Our FINAL Reveal

Ahoy Backers!
It has been an incredible campaign, and we’ve saved our biggest reveal for last! But before we do that, let me thank you for being here with us. Welcome to our newest backers, and thanks again to all of you who have stuck with us through the campaign. As per usual we are having such a great time with this campaign. It was a new course of action for us to have "reveals" instead of Stretch Goals. And I think it's worked out very well. Check it out: right now we're at $200,117CA pledged, 548% funded, 4,058 backers, and STILL 58 hours to go. That's right, over 4000 backers and $200,000!!!!!!
Our LAST Reveal
The Seize Your Fatemini-expansion is really something special. It introduces Nation tiles which will give each player an asymmetric starting position and specialized powers unique to each individual Nation. It also includes Fate cards which give all players a goal to work towards and can earn a lot of end game points.
Nation tile fronts *Art and gameplay not final. We know that the flags and titles are not perfect; we are still doing research to decide what would be the best to represent this broad era spanning centuries. If you have any insight, please let us know in the comments!
Nation tile backs *Art and gameplay not final. We know that the flags and titles are not perfect; we are still doing research to decide what would be the best to represent this broad era spanning centuries. If you have any insight, please let us know in the comments!
In reverse turn order, players draft the Nation of their choice and follow the set up instructions. Triggering the abilities on the tiles requires certain actions. Players don’t take the associated action, instead they trigger the ability on the tile. Abilities must be triggered from top to bottom. The last ability is raising your Monument on the board. You place your Monument token over a disc in a city you control. It counts as another presence and can never be attacked for the rest of the game.
Monument Tokens *Design Not Final
Placing your Monument makes you eligible to claim a Fate card. All of the Fate cards have a requirement that needs to be completed before they can be taken, like having four presence in both India and South America for example. The rewards can be huge, as you can see in the image below. A number of cards are revealed at the start of the game, making it easier for you to prepare your empire to Seize Your Fate.

Reveal Number Five, And So Much More
almost 5 years ago
– Fri, Jun 28, 2019 at 09:27:00 PM
Ahoy Backers!
We have been so pleased with the response to this campaign and we really couldn’t do this without you. I mean, look at these stats: $189,230CA pledged, 518% funded, 3,867 backers, and STILL 4 days to go! A heartfelt thank you from the entire team! As a reward, we thought it might be time to add a little revelry to your seaside.
Reveal Number Five
Today’s reveal is the Fairground, and as you can see, you’ll be celebrating if you add this Building.
.
The Fairground boosts you on both the Culture and Influence tracks. It also provides a Draw action (as the Level 6 Asset cards prove, you can never have too many Draws).The Fairground also does something unique. When you use the Draw action on it, you can reduce the presence you need in a region by one. This makes getting to some of those higher level cards just that much easier. Stay tuned! We have one final reveal to share with you as we go into our last 48 hours. And this one is going to be stellar!
Age of Expansion Buzz
Just as we were getting set to release the Endeavor: Age of Expansion on Kickstarter, there was a flurry of excitement surrounding it. No one could match the excitement of BGG's Niramas, who did a fantastic talk through of it. Check it out here:
Or how about this Portuguese talk through of Endeavor: Age of Expansion from BGG's tabuludens:
Endeavor: Age of Expansion Spotlight
One thing we haven't mentioned to you throughout this campaign is that we created a special place to house all of the information we released on the content of this Expansion on BGG. It is called the Endeavor: Age of Expansion Spotlight and has information about the different buildings and Asset cards that are in this Expansion. Check it out and, if you don't mind, give it a thumb!
Speaking of Thumbs
Did you know that Endeavor: Age of Expansion is going to be at Gen Con (to all of our newer backers)? Check it out at the KTBG booth #2106 and the Grand Gamers Guild booth #2108. We're excited about it... and apparently some of you are excited about it also! We've managed to boost the Expansion all the way to the 18th position. I think we can do better than that. If you've got a BGG account (totally free), and you're willing to lend a thumb, you can do that here.

