Overview
Rodeo Judge, the original rodeo card game, was invented by Scott Mendes, the 1997 PRCA World Champion Bull Rider. Two to four players compete head-to-head in turn based competition to win titles and awards. Challenge your Google Plus and Game Center friends, or go solo against Scott directly. Compete against the world's best players to become world champion in an exciting and fast paced card game. This free to play card game is a turn based multiplayer video game loosely based on the game of 21, except that it incorporates rodeo scoring rules totaling 25. Other custom rodeo rules are added for buck-offs, rerides, dismounts, stock and ride hands, cowboy ups, and yes, even rodeo clowns are included in the game rules too. The game contains achievements, tournaments, leader boards, and can be played against two to four friends, or solo online or offline. Real time rodeo sound effects, announcer calls, music, and animations help to simulate the feel of being at a real rodeo.

In the beginning...
Rodeo Judge is a single deck card game invented by rodeo legend, Scott Mendes, the 1997 PRCA World Champion Bull Rider. He created the game in 1991 while he was traveling with some of his rodeo friends to events that year. The idea culminated in Denver when Scott was waiting to compete in bull riding at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo. He came up with the card game rules in a hotel while passing time before the event. The game rules are loosely based on the game of 21 (blackjack), but with rodeo scoring rules totaling 25. His idea lay dormant for 23 years waiting on someone to bring it to life. Christ Games took up the challenge to take his vision to the next level by developing a mobile version of the game.

What is this Kickstarter funding?
This Kickstarter campaign is being created to help raise funds to market and distribute the final version of the game. Christ Games is an indie game developer just getting started in the mobile game arena. They specialize in teaching others how to make games and have little funds to market games themselves except through social media, word of mouth, and low cost, entry level opportunities. Our goal is to get the word out to the masses using more traditional means of marketing than this indie game developer can provide. We need your help to fund this project so the game becomes a success. The development costs are already covered for both Apple and Android. Christ Games donated its time and talent to getting the game developed. We thank them greatly for their service. Now comes the hard part, getting people to know it exists. We need the finesse of a savvy marketing company to help us with the next level in this project. We purposely set our goal dollars low to ensure success in this Kickstarter campaign. The success here will determine what level of purchasing power we will have to hire our marketing dream team. We need funds to cover game distribution costs, various marketing expenses, and other promotional paraphernalia. We want to bring Scott's dream to life beyond just his close rodeo friends, and indie game distribution circle.

Target Goal – Pick a marketing company by December 2015
Most of the funds raised for this project will go to hiring a marketing company, or companies, to help us advertise Rodeo Judge. We have very aggressive timeliness, and would like to achieve this by December 2015. If enough funds are raised, several companies could be picked to diversify our position in the market. Terms like Search Engine Optimization, Cross Promotion, Game Reviews, Media Marketing, Cost Per Install, In-App Purchasing, Affiliate Networking, etc. are all fair game to the end goal to get the word out about Rodeo Judge. Depending upon the technologies the marketing plan requires, it could mean additional programming necessary to include these Software Development Kits and tools into the game. This could delay the final version from being release by several months. We will weigh the options of each plan carefully so we get the most for our money and reduce time to market dates.

Stretch Goal - 1,000,000 downloads on Google Play by end of 2016!!!

We can dream, right? Well actually a million downloads can be made in a few days if you are one of the big boys in the industry. That is because they have aggressive marketing campaigns and lots of money. Being an indie developed game, we ask for your help to get us to our stretch goal. If we make this goal, we will put your name on our wall of founders. We feel you deserve something more than just a pat on the back. You would be part of history; funding a successful start up. We want to publicly recognized you for your support.
