Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter
Choose the $1 reward level and adjust your pledge accordingly using the prices below. If you would like something different just post a comment here and we'll get you the price. Note: All prices below include shipping.
Check out the spreadsheet below. Find the item that you would like, then locate your region. That's the price for everyone else. Your price is $1-$5 cheaper.
$1-3 Patrons - Subtract $1 from the prices below.
$5 Patrons - Subtract $2 from the prices below.
$10 Patrons - Subtract $5 from the prices below.
$20+ Patrons - You will be offered Universal Rule: Singularity and Solo AI as a featured game, but if you want any of the other items, choose a reward level and subtract $5 from the price.
As always, the playmat / 4 games is very expensive to ship Internationally. International shipping also just went up a few weeks ago, so it's harder to absorb $2-6 more dollars on a $10 purchase. We still suggest bundles of up to 3 games, PNPs, and free website shipping on older games for the best way for our International friends to save money.
So what's the game all about?
Deep in the Pocket Universe, the balance of power is shifting. Seventeen newly discovered planets are being colonized and tapped for crucial resources. Shifting alliances and stacks of galactic credits influence battles for control. Can you claim Universal Rule?
In Universal Rule, players battle for control of the universe in this pocket sized 4X style game. You can colonize new planets, improve upon those planets, gain credits based off of the resources that the planet produces, or attempt to destroy other planets that threaten your existence. Other players can follow, but at a cost. The first player to show their true dominance through victory points will win the game.
What's new?
First up is the standalone edition of Universal Rule, Singularity. This is a new 18 card set that brings forward a few new themes. It is a standalone expansion, following our two previous standalone expansions, Universal Rule, and Universal Rule: Second Wave. Each can be played alone or mixed together.
We are also introducing Universal Rule: Solo AI, a 5 card AI opponent with varying difficulties that can be played with any Universal Rule game or any combination of the games. The AI opponent uses one of 5 actions per turn, after assessing the game state. You will need to win the game by having more victory points than the AI when the last card is drawn from the deck, or when one of you colonize your fifth planet (whichever comes first). Along with the Solo expansion comes a single additional planet card, Cinda.
Here's the link again. Thanks everyone!

Good enough for me :D
Matthew Mitchell
If there is stock, then yes. If we are out of stock, then no. =)
Pearl Mahar
So, I backed the kickstarter for three games plus the playmat, but I really want SpaceShipped too and the Kickstarter just closed...if I increased my Patreon level to $20, would SpaceShipped be one of my choices?
Button Shy
We check names, addresses emails and if still questioned, we reach out individually.
Joseph Lee
Sure, I get that. But I assume you validate the Patreon level for anyone pledging on the Kickstarter to confirm the appropriate discount, so I was asking about how you do that.
Button Shy
Nope you should be good thanks
Matthew Mitchell
The only matching we need to do for Kickstarter campaigns is matching KS rewards with Website Orders. Patreon rewards are only ever sent out out by themselves.
Joseph Lee
OK, the mailing addresses should match. But I'm confused by your reference to a website order. Do we need to order something on the Button Shy website in addition to pledging?
Matthew Mitchell
$45 total.
Matthew Mitchell
I start with email addresses. If those don't match, then I check mailing addresses. If those don't match, I'll send out an email to your Website Order email asking for your Kickstarter information.
Joseph Lee
I use different email addresses for Patreon and Kickstarter. What's the best way to make sure you match the two when I pledge for Universal Wave?
JazzFlight
Quick pricing question: I have Second Wave from being a BGotM member and collecting the mini packs (and then wallet), so I'm planning on getting the 2 versions I don't have and the playmat. How much should that be (US shipping, $10 a month tier)? Thanks.
Button Shy
I forgot to say, subtract $5 for your discount for whatever you choose. Sorry!
Button Shy
$30 CA / Mexico, $32 Everywhere else except $36 Australia
Button Shy
Thanks! You will get one of them for free here so you just need Universal Rule and Universal Rule Second Wave. So it’s $30, $32 or $36 depending on your location.
Jill Wong
First time as a Patreon backer. I’m a $30 Patreon. I want all three universal rules. Do I pledge $31?
Theresa D.
Thank you!
Matthew Mitchell
2 games as a $20 Patreon shipping to the US would be a $19 total pledge.
Theresa D.
So to be clear, if I get 2 games (as a $20 Patreon) the pledge amount is $19 with the shipping added?
Jason Sanchez
Cool. Thanks for the quick reply.
Button Shy
It’ll end up in the dropbox
Jason Sanchez
I have all the UR PnPs. Will Singularity end up in the dropbox or do I need to pledge?
Button Shy
Just add $20 to the playmat cost. And make sure you subtract your discount.
Button Shy
This is correct.
James M.
I think for other combinations of games and playmats, it's the playmat shipped cost plus $10 per game minus your discount. I'm sure Jason can confirm this or correct me if I'm wrong.
Ian Chung
What if I just wanted two games + the playmat?
Button Shy
You got it!
Ethan Bartolic
This is my first time as a patron. If I want to get all three and the solo as a $10 patron do I back at $29 for US?