Bet You Didn't See This One Coming!

Ahoy Backers!
We love sending out these updates out to you, with reveals every couple of days. today's reveal is a doozy... and it's not another Level-5 building like you clever veterans were probably expecting! First and foremost, we would like to thank you for being here! Thanks to those who have stuck around, and to those of you who just joined. This has been an awesome campaign so far, and we have you to thank for that.
Where We're At
$ 176,960CA pledged, 484% funded, 3,689 backers, and still 6 days to go. This is pretty awesome!! We only have you, our amazing backers, to thank for this!
The Reveal
What’s bigger than Level 5? Well, it’s Level 6, of course! Today, we’re taking the game to a whole other level, with the reveal of the Dominium mini-expansion, featuring all new Level 6 Asset cards. While these are still in the development stage and some changes are possible, you can clearly see the power that each of these unique Assets will provide.
** The Level 6 Asset cards still in development and may change before manufacturing
They all feature a big boost to either your tracks or in straight up points, but they also each have powers you won't find on any other card. For example, aside from its bonuses, the North American Level 6 card We The People, allows you to retrieve all of your discs from the North America shipping track and place them in your Harbour. Then there’s Jaipur the Pink City, the Level 6 India card. It allows you to swap any Building from your seaside with a new one from the supply you can legally place. In Africa, The Gold Coast will allow you to score the extra points you’d earn for going above the 15 point threshold in any of your tracks... a more common occurrence with Age of Expansion's accelerated success!
These new highly-powered Asset cards are going to change the way you approach Endeavor, and they’ll ensure that the Draw action remains a game-changing option, even in the final rounds. Let us know what you think of these amazing cards in the comments section on this update, and stay tuned for more reveals as our campaign of Expansion continues.
The level 6 Asset cards are for Kickstarter backers only. However, they will be available in limited quantities for purchase after the campaign.

Reveal Number Three

Ahoy Backer,
As we’ve been sailing the seven seas, it’s been an honour to have you as part of the crew. It’s only by pulling together that we reach our destination! Welcome to all of our new backers. Exciting to see this campaign really move. It's only been 7 days and already we're at $167,557CA pledged, 459% funded, 3,503 backers, and still 8 days to go! How exciting!!
A NEW Level 5 Building
Now, to start the week off with a bang! The Battery is our third Level 5 Building reveal in the campaign, and it promises to be a favourite.
.
Aside from providing a Glory point for the end of the game, the Battery also gives you a Conscription and Mobilization which can be used for either Occupy or Attack actions. It’s the perfect late-game addition to your board.
Stay tuned for more reveals as the campaign continues. We have a couple of really great surprises in store!!

Ahoy Backers!
Just two days into the campaign and we’re already setting records. As a reward for everyone who has jumped aboard the campaign, we present our first reveal. The Level 5 Building, the Citadel stands as a wall of protection for your cities. It provides two Fortify actions allowing you to shore up your defences where you need it most. Not only that, at the end of the game it provides Glory points for each Fortify action you have on your Buildings. There are some big things that are on their way! Stay tuned for more this coming Saturday, June 22nd!
.
**If you use the Citadel with your Print and Play at any point during or after the campaign, let us know how it goes, in the comments section in this update.
In Other News
Did you know that you can check out Endeavor: Age of Expansion at Gen Con this summer? It will be at both the Burnt Island Games and the Grand Gamers Guild booths (more info coming in the next two weeks). We might even have a set or two available to demo with our scheduled demo games.
If you are as excited about it as we are, thumb it on BGG here! And FYI, you can even thumb it if you aren't going but you're excited to get Age of Expansion.
Add-Ons: The Blockades
.
In all honesty Backers, this was completely overlooked when we put this campaign together. We've been discussing how we can include it without it being too much of a financial burden on us. We've decided that 9 wooden Blockades will be included in the plastics add-on.
