Will there be other language versions of Dark Ages?

Dark Ages will only be published in English and German (the latter only if the Spieleschmiede campaign funds).

Can I really play a four player game in 3 hours?

Absolutely! We’ve made it one of key design points to make sure that we deliver an epic experience that can fit into a moderately long evening of gaming. The times given in the basic stats have been taken from multiple test games with different numbers of players.

Will this game be available in retail? What is the exclusive content?

Dark Ages will not see a retail release. There will be some copies available in stores after we deliver the games (as there are some retailer pledging for this game) but apart from that, you will never see Dark Ages on store shelves. Hence, the whole game is limited to crowdfunding.

Is this game colourblind friendly?

Yes. The faction colours have been specifically selected and tested on human beings ;-) Resources, although in standard colours, have icons and different production buildings. Also, when the time comes to go to production, we will inspect physical samples of all components before pulling the trigger.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
