Strong demand for the 2-player map for ESP

Dear backers,
The survey about 1807 has already been sent out, and many of you have already responded. I was amazed at the large number of orders for the 2-player map of 18ESP. This particular mapboard was actually intended as a gift for my friend and co-author Enrique, and I thought, "I'd make a few more, maybe some other people would want to buy it too." The limit of 100 pieces was meant to mean there would be enough for everyone. But the 100 cards were quickly ordered, so I deleted the limit. There will be enough 18ESP 2-player-mapboards for everybody.
All the best

Additional Add-ons

Dear Backers,
The layout is almost finished, all the files will be send to my producer within the next two weeks.
You will soon receive an email from "BackerKit". They ask you to confirm your address and if you want to purchase additional games. They will also add the shipping costs.
First only 5% of the backers will receive this survey mail. This is the smoke test to see if everything works right. After a few days the rest of you will receive the survey.
You have enough time to answer this survey - at least until the end of June. I will send out a reminder message before the deadline is reached.
Additional Add-ons
In the survey you will see that I offer additional add-ons:
18ESP extra map for the 2-player version: 18ESP comes with a 2-player version. This requires laying a few track tiles for the setup. Furthermore, a quarter of the mapboard is redundant. This extra game board is smaller and the setup is pre-printed. Limited to 100 copies.
Costs: € 12.
1824 and 18CZ: I still have copies of them in my warehouse. Due to storage problems it is possible that the track tiles show some mold. Therefore an extra stack of track tile punch boards are added.
Costs € 70 each.
Kind regards
Lonny

Dear backers,
398 of you made this project come true. My deepest thanks to all of you.
What happens next?
Almost all the files are already finished, I am working on the German rulebook and on the income table (the stretch goal which was reached some days ago).
Once they are finished I will send the files to my manufacturer Jade in China. Production and shipping will take four or five months. I have a warehous in Kentucky, USA and a warehouse in Austria, Europe. From Kentucky some copies are shipped to boardgamebliss in Canada. They will distribute them among the Canadian backers. From Austria copies are shipped to firestorm games, they will distribute them among the British backers. All Asian and Australian backers will receive their copies directly from China.
In about two weeks you will receive an email from backerkit.com. They ask you to confirm your address and to pay the shipping costs. I also offer other games as add-ons, feel free to pick one or the other to add to your order.
Again thank you for supporting us!

Next stretch goal unlocked

Dear backers,
only 24 hours left. Another stretch goal was unlocked: An income table and additional tokens for each company to indicate their earnings. I am happy that this goal was reached.
The next stretch goal would be a special priority marker. During the last years it became a tradition that a typical figure (mostly an animal) is added as priority deal marker. My last project "18ESP" comes with an Iberian lynx.
It was Ian's suggestion that 1807 should have a bulldog, a typical synonym for the United Kingdom.
Thanks again for your support!

Dear backers,
we reached our first stretch goal. Thank you very much!
A sheet with the tile manifest and an upgrade table will be added. Have a look:
And I want to announce that Lonny Games will attend the game fair "Spiel 25" in Essen, Germany. The fair is scheduled from Thursday, Oct 23rd, until Sunday, Oct 26th. This year I will have my own booth. It will be possible to pick up your game there to avoid shipping costs. I will keep you informed with booth number and other details.
All the best
Lonny
