August Games is a tabletop design group and publisher of hobby games based out of fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. We are a group of people who simply love board games and want to make the sort of games we want to play – games that are elegant in design with compelling themes and above all – FUN!
The pledge manager emails from Backerkit have gone out for Rise of the Gnomes. If you did not receive an email or have questions please email Dan at [email protected].
We wanted to give you an update. The Backerkit Pledge manager is ready to go but we are waiting for our payment to Backerkit to post (ach can take 5-7 business days - we sent it 5 business days ago). Once they get payment they will send out the pledge manager emails to all of you. We apologize for the delay.
The production files for Rise all ready. The only update remaining are the Benefactor names for the rule books.
Happy Sunday all.
We just wanted to touch base with all of you about the status of the Backerkit Pledge Manager for Rise of the Gnomes. We are all set and ready to go on our end and are still waiting for Kickstarter to release your info and funds to us. Once that happens we will be sending each of you the link. Stay tuned!
We have opened pre-orders for Rise of the Gnomes for those who missed the Kickstarter. You can find our pre-order page here.
Originally we planned on launching Backyard Chickens in July of this year, but due to the backlog at Game Crafter, we could not get our review copies out in time. We have rescheduled it to August of this year. We still plan on offering all of you the option to back Backyard Chickens with FREE SHIPPING since we will be able to ship the games together. Stay tuned!
First of all, we would like to thank all of your for your support. We are so excited to share Rise of the Gnomes with all of you.
The pledge manager will launch in two weeks after Kickstarter releases the funds and backer data to us (around May 15th). Each of your will receive and email from Backerkit where you can manage your pledge and add more goodies if you wish. We will remind you all again when it gets closer to the pledge manger launch date.
We are launching our next project in July called Backyard Chickens. Backyard Chickens is a deck-building game for two to five players in which you and your neighbors compete to raise the best flock on the block! We fell in love with this game two years ago and are excited to help get it out there into the world.
The Backyard Chickens production files are done so we have decided to manufacture and ship Backyard Chickens along with Rise of the Gnomes. We are working with Backerkit to offer our Rise of the Gnomes free shipping for Backyard chickens when you support the campaign. Is this something that would interest you? We think it's a great opportunity to save on shipping for our backers.
We have reached the final two days of the campaign and coming upon our final stretch goal. We are excited to have the custom meeples and plastic insert. Now we REALLY want all of you to have those ten additional races and need your help.
Here are the races included in the next stretch goal:
Here is a PDF link to most recent draft of the new player boards. We have been testing them for the last six months and have had a blast with them. Please feel free to use the Dropbox comment box to give us your feedback.
