The Home Stretch
over 2 years ago – Sat, Oct 09, 2021 at 01:41:47 AM

Hi there,

We've come a long way together and this is the Home Stretch. The final 48 hours of this campaign have started. Let's spread the word one last time! After the campaign ends we'll revert back to the webshop where the prices return to normal, so these are the final hours to get the good deal that we offer on Kickstarter.

We'd like to share with you this video by Man vs. Meeple, who made this great First Look of Eastern Empires.

You can also find it on the main campaign page. Alongside the awesome in-depth Jon Gets Games playthrough, that really serves you when you are trying to get your first game of Eastern Empires going at home.

Paint those mini's!

Hi Everyone,

The amount of people that have backed our project is extremely awesome. Thanks once again, also to those who just recently arrived to the party. In this update I'd like to spend a bit of time on the marvelous option you have to paint the mini's of both the Special Buildings Expansions. We've had someone at the office paint these mini's for your enjoyment. Have a look.

Recent Western Empires buyers

For people who have bought Western Empires we've put the following message in the comment section: The current price of Western Empires is to stimulate the kickstart initiative. However, if there is an enthusiast who has bought WE on august 1. 2021 or later, and you are buying Eastern Empires here on Kickstarter, please reach out to us on email: [email protected] and we will try and come to a solution. Although Western Empires is an older game and promotions can happen from time to time.

Lastly we would like to bring your attention to this contest hosted by Board Game Revolution, where you can win a copy of Eastern Empires.

Heya!

We're back with something very interesting. We've uploaded the designer diary to BGG. Flo the Haan one of the authors of Eastern Empuires has written this very interesting story, documenting the whole development of Eastern Empires. Go ahead and have a read over at Board Game Geek.

Add-ons

There have been a few questions as to how to add-on the Eastern and Western Special Buildings Expansion. Very important to notice is that you can't add the Special Buildings Expansions when you only pledge the historian level of €1,-.

Once you did those addition your final pledge should look like this:

We hope you will be able to add the mini's with this mini tutorial (pun intended). Be aware that through prior production and sales we only have a limited stock of the Western Empires Special Buildings Expansions available.

I’d like to remind you all that this is the perfect opportunity to add 1 or both of the Special Buildings Expansion to your pledge. Their cost is exceptionally low at this moment.
