Yes, it's true!
We are excitedly getting ready to launch the 2nd Edition of Who Goes There? on
Kickstarter in early 2020.
What's new in 2.0?
There's a lot to look forward to, but the main Things we are excited
about are the introduction of keys for locked events, more powerful med kits to
help prevent early game elimination, and additional clarity during game play
just to name a few. Of course, the addition of four new specialty
characters has me most excited. These will be offered by way of two new
expansions.
What does this mean for you and your 1st Edition Game?
Don't worry, your game will not be obsolete and you won't have to buy a whole new game.
For any gameplay related changes, we will offer an upgrade pack that can simply exchange the old
for the new in your existing box. We fully intend to make this easy for
you. The additional playable characters are optional for you as well, of course,
but this is still considered a 3 to 6 player game. The extra characters
simply add specialties and variety.
No more Deluxe!
Turns out the Deluxe version most of you have with all 8 characters is a
limited edition. Moving forward, we will only produce the 4 character base game
with the option to buy the expansion characters separately. We are
currently out of the base game, but still have some deluxe games left that we
will offer during the campaign as well.
International Backers:
Our license for Who Goes There? is broken down into two parts. Our US/Canada
license is for 7 years, so we still have 4 years left, but the international
license expires July 2020. So the 2nd Edition, changes for 2.0, and
character expansions will only be available to international backers during
this Kickstarter campaign. We are still allowed to deliver after that
time, which will be the case, but the orders have to be received prior to
July 1. Therefore, please make sure you don't miss it if you are interested.
It sucks that it has to expire at all, but we are grateful for having had
this opportunity with such a great property nonetheless.
We hope you are all as excited as we are! More updates to come, but mark
your calendars for early 2020!
