Updates? Pledge Manager?
Is there a pledge manager for this? I didn't receive a survey for that. Any more recent progress updates?
Samples: 2-3 Weeks
Update next week!
Tips on how to set up the game on TTS?
When I start a game all 5 home islands are on the table as well as all 8 inner island mats. Each home islands has a "Play / Discard" component next to it. It seems I'm supposed to somehow interact with them to decide how many players and which people will play the game, but I am not sure what to do. I've tried placing each of the decks on either the Play/Discard spot, but nothing happens.
Suggestion: Draw Athenian Decadence card at the start of the game
Instead of drawing the Decadence card when there's only one left in the deck or when somebody else ends the game, what if it were drawn and set aside at the start of the game? It seems to me this would have functionally the same effect, but would allow for the language in the rules to be simplified (IMO). You could even include an "Athenian Decadence" mat for setting that card aside, so people don't mistake that card on the table with something else and inadvertently look at it before they're supposed to. It could be something like this: Decadence At the start of the game, before drawing your initial hand, draw a card and set it aside face-down on the Athenian Decadence mat, without looking at it. Flip it face-up whenever you draw the last card of your deck or whenever the game ends, whichever happens first. At the end of the game, each of your revered temples with preference matching the preference of the card set aside on the Athenian Decadence mat is worth 5 points. (Faith would also have to be adjusted) Faith If there aren't enough cards left in the deck to discard for each revered temple, discard as many as you can. You choose which temples (and in what order) to perform the Faith effect for.
News for the new year?
Happy new year everyone! I was just wondering if we can expect some official news sooner than later? Extremely excited to play Aegean Sea!

What are the BackerKit pledge manager options?
Hi, new to BackerKit as a crowd funding platform. What options are available after this campaign ends? Specifically, 1. If I pledge for $1, can I upgrade to a $30 or case pledge after the campaign is over? Similarly, if I pledge for 1 $30 copy, can I upgrade to a case pledge? 2. Are late pledges an option, and if so, will the prices be the same? I'm trying to organise a group purchase, but running out of time during the campaign, so I'd like to leave my options open for as long as possible (and also to have time to communicate with the other potential group members). Thanks

Shipping multiple copies
I'm trying to get a group of 12 together for a case buy, but if I can only get a subset, say 6 people, what would shipping look like? I assume that if a case is 2-3x a single copy shipping, that 6 copies will be somewhere in between? Ie, We'll still be saving a bunch on shipping. Is there any chance that 6 could cost more to ship than a case of 12? (Shipping can be weird)
Changing my pledge?
Hi, I have a conversation ($1) pledge and want to upgrade to a print copy ($30). Can I not simply upgrade? Do I have to cancel my pledge and re pledge at the new level? Cheers
Estimation of delivery
Sorry if it is mentioned somewhere but I cannot find it. As I understand the game is almost complete. Is there an estimation for delivery dates?
Rulebook feedback:
My two cents on the rulebook: Page 6 (gameplay), under Vainglory. The example is wrong because 11+2 is not 14. Page 8 (Option D). The wording of this sentence is ambiguous "In both of the Islands to the right, Rhodes would have a single Revered Temple" because it's not clear if there is a single revered temple in total or in each island (I guess it's the latter) or how many extra cards would be drawn. Let me suggest this wording: "In each of the Islands to the right, Rhodes would have a single Revered Temple (2 in total), bringing their hand to 6 cards."
Does the shipping cost to the UK include VAT & duties?
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere (this is my first Backerkit project!), but does the $12 shipping fee to the UK include VAT and all other import costs, or are those things extra and will be charged on top of the $42 (either in the pledge manager or by the courier)?
Live Stream?
Did the live stream happen on Wed 11/2/22? I would really like to se a game played were the "If you use a card for its effect after the basic action, you *cannot* keep it as a Quest." rule is followed to see how the game flows. The flow of the game was quick and exciting when that rule was ignored. I am curious how the game paces when the rule actually is followed. What is the plan now for the next play you can post?
Which People do you want to play?
(There are also unfounded rumors of a sixth people, the Felines, with the ability to roll across all the Islands on the table and destroy everything in their path, but shh.)

Color blind friendly hopes
I really hope that the dot in the corner of each card for preference is made bigger or better yet, has the symbol of the preference along with the color. Or just the symbol honestly. (on TTS the electrum and Marble dots are too similar for my eyes). Other observations: I think the background images for the cards is serviceable for distinguishing goods types. Perhaps the images themselves could be made more pronounced with specific care spent on the right hand border of the card where they will be sticking out from the tuck.
Card index x/220
Is there a reason why you want to include the denominator x/220 (where x is the card number)? If you are preparing an extra deck (or ever decide to do an expansion) you don't want to be limited by the 220 ceiling. If you omit the 220, you can keep printing more cards incrementing the index and never have to worry about an outdated total. And it saves you space on the card.
