Project FAQ
You have a few options! You can either start a discussion in the community tab of this project, or you can send us an email over at [email protected].
We have done extensive playtesting on Duat and found very balanced win rates between players of equal skill levels. Duat is a game where any questionable choices can be swiftly punished by a keen eyed opponent, so no player (first or second) is ever truly safe. Also as a result of our testing, we have yet to find an unbeatable opening that leads to a decided victory from the outset. Some openings are certainly stronger and more aggressive than others, but with careful play you will usually be able to slip between your opponents fingertips and live to fight another turn.
You will be charged in the few days following the conclusion of the campaign on April 3rd. It is at this time that all shipping costs will be factored in as well.
Manufacturing will begin shortly after the conclusion of the Pocketopia campaign on April 3rd. While there are still some details to iron out, we’ve been told that there is about a 2 month turnaround for manufacturing, so the game will be available this summer! If you are local to Boston or will be attending GenCon this year, reach out to us and we can arrange a pickup and you won't need to pay shipping!
If the unthinkable befalls your package, send us an email at [email protected] with whatever information you have regarding your package’s status and we’ll do our best to make everything work out in your favor.
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
