6 months ago – Wed, Oct 08, 2025 at 11:23:50 PM

Hi Backers,

We hope this message finds you well!

The start of the year brought its fair share of unexpected global changes (remember the trade tariffs and all that?). We know it's been a tumultuous period for everyone. However, things have thankfully started to stabilize, and we can finally share a range of exciting news that we hope will thrill you!

RONE: Invasion - New Expansion Launching Soon!

For those of you who follow our social channels, you might have already caught a glimpse, but we're officially announcing our brand-new Kickstarter project for the RONE: Invasion expansion: "Last Orders"!

We would be thrilled if you could show your support early by following the campaign page.

This expansion is a massive leap forward for RONE. It introduces a new game board, detailed standees, and a host of fresh mechanics designed to elevate your gameplay experience to a whole new level of strategic depth and excitement. We can't wait to share more about how "Last Orders" fundamentally changes the game—expect a dedicated deep-dive update very soon!

Meet Us at SPIEL Essen 2025!

Just like every year, we are proud to announce that we will be presenting our latest creations at the world’s largest public fair for board games: SPIEL Essen 2025!

We would love for you to stop by our booth, try out our new prototypes, give us your valuable feedback, and just say hi! Your support and enthusiasm are what keep us going.

Here’s a quick peek at what we’re bringing:

Cursed Village

In the cooperative board game Cursed Village, up to 4 players must work together to defend their village from monstrous threats. As the village's chosen heroes, you'll need to defeat a formidable boss and the creatures lurking in the surrounding lands.

You'll use clever strategy and resource management to recruit villagers, each with unique abilities, into your party. As you build your team, you'll also build your bag of tokens, which you'll use to perform various actions. Every choice you make, from who you recruit to how you prepare for battle, will be crucial to your survival.

Can you defeat the darkness and save the village from its cursed fate?

Stuffed Tussle

Stuffed Tussle is a bluffing card game for two players, where you step into the role of a plushie vying for the coveted title of “Favorite Toy” for the day. Leverage your plushie’s unique abilities, anticipate your opponent’s actions, deflect their attacks with clever card play, and prove that you rightfully deserve the prime spot in the crib.

The game is played in rounds. Each round, players secretly select a card from their hand to play. Once both players have chosen, they simultaneously reveal their cards and
place them face-up in their respective Active Card Zones. Following this, card effects are executed and the real tricks are revealed.

RONE: Invasion - Last Orders

The dust settles on the battlefield, but the war is far from over. The RONE: Invasion (Last Orders) expansion thrusts players into the final, desperate struggle for survival. The remnants of the enemy army have converged on your base, a last-ditch assault to wipe out the final vestiges of humanity.

This expansion introduces an entirely new game board, a fortified stronghold that must be defended at all costs. But you won’t face this threat alone. Now, your leader cards come to life as unique standees, a powerful visual representation of your heroes on the front lines. Use their newly introduced abilities to strategically command your forces, dismantle the invading horde, and secure your base against overwhelming odds. The fate of the wasteland hangs in the balance. Will you hold the line or fall to the final assault?

You can see the full list and find us in the official preview here.

Your Feedback Makes All the Difference!

Lastly, your voice truly matters to us. One of the best ways you can help us continue creating amazing games is by sharing your experiences.

If you love the game, please take a moment to rate RONE on the BoardGameGeek server! A high rating and a few kind words go a long way in helping new players discover the world you helped bring to life.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being the best backers a team could ask for. We couldn't do any of this without your initial support. We look forward to seeing you at our new campaign!

Happy Gaming!

Shipping progress - Part 5 + New Game Modes and Rulebook
about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 10, 2025 at 10:50:44 AM

Hello Backers,

this time I have more information for you, but let's start with the most important and that is the summary of the shipping.

European shipping

Everything should be received, if you still have not received your copy yet, please contact us to resolve the issue. 

Asia, and Australian shipping

Everything should be received, if you still have not received your copy yet, please contact us to resolve the issue. 

US + Canada shipping

The shipping date is set to the 13th of February, you should receive the email very soon.

Rulebook 1.02

I have worked and tested the game a lot during the last 4 months and here is the result of my work. I tried to implement all common questions into the new version of the rulebook and I hope they are now in a much better shape and help new players to understand the game way faster and better. 

The new rulebook can be downloaded on the project page.

Note: The version 1.01 has been already published in the Czech language and we will replace it everywhere with the new 1.02 version. The German translation is now being translated and should be available soon.

New game modes

I was listening to all the feedback I got via various channels and would like to present you 2 new game modes that will enrich your gaming experience. 

