Doar vre-o 7 luni...

Yes! We made it to the highly desired duel layered player boards goal. Now your bits won't be fulling off your board all the time like the do in the game Eclipse. The bits will now fit into a pit and stay put.

Next stretch goal is the Arbiter Pin that allows YOU to be the starting Arbiter in every game - which is nice!

Pai da!

We keep on chugging along, but we feel we need a little more gas...

We have updated several things in the campaign to help us get more revenue toward the stretch goals. Please consider adding some $ to your pledge with the MANAGE PLEDGE link to add a few items off our new menu! We have added:

- $8 for 110 premium sleeves to sleeve all the cards in the game. Since this is an odd number of cards in the game you'd normally have to buy 3 packs, but we'll send you all you need plus 5 extra to cover breakage for a cost less then 3 packs!

- We found a vendor to make us custom art sleeves. These can therefore have the actual card backs printed on them or any other art we decide. Since they are printed on demand, I suppose we could even print your name on them at a future funding level!

- We have also added a new REWARD level. Several people asked for our very popular game The Manhattan Project to be included in one of the levels by itself. So I made a level were you can choose one board game to add to your Hegemonic and it will include shipping so we must limit this to USA backers only. If you are on one of the CONTRIBUTOR levels and would like to take part in this deal, just add $40 to your pledge.

- Lastly I have added to the the $55,000 stretch goal an 4 page expansion to the manual for more examples and the house history/background creative.

WE WANT YOU!

One of the best ways for us to get to the stretch goals is for people to actively help spread the word of this campaign and the game concept/ideas. Reach out to forums and Facebook and twitter and more. Find odd places to mention the game that we haven't already cove red. Convince your friends they need a copy too

[mihai]

We have broken through the all important $50k stretch goal. On our way to $55k where we add more House leaders and back story added to the manual! Thank you all for the support!

Here's an updated version of the ARBITER button which lets you start any game as the ARBITER.

[mihai]

Sorry for the short notice, but it couldn't be helped...

Several people in the general WI / IL area said they'd like to try Hegemonic before the Kickstarter campaign finishes. So this is your only chance to do so as I just got a copy back from the reviewers!

Asta este insigna Arbiter:

Si astea sunt pungutzele de catifea pe care le primim daca se mai strang $8.000 in 7 zile:

[mihai]

Thanks for helping us reach the $55k stretch goal so that we have the funds to print the extra leader cards now. We also are expanding the manual by 4 pages to 20 pages to include more background and more examples!

GENERALS REWARD LEVELS

I have added 2 new reward levels (by request) to allow people to get The Manhattan Project and all it's expansions in one pledge level. One for USA ONLY and one for ESSEN PICKUP. The Second Stage expansion for Manhattan Project is due out late March so we'll ship all your addons and the TMP at that time.

LOWER PLASTIC GOAL!

I have reviewed our stretch goals and our realistic goal of reaching them and the costs involved and have decided that we can swap the Foil Box and Plastic BIts rewards around. So now the PLASTIC BITS will be given at the $70,000 goal instead of 80k!!! This is a reachable goal with everyone's help spreading the word and getting friends to chip in and jumping on the GENERALS reward levels to help out.

Thanks for all your support!

Go plastic! Go velvet!

[mihai]

Thank you all for your support. We and everyone else would really like to see the plastic bits be a reality so we need to make an extra effort to push and remind people of our campaign these last couple days.

If you have already pledges please consider upping your pledge to buy standard or custom sleeves from us as it'll help reach the goal.

If you want one of the best worker placement games out there (one that Tom Vasel says replaced Caylus on his shelf) - then consider changing your pledge to the GENERAL level to get a great deal on The Manhattan Project bundle.

update 1:

We are very close to plastic bits now! Keep spreading the words.

Several of you wanted something more to help out on the Ala-Carte menu so I found an item that I think you'll all appreciate. The game will come with a cardboard Arbiter token that is passed around during the game. This works, but we've really loved the one made for our prototype that is laser cut from acrylic.

So we're offering here and now for Kickstarter only backers the option for buying this special token for $5. Just manage your pledge and add $5 more and send us a message and/or accurately fill out the survey when it's sent to you when we're ready to ship. It would be nice to know ahead of time how many we need to hand craft though.

Thanks again for everyone support. Please consider posting on your Facebook page!

update 2:

OK all you by-standers who wanted to wait till this game hit the plastic miniatures stretch goal. We have hit it! Now you have no excuse not to pledge.

In fact - I'll go one step further and lower the custom exclusive foil box stretch goal to only $75,000. So you should buy now and not wait till it's in the stores much later.

SPREAD THE WORD! Only 24 hours left!

Thank you everyone for your support!

update 3:

Wow, you guys & gals have been doing great. So great that we're within $1k of reaching the Foiled / Digitally Signed KS only box! So just to challenge you great people a bit more, I lowered the Metal CAPs goal to $85k. This is to get a set of metal coins in addition to the cardboard ones that will come in the box as it is a KS exclusive. You will have to pay NOTHING extra for them!

If we don't meet this goal, it's very likely I'll run a short KS campaign for people to get the Metal CAP paying a reasonable fee for them ($8 or $10). We only need 300 people to participate for it to work.

O sa treaca de 75.000, dar la 85.000 nu prea au cum sa ajunga.
Oricum, e foarte bine!

Multumim din nou pentru ajutor, Mihai! Dam o bere la Sibiu!

[mihai]

doar o bere? sau o bere la fiecare joc pe care il jucam?:))

[DanielIndru]

O bere la fiecare joc pe care il jucam impreuna si Hegemonic e adus in discutie.

Eugen, zi si tu ceva, taica! Nu ma lasa singur!

[mihai]

Eugen e missing in action...)

pai o sa stabilesc ca in loc de un anumit cuvant sa folosesc mereu Hegemonic!:))

[adrim]

de exemplu, in loc de bere ai putea sa spui mereu Hegemonic
