20 split with Priority Records (never seen before for a hip-hop label in his time)
• Jay-Z starting Roc-A-Fella Records and dropping his debut album Reasonable Doubt and cracking the Billboard 200 independently.
• Nipsey Hussle starting the "Proud2Pay" movement around his $100 mixtape as well as building The Marathon Clothing store, which vertically integrated his fashion, music, and love for advanced tech in an innovative way.

And so many other hip-hop artists before us that have inspired us to get after it and use our independence as our superpower.

Five Mics is being built from the ground up. With the community, for the community. We really hitting the pavement. We really selling these packs out the trunk! If this ain't hip-hop, we don't know what is!
