„This is a zombie game, but it is very different to anything out right now. This is a very, very fun, fun–let me stress team–FUN game. I really enjoy this game. The board game is a phenomenal experience.“ – The McGuire Review
„This game is a lot of fun. I really appreciated the fact that it was played competitively… I found myself just gleefully enjoying my turn… It makes for fabulous stories and cinematic moments. This put a breath of fresh air in the zombie theme. I really, really enjoyed this.“ – The Undead Viking
„This isn’t like anything you’ve played. If you’ve played the app, it’s an excellent port!“ – Derek Funkhouser, Board Game Spotlight
„A whole lot of fun! … It’s great looking and plays just like the app. Cool integration to into the community from an app.“ – Michael Wright, Unfiltered Gamer
„They’ve done a really nice job capturing that video game app feel and putting it into the board game. You definitely get that high tension, high pressure from moving through the zombies, and the horde ever pressing closer to you.“ – Mark Streed, The Dice Tower

Why Kickstarter?
Kickstarter provides an opportunity for us to introduce Into the Dead to a new audience and to enter a new creative industry. We chose to run this campaign via Kickstarter because of its strong and passionate board game community.

We offer Customs Friendly shipping in USA, Canada, the EU, Australia, and New Zealand. We will look into making the same arrangement for locations where we have a significant number of backers.

The following are up-to-date estimates for the shipping costs per region. Please, keep in mind that these costs may rise depending on the evolution of the campaign (unlocked stretch goals which will increase the weight of the parcel), and due to industry-wide fluctuations in shipping costs between now and the time of fulfillment.

- ASIA: US$15-30 to most countries

Risks and challenges
We have made significant efforts to minimize risk in the usual problem areas for board game Kickstarter campaigns by contracting many industry experts to advise on these challenges so that we can preempt them as much as possible.
There are however always vagaries associated with manufacturing, shipping, and customs. We are working with highly reputable partners in order to prevent these issues as much as possible, but there may be unforeseen circumstances that will affect the final product or its delivery timeline. If so, we pledge to communicate these circumstances in a timely manner.
We aim to begin delivering this Kickstarter in Q2 2020. Due to international shipping logistics, backers in different regions may receive their reward sooner than others.

Die Kampagne steht bei 40.932,00 USD von einem Zielbetrag von 70.000,00 USD und läuft noch 15 Tage.
Also das Mobile Game war in der Tat echt gut. Obd as auch für nen Brettspiel reicht. Ich weiß ja nüscht
hui mal was Neues eine Zombi Brettspiel, gabs ja noch nie …
War auch mein erster Gedanke.
Super…endlich mal was mit Zombies..!!
Ob Film,Serie oder Spiele…wir brauchen mehr Zombiekram.
Na wems gefällt.
Das spricht mich irgendwie nicht an, auch wenn die Figurendesigns gut ausschauen. Ich kenne allerdings die Vorlage dafür auch nicht, das ist evtl. eher etwas für Fans.
@Die ganzen Nörgler:
Ach Leute… es zwingt euch doch keiner es zu kaufen. Wäre eure Meinung repräsentativ, soll heißen, würden sich die ganzen Zombiesachen nicht wie geschnitten Brot verkaufen, würden auch nicht ständig Produkte rund um das Thema erscheinen aber hey… anscheinend gibt es da draußen gaaanz viele Menschen die das Thema noch imme rspannend finden. Macht doch selber ein Projekt mit einer anderen Thematik – das ist deutlich produktiver als dieses ständige Gejammere, das nervt nämlich deutlich mehr als die Zombieflut 😉
hat keiner Gemeckert 😉
aber mal im Ernst, nach 9 Tagen gerade mal zur Hälfte finanziert, „wie geschnitten Brot“ sieht anders für mich aus.
Ich will es ja niemanden vermiesen, aber ich finde das Thema hat sich tot gekickstartet.
Neee, das geschnitten Brot bezog sich allgemein auf das Zombiethema, nicht speziell auf dieses Spiel, bei der Masse an Dingen, die mit Zombiethematik auf den Markt kommen, kann ja nicht alles ein Erfolg sein 😉
Ich dachte da zB an die Zombicide Spiele, diverse Computerspiele, Filme, Bücher usw. das Thema fasziniert immer noch genug Menschen, trifft halt irgendwie den Zeitgeist.
