Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about 5 Wards! Dickie (Frown Clowns) and Max (Dragon Egg Games) have run and fulfilled several games via Kickstarter crowdfunding. One of the challenges with the crowdfunding model, however, is the long wait time between your purchase and the joy that we are looking to unleash on your table (crowdfunding campaign time to collect orders, file submission to manufacturing partners, etc.). Thus, In lieu of crowdfunding for 5 Wards, we've decided to bring this game straight to you ahead of the retail release in 2024. We are in the first phase of manufacturing and will keep you up-to-date on all key milestones over the coming 2 months (Manufacturing Sample, Manufacturing complete, Games at Warehouse, Games en route to your door) with an expectation to deliver your copy by late October- early November.
