Stretch goal #6 unlocked!

Everyone who pledged $34 or more will now receive the additional wild cards (mostly Jokers). Thanks for this incredible last-minute push!

If we don't unlock stretch goal #7 as part of the Kickstarter, it will be released as the first expansion in 2021 after the card game is published.

The backstory to this expansion, based on the science fiction story War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, will be posted later today. Go here to download the PDF (the link will be under the "Examples of play" link).

Several supporters asked about add-ons. We are working with Backerkit to offer some interesting add-ons, including:

• Extra dice

• Extra decks of cards (along with cards from all unlocked stretch goals)

• Deluxe 1/16-inch thick Decks & Discards mat, and separate Battle Mat, both printed on non-stick mouse pad material

• Limited-edition box cover sheet signed by Rodger

• And a surprise or two...
