Smack Talk Showdown is the party game where smack talking your opponents is not only encouraged, it's necessary! The game is all about the art of the wrestling promo. Two players assume the guise of professional wrestlers and go head-to-head for verbal supremacy while a third player dictates the action as a Producer. Everyone not competing in the current turn (which we call a Segment) is the Audience and gets to choose the victor of the round!

Smack Talkers!
We know most of you are hyped (hi Mojo Rawley) for the biggest wrestling weekend of the year. We are excited ourselves, and you can follow our thoughts on the events at our twitter account HERE. We will be live tweeting on Sunday night, so join in the conversation.
To celebrate, we have a special Mania tier for two days only! April 1 and 2nd, back at the Mania tier and get TWO copies of the game for $40. That's a $10 savings. If anyone donated at a lower level and wants to take advantage of this deal, you can "Manage your pledge" on our campaign page.
If you happen to be in the New England area, Denis is at CT Gamercon at the Mohegan Sun this weekend. Come by, say hi, and play the game! Denis will also be at the After-Party for CT Gamercon Sunday night at Comix club at the Mohegan Sun, where we will be watching this year's Wrestlemania. Click HERE for more details.
Finally, we are pleased to announce we have officially passed 75% of our funding goal. Thanks to everyone who has shared our campaign on social media for spreading the word. Let's keep the momentum rolling as we only have ONE WEEK left until the campaign ends.

Denis joined the Top 5 of Death podcast this week for a very special bonus episode, which you can listen to HERE. The topic was Top 5 Promos (good or bad) of all time, and there were some VERY interesting choices.
Here's a sneak preview of one of Denis' choices, the infamous Scott Steiner math lesson:
Hope to see you all tonight!

Good Day Smack Talkers!
We continue the Road to the Championship as we have officially crossed $10,000 and 200 backers! We are over 70% of the way to our goal, so that means STRETCH GOALS! They will be announced on Thursday during our first livestream on Kickstarter Live. We will answer any and all questions you have - make sure to sign up for the stream HERE.
Last week, Denis cut an epic promo on one of Smack Talk Showdown's backers, Tony. Tony stepped up and responded with a devastating promo of his own. Check it out:
I think that VHS game looks great. Anyone have a time machine?
Last Friday Denis appeared on the Standing Streamer on Twitch. A bit of gaming talk, but a WHOLE lot of wrestling talk. Video of the interview is below (NSFW):
That's it for today's update.

That's right, thanks to our 187 backers, we are now officially 50% FUNDED!
We are halfway to the end of this campaign, and now we are over 50% toward our goal. Exciting times here at Double Turn HQ, which is really just an IKEA couch in a small apartment.
Road To The Championship
As we continue down the Road to the Championship, keep your eye on smacktalkshowdown.com. Next weekend is the biggest of the year for wrestling fans, and Smack Talk Showdown is joining the celebration. We have some very exciting reveals coming soon, so stay tuned!
Denis had the pleasure of recording a special episode of the Top 5 of Death podcast. After playing a quick round of Smack Talk Showdown, the team discussed their Top 5 Memorable Wrestling Promos. Certainly worth a listen when it is released early next week.
Until next time, keep spreading the Smack!
