Greetings Slayers,
Fulfillment is complete worldwide! If you haven't received a tracking number, please contact [email protected]. Over 30,000 of you now have Slay the Spire: The Board Game. The first prototype of the board game was made 4 years ago. We took a big risk by spending so long making the game. We weren't sure the campaign would do well or if people would appreciate our efforts. To see so many of you finally enjoying the game in real life is both surreal and incredibly fulfilling. Thank you all again for believing in us and backing the game!
We'll be at Gen Con! We're sharing booth 2211 with our friends at Kolossal Games. Come say hi! More convention announcements are coming.
Damaged, defective, or missing components? Let us know at [email protected].
Our Shopify store is up for US, UK, and AU/NZ! Anything you order here will ship starting July 25th. Shipping to EU and Canada isn't up yet, but those regions should be ready by July 25th.
The Companion App has gone through several updates, with compatibility and music player improvements being the main focus. You can download it here! We're now working on getting more languages ready.
Reviews for Slay the Spire: TBG have been beyond what we were expecting. We're super excited to receive the Dice Tower's Seal of Excellence! You can check out their review here:
