So far, 87% of you have completed your surveys. Thank you!!! Without completed surveys, we cannot ship your rewards, so this is a very important step in the process.

On Monday, December 2, we will close the survey. At that time, those of you who have not yet completed your surveys will be refunded and removed from the project. For that reason, please handle your survey today.

Car Wars Sixth Edition

On Friday, November 29, we will launch Car Wars Sixth Edition here on Kickstarter. To receive email notification when the project launches, please click the "Notify me" button on this page. We hope to see many of you join us for this new edition of the classic game of autoduelling!

Hexagram #3 BackerKit Live & Car Wars Kickstarter Launches 11/29
over 4 years ago – Wed, Nov 20, 2019 at 06:25:33 PM

Hey folks!

Back again with a few things to share.

BackerKit Survey

As an update to last nights message, I just clicked the big button to let the surveys fly to your inbox. Keep a look out for those, or head to the THIS LINK to retrieve your survey information!

Car Wars Kickstarter Launch Date!

After years of hard work, we're launching Car Wars Sixth Edition on 11/29 (Black Friday!) on Kickstarter. The redesigned edition of the classic game of autoduelling features quicker play -- including significantly faster car design rules -- custom plastic miniatures, and everything two to four players need to dive in and start blasting each other.

As we prepare for the project launch, please click the "Notify me" button on this page. This will tell Kickstarter's systems to send you an email just as soon as we open the project for funding. And remember, you don't want to miss Uncle Al's Day One offer (first mentioned here). That's right, Uncle Al is back, and he's got a deal for those of you who join the project on the first day.

Please visit our Facebook page for more pics and info on the game, and check out the video below that was shot at Gen Con a few months ago. 

That's it for the news, but we hope you're excited for Hexagram #3 as well as Car Wars Sixth Edition!

As always, If you encounter any issues or have questions, please visit our help desk page, and let us know what we can do!

Thank you,

- Darryll

BackerKit Smoke Test Info and Hexagram #3 Samples!
over 4 years ago – Tue, Nov 19, 2019 at 11:11:12 PM

Hey all!

I hope everyone has had a nice start to the week. I have a couple of updates I wanted to share.

BackerKit Smoke Test

I hope to have this live here in the next hour or so. Going to do a few more checks to make sure things don't break out of the gate, and then surveys go out to a random number of backers within each pledge. 

For those that do get in, if you encounter anything weird, please email me directly ([email protected]) so I can take a look!

As promised, be on the lookout for The Fantasy Trip extras from the original campaign. Additionally, you'll find we included some of our new custom dice near the bottom of the addon page. Personally, I'm a fan of the retro Robot, Rocket, and Raygun d6's. 

**The BackerKit survey will close on December 2nd. To allow us to finalize orders and begin the shipping process, those that do not complete their survey by December 2nd will be removed from the campaign and have their pledge refunded. Please have everything wrapped up before December 2nd, because we really want to get these in your hands. 

Hexagram #3 Samples!

Pictures speak louder than words. 

We will be checking out these proofs soon, and then we will work with our printer to get these moving. Following that process we will have more news on when to expect your copy!

Thank you,

- Darryll

Onward And Upward!

Thanks to all of you for the excellent support. Hexagram #3 is done, done, done, and goes to press today. The survey will open later this month. Backers will have approximately a week to complete surveys. At that time, you will be able to order BackerKit items. After that, incomplete surveys will be refunded and the backers removed from the project so we can press on with timely fulfillment.

We didn’t know when Hexagram #4 might come out, but now we do. Kickstarter is doing a repeat of the “Zine Quest” event in February 2020, so that’s when we will aim for.

And exactly one playmat set is left. Phil, you did a great job of estimating demand!

I am already collecting material for Hexagram #4, and working on an article of my own.
