Steamforged Games has pulled back the curtain on what to expect from its RuneScape board game following its announcement in January. It turns out you won't just be getting exclusive items by supporting the Kickstarter this May 31 - the campaign will be 'gamified' with rewards chosen by the community. The game's pledge levels have also been revealed ahead of the project's arrival on the crowdfunding platform.
Unveiled by the official press release, backers will be "unlocking new cards by exploring Gielinor using a voting system". Much like the Culinaromancer Expansion (and other board games featured on the crowdfunding platform), these cards are a Kickstarter exclusive so won't be available anywhere else. The rewards will also be available no matter which tier of the RuneScape board game campaign you back.
Speaking of which, Steamforged has also unveiled everything you'll get at each pledge stage - and how much they'll cost. We've listed these below, but from first glance, it seems as if the mid-level Gameplay All-in Pledge might be the best for most people. Although it's double the cost of the core set, you're getting all of the expansions alongside each Kickstarter-exclusive item. Because these are bolted on to the main board as bonus areas with their own campaigns, they're probably going to be a good way of extending the life of the game and getting more for your money.
Here's everything that's included within each Kickstarter pledge level.
Core Pledge | $80 / £65 This is the basic version of the game, and it features a replayable campaign that'll last you roughly 12 hours. - RuneScape Kingdoms: Shadow of Elvarg core box - 14 miniatures (player avatars & bosses) - 300+ cards - Tokens, dice, game board & boss
