Will the game be translated to other languages?

We are looking to have the rulebook translated! We have received many requests for French, Italian, Spanish, German, and Korean. We are going to do our best to meet these requests before the game ships, but will keep everyone updated throughout the campaign. We would love to fully translate the game for future editions!

Do all of the expansion components fit in one box?

Yes! All of the expansion and base game components come in one beautiful box (and fit comfortably). The base tray will be sleeved-card friendly as well!

Is the design of the Game Board final?

After much feedback, we’re exploring the possibility of adding a stretch goal to have the board redesigned to better match the vibe of the cards in the game! We will make sure to keep coziness and functionality our top priority! Also, the game board is 27 inches long by 18 inches wide!

Is there a solo mode?

Yes! We have a fully developed and playtested solo camping mode that’s super fun! You can find the rules for the solo mode in the back of our rulebook that’s available for download on our campaign page.

What's the difference between VIP and Kickstarter special?

The only difference is the price and quantity of pledges available! The components in both versions are exactly the same. The VIP is essentially an “early bird offer” or better said, an “offer until we can’t - offer” So if there are some left, we recommend for anyone to grab the VIP pledge level!

Am I able to get the Mini Pets Expansion if I'm not a VIP?

Surprise! YES! We understand that not everyone saw our ads and/or had a chance to sign up for VIP before our campaign launched. So after some thought and consulting with our wonderful VIP group (who have graciously decided to share the pet action!) we have officially decided to add the Mini Pets Expansion as an Add-On in the Pledge Manager once our campaign ends, and the price point will be between $10-15.

As a note to our VIPs: If you already paid the $1, it will still be included for free in your game and you will not need to add this on in the Pledge Manager. This is just an opportunity for everyone else to enjoy the pets too! :)

CLARIFICATION The Mini Pets Expansion will come free in your game only if you signed up to reserve the game for $1 before we launched, even if you buy the VIP pledge tier. Everyone who did not reserve the game before we launched now has the ability to add on the Mini Pets Expansion in the Pledge Manager after the campaign closes, so if you would like to add the pets to your game, you don’t have to do anything until after the campaign!

P.S. If you add on the Premium Wooden Upgrade for All Tokens, this will include upgrading the pets tokens as well if you added the Pets mini-expansion. :)

Will we be able to add card sleeves on in the Pledge Manager after the campaign ends?

Yes! And as a bonus, the box will accommodate sleeved cards!

If I get the Premium Wooden Upgrade and the Metal Coin upgrade, will I get both wooden and metal coins?

Yes! These will be packaged separately, so in fulfillment they are going to look at the orders and place the pre-packaged add-ons in the box from each order.

If I get the Neoprene Mat Upgrade, will I get both the neoprene mat and regular board?

Yes!

Last updated: August 19, 2023 12:59

Will the Neoprene Mat fit in the box?

It will not be packaged in the box. However, I’m going to talk to our manufacturer/Gametrayz to see if we can find a middle-ground where those who did purchase the neoprene mat will have the option to take the regular game board (that they are gong to get either way) out of the box and have enough room to place the neoprene mat in, so it’s easier to travel with. I will keep everyone updated on this.

Why is the All-In Deluxe Edition called "All-In" if there are other upgrades available?

The All-In Edition is essentially a “Gameplay All-In”, as we wanted to keep it affordable for those who just want to play the game with all of the expansions/bonus game, and are less interested in the upgraded components. We were not planning on releasing the 4 new add-ons that recently became available until after the campaign in the Pledge Manager. However, we decided to make them available now due to the reasons stated in Update #4. We understand that this may cause some confusion, but also understand that the confusion would compound immensely if we created an additional All-In pledge level, since there’s no way to change the name or description of the current All-In pledge level after the campaign is live and someone has backed it. We strive to stay as transparent as possible so please don’t hesitate to reach out if there is any confusion or need help with choosing a pledge level! :)

I paid the $1 reservation to be a VIP before the campaign, but the Pets mini expansion and tent mini expansion isn't included in my survey. Will I still get it for free?

Thanks for reaching out about this! You are correct, you will get the mini-expansions for free so please don’t add them to your survey! We have you on the list! :)

Also thank you for being such an early backer, it means a lot!!!

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
