Thicker Boxes!

Hello, everyone! Today we are happy to talk about all the great Stretch Goals we unlocked together in the past two days! 

We have a lot going on, let's start!

Great upgrade for your boxes!
Great upgrade for your boxes!

First of all, you will now have a great upgrade on the boxes! It will be made of thicker cardboard stock, so it will be sturdier and more durable than the previous version.

Now you will rest assured that no matter the case, your game will be stored safely inside these boxes!

Three Building Cards!

It is the first time we unlocked Building Cards! Now your decks will have three additional Building Cards to add more replayability and depth, while you will also have the chance to admire three new original artworks from Travis!

Volfyirion's Roar!

We finally hit the Social Stretch Goal involving the 200 shares on Facebook! Thanks to your commitment and your word of mouth you will now have what you have been asking for in the comments! 

Ready to hear Volfyirion?

Your companion app will feature a button to release the Volfyirion's wrath!

Now you will have the opportunity to hear Volfyirion's roar anytime you want during the game and set the mood for a scarier and "dragonish" kind of scenario. 

Another Translation for the game rules!

We also want to share with you another community sourced translation! Your fellow backer Paweł Stróżyk has translated the Rulebook of Volfyirion into Polish! Thank you, Paweł, your commitment is really appreciated

Below you can find the link:

Saboteur's Rules!

Last but not least, your fellow backer METADNA shared with us a great idea about a new game mechanic a while ago. We discussed it with him and we really liked some aspects of it! We evolved it and developed it in a fully fledged mechanic that we have now added to the game as an optional variant that can deeply modify the game flow!

These two cards named Saboteur are Command Cards that create more interaction between the players since they allow to stall the deck of the opponent.

You will be able to acquire them from the Asset Row and when you do acquire them they end up in the opponent discard pile and they cannot be removed!

Considering that this suggestion came from METADNA and he has been one of our most active backers ever (since Mysthea!), we thought it was only fair to feature him in these two cards! 

This implies that his comments won't be counted for the last Weekly Challenge to ensure that everyone has the same opportunity to be featured inside the game, and he already told us he's fine with this!

We love to reward our backers in every way we can, and when we have these chances to make things more personal it always feels great to do it!

Less than 50 subscribers needed for the last Social SG!

We are almost there, let's crush this last Social Stretch Goal to add new exciting rules to the game!

5K Backers and 3rd Weekly Reward!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Nov 07, 2018 at 08:54:47 PM

Another milestone reached

Hello, fellow backers!

Today we achieved another great goal: we have reached 5000 backers, and this is a record for us, we never had this many backers in any project! Thank you all for the great support and love towards Volfyirion!

Thank you!
Thank you!

2nd Winner Artwork!

We can finally share with you the artwork of Gabriele that we received from Travis! He really did an amazing job in the creation of this artwork! Gabriele's picture featured him holding a heavy open book since he thought it would be appropriate for a Scholar to have such pose. We think it is pretty accurate, don't you? 

3rd Week Reward!

Now it is time to announce this Third Week Winner! The number of comments skyrocketed this past week and if it wasn't for our automated software it would have been really hard for us to choose a winner, because of all the names of highly active backers that popped up every single day this week. Volfyirion bless technology, then! :) 

Anyway, let's unveil the name of this Third Week, shall we? 

The most active & helpful backer who is going to get an artwork from Travis is:

Congrats!
Congrats!

You have been very committed to this campaign, both in engaging others in order to hit the stretch goals, and in replying to all sorts of questions your fellow backers were asking. Thus, Congratulations, Freddy, you deserve this!!

One more Rulebook Translation!

We also want to congratulate with our great backer Kwstas Fanakis (Kostas) for translating the rulebook in Greek! These community sourced translations allow our backers from other countries to have the rulebook in their languages and that is amazing!

Name of the Cities and Color Blind Cards!
over 5 years ago – Mon, Nov 05, 2018 at 10:49:19 PM

Such a committed community!

Hello everyone! We think a record has been hit: this card game has more than 5000 comments, a total success! Thank you all! Keep this campaign alive, keep being engaged and keep showing us your love for this game!

Mercenary Archers!

Today we unlocked the Stretch Goal you were eagerly asking for: Two Mercenary Archers! Now let's explain how the Mercenary type of cards are going to work! 

These mercenaries are elite Troops that decided to sell their talent to the highest bidder, but aren't fighting for a cause and surely they aren't willing to die for it. For this reason, if things get ugly while they are protecting a city, they will just think about their lives and go back to safety

Two new cards and rules!
Two new cards and rules!

Mechanically speaking, these cards will be considered as Troops and will add the Defense Points to the total amount of the city, making it harder to attack

The difference from a standard Troop is that if your opponent manages to have enough Attack Points to attack, the mercenary won't sacrifice itself and the City will be destroyed in place of the Troop. 

Where is the gain in using a mercenary, then? The amount of points they offer is really high compared to their cost, they are elite soldiers after all! 

Color Blind Upgrade!

After receiving some requests from our backers, we chose to upgrade the cards taking also into consideration our colorblind backers

Our Game Designers, together with our Graphic Designers, are working very hard to improve the cards so they will be colorblind friendly

In fact, they are adding a different shape for each banner and the respective icon representing the four houses. This way it will be easier for the color blind backers to distinguish a house from the other! Below you can see how the cards' banners will be upgraded.

We want you to name the Cities Names!

Now we are going to talk about the Names of the Cities! We read so many comments from our backers about this and we decided to go for it! We are so filled with joy anytime you backers bring a new idea to the table and this was one of your best ideas ever! 

After talking to the Game Designers we decided to make it happen because, since each city has its own identity, it is fair that they also deserve a name! Don't you think? For this reason we created a thread on Board Game Geek to give you all the chance to express your ideas. What name should the 6 cities have? 

Besides sharing your suggestions you can also vote by quoting a comment and adding +1 near each city name you prefer! We are so curious about the outcome. What will the most voted names be? Unleash your fantasy and bring it on!

These are all the cities, let's see your ideas!

A big box worthy of a huge dragon!
over 5 years ago – Sun, Nov 04, 2018 at 01:41:59 AM

How we will upgrade the boxes

Hey everyone! A lot of you asked more details about our previous Stretch Goal, so here we are!

First of all, the box of the Card Game will be bigger and it will fit sleeved cards, this was probably the most requested Stretch Goal ever and we are extremely happy we unlocked it! 

Bigger box for sleeved cards
Bigger box for sleeved cards

The box won't just be bigger though, we will also add a special insert to prevent unsleeved cards from bouncing around the box. You will just have to remove it in case you want to use sleeves. This way the box will fit both kinds of cards and make every backer happy! 

The Collector's Box will now fit two decks!

That's right! If you get a second deck add-on to play the 4 player game mode, you will have space to store it neatly inside the Collector's Box

Empty box, box with the mini + 1 deck, box with the mini + 2 decks
Empty box, box with the mini + 1 deck, box with the mini + 2 decks

The upper image is just a mockup to show you how we imagine this big box is going to be! As you can see, we decided to add a special insert in this box too, to ensure that there won't be any unnecessary empty space inside the box in the standard configuration with one deck.

We believe this solution will please everyone and, even if you get the second deck or not, the Collector's Box will contain everything you got!

Two additional Wonder Cards!

We just unlocked two more Wonder Cards with new original artwork! Watch how your decks get thicker and thicker by the day!

Real soon we will be able to unlock the long-awaited SG about Mercenary Archers, so stay tuned as you will know more about them!

Furthermore we are very close to unlock the Social Stretch Goals, keep up the good work in spreading the word! Volfyirion counts on you!
