The Loyalty Discount is something we did during our Mr. Cabbagehead’s Garden returns! campaign. It worked well, and we are extending our trial of this new method of rewarding repeat backers.

Basically, we give you $1 off per campaign you have backed in the past!

Here are the basics:

• You must have backed the the So, You’ve Been Eaten. campaign on Kickstarter before it ends.

• You must have backed for the Collector Edition pledge level. We wish we could it for everyone, but this is where we can both afford it and make the most impact for loyal backers.

• A maximum of $5 in total discount will be applied.

• The discount can be used as credit within Backerkit, to cover shipping costs and/or add-ons.

• The discount will appear automatically in your Backerkit account when we apply it, after surveys have been sent.

The above should be self-explanatory, but here’s some more detail:

• The discount is only valid for backers of this campaign that have backed at the Collector Edition pledge level by the end of the campaign. You could back for $1 and upgrade before the end of the campaign and therefore still be eligible. Unfortunately, we can not do the same discount for anyone who later upgrades their pledge level (or pre-orders the Collector Edition) after the end of the campaign. This is both practical (we can only assign this discount en masse once), and in principle fair to those who support us earlier.

• The credit can not be redeemed as cash. It can be used to pay for add-ons (all of them, including games like On the Underground, Crisis, Mr. Cabbagehead’s Garden, etc.) and shipping. Basically for anything that will be charged via Backerkit. Unfortunately KS does not have this functionality.

• The credit will remain in your Backerkit cart until you use it, or until we close down SYBE’s Backerkit integration. We typically leave them up for months. There will be a backer update giving advance notice to any such thing happening - typically when we run out of stock or run another campaign.

• We again chose to do this without limitation as to how far in the past you backed a campaign - this may change if we do this again. We may also limit it to newsletter subscribers. Or to backers of a specific campaign. Hey, it’s free money.

• Yes, new-to-LC backers backing this campaign are not included in this. But, if you are new and we continue to do this, you would also receive a $1 discount in a future LudiCreations campaign, for having backed SYBE.

• We also know that $1 (per campaign, to a maximum of $5) may not seem like a lot, but it is, for us, when you consider the number of potential backers. And in any case, it is what we can do for now.

• We realize that the above may not cover everything, and we are happy to answer any questions. You can leave a comment, but you will probably get a quicker response (during European daylight hours) by contacting us via the KS messaging system.

We will have the set of acrylic Crystals and wooden Bacteria available as a $9 add-on. We will also have the Dyspepto-Beastmol mini-expansion as a $5 add-on.

This is so that backers of the basic edition can still get those if they regret not backing the Premium edition.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of its costs, the custom Replication token (the custom-cut, screen-printed Miner meeple) is not going to be available as an add-on.

We can not deal with individual issues through the KS comments, as they are easily buried under other comments, and we can not ask you for your personal information in a public forum. In addition we are not able to track the progress of your enquiry.

Sending the same message via many different methods like our home page, Facebook page, BGG profile, etc. only creates confusion. Please just send us one message, via the KS messaging system.

Unfortunately, due to many reasons, we are not able to send games outside of these territories. Some backers have found it useful to use services that allow you to have a mailbox in the USA and Europe. Please keep in mind that we can not be responsible for the level of service any third-party services may or may not provide.

At the moment, we have plans to produce a German-language compatibility pack, which will be available as an add-on for $5-$9, depending on costs. If we can offer a fully-localized German edition, we will. This will depend on both the overall success of the campaign, and the number of german-speaking backers that would like such an edition.

We are in discussions with a number of potential co-publishers around the world. If and when a plan is made for a localized edition, we will include it in a backer update.

You are welcome to translate the rulebook content as an unofficial translation (marking it as such), but regrettably, we are not able to provide graphics or templates.

Yes. Back the campaign at the $1 pledge level, and you will be able to access the pledge manager.

We are already subsidizing shipping costs enough that a group buy would not save money.

In addition a bigger package would also be more easily damaged, and in cases outside of the EU or USA, attract the attention of customs officials.

You could potentially ask your local (non-online-only) store to make a retail pledge, but that would still involve shipping costs - and there are limits to what retailers can buy.

Brexit is now a reality. We commit to our UK-based backers that you will not have to pay any import VAT. We take care of that for you when we import the games into the UK ourselves.
