Four Horsemen: An apocalyptic co-op game - Late pledge store

Happy New Year and Digital Proofs
about 1 year ago – Wed, Jan 03, 2024 at 08:01:14 AM

Welcome to 2024! The digital proofs were delivered and approved. We're now waiting on the white box test. This is where the manufacture puts together the box using plain white cards to make sure everything fits. This is also where the inserts are designed. I will hopefully have both to share in the next update. 

For this update, here are a couple of images of what a digital proof looks like:

Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays everyone! I've finished reviewing most of the digital proofs. We're just waiting on a couple of cards. However, I wanted to share this wallpaper that was created by our very talented Nicoleta Stavarache. She's amazing.

Hi everyone, 

The good news is everything is still on track! I had to make a couple of minor adjustments in sizing of components to keep the boxes the standard 300mm x 300mm, but I finished that and sent all of the updated files to the manufacturer. I've paid the deposit on printing the game and am waiting on the digital proofs. I should be able to share them with you in the January update! Once the proofs are complete, the manufacturer will print the copies, which will take 4-6 weeks. After printing, they'll get on a boat to the distribution centers of Naylor games for final shipping. 

The pledge manager is ticking along. Roughly 2/3 of customers have completed their pledge already. I received several requests to keep the pledge manager open until March, so I will leave it alone until then. I'll start sending out reminder emails to backers who haven't completed their pledge around the end of January. 

There's a new review of Four Horsemen out in German. Super cool video and the content creator is a wonderful guy. If you speak German, check out his channel! 

After I received the digital proofs, I'll update the rulebooks on BGG so you can check them out. I uploaded the base and expansion rulebooks for anyone interested. Those files are about 1 version behind the final. 

Happy holidays again! Have some wallpaper art for fun.

November Update: Files being sent to manufacturer this week, new review, and more!

Happy November! 

I can't believe how fast the time is going - Halloween already came and left. The good news is that the game is on schedule. The last few art pieces are finished, and I'm finalizing the files for printing. Barring any glaring errors discovered during the final review, I'll be sending everything out for print this week.

Second, a new video posted this week, curtousey of Genus Solo. The video is in German. Let me know what you think if you speak German. He and I met up at Essen to play the game, and I sent him home with an early demo copy I had available.  

Third, my updates have shared characters a lot, but not items. partly because characters are who you play. The game does have a lot of fantastic item art, such as these pieces:

A lot of the items were done by a wonderful artist named Fabian Parente, including both of these items. 

Third, I added games to the BGG con schedule in Dallas. I'll be bringing the full Four Horsemen game. If you're interested in playing, please sign up!

Finally, thank you everyone who completed their pledge! Originally, the pledge manager was scheduled to close March 1. However, we might be able to move that up and ship earlier. This depends largely on manufacturing. Please send me a DM if you need the pledge manager to stay open until March. Otherwise I will push to get everything closed so we can start distribution a little bit earlier. I don't want to close the pledge manager before February as I don't want people getting charged during the holidays.

Thank you for reading!

Pledge Manager Open!
about 1 year ago – Wed, Oct 25, 2023 at 01:23:03 PM

Hi all! 

The pledge manager is now open!  If you haven't already received an invite, you should receive one before the end of the day. Thank you for being patient while we figured out the technical issues.  

As promised, the Norse, Egyptian, and Chinese expansions are available as individual add-ons. I also added an upgrade for the dual-layered hero boards.  Unfortunately, there was one change I made that impacts a couple of you. While reviewing the game with the manufacturer, I found that I couldn't economically produce both a standee and mini version for each add-on expansion of the game (based on the number of backers).  Because I had to choose one or the other, I went with the standee version for individual expansions.  

Please note that this change only impacts expansions included as add-ons. The Deluxe and Apocalypse (all-in) pledge still include all of the expected minis.  The couple of people who added the mini version of the Norse expansion during Kickstarter will see a credit for the difference between the standee and mini version of the expansion. I am very sorry about the inconvenience, and please reach out to me with any concerns.

As for delivery, everything is still on track for delivery next for next August. The manufacturer already has the minis and will be creating molds soon. The rest of the contents are being finalized now. Let me know if you are interested in seeing anything about the game.

Thanks again for joining me on getting this game out to the world!
