For Grail Games’ 10th birthday we are going back to our roots! Pledge now for these 4 great card games, including Bottle Imp!
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
Hi again to our Card Collection backers - I hope everyone has been doing OK! This is a brief update to let you know that over the next day everyone will receive an email from BackerKit saying our pledge manager will be closing in 48 hours. This is a reminder for those who have yet to complete their pledge manager, but the most important reason to notify you of this is so you can prepare for your cards to be charged (if needed) :) Thanks again for your support!
This does not mean you will not be able to edit your address etc., into the future (we will warn you when those will be locked).
Production update
I am happy to let you know that production is roughly 50% complete. What I mean by that is the games have been printed but have yet to be fully assembled and packed. I will let you know when this is complete and when (roughly) they may be getting themselves onto shipping containers.
Thanks again, and if you have any questions, please ask.

Hope all is well - I just wanted to check in with everyone :)
The pledge manager will still be live for one month (we opened it earlier than expected), and I thank all our supporters who have had the time to complete it already. If anyone has any issues or questions regarding it, please ask. Addresses, etc., will remain editable for a long time yet, so do not worry if you move or your circumstances change.
Every one of our titles is already in the hands of the printers and at some point of the production process. As situations change we will update you. Here are the two major developments to report this update...
FYI our next campaign has just launced on Gamefound and we hope you may check it out! Snowcrest is a tableau-building card game for 1-4 players about appeasing mystical creatures and uncovering secret knowledge. Click the image below to check it out!
Thanks! Our next update may be a few weeks away. In the meantime, feel free to reach out if needed.

We have just launched the "smoke test" for Backerkit which means 5% of you will get your Backerkit plaedge manager email invite. Assuming that goes well the rest of the emails will go out about 24 hours later.
The system is pretty straight forward but we do have a quick guide below for anyone who's never used Backerkit before. (The pledge manager is how you can add on extra games, or simply confirm your pledge. It's also how we collect your shipping addresses.)
If you have any questions please submit a ticket through our website here: https://www.grailgames.games/contact
ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: I accidentally incorrectly entered the add-on prices for the games in the Kickstarter. Some were $1 cheaper than intended, one was $1 more. Of course, we will honour the cheaper price if you added-on those games during the campaign. If you were charged $1 too much, there will be a $1 credit in your pledge manager. Sorry about that!! Any add-ons added during the pledge manager will have the correct - as advertised - price for backers.
We'll have more news on the production of the four games for you soon...!
> Welcome Screen
This is where you’ll be able to select the country in which your game will Ship or Switch your Pledge Level (If you backed at $1 for Example).
Just click on the blue text just under "Your Pledge Level" and you can select any of the pledges from the drop-down menu
Click "Get Started" to continue, or "switch your pledge level" to do that.
> Questions
Since we don't have any open questions we need from you, this section is largely just a reminder that your Kickstarter items are already in your cart. You'll be able to add more copies in the next step.
> Add-Ons
In this part of the Pledge Manager, you’ll be able to add additional items to your pledge such as extra copies of the games.
You’ll see your shipping fees here which will increase depending on which extras you choose. Shipping is weight-based so the costs will be dependent on the weight of your items.
PLEASE NOTE If you don't have a country selected before this screen (as often happens if you are doing a Late Pledge), shipping defaults to show "Rest of World" prices. Once you enter your address on the next screen it will fix itself.
If you live in a country where VAT is applicable you’ll also see VAT fees here. Please note that VAT is based on the amount charged for the items and shipping.
> Shipping
Then there is the “Shipping" section where you’ll have to fill in all your details so we can ship your games to you as soon as everything is printed and ready! All there is left to do is click “Next” and confirm your Pledge.
If your Kickstarter account is linked through an Apple ID, it might not deliver the BackerKit survey email. Please submit a ticket in this case.
You’ve missed the campaign and still want to join in? Or have a friend who'd like to pledge?
Anyone can join us in our Late Pledge through this link:
https://grail-games-2024-card-game-collection.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
The pledge manager is due to close its doors on May 15th.
But the surveys will still be editable for a few months after that, so if you move, etc., you will be able to use the link in your emails to return to the pledge manager and edit your address, etc., for some time.
You can also return to your pledge manager any number of times to change your items if you change your mind :)
Backers should check out our previous update for the promo code for our European partner's webstore!
That's it for this update, have a great day everyone!
