Lots of exciting stuff to cover today, so let's get to it!
First and foremost, we're THRILLED to announce that we've unlocked two awesome upgrades, based on some of our earlier discussion and polling. Let's show you...
Bay cards: We previously discussed making bay cards available, both as a downloadable/printable image file and also as a $5 add-on. Well... how about FREE instead - does that work for you?! Yes! We will include 15 (enough for 3 per player) bay cards in the base game, and they will fit right inside the box for easy portability. The bay cards also provide the same convenient scoring areas that the neoprene mats offer, so you will now have the full experience inside a super tiny box!
The draft rulebook has already been updated to reflect this change, which you can find here:
Bag for mats: For those who love that super-deluxe neoprene mat experience, but also longed for a good way to store them, we've got great news for you too! We previously discussed possibilities of various forms of custom boxes that could hold both the mats and the original game box/components, but the logistics and costs there proved too much for this campaign. Instead, we're happy to include a printed draw-string bag that will fit all 5 neoprene mats, at no additional cost!
We are still working through the exact dimensions for the bag, and we're not ruling out the possibility that it would be able to fit both the mats and the game box (either inside the bag or via an added pouch), but I'm not sure yet if that's definitely going to be viable... so no promises, but that would be really cool if we can make it work!
Our robot renaming effort was super fun and engaging, and we're stoked with the final results! Here's an image that demonstrates all the names that you all suggested and/or voted on, each different from the set of names we started the campaign with:
I think "meteor" is my favorite of the bunch, but I seriously love all these... what's your favorite?! Comment below...
Here's the full table of all the final names:
Thank you all for your participation - we hope you will love seeing your naming ideas and preferences included in the final product!
What's next?
We're now heading into the final days of the campaign. If all goes well, we'll see an influx of new backers at the 48 hour mark (when all the people watching the campaign get their final notice).
NOW IS THE TIME to share the campaign page out to your social channels! Let your friends know why you're backing the project... let them know what aspect you're most excited about... let them know how cheap the game is here (just $15 on BackerKit only!)!! Board game groups on Facebook are especially helpful to post in!
Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, and we can't wait to show you the final production as soon as it's available. Cheers!!
