We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on April 20, 2012.

30k and the Master Expansion Plan!

Update #9 · Mar 28, 2012 · 8 comments

All of us at Board Raptor games, from the baby penguins to the bow-tied Raptors are honored by all the fantastic support we've gotten from our community. Thank you all for helping us to reach $30,000 with over 500 physical copies already claimed! We have come a long way from our first goal of $4,000 and we are pleased that we are able to offer physical copies of the game as well as the Lovecraft expansion.


Like supervillains, we here at Board Raptor games are hard at work on
our master plan to make this game, the art, and our rewards the best
they can possibly be. Over the development of the game and the Kickstarter campaign, our supporters have let us know that what they
want is more Velociraptors, more Cannibalism, and more fun. Therefore,
we are pleased to announce that when we reach $50,000, we will create a new expansion to the game. This new expansion will include new cards and artwork from our brilliant artist, Jennifer Rodgers. Thank you all for making this Kickstarter a tremendous success. Making games and art is a dream for all of us, one that you’ve helped us to realize.  We hope to be doing this for years to come, and we hope you’ll be there with us.

      Christoffer, in regards to the Lovecraft expansion, which was unlocked at $10,000, that falls under B. Those people getting a physical copy will receive--at no additional cost to them--a physical copy of the expansion.

      Thanks for the reply. I'm still not fully understanding what "will be made available" means here, it's the same phrase as has been used before. Perhaps it's just because I'm not native in English, but does that mean:
      a) A physical copy free of additional charge is included in the $48/$58 reward.
      b) A physical copy will be made available "at cost" + shipping...
      c) A physical copy will be made available "for a price"...

      Christoffer, the Lovecraft expansion is available as electronic copies to everyone who donated at the $20 or above, and physical copies will be made available to everyone who ordered a physical game. We are still working out all the details about the $50k expansion, but we'll keep all of our supporters in the loop about that as it develops.

      Thanks to everyone for the supportive comments - it really inspires us to know that so many people are looking forward to our game. We hope you have as much fun playing as we had designing.

      Great news! Is the Lovecraft expansion (and the $50k one) included in $48/$58 rewards, or will it be sold separately?
