Hey everyone!
I hope the new year is off to a great start for all of you!
Let's begin this update with an important communication: the Pledge Manager is going to close on February 15th.
Then, from that date we will collect funds through BackerKit within a week.
Last chance to purchase add-ons!
So, for the backers who have not completed the survey yet,HURRY UP!!! Contact us through a private message here on Kickstarter and we will recover your survey. Do it now! (If you miss this, we couldn't be able to deliver you the game!).
A quick reminder: you will be able to change your shipping address after the pledge manager closes. In fact, a few weeks before shipping begins you will be notified via email in order to prompt you to change your address if necessary.
Artwork Update
The project is currently undergoing the design and artwork finalisation step. Let's show some new pieces of artwork! The Hero Skins (available as Add-on) have been fully illustrated, let's welcome the Frozen Land Heroes!
The full Team of the Frozen Land Skin pack!
Then, here are the new Action cards we have added to the game as a Christmas gift!
And finally why not adding here some cool new Monsters too ;)
We are close to have the full game illustrated and it is really amazing! Just like you, I cannot wait to see the final game hitting the table :)
As always, thanks for your great support.

Hi everyone!
First of all, we remind you that the Survey deadline is December 30th!!! You still have about a week to answer and complete the procedures on BackerKit. Please, consider that we need to collect all your shipping and add-ons information in order to proceed with the next step in the fulfillment and manufacturing organization.
Most of all, if you don't complete the Survey, we won't be able to fulfill your reward! If you have lost your Survey email, or you have never received one, you can click here (https://elodarkness.backerkit.com/) to reach the survey recovery page! Enter your Kickstarter email address to receive another survey link.
Note: Since many of you have asked for it, the credit cards will be charged only later during the process once we will close the pre-order store on BackerKit (end of January/early February).
Well, now it's time to celebrate Christmas! :)
Alberto joking with Christmas hats :D
In order to thank all of you once again for your incredible support, we got a little gift for you: 4 new Action cards added to the game!!!
Waiting for illustrations... ;)
new Action cards: Brush, Cleaning, Counter Jungling and Call
Meanwhile the playtest of all the new unlocked components is progressing and a great news is that we decided to implement the possibility to buy up to 5 item cards during the game. Thanks to this, the strategic possibilities grow as well as the depth in the Item deck creation, thinking about combos and synergies. Also, from the thematic point of view, the feeling of building your heroes is now stronger than ever :)
In order to make the board cleaner, we are designing a dedicated Item Shop sheet. (a new element which is also going to be added to the game!)
Item Shop!
deck crafting on TTS !
From the pictures you can see that we are also working on an overall graphic improvement of the gameboard. The Gank Area is being redesigned to be more intuitive and streamlined, while the Experience track has also become more functional and awesome too (thanks to our backer FiNeX).
fighting in the Arena is now much neater
current design of the 2vs2 Arena
Another upgrade in the design is the Influence margin track. It allows players to easily track the difference between their total Influence values during the Challenges.
This makes it a lot easier to see which player is winning the fight keeping count of your Influence (without tokens or memory overload!). It also reminds us of the feeling of pushing forward the Lane!
playtesting the new Influence track
For this improvement we have to thank Luca Ricci, one of our backer who suggested it during the KS campaign! It is a very smart idea :)
Moving on, here is a sneak peak of the artwork in progress. Two new Hero Skin illustrations: Saerah and Cornelia, from the Frozen Land.
Pinch would love to steal all your presents!
That's all for this month, we really hope you will have great Christmas holidays and a very happy new year!
Best wishes from all the Reggie Games team.
Tommaso, Alberto and Laura
Quick Note on the Survey!

Hey everyone!
Through this quick update I just want to give you some further information about what you're going to find in the pledge manager.
ELO Darkness Sleeve Packs!
Sleeves Add-on
We decided to have transparent squared Item card sleeves. Why? The reason is that many of you have expressed the desire to have the upgraded version of the Item cards on the back of their respective basic version.
After discussing it, also with our graphic designer, we all agreed that this is the best solution being intuitive and comfortable not only from the gameplay perspective, but also in terms of game component organisation on the table.
Note: Of course, standard sleeves (63x88mm) will be customized instead.
Multiple Copies
In the pledge manager, as a shipping fee related to multiple copies orders, you will find the multiplied basic shipping cost.
Of course there will be a discount by shipping 2 or more copies to the same address for sure. Simply, at this stage, we don't have enough information to calculate the exact prices. Instead of giving you rough estimates, we will release a special coupon giving you the correct discount on the total shipping price for multiple copies once we will have the final costs (thanks BackerKit for this new feature!).
That's all for now! Check your in-box in the next days ;)

BackerKit Survey + Artwork Update

Hi everyone!
First of all,
thanks to all of you for your inspiring ideas, your initiatives and your enthusiasm. I have to say we are very excited to see how such a positive and truly passionate community is growing around the project!
The Pledge Manager is ready
During these weeks we have worked hard to organize information and complete all the shipping related calculations in order to set up the pledge manager on BackerKit. Here we are, finally everything is ready!
You are going to receive an email from us with the link to your BackerKit survey. The scheduled date is November 30th. Of course, it's important to respond as quickly as you can since we need this information to organize the fulfillment process.
When you receive the email with the survey, just click the survey link to respond. You will be asked to insert your name (the name that we will include in the rulebook) and to provide shipping information. Also you could purchase add-on items if you like :)
Note: You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey! After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time by clicking the link in your survey email.
Artwork Update
Now it's time to have a look at the new art developed during the last month ;)
"You will notice me... when it's too late"
"Beyond good and evil, there stands justice"
"I personally load my cannon with iron and bad intentions"
"Don't be fooled by appearances"
New Hero cards preview
Now, what are we going to do in the next month?
Our schedule before Christmas is exciting and full of important objectives:
Keeping up the artwork finalisation. The next steps are: - the "Frozen Land" Hero Skins (looking forward to showing them to you!) - the Gank Area graphic improvement on the gameboard - the Camp tokens design - the remaining 21 illustrations of the item cards for the BRB Go To Shop Expansion Pack!
Completing the playtest of the stretch goals components. Some unlocked content still need a final test-drive. The quality of the game comes first.
Finalising the cardboard tray of the box: one tray to fit it all! As promised, we want to design the inside of the box so as to contain and organize all the cards in the game even if they are sleeved! More details will be released as soon as the design is ready.
From now on, we will post regular updates releasing them around the 24th calendar day of each month. This means we will be back in time for Christmas with every news, improvements and artwork previews.
For now, check your in-box in the next days for the BackerKit survey!
Again, thank you all for making this real. We really look forward to bringing this game to your table.
