Latest Updates from Our Project:

Manufacturing is Nearly Complete + An Assembly Video
10 days ago – Fri, Feb 27, 2026 at 01:20:24 PM

Hello Raiders,

Exciting news as we are approaching the end of manufacturing. Assembly has begun and containers have begun loading! See for yourself below :)

Assembly Video From The Manufacturer!

Boxes officially began assembly before Chinese New Year with the goal of getting packed up on a boat and hitting the waters in the near future!

Our manufacturer shared this clip with us to show off to everyone:

Look at them in all their glory!

Now to break things down more:

What We Know

Our English games made the boats before CNY! They are on their way to their respective hubs, with an ETA that aligns with our fulfillment schedule.

What We Need To Confirm

Once our manufacturer returns from holiday, we will need to confirm with them the status of the translated games as well as all of our Gamegenic items. 

With the scramble before CNY present this year even more than previous, we will get our final, more detailed fulfillment timeline for you all in the near future. Keep an eye out for that update next month once we have had a chance to align with our manufacturer.

But that's all for now. If you need us, you know how to reach us, and we hope you have a wonderful rest of your week :)

Until Next Raid,

Fulfillment is Still On Track For April! Let's Talk Shipping and Tariffs
about 2 months ago – Mon, Jan 12, 2026 at 07:07:45 AM

Hello Raiders,

As promised, we are continuing to update monthly to ensure everyone is fully up to date on all things Clash of Clans: The Epic Raid!

This time around, there is no significant news regarding fulfillment timelines, except that there is no update on them! Things are still on schedule for our April fulfillment date. When exactly in April will depend on when everything arrives from the boats to the fulfillment centers, but that is for us to figure out and you to be excited for :)

With April just around the corner, though, we do need to talk about final housekeeping for your orders. All that to say, we will soon be charging for...

Shipping, Tariffs, and Taxes

Dun dun dunnnnn. It's everyone's favorite! Well, maybe not, but we are here to make it easy and efficient so everyone can get back to eagerly awaiting fulfillment.

Luckily, everyone who has filled out their survey already has their card on file with Backerkit, so it will just be a matter of us (or you!) clicking a button to gather these funds.

If you haven't already filled out your survey, there's no time like the present. If you aren't familiar with Backerkit surveys and missed them the first go around, we strongly encourage you to read our update explaining everything about them HERE.

We won't be charging for everything just yet, though. We are still setting things up on the backend and want to give everyone time before hitting go. We plan to charge for shipping and tariffs on January 3Oth.

As for how these charges are calculated, rest assured that we are not making any money from these final charges. We are just here to ensure that the tax man and our couriers get the money they need to bring the raid to your tabletop. We charge no more than what we are charged to fulfill the order.

Soon, ideally later this week, everyone will be able to see how much they will be charged. If you want to be ambitious and charge the cards yourselves, by all means, just proceed to the end of the survey and hit place my order.

Otherwise, we will charge the card on file on the 30th. If the card on hand doesn't work, that's okay. We will work with you to put a new card on file or simply find a better time for it that works for you.

If you want to estimate how much your shipping will cost, please refer to the shipping estimates table from the campaign page. While not exact, it does a great job of giving you an idea. As for tariffs and taxes, the items will be coming in from China, so they will be in line with any standard tariff/tax charges an item would incur when imported into your country.

That's all for this update. If you have any questions, you know where to find us! We hope everyone has a fantastic week, and thank you as always for your support. We are so close to getting this in everyone's hands.

Until The Next Raid,

~The Maestro Team

Confirmation of Our Estimated Fulfillment Date, Production Has Begun + New Photos!
3 months ago – Fri, Dec 19, 2025 at 01:12:41 PM

Hello Raiders!

We are incredibly excited to share with everyone that we are still on track to begin fulfillment in April 2026, and we have officially started manufacturing!

We will share more specific dates, like when in April fulfillment begins and when we plan to charge for shipping, in a future update. We just wanted to make sure everyone was as up to date as possible going into the holidays, even if it is just a simple everything looks good.

