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
Will the storage tray fit sleeved Munchkin cards?
Yes! We have confirmed that Mayday Games Standard USA Perfect Fit Sleeves with the 56mm x 87mm size will rest nicely within! Sleeves in excess of those dimensions are not likely to fit within the space. Please note that sleeves will reduce the max amount of cards that the Big Box will hold, due to the increased size of each card.
Will the Munchkin Big Box fit in a "Kallax-sized" shelf?
Yes! The Munchkin Big Box is currently sized to fit within a Kallax-sized shelf with a little room to spare.
Will there be international shipping options?
Yes! Please view the shipping section on the main page. https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/steve-jackson-games/munchkin-big-box#story_section_6021
MBB Foreign Translations
Over the years we have worked with trusted partners worldwide to translate and deliver Munchkin in other languages. We don’t have any such deals for the Big Box . . . yet.
Can I just get the Box? /or/ just The Box and components, not cards?
Definitely not. Some of the bits may be available as add-ons, but not the box itself. If you just want a big box, you may be able to find a (now out of print) “Monster Box."
How do the Stretch Goals improve what I get?
Good Question! First off, stretch goals will be revealed as the project progresses. Each stretch goal can improve the project in different ways. For example, some stretch goals will ONLY be for backers of this crowdfunding campaign. Other stretch goals may work to improve the components already found in the Munchkin Big Box for everyone, or add new surprises all together. The way in which each stretch goal impacts your rewards will be clearly explained in the text associated with the stretch goal.
