You can add an add-on to your pledge by increasing the amount of your pledge with the price of the add-on. You can use the pledged amount in the pledge manager when the campaign ends to add the add-on to your order. Adding an add-on doesn’t increase the shipping cost.

7002 CE. It’s been five years since a mysterious cataclysm destroyed several colonies on the planet Yortar. The subsequent gravitational distortions ravaged the planet and ended the golden age of interplanet trade and mining. Completely forsaken by the rest of the universe, the remaining colonies have endured in solitude behind their protective domes. But their survival has come at a great cost as revolts and banishments have vastly altered most societies.

As the dust of social unrest is settling and the endless spacetime fluctuations are finally starting to diminish, the new leadership of each colony is looking outward again but with different agendas. Some leaders want to research new technologies to rebuild and improve living conditions for their citizens. Others will be seeking domination over the other colonies through conquest or by manipulating the exiled. Certain are hoping to reclaim their vast riches by rebuilding the abandoned gold mines and controlling trade. Some are only interested in answers, or even better, satisfy the general lust of the populace for vengeance. What and who caused the cataclysm? Are the rumors about secret experiments with a warping portal true?

Whichever road is chosen, the results will determine what species will remain in power and which will succumb to revolution.

Multiplayer

In this standard competitive mode all players will take on each other to achieve the most mission points. With the extreme amount of possibilities to configure a game the replayability is almost unlimited and with random setup you will never play the same game twice.

Team Mode

It’s also possible to play The Warp in team mode. In this mode you will co-operate with a teammate to defeat your common foes. Team mode offers you the chance to discuss your individual strategy and draft your alien species and missions together during setup. With the base game you can play 2 vs 2. The expansion also makes it possible to play 2 vs 2 vs 2.

Solo Mode

The game features a campaign based solo mode against an automa rival. You start with a limited pool of aliens to choose from. Like in the multiplayer game you combine 2 of them for your current mission. Choose an alien rival with a specific playing style and a unique way of scoring mission points. When you succeed you can recruit the alien species for your further adventures on the planet Yortar and you will unlock new rivals. 

Of course we are completely convinced about The Warp, but the game has been playtested by many players. Here are some other opinions about the game:

Shipping will be charged through the pledge manager when the campaign is over. You don’t have to add it to your pledge amount. You can find the safe estimates in the table below. Final prices will depend on the final weight and the volume we have to ship. Also big changes in the EUR/USD conversion rate can cause fluctuations. We’ll do our best to maintain the prices listed below and we will provide clear communication if there would be a reason to increase them.

We are quite experienced in shipping through Europe so we’ll process these shipments ourselves so we can guarantee a high standard. For other regions we’ll use partners that are experienced in the fulfilment of board games.

You can find more information about the group pledge in update 14 on Kickstarter. Adding the Alien add-on pack doesn’t increase the shipping price!

We are Jumping Turtle Games a board game publisher based in Belgium. We published our first game in 2013 and both do localizations as introduce our own titles. We have introduced several new authors in the past years and now we are very excited to launch this campaign for The Warp from Thomas Snauwaert. Thomas did a tremendous work developing and balancing this game and it was a pleasure working with him. He is very open for comments about the gameplay and always found solutions for problems we and other playtesters challenged him with.

With about 40 games and expansions published and 7 years of experience we aren’t new to the business. We know what we have to do to bring the game to the market. The Warp is fully tested (over 200 playtests) and we are eager to get this game published. We hope we also got you excited for our game and you want to support us during this campaign to make the dream of Thomas and us a reality!
