Warehouse 13: The Board Game

Theme, Playthroughs, and Ratings.
over 6 years ago – Sun, Sep 24, 2017 at 05:02:23 PM

Hey there fellow Agents! Just a quick update from the Warehouse... 

One of our backers has put together an awesome overview of the various agent abilities and how they thematically draw you in to the character you are playing. Here's a link to Dustin's abilities thread.

Dustin's thread inspired Conquest Gaming's Russ Rupe to start a thematic photo thread where we're planning to discuss some of the cards, photos, themes, and Warehouse trivia we've picked up from watching the show so much.

Player after player has told us that you don't even have to be a fan of the show to appreciate the game's theme. We've had dozens of people "just have" to seek out a W13 DVD set after test playing with us. One of them happened to be Will at Tantrum House (start at 26:30 to hear that part, 25:00 for the whole review).

Several hundred viewers have taken advantage of the gameplay videos we've posted. The 5-player playthrough has Episodes 1 and 2 online, with more to come soon. Here's that playlist.

With 11 days to go, we need your help now more than ever. We have almost 50 ratings at BGG with an 8.4 average and currently none below 6 and all but 5 in the 8-10 range. If you've played the game, watched the videos, or read the rules and feel like you can give us a fair and honest rating, please do. And keep spreading the word every way you can!

Snag it. Tag it. Bag it. Back it.

Final Week Push, Pete's Vibe Pledge Level, Quick Rules Video, Nashville Game Night
over 6 years ago – Sun, Sep 24, 2017 at 05:02:17 PM

As we move into the final week of the campaign, we need all Loyal Agents in the Field and spreading the word. Be on the lookout for another post on the official Warehouse 13 Facebook page. Be sure to Like, Share, and talk about the campaign everywhere you can, including BoardGameGeek where our ratings continue to be very high because this is a solid board game with an amazing theme that pulls you in whether you've seen the show or not.  

Eddie McClintock has agreed to sign a limited number of Pete player screens to allow us to open up a new Pledge Tier that we're calling Pete's Vibe. If you go to a convention and wait in line to get his autograph, you will generally spend $35 on the autograph, plus easily another $50 just to get in the door at the con. That doesn't even factor in your scheduling limitations and travel expenses. But you don't have to do all of that since we're doing the legwork for you! Because we will have to manually fulfill this tier, and it has a pretty high complication factor, it will be $125 and available only to US backers. Here is the one he signed for us after he played the game as Pete.

We have completed a quick rules video. Teaching in person typically takes around 20 minutes, but in this video we've managed to shave that down to a mere 11 minutes. I plan to use this video as much as possible while teaching the game to future Agents.

We will be playing the game at Nashville Game Night on Thursday, Sept 21. Hope to see some of you there!

The first 2 days got us 28% of our goal, so recapturing some cancellations, bringing in the Knock Knock level backers who may be on the fence, and adding in a big final week of marketing should help us to make this game a reality. 

We genuinely appreciate your support! 

Snag it! Tag it! Bag it! And Back it!

More Autographs!

Due to popular demand and requests that we offer Eddie's autograph to our international backers, we have made a very limited additional number of these available to everyone. We did have to increase the price due to the compilations of fulfilling this reward outside of the U.S.

Great work, Agents! With more than 2 weeks remaining, the campaign to bring Warehouse 13 to your game table is in great shape. We would love to blow the top off this campaign, and be able to begin design work on the first expansion. We were tossing around some interesting potential new game mechanics for that just last night before we began filming another video playthrough--this time with 5 players. We hope to have that online in the next 24 hours.

We are running a sponsored contest over at BoardGameGeek. Why should you, a loyal backer, want to enter a contest to possibly win a free copy of Warehouse 13: The Board Game? That's a great question with one obvious answer and one more subtle answer. Obviously, free stuff is great. W13:TBG would make a wonderful gift, so two copies are indeed better than one. Less obviously, BGG is a popular destination for boardgamers all over the world. Along the left edge of their page is "The Hotness" that lists what games people are currently talking about the most. Warehouse 13: The Board Game is in The Hotness list, and we want to stay there. So please join the conversation over at BGG, toss some thumbs around, and if you have played the game, please give us a rating.

Thanks so much for your support!
