Good evening Mayors,
Just a quick announcement to remind you all that there is only 24 hours left to update your add-ons over on Backerkit! In exactly 1 day from now we'll be locking down orders, so follow that Backerkit e-mail and make sure that you've secured everything that you want!
If you're following us on Discord or Social Media you'll have seen the variety of spoilers we've been leaking for both the main set, and the Hero Packs. Since this is your last chance to secure extra Hero Packs from Backerkit, hopefully this easy-to-view graphic showing off all of the Hero Pack cards we've spoiled so far will help you to decide if you wanted to add any more!
Also a reminder that the Hero Pack prints won't all look like this. Cardsin the Hero Packs will recieve treatments that they won't get in the main set!
Things you've seen, and some things that you can't quite see!
If you're having any difficulties or have any further questions, fire us a message here or come find us in our discord channel - https://discord.gg/QJFsxkxCzP
Until next time,

Shipping updates and Backerkit deadline!
almost 3 years ago
– Mon, Oct 30, 2023 at 03:54:23 PM
Good evening Mayors,
Thank you so much for your recentpatience. As our initial shipping partner didn't quite meet our expectations, we wanted to make sure we found shipping solutions that worked for everyone. Unfortunately, that took longer than expected. We're now happy to now be able to show you a revised shipping estimates chart! Please note that these are still estimates: as we aren't charging shipping until next year we can't give you exact numbers now, but barring any global shipping emergencies these should be accurate.
If you've added a few smaller items through backerkit it won't make much of a difference to your shipping, but if you've added an entire tier, or several booster boxes, your shipping cost will rise in line with how close it takes you to the next tier. e.g - If you backed the Platinum Paw Tier and added 3 more booster boxes in Backerkit, your shipping estimate will fall between Platinum Paw Tier and Diamond Paw Tier!
The latest, most accurate shipping updates.
As a token of our appreciation for everyone's patience, we've decided to bump up the 'community vote promo' stretch goal from a single copy to a full playset. Every backer will receive this with their order, and the vote will be happening very soon.
Since these shipping estimates are now available, we are confirming that the end date for Backerkit is NOVEMBER 17th, 2023. Please ensure you've finalised your add-ons by then!
Hero Packs are also on the cusp of going to print, pending test prints and finalisation of some graphic design. As such we'll be sending out a brief Backerkit survey in the near future for you to confirm whether or not you want your Hero Pack add-ons delivered early.
Many thanks again for being along for the ride! We're looking forward to revealing lots of the cool stuff we've been working on behind the scenes, including more stories and a new method for playtesting online that will coincide with our organised play 'beta' league.
Until next time,
Monster Channel
Shipping/Backerkit update

Just a short update today!
Unfortunately it's taking a little longer than we'd hoped to receive the new shipping estimates, so the final dates for Backerkit will be pushed back accordingly. We want to make sure that you all have time to finalise your pledges after we publish the estimates, so once we announce them you'll have 2 weeks to finalise your add-ons!
As soon as we have the information we'll be letting you all know, in the meantime thank you for your patience!

September update!
about 3 years ago
– Tue, Sep 12, 2023 at 02:59:14 PM
Hello Mayors!
We hope you’ve all had a good summer and that this update finds you well! We apologise that there hasn’t been a major update here for a little while, but we’ve been saving a few bits for a larger update post whilst continuing to work on everything behind the scenes.
So what’s been happening?
Artwork Production Continues:
Our talented artists have been diligently working to transfer our creative visions to paper. If you've been following us on social media or are part of our Discord community, you might have seen some of our latest card reveals! For those who may have missed them, we've included a selection of them at the end of this update.
Art is a constant process and even as I type this we have a lot of pieces currently in being worked on. We’re excited to say that we’re approaching the 33% milestone for having the full set illustrated!
Last Chance for Additional Orders with Backerkit:
Backerkit has been open for around 2 months at this point, so we’re going to be lockingin orders at the end of September, specifically at Midnight on September 30th! If you've been thinking about adding more items to your pledge, or if you know someone who missed the Kickstarter campaign that would like you to pick them up some cards, now is the time to act!
We've also had a few people asking if it's possible to pre-order anything if they missed out on the Kickstarter campaign. Unfortunately right now there's no way to do that, it's backer-only. We will be opening a pre-order store nearer the end of the year, so those of you who missed out on the Kickstarter can still get yourself some cards!
Stretch Goal Rewards:
Speaking of Backerkit, we’d like to thank you all for all of your extra orders! It didn’t take long for the extra money raised to unlock the Community Vote Promo goal, and we’re only a few thousand dollars away from the Full Art Basic Building Set goal unlocking! If we manage to reach that goal before the end of the month then that will be another cool freebie for everyone who backed :)
Speaking of the Community Vote Promo card, we’ll be holding the vote in October once the Backerkit orders have been finalised, so please look forward to that!
Updated Shipping Table:
We know many of you are eager to know more about the shipping costs for your rewards, and we're sorry that it's taken so long to get that information to you. Long story short, after all the details were discussed we ended up not being entirely happy with the fulfilment company that we’d been in talks with. Things were thus delayed a little as we looked around for someone who provided services that would satisfy what we wanted. Having now found that someone, we’re in the final steps of having a much more accurate shipping table available to you all.
As such, laterthis week we'll be uploading an updated shipping table so that you all have a more accurate idea of what shipping will cost. While the prices aren't final, we've done our best to provide estimates that are as close to the actual costs as possible at this stage.
Because we won’t be shipping until next year, Backerkit won’t charge you shipping until we’re a lot closer to shipping the final product, so don’t worry about being charged for that at the end of the month.
Tabletop Simulator League Announcement:
We're thrilled to announce that we'll be hosting a 1 month long Tabletop Simulator League, that will be beginning in October! This is a fantastic opportunity for our backers and followers to showcase their skills and immerse themselves in the world of the Animal Kingdom TCG. We'll be releasing specific details about the tournament next week, including rules, registration information, and the list of new cards that you can use to edit your deck. Get ready to put your card-playing prowess to the test!
This will a prototype for Animal Kingdom's Organised Play Program, and we'll have a prizes available for those who earn them throughout the month!
We appreciate your patience and continued support as we work tirelessly to make Animal Kingdom TCG a reality. None of this would be possible without all of you and your enthusiasm and dedication.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us either here on Kickstarter, or through ourDiscord or Social Media channels,which are linked below!
Thank you for being part of our Animal Kingdom TCG community, and stay tuned for more exciting updates in the near future!
Backerkit Survey and Add-on stores are live!
about 3 years ago
– Wed, Jul 12, 2023 at 01:09:45 PM
Backerkit Surveys have now been sent out to everyone!
It may take up to an hour for yours to get to you due to the amount being sent out, so be sure to keep an eye on your e-mailsand your spam, in case it gets filtered! These surveys ask a few basic questions pertinent to the tiers that you all backed, and offer you the chance to add additional product to your orders.
We'll be keeping the survey and store open for at least a month, so you don't need to rush to finalise your order. We'll be giving you all plenty of notice before we do close it, so keep an eye on your e-mails and here on Kickstarter for updates!
If anyone here has any issues with anything, don't hesitate to contact us on here, or via backerkit itself.
