Project FAQ
Ahoy: New Horizon content will ship in approximately Q1 of 2025. Follow along to our campaign updates for more details as we get closer to that shipping date. If your pledge includes a copy of the Ahoy base game, the base game will ship at the conclusion of the campaign (Q4 2023.)
Shipping charges will be collected closer to when the campaign closes, at that time we’ll charge cards for shipping. We will send out updates via BackerKit in advance of this lock date.
If you need to update your address after the campaign ends, but before we lock addresses, you can do so directly via your BackerKit survey. If you need help, or need to update your address after they are locked, please contact us directly at: [email protected]
Yes, we will be offering late pledges, with further details to come.
It is extremely unlikely but not impossible. If rates do change, we will notify backers appropriately before shipping charges are collected. We always do our best to avoid increasing any costs already determined in a campaign.

The first printing of the Ahoy expansion and base game are only in English. As a general rule we implement localization efforts with the second printing of our products. There are a number of internal and external resources required for the more than 13 languages our games are printed in and we've found this is the most efficient process for the studio and its partners.
Yes, a maximum total of 6 pledges may be purchased. For shipping rates per additional pledge, please review our shipping rate sheet on the main campaign page

Leder Games aims to present you with the full product offering on the first day of our campaigns. As a general ethos, we want to give our crowdfunding backers a substantial value without attempting to capitalize on the fear of missing out or gimmicks.
There is no plan to develop a solo or clockwork opponent for Ahoy at this time.
No, currently the game goes up to four players. The New Horizons expansion does provide four unique alternate factions for the base game!
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.
