Xenoshyft Kickstarter Q&A:

[Leif]

If you have any questions or concerns about the kickstarter feel free to ask them here.

 

[JonCoulson]

Has there been any update or decision made about the winner for the book competition yet?

 

[Leif]

@jonCoulson Our editor is working his way through them and selecting the best of the best! We will make an update as soon as we can, as well as in the forum pages here somewhere.

I asked this during the kickstarter Q&A right before it was ending... any chance we can get more game play videos?

Also, I've been looking through the rule book and I can't seem to find when players are allowed to burn their discarded Xenosathem cards for the more efficient ones in the later waves.

Thanks!!

It is an effect on the Xenosathem Cards themselves.

@Echo, also in answer to your question about the videos: yes eventually we will have more gameplay videos up =).

Thank you Mr. Black and Leif for the replies!

Looking forward to the game, it's my first kickstarter. Any chance for a print and play of the base game for the backers? I would really like a crack at the gameplay.

 

[Echosilence]

I recall that CMON had said they weren't doing a PNP when a few people had asked about it on the kickstarter. But maybe they need more players to test it?
One can only hope. Welcome to the forums SSJSpiderkid! November cant come soon enough!

 

[SSJSpiderkid]

That's too bad. I really wanted to show people how awesome this game is going to be. I'll just have to show them in November. Also thanks for the welcome.

In the mean time if you need to quench your xenoshyft thirst have a gander a the artists contributing to the game.
I've been drooling at their artwork.

Kept searching google for xenoshyft content and looking at the rulebook.
Such great art...

I know.. i have a Xenoshyft addiction.

 

[SSJSpiderkid]

I checked out the artists' page and just WOW. I'm devouring everything Xenoshyft and I can't stop. I've never looked forward to a game more than this one.

I have a question concerning Late Pledges. Will people like me who did the Late Pledge get the stuff labeled as 'Kickstarter Exclusive' (example: the Hero and Experimental Items cards) or not?

 

[donnbobhardy]

Late pledges get everything that 'on-time' pledges get. At least, that's how it has been for other CMON KSs.

 

[Echosilence]

Looking at the late pledge Xenoshyft website pretty sure you are covered for all the kickstarter exclusives.

Message box at the bottom right:

XenoShyft Onslaught core game (MSRP $59.99) + 4 folding lane boards (MSRP $15) + Kickstarter exclusive Ajax First Player Token + all applicable stretch goals.

[amishluvah]

I never got an email relating to the pledge manager and every time I send an email to support@cmon.com about it I never get a reply. What should I do?

 

[Reade]

Got the game and it looks good.

I have been reading the rules and the additional special rules; but have not seen anything on the upgrade cards.
I know the troop upgrades occur if a trooper of the appropriate type survives a round on combat and can swap the ordinary soldier for the upgrade sort.

But I am unsure how the upgrade items work, especially as they still have a cost to them. At present I am assuming they can be bought if you have the ordinary kind. ?

Looking forward to playing it soon and see how the additional sections would affect with the additional item cards to choose from.

Hey Reade,

Might be late but here is your answer for the upgraded items.
Quote from Mr. Black for Xenoshyft Kickstarter update number 11.

Gameplay-wise, these Item Cards are upgraded versions (note: they have their own unique art) of some of the basic items available in the core game. What does that mean? Well basically these items are added to their respective Item Stacks at the beginning of the game, and when they come up they can be purchased as normal.

Hope you've already had a ton of plays! Share some of your thoughts.

 

[Bill@GL]

Is there a recommended layout for how the cards fit into the box? I am having trouble getting the box to fit the 2 expansions, and have absolutely no room for the foil cards.

 

[Echosilence]

Hey Bill,

It's been stated a few times now by CMON that the box was only made to fit the core game and not the expansion cards. So try as you might you probably will not get to fit everything in.
