Take the Throne: A card game of tactics and deceit!

Stretch goal introduction
8 months ago – Thu, Aug 07, 2025 at 01:39:16 PM

Hi all!  It's been a few days since we hit the funding target and we thought it would be a good time to give a quick overview of the stretch goals in the campaign!

We want to make the stretch goals in the campaign achievable, as we want to make the game the best it can be for everyone.  For this reason we have made the stretch goals in small increments, starting at £3,500.  Many of the stretch goals are extra cards to really add variability to the game!

Currently we have two stretch goals revealed, both of which are house cards - Raven and Ambush

The Raven card was suggested to us by the guys at Boxed Meeples and is a real sneaky card!  If exactly one remains in play at the end of the turn, the house player can take 1 VP from another player.. BUT if more than one is played, it does nothing!

It is used in 4+ player games as it can be too powerful in lower player counts!

The Ambush card gives house players a chance to set a trap for potentially big VP and would be the only way a house player can score 2 VP on a turn. If it is discarded or swapped (e.g. from a sabotage house card or a raid monarch card) before it is revealed on your turn, you gain 2 VP.  Otherwise it does nothing.  So a big gamble but potentially big reward too!

Both of the cards could be substituted in to a house player's set of cards to add variability from the core cards.

Currently we sit at around £3,250 so are very close to unlocking the Raven card!

To help us get there, feel free to share the campaign on your socials.  Hopefully we can reach it in the next week or so and can then reveal some new stretch goals!  The remaining ones are a mix between component upgrades and more additional cards so keep an eye out for future updates! 

We are funded!!

We have officially hit the funding target for Take the Throne!!

After a strong weekend, last night we ticked over the £3,000 target required for us to make the game a reality!

We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has backed the game so far and for making this happen.  This has been our focus and goal for the last couple of years and it now means we can proceed to produce the game.  More than that, it will hopefully lay the foundations for us to make even more games in the future. Thanks also to so many people who have helped us to get here - Every little bit of advice or feedback on the game has helped shape it, so we are super grateful to everyone who has input to make Take the Throne what it is today.

We still have 25 days left of the campaign and still have plenty of work to do, including attending Airecon in a couple of week's time.  Let's see how far we can get and we can hopefully start hitting the stretch goals soon!  We have 2 of them already revealed in the campaign and plan to reveal some more soon!

Thanks again and let's see where we can hit from here!!
