Yes! We're shipping to EU addresses from the UK, so those in the EU will not need to pay import tax/VAT.

We can't say for sure how Brexit will affect the campaign, but we expect disruption to be minimal—import tax gets charged whenever the game enters the EU, whether that's on the way to a fulfillment warehouse, or in individual boxes sent from the UK. Basically we're just paying it for you. That's how this works.

But if we could predict how Brexit would affect markets, we wouldn't need to make board games for a living. We're going to do our best and we'll keep you posted, but we totally get it if you decide to hold off and hope the game goes to retail.

Unfortunately, no. We do not plan to make any changes to international shipping prices for the duration of this campaign.

Sorry about that. We're not very happy about those shipping prices, either, but lowering them seems to involve a lot of trade-offs we're not willing to make, including a lot of time and attention that would detract from the quality of the game long-term and delay fulfillment for everybody. We're a small team of game designers, and we think that we're more likely to succeed if we try to design a game worth the high shipping cost, rather than trying to solve an international logistics problem.

If you're excited about the game, though, you can support it in other ways like playing the Print & Play and filling out our feedback form. The Print & Play is free for everyone, you don't even have to be a backer: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tommy-maranges/inhuman-conditions-a-game-of-cops-and-robots/posts/2295314

Unfortunately, no. Coordinating affordable international shipping already carries some risks, and bulk tiers act as a multiplier on that risk. We know it's possible to get right, but we'd rather devote our time and attention to other aspects of improving the final project. That's where our strengths lie.

Yes! The game that ships to backers will contain at least 10 topic areas, including all unlocked topic areas. They'll be fully colorized and illustrated.

We're releasing the print & play so we can focus on making the retail version of the game intensely high-quality and still feel confident that our game is available to everyone.

Just add $25 plus shipping to your order for every copy you want. We will follow up with a backer survey after the project and confirm the number of sets that you wanted.