Fun Photos Of The Game!

We hope everyone is just as stoked as we are as we get closer and closer to everyone raiding at the table! To help tide everyone over, we've also have some awesome photos (and a video!) of the Essen prototype version of the game and some of the accessories to show off :)


Thank you all again for your support throughout the campaign and continued support after. We are marching along steadily towards making an awesome game!!

If you have any questions about the schedule or anything else, please feel free to drop them in the comments. Otherwise, enjoy the holidays!

Until next raid,

Development is Locked + Expansion Rulebooks and More!
5 months ago – Wed, Oct 08, 2025 at 03:44:36 PM

Hello Raiders!

Gameplay Development is Locked!

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that development is locked for both the core game and the expansions! We have now moved to finalizing rulebooks and graphics for the game before we move into pre-production samples of everything.

Dark Elixir and Clan Wars Rulebooks

Things are moving fast as we continue to push ahead to remain on track for our Late April 2026 fulfillment timeline. As part of that, we need to ensure our rules make sense, flow well, and are free of spelling and grammatical errors. To that end, we are sharing the PDFs of both the Dark Elixir and Clan Wars Expansion rulebooks. We would love it if everyone could take the time to read through these and leave any comments, suggestions, and questions so we can work together and make the best game expansions possible. Please note that these are not graphically laid out, but do have all the information needed to learn how to play. We will keep comments open until the End of the Day tomorrow, before implementing all your feedback and getting graphics done on Friday.

Dark Elixir Rulebook

Clan Wars Rulebook

Show and Tell!

Finally, we want to share some fun progress. Our miniatures have now entered their red wax sampling phase. While we take a look and make adjustments to all the minis, we are very proud of how Wizard looks and we want to let him strut his stuff!


That's all for this update! We will be back next month for an update, where we ideally will tell you all that production has begun!

Until Next Raid,

Backerkit is Live!
7 months ago – Fri, Aug 22, 2025 at 02:04:52 PM

Hello Raiders,

Our smoke test has come and gone! With feedback addressed and issues corrected, we are all set to launch Backerkit! Those who did not use the Pay Over Time function should see surveys in their inboxes over the next ~24 hours. If you did use Pay Over Time, your survey should be sent to your inbox after the final payment processes on the 18th. 

During the smoke test, we encountered an issue where language selection was unavailable. This has been resolved, but to our 31 wonderful backers who already filled out the survey, please click the survey link that was emailed this morning and select your language and add-ons.

Below is the commonly asked questions section from the previous update, in case anyone missed it and is confused about an element of the survey!

Common Backerkit Questions

I pledged using an Apple Relay Email

If you pledged with an Apple Relay Email or any other type of email fabricator, including logging in through Facebook, you may not get the email from Backerkit letting you know that the pledge manager is open. Please reach out to us here if you fall into this camp so we can update the Backerkit email for you!

What do I do if I am missing my free pre-commit Archer and Barbarian tiles or Golden Barbarian Figure?

If you backed the campaign in the first 48 hours and do not see the Golden Barbarian King, please reach out to us via Kickstarter DMs or our Contact US page. If you signed up for our pre-commit page and backed using the same email, please also reach out via Kickstarter DMs or our Contact US page if you do not see the pre-commit tiles. We will work to get these added to your survey!

My Pledge failed on Kickstarter. What do I do?

Your unpaid pledge amount will still filter into Backerkit, and you will still have the opportunity to pay for your pledge there. Just fill out your survey like normal!

When will I get my Backerkit Invite?

There are over 2,200 backer emails to send out, so it will take some time to get everyone their surveys. Please be patient and check your Spam/Junk folders for an email from Maestro Media if you do not see an email within 24 hours. Please reach out to us if you do not receive a survey link by Monday and have not used the Pledge Over Time feature.

That’s all for now! Happy surveying and enjoy your weekend! If you are unfamiliar with Backerkit, please read yesterday’s update for a step-by-step guide on how it works!

Until the Next Raid,

~The Maestro Team
