 Hello Strikers!

UPDATE,

Not much to update at the moment. The mats are completed and have been shipped.

 The samples I saw were really nice. I am excited that they are done.

Nothing new on the the game it is being assembled and should be done here in the next few weeks. 

Knights Update!

So the other knights are currently being completed. I hope to have all of these done in the next few weeks as well. All the extra art has been a long process for sure, it was more than 100 pieces of art hand drawn. 

Here are the latest samples.

 I will let you know when we have more news. Thank you for your understanding and support for this game. Not to long now!

Happy Halloween to everyone be safe!

Pre Production Copy
over 6 years ago – Sat, Sep 30, 2017 at 11:33:39 PM

 Hello Strikers,

So the Pre Production Copy arrived and just about everything looked awesome! 

Some updates: The box will be a bit bigger. The Wooden Token 1st Player Marker will be 5mm thick. The crowns will be a bit smaller width with the new design.

The Game is in production currently!

What does this mean? 

It means that the game is being printed and assembled. Once that is complete it will be loaded onto the boat and head towards the fulfillment center! For those of you that are new to the Kickstarter process this means we are turning the corner for the home stretch.

The playmat is also in production and will be arriving to the fulfillment center soon as well. This is all awesome news and things are moving along. 

I made a video of the unboxing of the game and uploaded it to youtube. Here is the video.

I was able to get a few extra things into the game that were not on the Kickstarter page and that will benefit the backers greatly. 

Added Content:

Double sided reputation tracks to challenge players a bit more. Added 2 new tracking cards that will give players some different options to unlock during the game. Punch board tokens to track your progress on the reputation tracks. This also allowed us to add the mechanic for players to get a second dice in the same political track. This was something we wanted to add based on player feedback. 

Of course all of these things added to the cost of the game on our end but they were free upgrades to you!

If you have any questions about the video or the game please let me know.

We will be at BGG again this year. I will have the PPC of the game and I hope by then I have a printed copy of the game. We shall see it will be close.

I will also have a prototype of our next game Vinyl. A game about collecting records in a record store! It is a wonderful game designed by Eric Alvarado. I would really enjoy playing with you and getting feedback on the game if you are going to BGG!

 Well that wraps it up for now. I should have another update soon!

Approving the Pre Production Copy!

 Hello Strikers,

The PPC is on the way! What does this Mean? 

It means that if everything looks good in the Pre-Production Copy, we will go into mass production and assemble the game! 

What About the Timeline for delivery?

Well there is no way around it we will be a bit late. Everything I can do to get us close to the November timeline will be done.

What About the Print and Play?

Look for the PnP to release this upcoming weekend.

What about the add-ons?

What About the playmat?

The Mat is completed and has been sent to the printer.

 What About the 18 bonus Knights?

We are working on the art for those as we speak! They are being printed separate of the game, as I could not fit another thing in the box!!!!!

In the Coming Months!

BGGCon I hope to have a production copy with me at BGGCon. If you are going and please contact me! I would love to play games with any of you!

When I have a detailed delivery timeline I will pass that along to you.

If there is any other information that affects the completion of this game I will let you know right away!

What other long term plans are there for the game?

We have been hard at work on an expansion for the game. We would love to find enough support for the game to add an expansion. 

I thank each of you for taking the time to back the project and help bring King's Champion to the market. The gaming world needs a game about jousting and we are super proud to have your support.

Thank you,

Rules
over 6 years ago – Wed, Aug 30, 2017 at 12:27:31 AM

 Hello Strikers,

I wanted to share the rules. Everything looks good and we are at final approval. Lots of eyes are better then just a few pair so please if you have questions let me know. I think the rule book came together well and it was a big task. I was already asked why it is so long. 

Well it is a smaller ruler book in physical size. We are going with a smaller box. If it were 8 1/2 by 11 it would be about half the pages. That being said we have plenty of visual aids to convey the rules. A big thanks to Sarah Sharp for taking on this task.
