It seems like a long long time ago I backed the Splinterlands Kickstarter for Untamed, although the in game card packs were quick to access once the Kickstarter completed - these physical treats have taken longer to arrive - no surprise given it has had to travel all the way to the UK right in the middle of the Coronavirus Pandemic.
The Kickstarter smashed the pledges required to complete, with an impressive 334 backers in total.
I backed the modest $200 tier which seemed to offer a good balance of physical rewards to the 70 Untamed booster packs. And in fact those booster packs alone were more then worth it, I sold many of the high value cards I received in them earning back pretty much half my investment. Plus they filled out all my Splinters, so where I could only battle with any chance of winning with Death and Earth, with the addition of the Untamed pack any Splinter I use now will hold it's own all the way up to Gold 1 - I don't really have time to play any higher then Gold 1 per season - I did get to Diamond 3 recently - but I would need to invest even more in cards to get any higher then that.
The physical cards pack is a real treat, the cards are solid with a nice glossy feel, and come in their own hard plastic case for safe storage. I can see these gaining value quickly, although I'm not going to hide them away when my boys might have a little fun using them as a physical card game. This was a really well thought out reward, and adds that extra dimension to the virtual Blockchain based game we love playing.
The t-shirt is good quality, nice material and well made with a quality print of the @splinterlands logo on the back.
And an alternative logo on the front. Another nice addition to the physical rewards and I will enjoy wearing this to promote @splnterlands
Stickers, big glossy and colourful and ready to stick onto something....
And finally the @splinterlands guidebook written by @carrieallen and @chrisroberts , big heavy and glossy paged there is a ton of reading in this - exceptionally well illustrated as well.
Every page is glossy and colourful while packed with content.
And it is packed full of quality illustrations to go with the main content.
I have backed many projects on Kickstarter and Indiegogo - some I am still waiting for the goods even years later! So with @splinterlands it was nice to back an existing project I knew and trusted, see them achieve their goals and then quickly and efficiently receive my in game rewards - and now the physical rewards. Great work all round, everyone involved should be proud of what they achieved with the game, with running the Kickstarter and efficiently distributing rewards both virtual and physical and finally make such an amazing quality pack of physical rewards - to be me everything received is worth exponentially more then the amount I backed on Kickstarter.
Should @splinterlands run another Kickstarter to progress the game further in the future I would not hesitate to back them again, and I would suggest anyone else do so as well you absolutely get more back then you put in - plus you get that happy feeling of supporting a game you enjoy.
