Enchanters: Overlords is a stand-alone expansion in a Big Box that fit all cards from both this expansion and the original base game. It will come with 6 new Kingdom Decks (Dark Elves, Golems, Slimes, Undead, Demons and Mages), 6 new Village Cards, and a whole new card type, the eponymous Overlords.
Overlords are our way of addressing a common question we received during our first campaign: “why don’t Monsters do anything upon reaching the Village?” Each Overlord will bring different consequences for failing to repel these invasions, each can be fought directly, and each one provides different rewards for the players brave enough to face them.
Our new campaign will also feature 4 add-on Kingdom Decks and a Kickstarter Exclusive Wound Deck (which you can get as an Early Bird bonus).
Enchanters: Overlords will also feature a new layout for the Kingdom and Village cards - a truly borderless design. While this change is purely cosmetic and perhaps for some, unnoticeable, we understand that it might be a divisive issue among our backers.
There are a lot of reasons why we decided to proceed with this new layout. The most important one is that we want to move the game forward and make it better. This new layout not only looks nicer, but also produces less waste and miscut copies during the manufacturing process. Therefore, it is more ecological on the production side, and reduces the number of defective games.
Nevertheless, we understand the need to have the game components be consistent. Thus, all backers of the original campaign and the Lost Loot campaign will have the option to buy updated Kingdom and Village cards at cost ($15).
The same goes for the Game Mat, which we have updated to include a dedicated spot for the Overlord cards.
Houston, we need to re-print Promo Cards…

Howdy!
We have a problem.
We’ve spent some time thinking about what some of you wrote as a reaction for our last update about frameless Promo Cards. After consideration we admit you were right: our responsibility is to deliver you exactly what you’ve ordered.
Right now we have a chance to fix it but we need a bit more time. Just after we’ve sent the first batch of Promo Cards we realized something went wrong and they were defective (some air got between a card itself and the foil) and we need to print them once again. Considering what you’ve wrote, we decided to print Promo Cards with old layout, exactly the same as in the base Enchanters game.
Unfortunately we’ve already sent about 150 Promo Cards (some of them can be defective) and they are already on their way. We’d like to tell you not to worry about that: as soon as we get new, freshly printed Promo Cards with frames, we will sent them again to all of you. So if you get the frameless card soon, you can keep it or get rid of it, its up to you: we promise you will get new one anyway.
The factory promised that new Promo Cards will be ready about 9th April and right after they arrive we start shipping.
Of course we remember that some of you are still waiting for the base Enchanters game, so we decided not to delay it any longer. We are shipping all the games and sets with mats to you as we speak, and Promo Cards will be sent separately in April.
In the same time we’d like to tell you something more about future changes in Enchanters and Enchanters: Overlords layout.
Since the success of Enchanters campaign was much bigger thant we’ve ever anticipated, we need to think about future and focus on developing the project in the best possible way in next few years. Thanks to your support we’ve changed the layout but due to strict deadlines we weren’t able to get rid of those frames completely. Unfortunately the current layout is really problematic when it comes to production: we generate a lot of waste, which is unecological and risky even when it comes to fthe inal effect. Some of you know that already since you’ve got misprinted or miscut cards - this is and an effect of this problematic layout. Of course we’ve replaced those damaged cards to you but we could’ve avoided that issue completely.
We’d really like new card to be fully “open” - and right now we can do that! We’ve adjusted new illustrations, made margins wider and eventually we have what we’ve wanted since the very beginning.
You’ve put your faith in us at the very beginning of our journey and right now we’d like to ask you to keep trusting us. As you can see right now, we listen to you and take your opinion under consideration since the very first moment, when you were suggesting new stretch goals to us in comments. We keep listening to you right now, printing Promo Cards all over again to give you exactly what you’ve paid for and to be fair.
We honestly believe that we’ve made good choice and we can assure you that this decision is caused by practical reasons only.

Shipping progress and sneak peek of Enchanters: Overlords

Howdy!
We finally got it: yesterday in the evening we’ve picked up our promo cards!
As you can see, the card has no frame.
Why? Here’s why: it’s a part of a completely new frameless cards’ layout, designed specially for an upcoming expansion - Ecchanters: Overlords. Soon we announce new campaign, so stay tuned and follow us!
Till now we’ve already sent almost all orders without promo cards (games itself and sets of games and mats) and today we’ve shipped 150 single promo cards. Remember that promo cards are shipped with no tracking number!
Each envelope is hardened and have bubble wrap inside
We are almost home with Enchanters campaign, but few steps before the very end we have another small setback: last delivery of extra mats for lost loot campaign backers is slightly delayed. In spite of that we will be done, as we promised, at the beginning of the next week (26.-27.03), all together with lost packages from first batch.
And if it comes to Enchanters: Overlords, here you can find first artworks!
New expansion is coming soon!
Above you can see one of Overlords: main characters of completely new type of Enchanters cards. Those special cards remain active through all the game, till the very last moment when you defeat it.
In addition to Overlords card you can find cards from new decks: Slime, Undead and Dark Elves. But beware: the more Slimes you defeat, the smellier and harder to beat next ones will be! The Undeads, on the other hand, will give you an access to the discard pile!
Buckle up - we’re ready to ship! + Upcoming expansion!

Howdy!
Wednesday 14.03 is a lockdown date for our project: at this day we will charge you for order you’ve made. Then just few days after day we start shipping packages! Next week will be really busy for us as we’ve made a resolution to ship all the parcels in just few days!
We are really sorry that it won’t be any faster, but the factory producing our promo cards is swamped with work and this is taking a bit more than we’ve assumed.
But we even better news: we’ve signed a special deal with Polish Post - Polish national delivery company - thanks to that fact we can send all the packages directly from Poland via airmail! It means that backers from most of European countries should get their orders within 7 days of shipping date. For backers from USA estimated delivery time is 13 days top. All the packages will be sent with tracking number!
Beware: its not applicable for promo cards shipped all alone (neither for situations when card was ordered together with the Game Mat or Players Mat only. without the game - then mat (or mats) is shipped separately with tracking and card - with no tracking; those two items can’t be combined because of the shape of the package of the mat - a tube - and the size of the card).
Unfortunately, there are some countries our Global Express service can’t handle. In case of this small group of backers we have no choice but to ship without tracking. We are really sorry for that! You can check if your country is on the Global Express list: use that link to establish how long will it take to deliver your package. If your country is not on this list, it means we will send you a parcel without tracking number.
The best possible news for us is that we’ve finally solved our problem with PayPal: we’ve got the money back, so we’re already working really hard on new Enchanters extension! Our team (together with some new talented designers and artists) is converting those funds into amazing illustrations as we speak!
(work in progress)
An official extension name is Enchanters: Overlords. The essence and the heart of this pack will be Overlords: rulers of monsters. Have you ever been annoyed that while you were chilling out in a village the nearest monster was leaving the track and nothing was going on? If so, you will love the new rules and the new mechanics itself.
