Unlocked stretch goals and retail vs. deluxe
almost 6 years ago – Wed, Jan 27, 2021 at 01:49:59 AM

Dear backers, 

You've done it! You managed to unlock the deluxe game board and the final 4 extra Department tiles . This means that thanks to your enthusiasm and support, we will effectively double the amount of Department Tiles present in the game!

Next up, we have the special seal print on the box and card sleeves coming up, we feel confident we will make those goals fairly soon as well.  And of course, there is still the … 

Social Stretch Goal

You have been quite busy on our social media we have seen, and we are getting closer to unlocking the Custom VP markers. At this time of writing, we need about 100 more Facebook followers, 250 Instagram followers and 130 BoardGameGeek fans to reach our goal. Go on and give us a follow if you haven't already :)

New Reviews

We have added a new Dutch review by Spellenbunker and a Spanish Playthrough video and analysis by Análisis-Parálisis in the "Reviews" section of the page, make sure to check it out. 

Differences between the Deluxe and future retail versions of the game

We want to explain the differences between the Kickstarter Deluxe Collector's Edition (KE) and the regular edition (RE) of the game, since we have been getting some questions about this. 

Apart from some obvious differences, like the bigger and thicker box, Department, board, Game TRayz insert, thicker board, special print, … a main difference is that the 32 extra Department tiles will be included in this version, but will not be included in the retail edition. The same goes for the Donation tiles if we manage to unlock these. Instead, these will be sold separately as an expansion. 

Another very important difference between the different editions is that the KE will be the one and only  Quined Masterprint edition. Unlike all other years, Quined Games is NOT planning to print a retail version of Carnegie after the campaign. Please take good note of this. This means that if you wish to procure the Masterprint version of the game, this campaign is your one chance. Our partners will be the ones publishing the regular edition of the game at the end of the year, which will feature a box with different sides and back, will not have the Kickstarter exclusives and will not have the extra Department and Donation tiles in the box. Right now,  we are  still negotiating with some companies for a possible retail version of Carnegie in some 'important' languages like English and German, but nothing is set yet. Only the languages mentioned in the "Partners" section (with Polish as an exemption) are sure to see the light of day.

We hope this makes thing clear. If you have any questions, please tell us or send us a pm.  Quined is a very small company, and we are trying our best to make the KS campaign and the game a big success! So far, your support has been nothing short than but amazing, and we couldn't be more humbled and grateful with this. 

Arno Quispel, Quined games. 

New (social) Stretch goals and more …
almost 6 years ago – Sun, Jan 24, 2021 at 11:56:49 PM

Dear backers, 

We are very grateful for all your support, suggestions, accolades and more, it's only day 5 of the campaign,  and we have reached yet another stretch goal this weekend! Every copy of Carnegie Deluxe will now feature a total 24 extra department tiles! We are getting close to unlocking the last 4 extra tiles, which, when we make it, will effectively double the amount of department tiles present in the game! We want to give you a more detailed look at some of these departments in a next update, but first … 

New (social) stretch goals. 

We have been overwhelmed with all your wonderful suggestions for which possible stretch goals.  Both through your playtests on Board Game Arena, and through the comments and messages we have received. Some may have been more ambitious than others, but here are some we have come up with, together with Xavier Georges,  to make this edition of Carnegie truly special: 

1/ The first stretch goal we have added is custom, silkscreened VP Markers. Right now, players use one of their 30 disks to mark their progress during and at the end of the game. This is a social stretch goal, meaning we will unlock this neat addition if we hit 2500 followers on our Facebook Page, 2800 Followers on Instagram AND 500 fans of the game on BoardgameGeek .  

2/ For stretch goal number 2 we are adding a very special relief print on the Box cover. This will make the wax seal on the cover feel like and actual seal. Our printer will use special ink and printing techniques to achieve this effect, making the box a really unique item in your game cabinet.  And don't worry, it will be durable enough, so it won't wear off if you place it next to your other games! 

3/ After the wax seal, we are adding a set of premium card sleeves for all the cards in the game. AND, since we get this question a lot: YES, the custom insert WILL fit all sleeved cards! 

4/ And to end things for this update: if we reach € 280,000, we will add a set of 4 Donation Tiles, which Xavier Georges is working on as you read this, slaving away in the basement we have him locked up in … I mean,ahem. Never mind.  These are not the entrepreneurs you're looking for. These tiles will feature all new donations for each of the four departments: education, human rights, welfare and health. This way, we add even more variety to the game, and you can combine these with the existing ones as you please!

We hope you will like these new stretch goals. We are still brooding on even more ideas thanks to your suggestions, and will reveal them as we unlock more stretch goals. So spread the word to your friends and family that maybe be interested in this game. ;)

Stretch Goals and Shipping news

We have reached over €125.000,-- a short time ago. Lots of thanks to all our backers. We will add some new stretch goals soon.

We have news for backers from Bulgaria: please choose for shipping Romania. By accident we did not mention you. Terribly sorry for this. You will have the same shipping costs. If necessary, we will sort this out in the pledge manager.

Also news for New Zealand: we decided to lower the rates for you as they seem to be too high. You can choose for shipping Australia. You will have the same shipping costs. If necessary, we will sort this out in the pledge manager.

Still waiting for more info on shipping to the UK.

the project reached higher levels. the third stretch goal is unlocked. This is important since it will give gameplay much more variability. Please not that the extra departments are not yet implemented on BGA. These will be included in the CARNEGIE DELUXE EDITION for free and will be available for those who will buy the retail edition as an expansion.

There are some questions about the tax situation of pledges from the UK, shipping to Bulgaria and shipping rates to New Zealand. We are busy to find the answers to these questions as soon as we can.  Thans to you all for backing the game!

Second stretch goal unlocked!
