BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
If I have a question, where do I ask it?
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].
How will tariffs impact this project?
Great question. As I'm sure you may have heard, this is a tumultuous time in the US when it comes to any business that sources their components from China, which is especially true for an overwhelming majority of board game publishers. We are hoping that the current situation will resolve before the game is manufactured and ready to be imported, but if it is not we will still do our best to take on the additional associated costs instead of passing them on to you as the consumer. It is our priority to enable the everyday person to continue to support independent projects like ours.
When can I expect to receive the pledge I backed?
We are aiming for early 2026, ideally sooner.
What happens if my package gets lost/stolen or arrives damaged?
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.
What is your refund policy?
Your pledge can be refunded at anytime, no questions asked, as long as it happens before the project has been shipped out.