Equal Chances

This is a new cooperative mode, this mode improves the basic gameplay. There are a few differences that make the game more equal for different player counts. So now the game can't be easily defeated with the discard strategy in a smaller player count and is not that hard in a higher player count. I hope you will like the changes and I am waiting on your feedback. 

Speed Training

This is a new competitive mode. The purpose of this mode is to decrease the play time of the game by playing simultaneously. 

Note: I still feel there is room for improvement in how to speed up the game so there is more action, even during the one match, but this needs more time and testing and maybe this mode will be updated later.

Both game modes can be downloaded on the project page.

Thank you for the feedback I got so far and I am waiting on the next one so we can make the game together even better,

Stepan

Shipping progress - Part 5
about 1 year ago – Thu, Jan 09, 2025 at 10:11:37 PM

Hello Backers,

here is another info about the shipping progress. 

European shipping

Everything should be received, if you still have not received your copy yet, please contact us to resolve the issue. 

Asia, and Australian shipping

We still have not received the information about the landing at the Australian Hub, they left China's port on the 8th of December and usual delivery takes 3 weeks, so it should arrive soon. You can expect to start local shipping in two weeks. We will send the next update once we get the confirmation it starts.

US + Canada shipping

The ship should land on the 16th of January to the New York port, it will take about 3 weeks to move the cargo to the warehouse and start shipping. Our expected date of local shipping is the first week of February.

Further development

We are now testing the first update to the current scenarios and this will be released by the end of January. This contains some minor tweaks to the campaigns so you can enjoy the game even more without any additional content needing to be printed. You can also expect the new version of the rulebook where we tried to incorporate all the questions that arose from the European backers, so you can much more easily jump into the game without fewer questions.

 Stay tuned for the next update!

Thank you for your support,

Stepan

Shipping progress - Part 4
over 1 year ago – Sun, Nov 24, 2024 at 01:25:46 PM

Hello Backers,

here is the info about the shipping progress. 

European shipping

Everything should be received, if you still have not received your copy yet, please contact us to resolve the issue. 

Asia, and Australian shipping

The packages left the shipping center last week and if you still have not received an email about the delivery it should be very soon. We are working on to get the info about the estimated shipping dates. But it should be very close and we will send it once we get the info for each destination.

US + Canada shipping

Sadly, this is not the best news for you. We have finally resolved the problems at the port. The real issue was that the agent working for our forwarder left their job and no one was able to inform us about that and the cargo was stuck for the whole month without any notification. After weeks of new communication we finally got all the papers and the ship could leave the port in the next couple of days. This delay will cause the local shipping in the US and Canada to be postponed to January 2025. We will announce new update probably next week, once it leaves the port so you know it is finally moving towards you and give you the proper date of local shippping.

Thank you,

Stepan

Shipping progress - Part 3, How To Play video, More campaigns
over 1 year ago – Tue, Oct 15, 2024 at 01:06:08 PM

Hello Backers,

the next really exciting month is over and we would like to share some news with you.

European shipping

We managed to ship all the packages last week, some of them might not have tracking numbers so if you still do not have your game at home you should receive it in the next couple of days. If there is any issue with the package or the content feel free to send us a message and if it is possible we will do our best to fix it.

US, Asia, and Australian shipping

We will send a new update once we get all the necessary information on when the games in that region should be locally shipped. But here is the info we can confirm now.

US shipping - our shipping agent faced some troubles and the games got stuck at the port, but everything should be OK now, once we know the exact date of arrival to the US distribution center we will inform you in the next update. But we are sure it will not be during October. The estimated date is the end of November, or early December.

Asia shipping - the games will be shipped out the next week.

Australia shipping - the transport to the destination port is underway

How-To-Play video

As some of you have questions about the rules of the game I created the how-to-play video where I am explaining the whole game and showing a few first rounds so you can see how the game works. If you still have any questions after you watch the video feel free to ask. 

This is not a professional video but it contains all the rules and I hope it will be helpful for everyone and answer all frequently asked questions. We will rework the video later once we get more feedback from players so it covers all the basic questions in a much better way and quality.

More campaigns online

There are a lot of scenarios in the Kickstarter version of the game, but I still feel there is space to discover more from the RONE universe so I decided to create new PnP campaigns with more flavor texts (which was sadly not unlocked during the KS campaign), with different mechanisms so you can enjoy the game in a new way. All of these campaigns will be downloadable for free from our website. These camping will be also available in our next Kickstarter campaigns.

If anyone wants to join the development, you are welcome to join our discord channel.

Do you have any other questions?

If you are not sure about any aspect of the game feel free to send us a message directly from our website or use the BGG forum of the game.

Thank you,

Stepan
