How to back Rebirth on Kickstarter

On May 21, the pre-orders for Rebirth open on Kickstarter. We’re so excited for this Reiner Knizia game! Rebirth is a new tile-laying game for 2 – 4 players with easy to learn rules, which makes it a perfect game to play with family and friends!

Backing a game on Kickstarter?

First of all – what does backing a game mean? It basically means you pre-order a game on Kickstarter – a crowdfunding platform where you can support creative projects (by “backing” them) to help bring them to life. You pre-order the game on the campaign page, get charged when the campaign successfully finishes and will be asked for your shipping information when the games are ready to be sent from the factory.

Backing a game on Kickstarter usually means you get the game before it hits the local shops and often you get a lot of exclusives with it that you’ll never find in stores!

Well first of all because if you pre-order Rebirth on Kickstarter, you get the exclusive Limited Edition! This edition will not be available again and won’t be available in retail.

Rebirth: Limited Edition is a unique copy that comes with a few exclusives. First of all, every copy is numbered, making each game unique. On top of that, you get €5 discount!

You’ll also get these beautiful printed clan bags (with clan logos the community voted on)!

And that’s not all. We will announce more surprises during the campaign! If you want to know what they are, you better go have a look at the Rebirth Kickstarter page 😉

On top of that – you will receive the game before it reaches stores! Can’t wait to get your hands on it? Then the pre-order option is for you.

How to pre-order Rebirth

1.  Make a Kickstarter account.

Kickstarter is a popular platform in the tabletop gaming space, and is a fantastic way to grow communities and connect backers and creators. Having an account allows you to back games, get access to backer-exclusive updates and more.

Note: Try to sign in manually, by using an actual email. Avoid signing in automatically with your Apple ID – Apple ID logins are known to bounce back our invitation emails, because they create a temporary, automated email address.

2. Choose a reward, or pledge level, from the right-hand side of the page.

A Kickstarter campaign usually offers different pledges. Every pledge level includes a list of items you’ll get if you pledge at that level. If you want to pre-order a copy of Rebirth, select the “Rebirth: Limited Edition” pledge.

3. Click ‘Continue’, check the amount, and click ‘Pledge’.

You have now selected the game you want to pre-order. Only at the end of the campaign, on June 12th, your credit card will be charged for your order.

4. Wait for an email inviting you to set up your Shipping info.

A couple of weeks after the campaign ends, you’ll get an email inviting you to the pledge manager, where you can manage your pledge. In the pledge manager, you can confirm or upgrade your pledge level, pay for shipping, and confirm your delivery address. You can check out the shipping cost estimates and more information about shipping zones on the Kickstarter campaign page (under “Shipping”). Your accurate shipping cost will be calculated in the pledge manager after the Kickstarter campaign ends.

5. Wait until you get an email to announce that your game is on the way.

Once the campaign is finished, we will start mass production of the games. During this time, we will keep you posted about the progress with Kickstarter updates. You will receive these automatically in your inbox when you’re a backer. Once the games have been printed, they will be shipped all over the world and you will receive an email with your tracking number. Rebirth should be sent out around September 2024, which means you’ll be able to play the game only 4 months after the campaign finishes!
