Button Shy Games Battlecrest Year 2 is live on Kickstarter! Here's how to pledge for the campaign.

Added 2023-09-05 12:30:00 +0000 UTC

Battlecrest is a card-based tactical skirmish game for 2 players (1-4 with expansions), unlike any other. Year Two expands the game with all new heroes, new abilities such as sacrifice, hurtle, and heal, a new map, and a new solo expansion. With perfect information, players must truly outwit their opponent to win. Players take turns maneuvering their characters around the hazard-filled map while unleashing powerful attacks. As action cards are used they open up new possibilities and empower the character’s battlecrests. Build up to decisive strikes or refocus to get powers back. Every character has a unique set of actions and preferred tactics, so no two battles play the same.

The first important thing is the campaign link:

Supporters of levels including a wallet game ($18+):
Battlecrest: Metronn Base Game with the Imperator II Solo expansion will be offered as the Featured Game in an upcoming BGotMC package. The Hype Hero Set and Battlecrest Expansion Collection #2 wallet will be bonus content in a package very soon. The two new additional Hero Sets (Griyan and Mub Zane) will not be included in the Club packages at any level. If you want to receive these heroes and the Battlecrest Expansion #3 wallet, we have a special item available on our website until the Kickstarter ends. For only $6 you can order the BGotMC Battlecrest Year 2 Heroes Upgrade; as this is not a full wallet game, it is not eligible for discounts. The order will be linked to your club package so you receive all of the new Year 2 content together. Please do not add anything else to this order as we cannot send other items with your club package.

As a member you will receive a discount, and all of the details are below. Any questions, just ask either in the comments here or on our Discord server.

Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter as a US member

For this campaign, we will NOT be using a pledge manager for US backers. You will need to calculate the amount to pledge based on the physical reward you wish to receive and the value of your club discount.

Choose the $1 Board Game of the Month Club Members reward level and adjust your pledge amount by adding bonus support. Find the reward level that you would like in the table below and subtract the discount for your patron level to find out how much to pledge. Kickstarter will add the shipping cost to your pledge. If you want to follow along, but do not want a physical reward, please support the no reward pledge.

Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter as an INTERNATIONAL (non-US) member

For this campaign we will be using Gamefound’s Pledge Manager again. Simply pledge for your chosen reward (make sure you choose the “international” version). Do NOT use the Board Game of the Month Club Members reward. Choose any add-on content you wish to include with your pledge, and you’re all set.

Shipping will be collected in the Pledge Manager, and your club discount will be added using your email address to link your Kickstarter and Patreon support. The items pledged for at Kickstarter will be transferred to your cart in the Pledge Manager and you will be able to finalize the content of your reward there, adding any games from the Button Shy catalog and making an additional payment for content and shipping if required.

When the Pledge Manager opens, if you do not see the credit, we will be able to update it manually; this will most likely happen if your Kickstarter name and email address is different to your Patreon name and email address. Please email buttonshyhelp@gmail.com when the pledge manager opens if you need us to apply the credit to a different Gamefound account.

Any questions, just ask either in the comments here or on our Discord server.

Metronn: a massive city filled with neon color and alien architecture. In the labyrinth of alleys between districts a grinning sentrybot chases a twisted figure, bent by dark magic. As their battle explodes suddenly in the middle of the street, bystanders run for cover while cameras broadcast every move to giant screens. Finally, a spectacle worthy of Metronn.

The Metronn Base Game includes two heroes, Kaladeos and Exa (and her minion, Sparkles), and the Metronn map. All in just 18 cards, packed in our little wallets. No additional components are needed to play (unless you want to play solo or 3-4 player teams, then read on!)

The Imperator solo expansion is included with all pledges. It enables gameplay for one player to play as any hero against any other hero using these 6 solo Command cards and that hero’s AI rules insert. You can play these on their own, or combined with the original Imperator cards that were released in our first campaign (and are now available in Battlecrest: Expansion Collection #1).

How about some more heroes? With more heroes you can get a lot of variety out of your games. You can also play them in solo (either as or against them) and even play 3-4P team games. There are 2 new additional heroes being offered in this campaign: Griyan and Mub Zane. They will come packaged in their own Expansion Collection wallet.
