Hi all, it has been a while.

Any fans of Avalon Hill's Circus Maximus or Ben Hurt (by Cheapass game)?

Victory Points Game is now having a chariot racing game - Chariots of Rome in Kickstarter:


If anybody is interested in getting a copy, maybe we can combine together to do a group order (up to three copies) and save shipping and also cost for the game.

Alan Emrich (VPG's President) have mentioned that even if KS goal is not meet, VPG is still going to publish the game (smaller print run) and send it to the supporter's

So, let me know if anybody in this list (or still in this list) is interested in doing a group order.

I'll see if I can dredge up $40 before it ends and send you a note if I do.  I am in trouble right now for spending too much.

Ok Ken, so how would this work?  We send you the money and you order three copies?

Well,

Since it is Kickstarter, I don't need the money yet. 

Just a nay or ya that you are in.

Right now, I have just pledge  $74 for 2 copies (mine and Jeff's) 

My CC is not charged yet. But will see what is going to happen.

Since I trust you guys :)

When I received the game, will contact you guys and have a meet, deliver and paid up etc.

If you want it, I will increase my pledge to 3 copies of the game.

By the look of things. KS still need $5110 more in order for the project to be funded and my CC will automatic get charged. 

If the project do not get funded, it will be up to Alan on how to handle it (like if he decide still to go to print, he will contact me and stuffs etc)

So if you want in, please notify me and I will pledge more.

The game is not due until this coming November

Hey Mark and Jeff,

The Kickstarter campaign does not launch for Chariots of Rome.

However, Victory Points game decide to change it to a pre-order system, with the same pricing as before - $105 for 3 copies and estimated shipping of $19

I have already go over to the new pre-order site and order 3 copies (one for me, one for Jeff and one for Mark).

My Credit Card is being charged, so no harm done to you both.

There is an addition add on

For $7 you get a Bonus Team pack which will have the following:

This add-on includes 6 extra Fate cards, 4 more Charioteer cards, 2 Faction mats and their associated counters, plus Egg and Dolphin counters to keep track of the laps as they did in the Circus Maximus. There is no extra shipping cost to include this add-on in your pledge.


If you guys want it, please let me know, so I can change my pledge.

The game will be due around November 2017.

So when the games arrived, I will let you guys know and schedule a meetup and do the money/goods exchange etc.

ttyl

Thanks, Ken for handling this. I'll stick with just the basic game.
