The Special Edition includes: • Updated box design aligned with Hildegard, Rangitaki, and Spire’s End: Volume 2 • Custom insert tray for improved organization and storage • Silver foil-stamped title on the box • Reworked Chapter 6, with final encounter redesigned into a brutal three-phase finale • 22 revised cards integrated throughout the game, with up to 7 additional cards added through unlocked stretch goals. • 4 new small finale cards used during the expanded final encounter • Larger 19mm transparent eight-sided dice • Revised transparent 6 sided dice

Yes. The Upgrade Pack contains the new gameplay content along with the campaign-exclusive cards, allowing existing owners to receive the same new game content without purchasing a second copy of the game.

No. The Upgrade Pack is intended to update the gameplay content in an original copy without rebuilding the Special Edition piece by piece. The full Special Edition also includes physical component upgrades that are not part of the Upgrade Pack. Offering the box and insert separately would blur the distinction between the Upgrade Pack and the complete Special Edition while creating an additional product to manufacture and fulfill. To keep things straightforward, existing owners can purchase the Upgrade Pack for the revised gameplay content, while the full Special Edition is available for those who want the complete upgrade.

No. The Special Edition box has been custom-designed to hold the base game and all new Special Edition content. Each of the expansions comes in its own separate box and is not intended to fit inside the core game box.

Unfortunately, no. I know card sleeving is important to many players, so I want to be clear about the reasons. The large Story Cards use a unique custom size, and sleeves are not currently available in those dimensions. The Special Edition box was also designed to remain streamlined and consistent in size with the rest of the Spire’s End series. To accommodate sleeved cards, the compartments in the custom insert would need to be made wider. Doing so would leave the insert too thin in key areas and reduce its structural strength. Because sleeves are not currently available in the required size, and widening the insert would compromise its construction, the Special Edition box and insert are designed for unsleeved cards.

No. Spire's End: Volume One is receiving a Special Edition because it was the first game in the series and there were a number of improvements and additions I wanted to make after years of development. This project is about bringing the original game in line with the rest of the Spire's End lineup. There are currently no plans for Special Editions of Hildegard, Rangitaki, Spire's End: Volume Two, or other Favro Ventures titles.

This campaign is intentionally focused on the main Spire’s End storyline: the new Special Edition of Volume 1 and Volume 2: Episode 1. Hildegard and Rangitaki are standalone prequel adventures, and including every branch of the series would make the campaign larger, less focused, and more complicated to manage and fulfill. I wanted to keep this campaign clean, organized, and centered on the core Volume games. There is also a practical issue with Rangitaki. The current printing will soon be out of stock, and I do not want to simply reprint it as-is. There are several changes I would like to make before it returns. Revising and reprinting it through this campaign would add delays and unnecessary complications to a project that already has a very specific purpose. Both Hildegard and Rangitaki remain a major part of the Spire’s End series, and their absence from this campaign should not be taken as a sign that they are being sidelined. They deserve their own attention and will be handled separately rather than folded into a campaign focused on the main Volume storyline.

Yes.

Age recommendations vary by title due to differences in tone and content: Spire’s End: Volume 1 – Special Edition: 16+ Spire’s End: Volume 2 – Episode 1: 18+

BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.

If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.

Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.

You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.

Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
