Will the 5€ pledge give me access to the pledge manager to upgrade my pledge after the campaign?
Yes! The €5 “Welcome to Yotei” pledge tier gives you full access to the pledge manager. After the campaign ends, you’ll be able to upgrade your pledge through the BackerKit pledge manager. All Kickstarter-limited prices, exclusives, add-ons, and free surprises will still be available to you. To apply your €5 as credit, you must upgrade to your desired pledge level - simply adding items to your cart without upgrading your tier will not apply the credit. Important: The pledge manager launches on May 19th and will remain open until May 31st, giving you approximately two weeks to upgrade your pledge and add any additional items to your order.

Why are there no Stretch Goals offered?
We’ve chosen not to include Stretch Goals in this campaign. Our focus is on delivering a streamlined campaign and a high-quality production without locking core improvements behind stretch targets. Instead, every backer will receive the Kickstarter-exclusive free surprises (tba), available only during this campaign.

Why do you only offer 2500 copies in batch 1? What is the difference between batch 1 and batch 2?
Yotei’s components are crafted from locally sourced Hokkaido wood. Due to limited supply and a small-batch manufacturing process, we’re unable to produce the Deluxe Edition at large scale. For this reason, copies are offered in batches of 2,500. The only difference between batch 1 and batch 2 is the delivery timeline: batch 1 is scheduled for delivery in October 2026, while batch 2 is estimated for February 2027. All Kickstarter-exclusive pricing, add-ons, stretch goals, and free surprises will be included in both batches.

Are there going to be any other languages available?
The Deluxe Edition of Yotei is only available in English during this Kickstarter campaign. The game is largely language-independent - apart from the rulebook, only the Mystery cards contain written text (in English). All core gameplay elements rely on iconography and symbols, making the game easy to understand and play regardless of language. We plan to approach potential publishing partners regarding additional language editions for the future retail version of the game, but no other language versions are confirmed at this time.

Can you provide more information regarding the add-ons offered in this campaign? Will the add-ons impact my shipping? And when will they get delivered?
We currently offer an add-on (the Character Pin Pack), which you can include in your pledge at any time. Additional add-ons will be introduced throughout the campaign, allowing you to expand your selection as it progresses. Each add-on set is priced at €20. Each add-on you include increases your shipping cost by just €1. For example, adding three add-ons will increase your total shipping by only €3. All add-ons will be shipped together with your selected batch, so you’ll receive your complete order in a single delivery.

Is there an Essen Spiel / Pax Unplugged pickup option?
No, we won’t be able to offer a pickup option at Essen Spiel or Pax Unplugged. Due to tight manufacturing timelines, consecutive shipping schedules, and logistical constraints, we can’t reliably guarantee availability at these events. To avoid potential complications and ensure a smooth fulfillment process, we’ve decided not to offer convention pickup for this campaign.

How long will the Pledge Manager stay open?
The BackerKit pledge manager will launch on May 19th and remain open until May 31st, giving you approximately two weeks to finalize, edit, or upgrade your pledge and add any additional items to your order. As we are planning to deliver the first batch of the project in October 2026, we need to lock in final quantities shortly after the pledge manager closes so we can begin manufacturing and keep fulfilment on schedule. Please note that payment completion and address confirmation will still be possible after the pledge manager closes. However, changes to your pledge contents and add-ons will no longer be available at that stage.

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.
