We have just hit the £3,750 funding mark which means the upgraded VP tokens stretch goal has now been unlocked! All copies of the game will have the thicker 2mm VP punchboard tokens included.
This means we can reveal our next stretch goal which is another upgrade, this time increasing the thickness of the game box. This one will be unlocked at £4,250 after the Ambush card at £4,000.
We are at Airecon this weekend, where we can hopefully show the game to more people and help unlock the next stretch goals! The next one to be revealed will be a new card which we are working on with Jozsef at the moment and will be able to reveal soon!
First stretch goal reached = New stretch goals!

We have just hit the first stretch goal of the campaign! This means the Raven card will be added to every copy of the game! 4 copies will be added, one for each house.
This means we can reveal a new stretch goal! We have decided to do things a little differently and add in new increment of £3,750.
The new stretch goal is for thicker VP tokens, moving from 1.5mm to 2mm punchboard to give a nicer feel to the tokens in the core version!
The Ambush card will remain the same level, so will be the next stretch goal at £4,000.
Once we hit these, we will reveal the next wave of stretch goals, including more upgrades and new cards!
Focus on the 'Design your own house' pledge!

Hi all! A quick update to focus a little more on the 'Design your own house' pledge!
To help reach some of the stretch goals we have also just reduced the price of this pledge from £250 to £150!
The pledge is a chance to put your own stamp on Take the Throne by designing one of the four houses in the game. What does that mean? Well currently, there are four houses - the non monarch players. Each has the house logo on the back of their cards. This pledge would allow you to design your own house to be included in all copies of the game!
You would get to choose the house colours, house symbol, latin phrase for the back of the cards and the house backstory to be included in the rulebook.
This pledge is for anyone who wants to put their unique design into the game and with the lowered price could be a nice upgrade. Check it out in the rewards section of the campaign!
Currently we are just below the target for the first stretch goal and we can reveal some new ones once we hit these!
Stretch goal introduction

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!!
