[ DAY 24 ] The Dice Tower pick of the week, Deluxe Edition, Addons
about 3 years ago

The Dice Tower pick of the week? Oh well... what to say.
When I went to kickstarter with the game, I didn't have excessive expectations.
I figured if the game got funded and covered at least part of the cost, I'd be happy. I was all about sharing the game and getting it to as many people as possible. I didn't count on this much interest, and certainly not on the fact that a lot of people are willing to pay extra for extra content or even a deluxe edition of a good game. For this reason, the game is priced cheaply (considering today's situation) and I offer only the basic version of the game. After all, for a first project, it's better to keep things simple than to complicate them unnecessarily. Judging by the feedback, it's clear to me that a lot of people would welcome more deluxe content. I believe a lot of cards and extra stuff + some stretch goals will at least partially satisfy the more demanding among you.
After discussing with the manufacturers, I decided to drop the idea of a deluxe edition for the first kickstarter, and believe me, I'm doing it with a heavy heart. The reason is simple. The minimum production cost for the game to make economic sense is 500 units. If we reach 1000 backers, it would still mean that 50% of people would have to opt for the deluxe edition. I don't think this is realistic and offering a game at an overpriced price is something I don't want.
The situation is not conceding here either and for the same reason. The minimum quantity to produce is a tricky thing. After a few days of decision making, I decided on the following solution - I will make the addons available. The pledge manager of BackerKit does a very reasonable thing - unlock an addon only when a sufficient number of people have gathered. Therefore, addons will be limited to min 300 backers, there would be no point in making addons for less.
Based on your feedbacks, there will be two addons to choose from in the pledge manager.
If we are unable to unlock the double layered player sheet within the stretch goals, it will be available as a separate addon.
The second addon will be upgraded worker tokens. From regular punchies to super wooden tokens with cool printing.
The price for each addon is currently set at $9.
I hereby apologize to anyone who was expecting some craziness. Believe me, I would like to offer more, but due to the size of the campaign and the things mentioned above, it is not possible at the moment. What I'd much rather focus on is finishing the final touches as swiftly as possible and delivering the game to your gaming table as fast as possible.
After all, Kinghill was created with gameplay, balance and replayability in mind. Not with the idea of pompous miniatures and unnecessary plastic. I trust you will appreciate that.
Thanks

Several of you have expressed the wish to make stretch goals more transparent.We completely agree and we have published several stretch goals, including possible rewards. If the campaign takes off, we're ready to add more cool stuff!
We've also placed the stretch goals and treasure chest section higher up on the page so newcomers can see how awesome of a community we are and how many rewards we've managed to unlock!
