How does Shipping, Customs & VAT Work for Gamestormers?

Due to the extremely volatile nature of the global supply chain, we did not want to charge for shipping now when it could change so drastically by the time Gamestormers ships. Instead, we will charge for shipping when the BackerKit Pledge Manager is sent to you! Right now, we have included approximate shipping estimates, erring on the side of higher costs rather than lower. Customs and VAT are NOT included in these costs, so purchasers will be responsible for those fees.

What is the inspiration behind Gamestormers?

Gamestormers was first devised in 2020 as a way to allow people to try their hand at creating a game in a very accessible and engaging platform. As it evolved, Gamestormers turned into a hybrid strategy/party game aimed at exposing players to a variety of unique gameplay mechanics. In addition, designer Jon Spike was inspired by the birth of his daughter, Sloane, to create a game that she would enjoy playing with him for many years to come!

How does Gamestormers work?

Gamestormers is simple - create the BEST 5-card game narrative using a Storyline, two Mechanics, and two Item cards. But doing so is where the fun comes in - you can win either by convincing your fellow gamestormers that YOUR game is the best, OR score the most points via the technical skill of your game design. In addition, Mechanic cards score you bonuses, Item cards have additional abilities, and Theater cards allow you to inject your own creativity into your game design.

What is the "Aid to Ukraine" stretch goal?

We proudly stand with Ukraine during this time of conflict, and we are especially invested because our art lead, Vika, is from Ukraine. If we reach the $35,000 stretch goal, we will donate a part of each pledge to supporting Ukraine with needed supplies!

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
