Our standard issue cards are poker size (2.5" X 3.5") printed on high-quality white-core cardstock. They are crisp, durable, and ready for action. However, we have plans to reinforce the line! If we hit our $12.5k Stretch Goal, we will upgrade all cards to premium [Linen Finish/Black Core] cardstock. This upgrade makes the cards even more resilient against the mud and wear of the trenches. Help us spread the word so we can hit that milestone and get the best gear into your hands!

The 24-hour "First Wave" discount is a reward for the first Wharf Rats who hit the trenches. Once that window closes, the price moves to the standard campaign rate. However, both are significantly lower than the eventual retail price!

The box is designed to be a standard square size [304.8x304.8x76.2mm], ensuring it fits perfectly alongside your other tactical simulations.

Affirmative! A Forlorn Hope is designed from the ground up as a dedicated solo experience. You are the lone commander in the trenches. However, you don't have to face the mud alone—the game features a fully integrated Co-op Mode, allowing up to three people to work together to survive the front lines and complete the mission.

We won’t collect shipping or VAT during the initial campaign. Once the battle lines are drawn and the campaign ends, you’ll receive an invite to our BackerKit Pledge Manager. There, you’ll provide your final coordinates (shipping address) and pay the necessary postage and local taxes.

Yes, the box insert is being designed with sleevs in mind to ensure everything fits back in the box securely.

It is designed to be a "brutal but fair" tactical challenge. While the rules are accessible, surviving the trenches requires careful resource management and a bit of luck.

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.

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.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

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.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
