Welcome back, recruits!
We hope you had a lovely Valentine's / Big Game weekend! We are back with a recap of the latest unlocks and a new pledge level featuring the highly requested Accessory Pack!
New Pledge Level!
After many requests, we have decided to create an Accessory Pack for those who would like to do a little pre-build work. It's a little hard to see here but the dice are TRANSLUCENT.
This has been added as a new pledge level All In PLUS Accessory Pack. We already have an all-in with the playmat, and we can't edit that title on Kickstarter, so All-In Plus made the most sense. ;)
We also added updated shipping info to the campaign page to reflect the new level as well.
If you are just wanting the Accessory pack and not the playmat, you will be able to add this on in the pledge manager after the campaign.
Daily Milestones - New Weapons, Tech, and an Upgrade!
Astro Knights has a six-deck supply where each deck is made up of many different cards shuffled together, divided up by card type and cost, and players can only buy the current top card of each stack.
Players need to adapt their strategies to what is currently available. Everyone’s decks will end up very different, even if you have two players fulfilling the same role on the team (damage dealer, support, etc.)
Also, your cards are now all 40 GSM thicker with our Sunday milestone unlock!
That is a lot of info for today so we will stop here but will be back tomorrow with a closer look at our Heroes! Until then we will see you in the comments and of course, over on BGG!
New Boss Revealed! + A correction & a tweak!

Welcome back, recruits, and Happy Friday!
Today we just have a couple of quick updates/corrections and of course today we revealed a NEW BOSS for the Orion System Expansion!
Correction on Milestones
Yesterday's milestone was mistakenly marked as promo and it is a KS Exclusive and the New Boss was meant to be a promo (in the Orion System Expansion.) This has been fixed up and the updated images are below and on the campaign. :)
NEW BOSS!!!!!!
We saw that, too...
Some of you have noted in the comments some potentially weak areas on the Knight Mats, we saw those, too, and are adjusting the design for each hero as needed. Here is an example:

Tantrum House did a 4-player playthrough! Was an exciting game. Check it out here:

Here is a look at the prototype we sent out to media that you have seen in the videos. Pop over and leave a comment or thumb!
We'll be back with our next update after the weekend. Until then stay tuned to the campaign for daily milestones and chat with us in the comments!
Astro Knights Bump Proof Player Mats & Extra Copies Shipping Added!
almost 3 years ago
– Wed, Feb 23, 2022 at 12:32:00 PM
Welcome back, recruits!
We wanted to share some important updates to the campaign in this update so we will get right to it!
A number of backers (and reviewers, and playtesters) requested that we make some improvements on the player mats. So we went back to the drawing board to just that. We are happy to showcase our "Bump Proof" mats:
The Knight Boards will now have cutouts for the player markers. This upgrade is included with your copy of Astro Knights!
Today's Milestone - New Tech!
For those of you looking for group shipping, here you go!
There are now two charts in the shipping & taxes section. The first chartshows how much shipping & taxes by region for each pledge level. The second chart (displayed above as well as below the shipping graphic on the campaign page) shows how much extra it is to add an additional copy of Astro Knights. Note, you only pay the shipping amount for your region once, the additional copy price includes any additional shipping costs (and VAT/Taxes for US, Canada, EU, UK & Australia).
To get your total - add your pledge level cost, plus the regional shipping charge for that pledge level, plus the regional amount for each additional copy times the number of additional copies you want to add.
For Example:
You are in the US and want two copies of Astro Knights - Pledge $88 ($39 + $34 + $15 shipping) at the Astro Knights ($39) pledge level. (This example is for two $39 pledge levels.)
Too complicated? You can manually change your pledge during the Kickstarter, but you can also wait to do all of this in the pledge manager (sent about a week after the project closes) where prices will be calculated for you.
Whatever you decide to do, you will have to complete the pledge manager to get your rewards. We don't have your mailing address if you don't complete the pledge manager.
Every copy of Astro Knights sent as rewards will include the stretch goals.
SO HOT RIGHT NOW!
We are on the hotness! Let's keep it going. Check out these images and give us your thumbs:

Welcome back, recruits!
It's been a great start and now is the time for our next briefing...
First, we want to address multi-copy shipping and the player mats by saying there will be updates on both of these topics very soon we hope you will be very excited about!
We know these are both hot topics in the comments so we wanted to let you know we are working on it and are simply wrapping up a few things before we give a full update.
LIVESTREAM HAPPENING NOW(ISH)!
Tune in to watch All the Meeples of the Rainbow answer the call to save us all - starting very soon! 5 pm Central in fact!
Can't make it? No worries, Steph will post the replay for us after and you can watch it on your own time.
A closer look at the neoprene playmat
For those of you wanting to see the playmat in use, our team mocked this up for you to check out! Please note the color may vary based on your screen settings but we did incorporate the darkening that should happen from the print itself and the material to get it close for you. What do you think?

Welcome, Astro Knights!
Thank you for helping us fund our mission. The team on the Lab Ship Athena has perfected the Star Cores that will fuel our journey ahead. Are you ready to take up the mantle and help save us all?
About your Mission
Over the next few weeks, we will be unlocking Daily Goals that will create the Orion Expansion.
The first milestone was to fund and since we have added our first item, a new homeworld card!
KEEP IT HOT (on BGG)
We need your help to spread the word - more Astro Knights are needed! One way to help us do this is to engage with our content on BGG which helps move it to the various "hotness" lists for others to see.
For instance, we could use your thumbs on these images:
