January 2025 Preview
🕑 Added 2024-12-31 17:53:05 +0000 UTCEDIT - Jason here with a quick clarification. At the top of this post we originally wrote the blurb below. It was in the draft that the team reviewed earlier today, but for whatever reason it didn't make it out to everyone. So here it is.
First, here's an update about the outstanding November and December packages. We sent some November packages, but with the holidays and some of our team taking time off we haven't managed to send them all. To get back on track, we are going to send both of these packages together next week to anyone in the US who is still waiting for them. International members will be sent the combined November and December package next week too. UK members should have received shipping notifications for November packages today and December's packages will be sent in mid-January when the games reach our UK hub.
Also while I'm here, thank you all for a great year. We have lots of fun planned for 2025, starting tomorrow when we send out your new monthly coupon codes. Expect another update tomorrow, sorry! It's been busy here with two weeks of mid-week holidays and everyone taking some time off to be with their families. Onto the full update!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
January is here, which means some new games! There is a good range of player counts and variety in this month's games/expansions. We really feel like there's something for everyone in the January package. Let's check it out!
Circle The Wagons: Second Shot (Featured Wallet Game)
2 Players
Think you've seen it all out here on the prairie? Think again, partner! There's always a new adventure just over that next hill. Best keep your wits about you—anything can happen out here!
Circle the Wagons: Second Shot is a brand new set of 18 cards that can either be played standalone or combined with the base Circle the Wagons game. In this 2-player drafting game, players take turns picking cards from the circle and adding them to their scoring tableau. The twist? Any card in the circle you skip over goes directly to your opponent. Arrange your cards to create scoring blocks and fulfill the three shared scoring goals if you wanna be the best in the West!
Second Shot also introduces Newfangled Mode. In this variant, all 36 cards are shuffled together and then split back into two unique 18-card sets. Players play through the first set, scoring only the shared goals, then continue their game using the second set and the regular block-scoring rules. It’s winner-take-all in this ultimate showdown!
Circle The Wagons: Lone Cowboy (Expansion for Circle The Wagons: Second Shot)
1 Player
Put your skills to the test against a wily opponent in the solo expansion for Circle the Wagons.
Lone Cowboy is a series of solo expansions for Circle the Wagons and Second Shot. Each set introduces new scenario cards. These tell the player which scoring conditions to use in the game as well as adding specific rules to determine the behavior of the non-human opponent. The solo game is played over two rounds but otherwise follows standard gameplay.
Super Slopes: Park Rats and Wallet (Expansion for Super Slopes)
1 - 3 Players
You call the terrain park home. Stomp that landing for big points!
Super Slopes: Park Rat adds a terrain park that you get points for if you follow the right direction as you score.
Naturopolis: Elevation (Expansion for Naturopolis)
1 - 4 Players
As the salmon migrate upstream, hungry bears gather and take advantage of their abundance to feed themselves.
Naturopolis: Elevation is a 6-card expansion that adds new blocks that feature bears and salmon. Using the new placement rule, in which higher-altitude blocks must be supported by lower-altitude ones, line up the cascading rivers to ensure that no bear goes hungry.
Mysticana: Curse of Dragons (Expansion game for Mysticana)
1 Player
The ancient dragons who once terrorized your realm have returned in search of new treasure. Rally your forces and wield elemental magic to guard against their invasion.
Defeat the three ancient dragons to protect your lands! Each turn you must call upon your elemental skills to improve your position without falling victim to the dragons’ curse. Lay out sets of cards exactly matching each dragon’s banish requirements before they steal away all your wealth.
That's it for now, we hope you're hyped for this one! We will reach back out when it's time to choose your featured game. Until then, enjoy the new year!

I am trying to put together an order that includes the 2 new A Nice Cuppa expansions and the wallet. Since I switched my January game to Mysticana (already backed the CtW KS), I wanted to get the older expansions and wallet, bit I have a couple of questions: 1) I am pretty sure Arcane Artifacts and Cave of Djinns were part of the original KS. Was Wild Magic also released and distributed last year? 2) Was Harbingers part of any crowdfunding campaigns last year (I can't remember if I backed it)? If so, which one? 3) Will any of the above Mysticana expansions be part of club packages this year? 4) I think I saw in you post somewhere in a comments section that there are 7 Mysticana expansions coming this year with a list of the names, but I can't find it. Could you confirm and repost the names here? 5) Will there be numbered expansion collection wallets like for your other games, or should I get a couple in my order for the future (or will wallets come to club members)? Sorry, I am new to the BGOTMC :-)

How to get the wallet for the Mysticana expansion set?
Julie
when does the download link come out for January?
Button Shy
It should be included with the Nov/Dec shipment. Keep an eye out for a shipping notification which should confirm the contents.
Jake from MI
Hi, October was my 3 month date and I didnt receive the shirt. I filled out the form when I first signed up and assumed it would be added when 3 months was met. Will it come with the Nov/Dec shipment?
andrew rogers
Are you shipping them together or separately?
Button Shy
Unfortunately there is no way for us to manually request payment attempts for accounts through Patreon so we cannot add you to the January lists. We are looking into offering the exclusive 2025 extra package to anyone who joined and just missed the cut off date, but have not quite worked out the best solution yet.
Button Shy
I think you must have missed it because we started the expansions after the base game. If it pops up on our site, grab it with your discount.
Brian K
Are we ever getting super slopes base game? Been a club member for over a year and have probably all the expansions, but no base game
Brandon Oglesby
I just joined...is there anyway to still get in on January?

Same here with the same KS items. Like I know there is the discord trade channel but that doesn't mean someone has other wallets/expansion I'm actually wanting. Transitioning to the club seems to have these side effects with a gamble 🎰 on trades. 😳
Seth McNitt
January looks great!

Sorry, if you refresh this post there's a blurb at the top about November and December. It was sent out to everyone, then was reverted to an earlier draft. Not sure what happened but looking into it. Anyway, we're shipping November and December next week after being short staffed for 2 weeks due to the holidays.

Yeah, i just messaged them about this since I just joined and I pledged for CtW, Lone Cowboy, and Elevations, plus Glass Garden and A Nice Cuppa. They said no way to change the expansions. And the games can be changed for limited options. Are there a reasonable number of options (I have about 50 wallets of games and expansion collections already)?
Ian D. Walker
Yeah I never got my November package. These games not being shipped to paying Patrons on time isn’t cool. Yes I know you have print on demand but I like having the physical games in hand and have waited patiently. October’s came a month late and now it’s going on 2 months for November. Any time line on when we will receive November?
Cynthia Williams
I still haven't received my November package. When are those expected to ship?
Anthony Analetto
Yeah, I've been having this issue since I joined in September. Thought this would be an easier and cheaper way to keep up but I have so many extras now because of everything I had on KS
Michael Leonetti
Yes! More Super Slopes!!!
Linda Wickelhaus
I playtested Second Shot. Such a worthy expansion.
Daniel Matro
Oh man, I'm so excited for these!
sharn_☕Or☠
If you're in the club can you swap more than 1 Item(s) ? Or do I need to something in the KS (because I'm getting most of these there)? I'm a recent club member after backing a couple of KS from BS. 🥺
Damon Priest
Can't wait! Keep all the great games rolling in!
