$260K Stretch Goal UNLOCKED
about 6 years ago – Fri, Nov 09, 2018 at 11:43:51 PM

Hey there Reavers of Midgard backers,

It's very nearly the weekend and we've hit yet another stretch goal.

$260K Stretch Goal Unlocked

Beyond all the other nifty component-related goodies, that's 6 Reaver cards, 3 Sea Battle cards and 2 Sea Journey cards that will come with everyone's pledges on the content side of things.

Our next stretch goal on this journey is a very significant one... free GameTrayz storage trays for this game for all backers.

Live Playthrough

We'll have a better sense of exact timing of a live playthrough of Reavers of Midgard from BGG.Con on Monday, but we're anticipating that to be held on Tuesday or Wednesday night, likely around 8 PM.

Thanks for following along on the journey! Keep spreading word of this epic quest because we're not even at the halfway point yet.

International Add-Ons/Editions - Live Stream Recap
about 6 years ago – Thu, Nov 08, 2018 at 11:22:50 PM

Hey there Reavers of Midgard backers,

We've sailed past the $250K mark, more than halfway to our next stretch goal. A couple of quick items to update you on.

International Editions

We are pleased to announce that, in addition to the already announced French edition from Don't Panic Games and Portuguese edition from MeepleBR, there will also be a Spanish edition available from Arrakis Games. There are discussions of a German edition as well, but nothing we can announce just yet.

A couple of important notes in regards to the international editions of Reavers of Midgard that will hopefully clear up some confusion.

- These editions will include all stretch goals unlocked during the campaign.

- Translation and shipping fulfillment will be handled by the respective companies as these are their editions of the games.

- As a result, shipping locations, retailer pledge options and add-ons are significantly restricted for each of these editions based on publisher interest.

Add-ons

At this time, we are only able to offer the Reavers of Midgard mat as an add-on for the international editions of the game. International backers of the Grey Fox Games edition will still be eligible to get other add-ons. Again, this is as a result of current agreements with individual publishers.

Shipping Locations

Arrakis Games edition (Spanish) - This edition is only available in Spain at this time.

Don't Panic Games edition (French) - This edition is currently available in France, Canada, Belgium and Luxembourg.

MeepleBR edition (Portuguese) - This edition is currently only available in Brazil at this time.

Live Stream Recap

• Reavers of Midgard initially came to Grey Fox Games in March 2017 as a post-apocalyptic title that took some of the action selection mechanisms found in San Juan and re-implementing them in a fresh way.
• A big part of the development of the game focused on incorporating that Champions of Midgard feel... the dice-based combat and epic battles.
• The multitude of tricky decisions you encounter each round is something J.B. thinks will really appeal to players and have them hooked.
• It's intended to be a small step up in complexity from Champions of Midgard.
• If J.B. could be any flavor of ice cream, he would be pistachio.

That's all for now! Thank you for supporting project and get excited because those sweet sweet Gametrayz aren't too far off now.

Two Stretch Goals Unlocked - Live Stream Tonight - BGG.Con Demos
about 6 years ago – Thu, Nov 08, 2018 at 12:08:59 AM

Hey there everyone,

Some good news for you in a second update on this Wednesday, so let's get right to it.

Two New Stretch Goals UNLOCKED

Back to back, we have hit two new stretch goals for this campaign. One of them is an upgrade for the dice at $240K. These will now be etched instead of screen printed, something we know a lot of players tend to prefer.

We've also hit the social share stretch goal and have unlocked two new Grey Fox-exclusive sea journey cards. That will hopefully make your travels much smoother sailing when you're heading out to go do battle.

Next up on our stretch goal journey.... yet another content-related goal. This is for three new Grey Fox-exclusive Reaver cards added to the deck.

Live Stream Tonight

A friendly reminder that we have a livestream scheduled tonight at 8 PM CST to talk Reavers of Midgard with the game's designer, J.B. Howell. We'll be talking about how the game came about and answering any questions you have.

Gameplay Videos

Based on some recent comments, it looks like that for some, preview videos aren't quite enough and they'd like to see something more gameplay-focused. We're getting one of the high quality prototypes used to show off the game back either late this week or early next week. We want to have that prototype in hand because it better shows off how the game looks/plays than our current in-house working prototype does. Our intention is to have a game live streamed next week to show off how Reavers of Midgard plays. BUT, there's also a good in-person opportunity available coming next week.....

BGG.Con Demos

If you happen to be going to BGG.Con in Dallas next week, you'll have a chance to play the game yourself.

You can find us at booth #309. Here's a handy map if you're looking for one.

That's all for now. There will be an update later on today with more information for international backers and those interested in editions of the game in other languages. We have a lot more details to announce and some additional partners to discuss.

French Edition Available - Previews Now Up
about 6 years ago – Wed, Nov 07, 2018 at 11:57:50 PM

Hey Reavers of Midgard backers,

A couple of bits of news this morning that you might be interested in.

French Edition Available

Through our partners Don't Panic Games, we're pleased to announce that we'll be printing a French edition of Reavers of Midgard in parallel with the main run of the game.  As this is the language we get perhaps the most questions about, we're very excited to be able to offer this option. If you've already pledged for the English version and would like to switch, all you have to do is change your pledge over to the different level.

This is in addition to the Portuguese version of the game offered by MeepleBR in Brazil.

Previews Now Up

Both preview videos are now up for Reavers of Midgard... one from Never Bored Gaming and another from Man vs. Meeple. We've posted links to them in our Previews section of the campaign page.

Social Stretch Goal Update

We are very very close to hitting that social stretch goal. As of this post, we're at 240 shares/retweets of the pinned posts on our Facebook page and Twitter page. A few more will unlock new Sea Journey cards for Reavers of Midgard.

That's all for now! Hoping to have a couple more updates for you later today.

$220K Stretch Goal Unlocked - Live Stream w/ J.B. Howell
about 6 years ago – Tue, Nov 06, 2018 at 08:17:35 PM

Hey there Reavers of Midgard backers,

It's a lovely Tuesday here in St. Louis and we're looking for a big day today with a couple of previews expected to come online at some point today. We'll send a separate update on that a little later, but for now a couple of other bits of news.

$220K Stretch Goal Unlocked

This stretch goal was a backer-requested one to add linen finishes to the cards in the game. Last night, we hit that milestone and are already on our way to the next one at $240K. Please keep the suggestions coming! We can't get every one of them in there, but it's something we value and like to incorporate where we can.

Live Stream

Tomorrow evening we're hosting a live stream with J.B. Howell, the designer of Reavers of Midgard. We'll be talking about his design approach and getting more into Reavers' history. If you have any questions for either us or J.B., we'll also be answering them live as well. You can join us right here on the Kickstarter page for that.

Social Stretch Goal Update

We're getting very closes to hitting the social share stretch goal. As of this morning, we have a combined 193 shares/retweets of the pinned posts out of the 250 needed to hit that stretch goal.

If you'd like to get this goal over the edge, you can share the pinned post on our Facebook page or retweet the pinned tweet on our Twitter page.

Thanks as always for supporting this campaign!
