Aqua ROVE and ROVE Jr are live on Kickstarter! Here are your discount details.
🕑 Added 2024-04-09 12:30:01 +0000 UTCROVE: Results-Oriented Versatile Explorer has risen up the ranks on both BGG and our internal top games list. It's a solo spatial puzzle game and has constantly sold well, or sold out! As a result we wanted to make something all new so the team put together two really awesome new games, Aqua ROVE and ROVE Jr.
The first important thing is the campaign link:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/239309591/aqua-rove
What will be included in future packages?
Supporters of levels including a wallet game ($18/$28):
Aqua ROVE and ROVE Jr will be offered as the Featured Wallet Games in two separate upcoming BGotMC packages. The ROVE: Tourist Traps expansion and ROVE: Dive Mode Promo will also be included in a future club package. You do not need to pledge at Kickstarter to receive these in your club package, but you may choose to use your club discount to purchase extra copies or so you have the option to switch out the Featured Games later.
Button Shy Supporter ($5) and Digital Only levels:
The links to the PNP files for Aqua ROVE, ROVE Jr, ROVE: Tourist Traps expansion and ROVE: Dive Mode promo will be shared here at Patreon.
None of the previously released content for ROVE will be in any future club packages. The previously released ROVE Fascinating Flora and Reconfigured expansions, plus the new Tourist Traps expansion are being collected to form ROVE Expansion Collection 2. If you already own the first two expansions, the EMPTY ROVE Expansion Collection 2 wallet is available as a campaign add-on at Kickstarter or from our website:

As a member you will receive a discount, and all of the details are below. Any questions, just ask either in the comments here or on our Discord server.
Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter as a US/UK member
For this campaign, we will NOT be using a pledge manager for US or UK backers. You will need to calculate the amount to pledge based on the reward you wish to receive.
Choose the $1 Board Game of the Month Club Members reward level and adjust your pledge amount by adding bonus support. Find the reward level that you would like in the table below, then add the cost of shipping and subtract the discount for your patron level to find out how much to pledge.
Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter as an INTERNATIONAL member (not US/UK)
For this campaign we will be using Gamefound’s Pledge Manager again. Simply pledge for One Game (for International Backers) $12 reward, do NOT use the Board Game of the Month Club Members reward. Choose any add-on content you wish to include with your pledge, and you’re all set. You will be able to upgrade to a higher reward level in the pledge manager if you wish to.
Shipping will be collected in the Pledge Manager, and your club discount will be added using your email address to link your Kickstarter and Patreon support. The items pledged for at Kickstarter will be transferred to your cart in the Pledge Manager and you will be able to finalize the content of your reward there, adding any games from the Button Shy catalog and making an additional payment for content and shipping if required.
When the Pledge Manager opens, if you do not see the credit, we will be able to update it manually; this will most likely happen if your Kickstarter name and email address is different to your Patreon name and email address. Please email buttonshyhelp@gmail.com when the pledge manager opens if you need us to apply the credit to a different Gamefound account.
Any questions, just ask either in the comments here or on our Discord server.
Aqua ROVE
Aqua-ROVE is a new standalone ROVE game that twists a few things around both mechanically and visually. Mechanically, we've moved the movement styles off of the modules and onto the movement cards, and it creates a very different way to play. Visually, we've changed the panorama from left -> right to top -> bottom. Aqua ROVE is diving deeper and deeper, and it's super cool.
The first question is always is this easier or harder? And the answer is that it's just fresh and different. There are some videos linked on the Kickstarter page, and you can see the difference in action.
To try Aqua ROVE and enjoy the glorious artwork on your tabletop right now, you can download the preview PNP here:

ROVE Jr
ROVE Jr is an entry level ROVE game for children or casual players. It takes everything ROVE and just boils it down to the simplest versions of itself. Movement is just move left, right, up, or down as far as you want. The grid is smaller. There are fewer modules. The modules don't have special abilities until you are ready to use them. And most of all, it's absolutely ADORABLE.

There's also a new 6-card ROVE expansion, ROVE: Tourist Traps, and a little promo card, ROVE: Dive Mode. Head to the Kickstarter page to see what it does.

I can’t make it work. When I chose bonus support with the amount I calculate it just adds that amount to the total of the items I choose without my $5 discount. So I conclude that I either will participate in the campaign without utilizing my discount or pass on this campaign. But I really wanted to at least get ROVE the base game.
Luis
Actually you personally do the math of the total of what pledge you want minus your discount and then you input that number under “Bonus Support”
MagPie
I don’t see how I can manually subtract my discount. Or when you choose the BGotMC $1 it has already subtracted your $5?
Natasha Eley
Thanks
Luis
Thank you!
Button Shy
Also, thanks for helping out here - it's been a hectic week and I forgot to drop by until now.
Button Shy
As long as you are in the US or UK, Natasha's reply above is correct.
Button Shy
All Kickstarter backers receive a link to the print and play files. They will also be shared when the content is featured in a club package here at Patreon.

The only way to get the Expansion Collection 2 wallet is to get it from the store or the campaign. There's a link to the store product in the post.
Charles Isaac
Is the PnP files included on the physical copies
Dan Heath
Brilliant. Thanks for your help both
Natasha Eley
I am uk (so not sure if different for us) just need to add BGC then the additional amount minus your discount. The shipping is added automatically before you confirm your pledge.
Natasha Eley
Will we get a wallet for the two expansions that will be coming in the future monthly packages or is the only way to get it from your online store or the campaign? Thanks
Natasha Eley
If you are going for the everything then yes you are correct. Back the BGOTMC for $1 add the everything ($49) - your discount ($5 for level if pay $18 a month) so $44 shipping is added so when you go to pledge should be $50 in total inc shipping.
Luis
Oh wait a minute, I think I misread the post. We are supposed to manually add the total cost with the discount, correct? Sorry for the trouble
Luis
Ok, I think I am doing something wrong. I clicked the BGC pledge level, and picked all the items I wanted, but none of them were marked down like pictured on this post and there was no five dollar discount. Does it get adjusted later? Thanks for your help!
Dan Heath
Ok on closer inspection I think it's simpler just to go in for everything and either swap future months or get extra gifting copies of the new stuff. So as a UK backer at 18$ level I need to pledge for the 1$ level, add on an extra 44 and then 5 shipping will go on top. Do I have that right? Sorry never taken advantage of the Kickstarter discount before so want to have it clear.
Jessica Ridge
Yes, the entire previous Rove collection is available. Core game then the two expansion collections plus the new games
Jessica Ridge
I am so excited about this! I’ve been wanting the entire Rove collection but the core game is never available.
Dan Heath
I haven't been able to have a look at the actual campaign page yet but will it be possible to order the original and any expansions via the Kickstarter while letting everything else come as bgotm? Basically can I just order everything that I won't already get as part of the patron?
