Hello Backers,
I know I sent an update yesterday and I will do my best not to spam all of you, but our team prefers more transparency than less. I want to give some updates on our progress!
STRETCH GOAL
To put all your minds at ease, the stretch goal is safe and you all will receive the lenticular score tracker and cubes! We only had 5 dropped pledges which is pretty darn good!
FULL COLOR PNP
Keep an eye out for an email with a link to your PnP this weekend! It will come from Kickstarter, not BackerKit. It will include Basic edition game play with both a full color playmat and printer-friendly playmat.
BACKERKIT SURVEYS
I'm impressed! over 60% of you have responded in less than 24 hours! Way to go! I will still keep the surveys open for 2 weeks (unless everyone gets them in sooner). Once I get all of the surveys I can finish the ordering process!

NEXT STEPS
We still have a lot of other stuff to order:
Chevron bunkers, 14mm dice, meeples, rocket miniatures, rules cards, acrylic tokens, custom-printed meeples, and wooden/metal cubes.
All of these items are coming from the same manufacturer, so we are ordering them all together.
Playmats, ceramic tokens, gems, shipping boxes and packing tape will be ordered elsewhere.
We haven't ordered these parts yet because we need an accurate count of pledges (including any add-ons) to maximize efficiency.
If any of you have questions about our process, BackerKit or something random fee free to reach out!
Until next time,
Chris and the Rampage Games Team
Hello Backers!
We've hit the 2 week mark! This means funds are on their way and it's time to send those BackerKit surveys! We've send a smoke test to 22 of you. Please fill these out ASAP so we can determine if there are any issues on our end. After we receive the smoke test surveys, we will send all of the surveys!
Once the surveys are sent we hope that all of you will be able to complete them within two weeks so we have an accurate count for fulfillment.
If any of you have questions please reach out. We are excited to start the ordering process as well as start making these games!
Until next time,
Chris and the Rampage Games Team
Hello Backers!
I wanted to send a quick update regarding our game plan for the pre-order store and BackerKit surveys. We are going to keep the pre-order store open for approximately 4 weeks. Once funds clear we are going to open the BackerKit surveys for two weeks. We will send an update when we send the surveys.
Why such a small window? By limiting the survey to a two week window, we can figure out how much extra stuff we need without losing a lot of time waiting around since a lot of our sourced components will take a long time to come in. We also want to make sure we order the correct amount of materials to fulfill all pledges, including any of the add-ons you choose to add to your pledges. Due to the very tight margins of the pledge prices we have to be very careful with the amount of product we order. Too much, we may not be able to cover shipping issues and other contingencies. Too little, and we run out of games!
Although we want the survey completed in two weeks, we will allow address changes up until we are ready to ship.
At this moment we still have about 20 backers with credit card errors and unfortunately we are still below the final stretch goal incorporating these errors :( and we definitely want the stretch goal so lets get them fixed!!!
I wanted to also give a shout out to one of our awesome parts suppliers for the ELITE edition of 11:59.
The Norse Foundry, established in 2011, is supplying the Gold and Silver full metal Dice and Meeples for every ELITE edition. They have many outstanding, high quality metal products! We fell in love with their dice, but they do much, much more! Check out their website:
They have a very thorough FAQ section, tons of products and excellent customer service. We will definitely use them again in the future!
If anyone has any questions, please contact us.
Until next time,

Hello Backers!
Who is awesome? Every single one of you! Holy cow did we blow it out of the water in the final 48 hours! I was worried we might not reach the stretch goal but we did and then some. $12,073, what an awesome number. This is hands down the best campaign Rampage Games has ever had, and we are so humbled by your support. 485 backers! I can't wait to get rolling and start making these games! We are going to be very busy this summer.
We have a bit of a limbo period these next two weeks before funds clear. We've set up a pre-order site for those who missed the campaign. It doesn't really concern you guys since you will be able to add on the same stuff for a cheaper price when I send the surveys. I'll send another update when we send the surveys.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT for you to fix those credit card errors! I know we passed the stretch goal, but we have enough errors that if they don't get fixed, our actual funding will drop below the stretch goal and we don't want that to happen because then the stretch goal doesn't happen so let's get them fixed!
In these next two weeks I will be finalizing the PnP (which will include the playmat), the rules for all versions and the tin stickers. Once the funds clear I will start ordering what I can for all editions. It may take time for parts to get in. We will regularly update all of you.
Some backers have asked about our other games. We are pleased to let you know that Brace For Impact!, Brace For Impact! playmats and Elements (Tin Version) will all be available as add-ons. Also, as mentioned in a previous update, the ceramic FALLOUT token and updated rules will also be available as an add-on.
If you have any questions feel free to contact us!
Until next time,
