Project Update: Fulfillment Update 1
Hey Everyone,
This is Jack, the publisher of Prestige.
I want to explain my absence for the last two months. My goal in campaigns is to update EOM (end of month) rain or shine. Not making excuses here, I'm sorry you're waiting on updates from me, but I do want to explain what has been happening and will happen next:
- We funded at the end of July
- Fritz and I went to GenCon and I sent copies of our games with Scott Kabel to a massive convention in Wyoming. The volume of those sales took some time to fulfill (I'm mostly self fulfilling, so it is time consuming)
- My project New Kingdom: Sowers was supposed to fulfill by end of September but a portion of packages about 10% were lost in shipping, so I have been working through customer service tickets to self-fulfill those lost packages.
- Additionally, I've been covering for my lead pastor since July 22nd while he's been out on a 16 week sabbatical which is almost over, so I've been distracted by some other duties that took way more of my time that I originally anticipated.
- For Prestige we are still finalizing art. We decided to redesign the cards which took some time. The new graphic design is much cleaner.
- I anticipate printing and beginning fulfillment before the end of the year, but I'm 50/50 on whether we will see Prestige delivered before or after the holidays. My bet is January, but I will push for earlier.
I will send an update with new art at the end of this month with another update.
Thanks for sticking with us!

Project Update: Event card polls now live!
Happy September city-builders!
The polls for the new event cards are now live!
One of the stretch goals that we reached on the final day of our campaign included adding 1 additional card to each event deck in the game (3 in total). Now we need your help in narrowing down which cards will be included!
Anyone with a Backerkit account can vote, and polls end next Wednesday (9/18).
How to vote:
- Log in to your Backerkit account.
- Navigate to the Community tab of the Prestige campaign: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/jack-dunbar/prestige/community#top
- Click on the event cards that you want to see in the final copy of the game for all 3 polls!
Many of these extra event cards have been written by our fabulous guest writers, who have done wonders to bring the world of Prestige to life (and in such few words too)!
The polls only include the title and author of the cards (where applicable), but if you want to know the full story associated with each one before voting, you can check them out here below:
Favor Gained
-
An Unexpected Discovery
A hunting party discovers a metal ore deposit while tracking a wounded deer. Immediately, the City begins to mine the metals and smelting techniques are refined. Vast improvements in weaponry combined with a surplus of precious metals advances the City's power amongst neighboring tribes.

-
Remembrance Day
The people recall their lost loved ones: some with laughter and song, others with whispers and tears. But all feel closer to the departed — and to each other.
By Chris Doka
-
Codes of Law
The earliest settlers developed a code of law that provided structure for agreed upon behavior by the citizens and visitors to the city.
By PJ Oubre
Favor Lost
-
Season of Lost Hope
While the mild summer aided in record crops and a surplus of food, it was also the perfect breeding ground for rodents. As the autumn temperatures drop, millions of vermin descend across the City. There was a massive loss in provisions and a famine soon followed. Hope in the heart of the city was lost.

Corrupt Guard
"Why should I break my back for nothing but stale bread and pittance while the nobles feast in their warm halls? Why shouldn’t I make a little extra coin for my service, and all I have to do is… look the other way."

Abandoned Efforts
Though once excited by the prospect of advancing the great city they once held dear, your people have turned away in the last hour. A project partially completed is just as good to you as an empty plot of land.
Invader
-
Poisoned Wells
Our army fought valiantly and victory was within reach. Unfortunately, we took the enemy's claim of witchcraft for granted. If our soldiers only knew that the enemy's 'potion' was used to poison all the wells in the City. The nightmarish visions that followed had plagued our city's sleep and our exhausted soldiers were easily overrun.

Invaded by Outcasts
Broken men. Men that have lost everything and enact their rage upon the innocent. Pity them, but put them to the sword all the same.
By Dan Leak
-
Raided Villages
Villages on the outskirts of your land had once been a great source of trade and supplies for your bustling city. Without the protection of your city walls though, the folks that live in these modest settlements have been easily overrun by bandits. Their homes were burned and now they flee to the shelter and safety of your mighty city. Can your city hold such numbers though?
Also, be sure to keep an eye out for a big logistics and timeline update coming soon from our publisher! Jack, from kingdoms of the Earth, has been hard at work finalizing the files for our manufacturing partners and working through the remaining tasks that are needed to get this game into your hands. Be sure to check it out when that update drops!
