Latest Updates from Our Project:

Housecarl level backers - last chance to update your pledges!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Oct 06, 2020 at 03:20:16 AM

My Lords and Ladies,

the pledge manager is now locked. All of you can still change your address (we will be locking addresses separately) and we still have a number of people with the Housecarl pledge who have not upgraded their pledge.

If you are a backer of the Housecarl level, make sure to update your pledge within the next 48 hours!

After this time, we will mark any Housecarl level pledges as cancelled. If you upgrade until then, we will e able to proceed with working on your copies of Dark Ages.

Thank you for help!

Last call! Pledge manager closing! Important news on charging cards!
over 3 years ago – Fri, Oct 02, 2020 at 03:13:47 AM

My Lords and Ladies!

In but a few hours we will lock your orders in the pledge manager! Please make sure that they are in order, as after closing, you will only be able to edit your addresses!

Also, since we had requests from many of you, asking for more time before cards are charged. This is why we will charge your cards in late Devember or early January. We hope that those of you who asked us for more time find this helpful.

Have a great day (and rush to fill that pledge manager if you have not!)

First rulebook is here! Community feedback most welcome! Pledge manager closing tomorrow!

My Lords and Ladies!

With cards and cardboard elements of Dark Ages now ready, we are at the stage when it is also the time to close the rulebooks. Below you will find the link to the Holy Roman Empire rules, including all modules assigned to this set and the full solo rules by Dávid Turczi. Before that happens, however, one very important reminder:

--

Attention! Pledge manager closes on October 1st!

Please remember to update your carts (and addresses) and make sure you have a valid credit card attached to your account, as we will also be charging your cards!

--

The link below will lead you to a file on Dropbox. As mentioned above, this is the Holy Roman Empire rulebook. The Heritage of Charlemagne rules will be done after we have completely dealt with this rulebook, as a large part will remain almost identical (with different player colours and some game elements updated to a different geographical region). This way, all of your suggestions from this wave of community feedback will be implemented when we get into finishing the Heritage rules.

When helping us out and providing suggestions, please do not leave any comment directly on Dropbox! Instead, please put them in the comments of this update (not the main comment section). If you would like to leave comments directly in the pdf, you can also download them and them send them directly to me: for that please use the address blazej (at) boardanddice (dot) com.

The file will be avaialable until Friday, October 9th. During the working hours of his day, the links below will become inactive.

Here is the link you can copy into your browser:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ja1a11zkowamg8/DA_HRE_Beta.pdf?dl=0

You can also click on this sentence to get to the rules.

Once again, we'd like to thank in advance all of you who spend the time to help us out with final corrections! Dark Ages is closer to becoming a great game, and it is thanks to you all!

Have a great day!

Pledge Manager Closing and other news.
over 3 years ago – Tue, Sep 29, 2020 at 09:38:33 PM

My Lords and Ladies,

this shorth update is to remind you all that

on October 1st the pledge manager will be CLOSED

Make sure to make all your choices before that time. You will be able to change your address afterwards, but making any other changes in your pledges will not be possible. We will also be charging your cards upon locking. If you haven't done so yet, read Update #20 and make sure your pledge is up to date.


In other news, within the next 24 hours we will have the rules to the Holy Roman Empire up for public feedback, for the next 7-10 days. All details will follow in a separate update.


Thank you and have a great day!

Yet another quick update
over 3 years ago – Wed, Sep 23, 2020 at 08:27:43 AM

My Lords and Ladies!

Since we've been silent for over two weeks, this update is here to simply tell you that work is commencing! Cards have been finished some time ago (with your awesome help), and we've also locked all punchboard components. We are right now in the process of designing an insert for the game, and closing work on the rulebook. We expect to have the rules for community feedback available within two weeks from now.

Also, sorry for being repetitive, but we need to remind you that on October 1st BackerKit will close (while addresses will still be open to be updated). If you have not done that already, please take a moment and fill in your pledge manager:

Have a great week,
