Hi all! It's been just over a week since we funded Take the Throne and we have been busy preparing the next steps towards manufacturing!
The main focus at the moment is getting things ready for manufacturing and setting up the pledge manager. We are planning to use Backerkit as the pledge manager and will hopefully be able to have the pre order option live in the coming weeks for anyone who wasn't able to back the Kickstarter campaign.
For everyone who did back us during Kickstarter, we will communicate when the pledge manager will be available to complete your pledges, expect this towards the end of the year.
A reminder of the timeline we are working towards. We are aiming to have all the files ready by the end of October to the manufacturers, Whatz.
As you can see below, we have made some progress already with the cards, tokens and meeple ready to be submitted. The next components will take a little longer as we need to do the less exciting things like registering a barcode and business address to complete the game box but we are on it and aiming to be on track for end October.
All the cards are now ready and that includes the last stretch goal, Chaos! Jozsef has done an awesome job with this one, check it out below!
Plenty for us to do over the coming weeks and we are keen to crack on! We will provide updates in the next few weeks when we have the files ready and the pledge manager ready!
Any questions, just pop them in the comments section!

Wow! The campaign has just finished and we reached a total of £5,200 which is awesome!
We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who backed the campaign! You have helped us bring the game from our personal idea to a real game! We are super excited to crack on with the next steps and get the game manufactured.
We hit all the stretch goals so will get all the additional cards added into the game, as well as the linen effect cards and box/VP token upgrade.
For now we just want to say a huge thank you to all who backed and everyone who has helped us along the way. We will provide an update with the next steps in the coming days and will aim to provide regular updates on how the manufacturing and fulfilment is progressing, as well as when the pledge manager will open etc.
Until then we are going to celebrate and hope you will join us in doing so!
THANK YOU!!!

This is it! It feels like it has come around quickly but we are heading into the last 48 hours of the campaign!
Yesterday we also hit the £4,500 mark which means we have hit the Entrap stretch goal!
As usual, this means we can reveal a new stretch goal - The next one is a card upgrade to linen effect on all the cards in the game and will be unlocked at the £5,000 mark!
Let's see where we can get to in the final hours of the campaign! If you want to help share the word, feel free to share the kickstarter link on socials and thanks again to everyone for being part of the journey!

What a weekend! We have smashed the £4,250 stretch goal which means the thicker box upgrade has been unlocked. We are also super close to reaching the new Entrap Monarch card.
This means we can reveal the next stretch goal which is another new Monarch card - Chaos! This card will do exactly as the name suggests and cause chaos by forcing all house players to replace their cards with another one, chosen at random!
We will need to create the artwork for this one so cant share what the card will look like yet but will do so in a future update.
We are also fast approaching the end of the campaign! There are just under 3 days remaining until the end of the campaign which finishes on Friday AM. Let's see if we can hit the next stretch goals and get the new cards into the game!
New card unlocked! Plus Entrap stretch goal revealed!

After recovering from Airecon North West, we can confirm that the next stretch goal has been unlocked! After reaching £4,000 funded, the Ambush House card will now be included in all copies of Take the Throne!
That means we can reveal the next stretch goal which is a new Monarch card! Jozsef has been busy making the art for this one last week and is ready to share!
The Entrap card offers a big gamble for the Monarch player. At the end of the round, if a house player would take the throne, the Monarch will retain it instead! BUT if no one would take the throne, the Monarch must give the throne to another player AND give them 1 VP. So it's a great card to play if you think someone else will take the throne but comes with some risk!
The card will be unlocked at £4,500, after the thicker box upgrade. Check it out below!
We are approaching the last week of the campaign now so close to the final stretch! Lets see if we can reach all the new stretch goals before the end of the campaign!
