Campaign Close: The Heart Defeated
over 1 year ago – Sat, Nov 19, 2022 at 11:55:51 PM

Greetings Slayers!

We are incredibly humbled and grateful. What started with a small team's love for Slay the Spire has grown to include almost 30,000 of you. The whole team: Gary, Andrew, Arjun and Penny, as well as our wonderful partners at Mega Crit, Anthony Giovanetti and Casey Yano would like to extend our gratitude. You have slain our Hearts.

Working on this game we know and love and being able to share it with you has been an amazing journey. We'd especially like to thank the playtesters who've shared it with us since early development and all the backers who contributed to the playtesting during the campaign!

The Final Vote

The final winner of our foil vote is none other than Snecko Eye! Enjoy the shiny art, but try not to get confused.

Pledge Manager

We plan on opening the Pledge Manager in December. We'll send an invitation to the email address associated with your Kickstarter account when it's ready. In the Pledge Manager, you can upgrade to a higher pledge, select a language, choose add-ons, and enter your shipping address. If you backed for $1, you will get the Kickstarter exclusives if you upgrade to Slayer's Pledge or higher.

Playtesting

We're committed to making Slay the Spire the very best it can be. We're going to take a few days off to recuperate, but then we'll get right back to developing the game and updating Tabletop Simulator with the latest content. If you're interested in playtesting, make sure you join our Discord server! It's also great place to find someone to play with or give us feedback.

Updates

Our journey doesn't end here! We'll be updating you on our progress until you have Slay the Spire in your hands! Email is always the best way to contact us ([email protected]) and never hesitate to reach out to us if you have a question or concern!

See you in the Spire,

Greetings Slayers!

You're finally here. At the top of the Spire...

You have one final door to unlock. But where is the key? 

We are at the final reveal!! And it comes with a 3 part Kickstarter Exclusive, starting with....

Ascension 13: The Keys - The keys to the Corrupt Heart's chamber will each ask you to make a sacrifice. At this Ascension, you need to collect all 3 custom acrylic keys to open the door...

The Claw Die - Now you'll get a Claw Die to go with that Claw Pack! We know you all wanted a custom die, and this one's oversized! This is a bonus die in addition to the standard one.

The foil Golden Tickets are a little way for us to say how we feel about you, incredibly lucky to have you and grateful you're here to share this journey with us.

Daily Reveal: Custom Tray
over 1 year ago – Sat, Nov 19, 2022 at 11:13:13 AM

Greetings Slayers,

Today's reveal is a Custom Tray! We want Slay the Spire: The Board Game to be a game that you can quickly setup and get into. We know you've got Hearts to Slay, and now with custom trays by Black Magic Inserts, you can get there that much faster. 

Black Magic Inserts (and prior GameTrayz engineer, Bryce Cook), is a company specializing in engineered insert and play solutions, miniatures and digital assets for board games. Bryce has engineered over 60+ beloved inserts for many titles, such as Flamecraft, My Fathers Work, Shelfie Stacker, Veiled Fate, Kingdom Rush, Paint the Roses and many more!

This is just a teaser! A full insert is in the works and we'll share updates on our progress after the campaign. Both editions will come with a token tray and a custom insert. The Collector's Edition insert will be able to store the playmats it comes with. 

Making a great insert is a high priority for us. We can't wait to show you the completed product! Until then...

See you in the Spire,
