Battle your friends in this fast-paced, easy to learn, yet deeply strategic high fantasy game featuring superbly crafted miniatures.

Story

The Broken Anvil Miniatures Team is proud to present RIVENSTONE, a brand new tabletop miniature skirmish wargame featuring highly detailed miniatures and thrilling tempo-based gameplay!

Our team of veteran artists, designers, and developers have poured their combined decades of experience and heaps of enthusiasm into the creation of Rivenstone over the course of nearly two years, resulting in the game we’ve always wanted to play. Now, we’re bringing it to you—the community we love—to enjoy and experience for yourself.


Rivenstone is an alternating activation, skirmish-style tabletop wargame designed to appeal to players of all experience levels. The rules are easy to understand and play, with loads of strategic depth to explore and experience on the tabletop. Reinforcement mechanics prevent a player from losing to attrition, creating a game focused on tempo based decisions and tactical planning instead.

While demo players have raved about the fast-paced and relentless fun of Rivenstone, it isn’t just a game. It’s an introduction to a fantastic new domain; the world of Venn. Our team at BAM HQ continues to expand Venn every day as we develop future releases, weaving together rich lore and creating compelling characters to connect players to Rivenstone beyond the tabletop.

  • Rewards returned as “Undeliverable” will be held and our team will attempt to make contact with the backer via email to make new arrangements to ship. Additional shipping fees may be required if the information provided in the pledge manager is incorrect. If contact cannot be made with the backer within 30 days of the item’s return, it will be considered forfeit and disentitle the backer to any refund.

Broken Anvil Miniatures reserves the right to 

  • make changes to the function and/or appearance of the items presented during the Kickstarter campaign for the purpose of product improvement.
  • cancel and refund pledges from individuals who engage with Broken Anvil staff in an inappropriate and/or abusive manner on any platform at our discretion.

  • After 14 days and before the 45 day mark, only 85% of a pledge’s value may be refunded due to card processing and platform fees. (Runs 12PM PDT, 06/09/2022 – 12PM PDT, 07/10/2022)
  • Refunds requested 45 days after campaign close cannot be granted as manufacturing will be underway. 
  • Should Broken Anvil Miniatures be unable to deliver a reward item for any reason, backers will receive a full refund for the item’s value.

RETAILERS

Broken Anvil Miniatures designed the retailer tier to help spread costs out for stores while allowing coverage of production costs. Here’s how it works:

  •  During the Campaign – Retailers commit to a small holding fee of $60. 
  •  Six to eight weeks after closing – Purchase Orders and a deposit equalling 25% of the order total (minus the $60 holding fee) are due at this time. Retailers are entitled to 50% off MSRP, free domestic shipping, and access to the entire Rivenstone line including Kickstarter exclusive content with a minimum order value of $600USD. NOTE: For reference, the MOQ value covers approximately 1 of each available SKU, dependent upon the number of Stretch Goals unlocked by campaign close.  
  •  When product is ready to ship – Balance of the PO is due in full.
  •  Brick and Mortar Retailer Verification Policy: Please note that if verification of a retailer’s “brick and mortar” status cannot be provided after campaign close, the $60 deposit will be considered forfeit. 

Broken Anvil Miniatures is based in the US, therefore all prices listed in this campaign are in USD. Due to constant fluctuation in currency exchange rates, backers not utilizing USD should expect the comparative value of their pledge to fluctuate as well. 

The final exchange rate will lock when Kickstarter charges backers’ cards at the campaign’s close.
