Good lord Chris! I have just finished unboxing and assembling everything. The amount of care and detail that went into everything shows a lot! It's simply such a treat to see everything come together. The production on the game is beyond anything I've backed before, considering how much this was, I'm surprised you are breaking even! Can't wait to play this game with my partner! Kudos for the amazing campaign, I'm super impressed

I just wish all my extra cardboard and expansion had a home that wasnt a baggie. But overall everything fit including the expansion. Well done!

@BellowsIntent4 ай бұрын
We evaluated that early on and decided not to offer the mechanical player boards as an upgrade to the Core Edition of An Age Contrived, at least not for the first printing. The main reasons are that (a) it would be an expensive upgrade to manufacture and sell and (b) the mechanical player boards will not fit in the box of the Core Edition, so would need their own storage solution. It’s possible that will change if there is strong interest in such an upgrade after the game is released, in which case we would probably offer it as part of a new crowdfunding campaign.
