News about the Storage (purple) box...

Dear backers,
in less than 48 hours, there's more than 4800 of you already... what a start! In the last few hours the pace has been significantly slowing down (as is expected, the first day of a campaign always has a much greater pace than the days following), but still, we're speechless. We're starting to sound like a broken record, probably, but... THANK YOU. Thanks to each and every single one of you.
As we announced yesterday in our previous update, we are reworking our plans for this campaign in response to your overwhelming enthusiasm; this is a process that will take some time, so thanks in advance for your patience. We do have some news already for you, though!
Many backers have been asking if it was possible to only get the purple Storage Box as a separate add-on, without getting the Giant Box along with it. We've been listening, and we are pleased to announce that a "Standalone Storage Box" add-on is now available! If you don't plan to get the Giant Box add-on, but you would still like to get some of the other add-ons and have the purple box to store them, now you can get the Storage Box only for 5€.
But that's not all! Some of you have also been asking if it was possible to upgrade the purple box to a magnetically sealed version, like the "full" red/blue/yellow/green boxes... and if you payed attention to the image above, you will know that this is indeed our next free stretch goal! The Storage Box is now upgraded with a magnetically sealed lid (both if you purchase it as a separate add-on, or if it was already included with your chosen pledge level)!
This is just a mock-up, of course, but it will be identical to the green/yellow/red/blue boxes!
In other news, The Trail Expansion has been unlocked! This is an upgrade for the Lush Green Edition retail box, which will now contain 2 additional Expansion dice and 3 additional Goal cards! It will be included with all pledge levels with the exception of the Basic Pledge (in this case, you will only receive it if will you choose to receive the Lush Green Edition).
And that's not all! The Lava Goal cards have also been unlocked! They will allow to play a full Railroad Ink Challenge game with Goals specific to the Lava expansion (from the Blazing Red Edition of the classic Railroad Ink), and they will be included in all pledge levels at the Basic level or higher.
We'll have more announcements later today, so stay tuned!
Until next time!
Sincerely,
the Horrible team
New Stretch Goals! New Challenge! More!

Dear backers,
what an amazing start! We already have more than 3700 backers, this is unbelievable! Your enthusiastic response has completely blown us away, this is already our 2nd most successful Kickstarter campaign in terms of number of backers, and we still have three weeks in front of us! We've also been reading all your comments and we fixed a few errors in the rulebook thanks to your precious feedback. We're also listening to all your requests, and we will do our best to bring them to reality whenever possible. Thank you all for your invaluable support, especially in these difficult times 😊
We have several news for you today. First of all, we already unlocked our first stretch goal: a set of 3 Lake Goal cards! They will allow to play a full Railroad Ink Challenge game with Goals specific to the Lake expansion (from the Deep Blue Edition of the classic Railroad Ink)! It will be included in all pledge levels at the Basic level or higher.
A lot of progress has also been made on two more stretch goals. All of the Fan Boost prizes have already been unlocked thanks to the many score submissions we have received in just a few hours, including an outstanding score of 81 sent by Niklas T. (congratulations, great score)!
Thanks to the 500 extra Social Points you unlocked with the Fan Boost Prizes, we just need about 180 reshares on Facebook and 200 retweets on Twitter to unlock the Trail Expansion and the Canyon Expansion (2 dice + 3 Goal cards each)!
Once unlocked, these stretch goals will be upgrades for their respective retail box: If your pledge includes the Lush Green Edition, you will receive the Trail Expansion inside your box; If your pledge includes the Shining Yellow Edition, you will receive the Canyon Expansion inside your box. This means that they will be included in all pledge levels, with the exception of the Basic Pledge (in this case, you will only receive one of these two stretch goals, the one that is applicabile to the box that you will choose).
It's also time to reveal more stretch goals (and more will come in the next few days)!
The Lava Goal cards will allow to play a full Railroad Ink Challenge game with Goals specific to the Lava expansion (from the Blazing Red Edition of the classic Railroad Ink), and they will be unlocked if we reach 300 likes on the BGG page of Railroad Ink Challenge: Shining Yellow Edition! It will be included in all pledge levels at the Basic level or higher.
We're also introducing a brand new expansion! The Tetromino Expansion is a single-die expansion: you can "reserve" empty spaces on your board in advance with the same shape shown on the die. If you will actually build something inside them, you will gain bonus points at the end of the game, but if a reserved space is empty, you will losepoints at the end of the game instead!
The Tetromino Expansion will be included in all pledge levels at the Basic level or higher, and it will be unlocked if we reach 800 reshares on this Facebook post. It is also linked to a new Challenge! Download the board and play the final round of the game using the 4 Routes shown in the image below.
Try to use the available Special Structures and Special Routes to obtain the highest score possible! And don't forget to submit your score with a picture of your board!
Depending on the amount of submissions we will receive, and the scores achieved by the community, we will unlock another batch of Fan Boost Prizes that will add to your Social Points and help you unlock the Tetrimino Expansion more quickly!
We would like to thank you once again for your incredible support, and we can't wait to show you the other things we are planning for this campaign... but no spoilers! 😜
Until next time!
The Horrible team

Dear backers,
welcome to the Railroad Ink Challenge Kickstarter Campaign! We were preparing this first update, but we reached our funding goal in less than 40 minutes, this is incredible! Thank you very much for your support!
If you followed our previous Kickstarter projects, you probably know that we like to involve our community with crazy minigames, and this campaign is no different!
To unlock stretch goals for Railroad Ink Challenge, you will have to achieve specific “Social Missions” on our social media (resharing a Facebook post, retweeting a post on Twitter, and so on) to obtain a certain amount of “Social Points”. But this is a campaign for a tabletop game, so… let’s play!
Download the rules of Railroad Ink Challenge and the print and play board.
Then, ready your markers, and start playing! For this first Challenge, you will have to play a regular Railroad Ink Challenge “Solo Mode” game (as described in the rulebook), with the following fixed dice rolls and Timed Goals:
Goal B: achieve it before the end of the 3rd round to obtain 3 points.
Goal A: achieve it before the end of the 4th round to obtain 4 points.
Goal M: achieve it before the end of the 5th round to obtain 5 points.
If you achieve a goal after it is expired, it will be worth 1 point only. If you don’t achieve it at all, of course, it will be worth 0 points. When you are done with your game, take a picture of your board and submit it by filling the following form:
Depending on the amount of submissions we will receive, and the scores achieved by the community, we will unlock “Fan Boost Prizes” that will add to your Social Points and help you unlock stretch goals more quickly!
We can't wait to see the scores you will be able to achieve!
