[Early Bird] Can I get more than one free Mystics Set if I’m an Early Bird and a Returning Backer?

No, being a Returning Backer allows you to access the Early Bird offer for the whole duration of the campaign. If you already pledged in the first 24h (you’re awesome!), you already obtained that reward!

[Returning Backers] Why all the Returning Backers are eligible to the same Returning Backer reward, even Volfyirion backers?

[Returning backers] I used a different email in the previous campaigns, how can I be identified as a Returning Backer?

The assignation of the reward will happen based on an automatic software who will assign the rewards matching your email. If you are a Returning backer and you used a different email address to back our previous campaigns, please reach our support team at [email protected] and confirm your previous email address so they can manually add the free rewards.

[Upgrade Kit] Shouldn't the 2nd Edition Upgrade Kit be for free for existing backers?

After our original campaign, we had an extensive period in which we replaced all damaged or misprinted components for free to all our backers. This upgrade kit is not a way to overcome misprints or other production issues, but a complete overhaul of the game design and graphics that changes almost all components. The upgrade kit includes the game box, all the game boards, all the cardboard tokens, all the cards, and entirely new trays.

[Shipping] Why is shipping not charged during the campaign?

Charging for shipping on Kickstarter also means we would have to take into account Kickstarter Fees on shipping costs, which would make it more expensive for you.

[Add-On] What is the Meeples Set Box? How much does it cost?

The Meeples Set Box contains all the wooden components from the Meeples Invasion pledge level — more than 80 colorful pieces! If we collect enough orders during the pledge manager (BackerKit), we will be able to produce it. Its cost is €22. Please, do not add that amount to your pledge during the Kickstarter campaign.

[Add-ons] How can I get the add-ons?

To add items to your pledge, manually add the € amount to your base pledge. After the campaign ends you will be asked which items you would like to get during the survey.

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.
