🧩 Add-Ons

🚀 Stretch Goals

🚚 Shipping

We will be using the Kickstarter Pledge Manager to confirm pledges and manage add-ons after the campaign. Due to ongoing volatility in global freight costs, shipping will be calculated and collected closer to our fulfilment date to ensure the most accurate pricing possible. 

How it works:

1. Kickstarter Pledge Manager (a few weeks after campaign ends)
You’ll receive an email to:

• Confirm your pledge
• Add optional add-ons

2. Shipping Confirmation (closer to fulfilment)
You’ll receive a follow-up email to:

• Pay shipping based on actual carrier rates.
• Pay applicable taxes or duties (if required).
• Review final shipping details before confirmation.
  
  Shipping rates shown during the campaign are estimates only and may vary depending on final freight costs, destination, and add-ons selected.
  
  Sales tax or VAT (where applicable) will be calculated based on your location and total order value (including shipping) and will be clearly shown before final confirmation in the Kickstarter Pledge Manager.
  
  Shipping Restrictions
  Due to import laws, we cannot ship to:
  Brazil, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Afghanistan, and Cuba.
  
  
  Important Notes
• Pledges must be confirmed in the Kickstarter Pledge Manager before the deadline to guarantee delivery.
• Shipping rates are estimates only. Final charges will reflect actual shipping costs at the time of fulfilment.
• Remote regions (including parts of Canada and Australia) may incur additional charges.

🌿 Behind the Game

Terms & Conditions

By backing this project, you acknowledge that the final product may change.

Your pledge does not include shipping costs. These will be charged after the campaign based on actual shipping rates.

You must confirm your pledge, address, and details within the required time frame. If you do not confirm within 8 weeks of being contacted, we may consider our obligations fulfilled. Any refund or fulfilment after this point will be at our discretion.

If delivery fails after two attempts, any additional shipping costs will be your responsibility. We can only guarantee delivery for pledges that are fully completed and confirmed.


Environmental Responsibility

We aim to reduce environmental impact where possible and are selecting durable materials to ensure a long-lasting product.

We plan to recycle returned products where possible and reduce waste and aim to work with manufacturers that reduce environmental impact and optimise shipping to lower emissions.

We also use a portion of each sale to plant a tree through our partner Tree-Nation, which is a for-profit organisation.
