Dear backers,
you just should have received an email from "BackerKit". They ask you to confirm your address and if you want to purchase additional games. They will also add the shipping costs.
You have enough time to answer this survey - at least until August. I will send out a reminder message before the deadline is reached.
In the meantime I work on the layout of all the files.
Kind regards,
Lonny
Priority Deal Marker

Dear backers,
thank you for your answering the survey.
So far 367 backers answered it, of which 345 made a valid vote.
69,86% voted for the Iberian lynx.
15,94% voted for the letter Ñ.
12,46% don't care.
1,74% want neither of the two suggestions.
The result is clear: The Iberian lyns will be the priority deal marker.
What I didn't realized that with this survey you had to confirm your address data. Because you will have to do it again. I will explain: There are two platforms (as far as I got it): Kickstarter and BackerKit (and both are related in some way). Kickstarter is the platform where you backed 18ESP. BackerKit is the so called "pledge manager", where I can collect shipping costs and orders for add-ons.
The last survey was sent via kickstarter. The next one will be send via BackerKit. It will first come as a "smoke test" which means only 5% of you will receive it. After a few days I will send the survey to the rest of you.
All the best

Dear 427 backers,
Thank you very much! We reached 38.698€. 18España becomes reality. The stretch goal "Playbook" wasn't reached, but we will add a playbook.
We will also add a share boord to store all the shares and which function as IPO zone.
And we work on a 2-player version.
For now: Thank you again!

Next stretch goal reached and other news

Dear backers,
We have a lot of news for you!
Next stretch goal reached
We reached the next stretch goal of 35,000: A tile and upgrade chart for each player. We are very thankful for trusting in our project.
Only less than 2 days left
The campaign is entering the home stretch. If you haven't backed until now - this is the time to do it. :-)
2-player variant
Although it doesn't look like that we will reach the 50,000 stretch goal we are happy to announce that a 2-player version will be added. It will be similar to the famous Bohemian variant of 18CZ.
Priority Deal Marker
A little discussion came up if we could change the priority deal marker from an "Ñ" into something else. After the campaign has ended we will start a poll on boardgamegeek about this issue. We will come up with details.
All the best

We reached a stretch goal!

Dear backers,
Stretch goal reached!
We reached the stretch goal of €30,000: A wooden priority deal marker in the shape of a capital "N" with a tilde (a typical Spanish punctuation mark). A tribute to Scott Petersen of All Aboard Games who added several wooden priority deal markers to his 18xx games. They all show something typical of the country or region the game is set.
Enrique, the co-autor and initator of this project, put all his love and effort in 18España. He is already working on a playbook with historical notes, short rules, an extended example for newbies and much more. He would love to see this playbook come into reality by reaching the stretch goal of €40,000.
Get them all
A comment suggested to offer all my games, which you can order after the campaign has ended as add-ons, as a bundle for a special price. I followed this idea - take a look at the "add-on" section: A complete set of "1888-N, 1840, 18Mag, 18Mag Expansion and 18Lilliput" costs now €249.00 instead of €278.00.
You will receive an email one or two weeks after the campaign has ended in which you will be able to order one or more of my other games as well as additional copies of 18ESP.
All that's left for me to say is thank you!
Lonny
