Hi! One more quick update, this time to let you know that all rewards have been shipped. That is, from our warehouse. Depending on the destination, shipping may take a few more days, or even a few more weeks. But your reward is underway!
Later this year we hope to launch a new Kickstarter campaign, this time for the first expansion to Rollecate: Stations. To know when it launches, please be sure to click the 'Notify me on launch' button on our Pre-launch page.
To learn more about the new modules in this expansion, check our Work in Progress thread on BoardGameGeek. It gives you a sneak peek of some of the new artwork and will allow you to download a PnP version later on!
Hi! Another quick update, in part an advertisement for our newest project (with a free Rollecate goodie at the end). Hope you'll forgive us for that. It so happens Gam'inBIZ is one of the publishing partners in the Hidden Leaders project by the 3 BFFs from Vienna Markus, Raphael and Andreas (BGG Games). The Kickstarter campaign for this lovely game full of heroes, bluff and intrigue, covered in a lovely sauce of extravagant Japanese artwork, will launch this afternoon.
Hidden Leaders is a quick to play card game for 2 to 6 (!) players, featuring over 80 unique cards illustrated by the talented Japanese artist Satoshi Matsuura. We were immediately impressed by both the style and gameplay of this game. It is a refreshing deduction game, with a pleasant light touch and full of geeky humor. This is definitely one of these 2021 projects people will be talking about for a long time.
In this game you play one of the 6 heirs of the deceased emperor of Oshra and you battle to become the new leader of the empire. However, nobody knows who plays who. And that's what makes this game so interesting. Every leader is loyal to 2 of the 4 factions in the empire (the Imperial Army, the Hill Tribes, the Water-people and the Undead). If one of the factions is victorious, so will be their leader. And so in this game you will have to try and make one of your two factions win, to win yourself. That results in a lovely game of bluff, intrigue and take that tactics.
And the wonderful thing about this game is that it was designed by 3 friends who've known each other since kindergarten. They are often found LARPing, that is, when they are not working on their many game ideas. Markus, Raphael and Andreas are not typical heroes, but to us they are symbols of what you can achieve through friendship and perseverance. Check it out on Kickstarter now.
And finally, as promised, a nice goodie to this update with. For all of you who have children, and for those who very much like the relaxing joy of coloring themselves, we made a black and white coloring page based on the Rollecate artwork. It's really quite lovely and available as a free download. All you need to do is print it and enjoy! Click here to download the (A4 size) coloring page.
Hi! This is a quick update to inform you we have started fulfillment of the pledge rewards! The trains have now all been cast and the orders for backers from the US, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and The Netherlands are now underway. Other countries will follow soon.
Last week, we sent you a brief update to let you know that the miniatures were going to be cast. This week, work has actually begun, and we figured you'd like to see some photos of the whole process.
We hope to receive the finished miniatures in a few days and will start packaging them, carefully putting every single miniature in a red velvet back and sliding them in a protective plastic box together with their certificate of authenticity. As soon as that is done, we will start shipping as soon as possible!
