Warlords of the Steppes - A Board Game of Heroes & Monsters

Good News & Late Pledges Are Ended
23 days ago – Fri, May 15, 2026 at 06:18:45 AM

Hello Warband!

As of today, we’ve closed the late pledge option because we’re finally ready to ship the games!

Yes, the process took a little longer than expected, both because we’re a small studio and due to a few unfortunate setbacks, but Warlords of the Steppes is now complete and waiting to reach your hands. All content (including the expansions) has been produced, packed, and received by us. The only collector’s accessory we’re still waiting on is the keychains, but those should arrive early next week as well. We can already hear the thunder of galloping warhorses!

Next week, we’ll send all of you emails containing your shipping tracking numbers. And since the games will be shipped by air, they should arrive quickly (2-3 days max). So, unless another unexpected issue appears, the games should be in your hands next week.

After we send out the tracking numbers, we’ll post one final update containing our closing thoughts and final notes about the project. Your support made this game possible and taught us a great deal. Once again, thank you endlessly!

See you next week!

Below, you can see a photo we excitedly (and very unprofessionally) took of boxes filled with copies of Warlords of the Steppes.

You Love Boardgames, What About TTRPGs?

Hello Warband!

We are actually planning to include a brochure inside each Warlords box that will lead you to our new project page. However, due to the delays, we wanted to share this update early so you don’t miss out on the Early Bird opportunities.

Just like Warlords, these two books are the result of great passion and hard work. They’re not a board game this time, but as many of you D&D fans will recognize, this is a 5E sourcebook and adventure module. 

You can click here to visit the pre-save page to explore the content in detail, but here’s a quick summary:

🔥 A sprawling 5E+ adventure for characters of levels 4–12
🐉 A huge bestiary filled with nightmarish monsters
💀 2 new classes with subclass options (Vitamancer and Witch)
❤️‍🔥 A new school of magic: Vitamancy
🩸 Expanded rules for injuries, healing, and surgery
🌿 An advanced herbalism system
🕯️ A large collection of subclasses, spells, and magic items

You can also download the Demo Booklet from the project’s pre-save page.

Our project launches tomorrow: Tuesday, May 28. If you share our passion for TTRPGs, don’t forget to follow it so you don’t miss out!

 

Update of the Week
about 1 month ago – Thu, Apr 23, 2026 at 02:44:09 PM

Hello all!

We think it’s time to share an update regarding the production and delays. We’ve received most of the game components, albeit later than expected. We personally visited the production facilities and carried out our quality checks. The only issue was with the cutting of the smaller cards, so they will be reprinted and cut again this week.

We’re very close to receiving the final products and shipping them out to you. Until then, we’ll continue to share regular updates here at every step of the process.

See you soon!

A Quick Update About Production and Shipping
2 months ago – Mon, Apr 06, 2026 at 02:11:24 PM

Hello Warband,

Production and Shipping Update!
3 months ago – Wed, Feb 25, 2026 at 07:21:25 AM

Hello Warband!

The calculations are done, we’ve spoken with various shipping partners, and we’re ready to move forward!

The games are currently at the printing house and have officially entered production. It took time but we found a local printing house with experience about boardgames. We’ve completed our final checks! What happens next lies in the hands of the production gods. If no mischievous underworld spirits interfere with our work, we’ll have the games in our hands very soon. After that, we’ll move quickly to ship them out to all of you.

We kindly ask you to check your emails and complete the shipping survey process through your BackerKit panel. We’re happy to share that we were largely able to stay within the shipping estimates we projected and listed on the project page, so you shouldn’t encounter any major surprises. Since the number of copies being shipped per country isn’t very high, we weren’t able to secure better shipping deals than anticipated. Next time, hopefully!

The one exception is Turkey. Since we’re based here, we were able to arrange a better deal and bring shipping costs below our original estimates.

Please note: shipping fees may appear higher than expected until you fully enter your address details. The correct amount will be displayed at the final step. If you believe there’s an error, don’t hesitate to message us.

Over the past few days, some of you reached out regarding address changes. We’re happy to say that everything appears to be functioning properly on our end. At this stage, it’s enough if you simply double-check your address one final time through backerkit.

We’ll dedicate a few weeks to resolve possible issues and making sure everyone has completed their shipping process. After that, we’ll send out your tracking numbers.

To ensure faster delivery, all shipments will be sent by air, so they shouldn’t take long to reach you. 

We’re incredibly excited! See you on the steppes!
