If extra miniatures are unlocked can more people play?
Yes, with 6 or more miniatures up to 6 players can play at once. Extra minis also allow for more choice and ensure each game is unique!

I'm seeing some differences between Victor and Vitor on some of the cards?
In the competed game Victor Kruger will be on the modern Kurgan character sheet and Vitor will be on the ancient Kurgan character sheet. Due to customer feedback (and the kind folks at Studio Canal) we were able to use the name Vitor, where originally it was going to be Victor!

How do I add Osta Vasilek to my pledge?
We are proud to reveal our only add-on for this project, created just for our kickstarter backers!
If you purchase this add on you will receive 2 models of Osta Vasilek taking him from his ancient monk origins to his modern day pugilist. Each model will be made of white metal and will come with a character sheet to integrate him into the game.
To add Osta Vasilek to your pledge, follow these steps:
-
Click the “manage your pledge” button on the project’s page. If you have not pledged yet it will say ‘back this project’.
-
Increase your pledge by £10. If you wish multiple copies of Vasilek you can increase your pledge by the approppriate amount (£10 per copy of Vasilek add-on)
-
Save your pledge. Do not change the tier that you originally pledged at. After the campaign finishes we will be using a pledge manager to organise your pledge. You will also be able to add Osta to your pledge at this time if you haven’t already.

How much will shipping cost?
We will be charging shipping costs after the Kickstarter ends, based on the actual costs incurred to ship. We will collect this in our pledge manager after the end of the campaign. We will ship your rewards at our cost to our international hubs. Depending on where you are, we will either ship to you from our hub in NA or the UK. As an estimate, the shipping charge is tabled below, but this may increase or decrease depending on mitigating factors, the quantity of stretch goals we unlock and your choices. Please note that while we do our best to get you your rewards in a timely manner and at the best delivery cost we can, you may not necessarily receive your rewards before the product makes it into distribution in your own country or before it’s made available in conventions and special promotion opportunities. We hope that the special price you will get during the Kickstarter will make up for any such possible lag. However, if this is something that is not acceptable to you, please do not back this project, and instead wait for the retail release. Thank you for your understanding.

How long is the game?
The game takes approximately 20-40 minutes to play, but is longer the more players are in the game.

Ramirez seems to be played by a different actor than I remember, why?
I’m afraid the licensor requested we not use any likenesses of Sir Sean Connery in the game, so we have used a substitute whilst trying to keep faithful to Ramirez’ character. This does allow us to have a little more freedom when planning his alternate miniatures as well…

Where is Duncan MacLeod? Or characters from the comics?
Highlander, The Board Game is based off the original Highlander movie and does not incorporate elements from the sequels, TV show, comics, or other media. There can be only one!

Are the game components in the 'how to play' videos the same quality as what will be in the final game?
No, the components you see in both the ‘how to play’ video, and the Beasts of War ‘let’s play’ video are early prototypes and not representative of the quality of components that will be in the final game.

I'm not a fan of elimination games, however short, is there another way to play?
Yes, there is a variant mode in which players draw a new immortal if their immortal is beheaded before the quickening, this gives them a chance to emerge victorious though they will have to work much harder for it!

Can I change my pledge after the campaign ends?
Hi all, we have looked into our options and will be using a third party pledge manager to organise receiving shipping payments. The upside to this is it means that you will be able to change your pledge level or purchase Osta Vasilek as an add-on after the kickstarter ends!

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
