We are so, so grateful for our incredible backers who have made Valley of the Kings Ultimate Edition such a success! 

Below are notes on some of the NEW Content by John Goodenough! 

Sometimes it’s easy to see who is going to win in Valley of the Kings. Since tombs are public knowledge, you can figure out how many points each opponent has. With bonus scoring cards, the outcome of the game will be in doubt until final scoring occurs. If you choose to use bonus scoring cards in your game, you will deal out three to each player, and each player will pick one to keep. This will be their secret goal. It might give extra points for entombed cards that cost 4 gold, or for having lots of starter cards in their tomb. If you like surprise endings, try the new bonus scoring cards.

Valley of the Kings: Ultimate Edition contains a set of twenty event cards. The events affect all players; they change the rules of game to make things easier (Blessings) or harder (Plagues).

The gods and goddesses of Egypt provide Blessings that may allow you two “free entombs” each turn or allow you to draw a 6-card hand for example.

The Plagues are inspired by the ten biblical plagues of Egypt – the afflictions brought down by Moses upon Pharaoh. The Plagues may force all players to sacrifice cards or require that new cards in the pyramid be placed hidden face down for example.

Although you may use the event cards in any way you wish, we recommend that you shuffle a Blessing into the first half of the stock (level 2 cards) and a Plague into the second half (level 3 cards). When a new event is revealed, it cancels the effect of the previous event. Players are free to shuffle in multiple Blessings if they want an easier game or more Plagues if they want to increase the game's difficulty.

The $50 Shipping to the EU INCLUDES VAT - this has now been clarified on the campaign page. 

Having shipped many crowdfunding projects over the years, we know how frustrating it can be to be hit with extra shipping and tax charges when your much-anticipated package arrives at your door. That is why we are working with a global shipping company from start to finish. Working with FedEx International, we take care of ALL VAT and customs charges. So the price you see for shipping to the EU includes everything. Also, your package never leaves the FedEx supply train. We hand it to FedEx at our warehouse, then it will be delivered to any address in the EU within 10 Days. Your package will not be handed off to another 3rd, 4th or even 5th party before it gets to you. This means your package will be tracked every day until it arrives.

Thank you!
