New Kingdom: Sowers PNP & Pledge Manager

Big Updates: PNP, Pledge Manager, and Physical Printing!

Inside this update you'll find:

• Details about the pledge manager,
  
• Updates on Print and Play (PNP) files,
  
• A message about a mistake I made titled OOPS!
  
• A timeline for physical games,
  
• And an invitation to our next project: Prestige
  

Most importantly, I want to share with you that the games are already being printed. Check out the photos I received from the factory this morning.

Pledge Manager: The pledge manager is live! You should get invites in your inbox for the email you use to back projects in Kickstarter. That is important because I know sometimes people are looking in another inbox for invites. If you are having trouble finding it by Friday please email or message me. Fill it out quickly as this pledge manager will only be open until June 30th!

PNP Files: If you backed at a pledge tier that included PNP files those have been delivered via Kickstarter messages. I will email them to you as well. If you would like them delivered a different way please reach out to me and I can send them to you at my company email jack@newkingdomgaming.com

OOPS! I made an error with the pledge manager and did not discount the shipping tiers prior to sending surveys. Unfortunately, once you hit send there's no going back on such a thing! So, if you want your discount for $1 off US Shipping or $2 off International shipping please email me or message me and I will get you a coupon code to use in Hive to knock that price down. I'm so sorry about that. I got excited and forgot to double check that detail. UGH!

Physical games: I will run the pledge manager for a VERY SHORT window through the end of the month (June 30th) for anyone who missed out on the Kickstarter. These games will be shipped as soon as I can get an export out of Hive and over to Send From China. So I expect them to ship sometime in July and they should be delivered to all of you amazing backers in August provided there are no unforeseen issues.

Gardeners: I will ship out copies of Gardeners once a week to completed pledges in the pledge manager. It would be easier to send them out all at once when the pledge manager is completed, but I have the games and want to get them to you as soon as I can! Thanks for buying Gardeners in this campaign if you did.

Finally: Our next project Prestige: The Citybuilding Game is crowdfunding through Backerkit in July. This is a departure from my usual practice of using Kickstarter, but I think it will help keep things straight this summer.

What is it? It is not biblically-themed, but the theme is appropriate for Christian families. It's a semi-cooperative, card laying, city building game meaning you all either lose or succeed together, but if you succeed there is only one winner! Designed by Fritz Paull, this game is really amazing. I'm not the designer, so I can tell you as one of the game's biggest fans it's objectively great (okay I am a little biased).

Why I liked it enough to publish it: It plays fast with elegant strategic decisions to make like our other games and the end game scoring is quick and easy - no accounting! Not that I'm opposed to accounting =)

What else? This game is full of theme with incredible art, guest writing from professional authors, lots of replay value, a very strong solo play mode, and some really interesting player interactions. To learn more join us in the Prestige Facebook Group or follow on Backerkit!

Thank you for reading Sowers! I really appreciate your support. Thanks for being willing to take a risk on me and my small business. I'm so grateful for you.

Until next time...

Happy Sowing,

Jack, Lindsey, Ruby, and player number 4 coming in November!
