Raid - A Viking Card Game

First unlocked Stretch Goal (God Illustrations) & other updates

Hello Viking Warriors!

We had intended to send out a couple updates prior to today, but the past week or so has been crazy to say the least.

Justin & Amanda (two founders of Modern Games) and their daughters + pups had to evacuate their home due to a wildfire in Southern California last Monday. It was dicey for a while and there were hotspots just feet from their home, but the firefighters did a great job and managed to save all the homes and buildings in the area.

That surprising set of events coupled with other circumstances pushed out a couple updates and as we were approaching our first stretch goal we decided to hold off on any updates until after that unlock.

So, here we are! The news of the day.

Thanks to all of you backing Raid and spreading the word to your friends and family, we have officially eclipsed $50K in pledges and therefore unlocked our first stretch goal. 

Now that we have achieved this milestone we will add unique God illustrations to all of the God cards including both the Midgard and Asgard decks!

We are incredibly excited about reaching this stretch goal and couldn't have done it without all of you.

We are working on some of those illustrations right now and plan to unveil some of the Gods along with other content updates related to KSE and Asgard early next week.

In the meantime, look out for some game dev updates in the coming days and if you're in the US... get out and vote today!

Thank you all for you patience and support!!

It's official!! Raid funded in less than 24 hours and we couldn't have done it without you. 

Whether you are a past backer of Beasts of Balance joining us for the launch of Raid or you're completely new to the Modern Games community, we are so grateful to have you along for the journey. Thank you for trusting us to deliver an amazing game!!

Everyone on the Modern Games team, whether it's Brennen who as lead game designer has worked tirelessly to bring the game to life over the past couple years, Nathan whose beautiful art is on display in the campaign or the rest of us who are here to support every other facet of the Raid launch—we are overjoyed at the successful funding.

And now that we've passed this initial milestone, we are excited to announce the first set of Stretch Goals! The team has worked hard to come up with Stretch Goals that will enhance the game in delightful ways and expand upon the already beautiful art.

We hope that you'll join in spreading the word about Raid so we can bring these Stretch Goals to life.

Once we hit the first goal of $50K, we will ask all of our backers to choose two of the Gods for us to illustrate first and share them as the campaign progresses. We want the community to have a hand in bringing Raid to life as well and look forward to collaborating!

One final note before we jump back into the work of getting Raid to you. In the coming days, we are evaluating a variety of shipping options in order to find efficiencies in shipping costs around the world. It is our goal to deliver Raid to you as cost effectively as possible and we hope to update the estimated shipping costs with lower rates soon. 

The balance for us is to ensure we don't overpromise. We will always prioritize transparency and and do our best to underpromise and over deliver.

Thank you for your support! We can't wait to break through these Stretch Goals together and share lots of fun updates over the coming weeks and months.
