🕑 Added 2023-04-11 12:30:01 +0000 UTCThe Royal Limited is the next title in our Simply Solo line, following Food Chain Island, Ugly Gryphon Inn, Unsurmountable, and Fishing Lessons. These titles were designed by Scott Almes for single-player only, focusing on elegant rules that create complex situations. Like the previous four games, The Royal Limited delivers a fun puzzle that’s sure to hit the table again and again.
Please read ‘Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter as a member’ for all of the details on supporting the campaign as a member.

Here's how to pledge at Kickstarter as a member
For this campaign we will be using Gamefound’s Pledge Manager again so you do not need to calculate how much to pledge at Kickstarter. Shipping will be collected in the Pledge Manager, and your club discount will be added as a credit using your email address to link your Kickstarter and Patreon support.
Pledge just $1 at Kickstarter to support the Board Game of the Month Club Members reward. There’s no need to add any bonus support for the games, but you can if you wish so you pay for the reward now and shipping later; the easiest way to do that is to choose the reward tier you want rather than the club backer level. Choose any add-on content you wish to include with your pledge, and you’re all set.
The amount pledged at Kickstarter will be transferred to the Pledge Manager and you will be able to finalize the content of your reward there, 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.
England, 1960s. Revolutions in music, fashion, art and more draw celebrities from around the world. Superstars wind their way across the country using the ultimate in luxury travel, a train line catering to the elite, while less fortunate passengers jostle for space to get a glimpse of their idols. There’s no time to waste, so grab your bags and get on board!
The Royal Limited is a solo game about building your train and filling it up with passengers and VIPs before the train departs. Use cards from your hand to add new cars and place passengers to occupy them. Match symbols and colors to ensure everyone aboard is satisfied, especially the VIPs! Make the most of your line and see if you can live up to the grand expectations of The Royal Limited.
The Second Line expansion is included with all pledges for The Royal Limited.
Business is booming! Running two lines on parallel tracks allows for maximum profits, as long as there are enough passengers.
Second Line is a 4-card expansion that introduces additional train cards in a new color and allows players to operate a second train below their first line.
In addition to the Second Line expansion available for free with the base game, we’re also offering the Murder on Board expansion for purchase for just $2.
A stormy night. An isolated train traveling through the English countryside. It’s the perfect spot for a heinous crime. But the killer didn’t account for a renowned detective on board…
This 3-card expansion adds Detective, Victim, and Murderer cards along with some gameplay changes.
There are so many more details on the Kickstarter page, including overviews of how the game plays and video playthrough/reviews by Purple Moose and details about the new Fishing Lessons expansions. Head over there for everything you need to know.

This says the murder expansion for royal Limited would be in the same package as the base game. Did that get delayed? I don't mind delay. Just want to make sure I'm still getting it somehow.
Heather Krupinski
Thank you for taking the time to reply. This info helps a lot!!

(Note: I don't work for Button Shy) The monthly Club packages tend to run behind schedule. Nobody has received a March game yet. If you signed up for the Patreon before March 1st, and got charged at the start of March, you will eventually get the March package when they go out. If you pledged sometime during March, and your first charge was the start of April, your first game will be the April packages when they get to them.

Will the replacement Fishing Lessons card also be included in a future BGotMC package?
Heather Krupinski
Thank you for the help. I did read through and it was somewhat helpful. I think not getting a game last month and knowing I didnt pledge on KS kind of threw me off. I’m still guessing I signed up with Patreon too late for a game last month. And being new to gaming and KS doesn’t help either!! Again, thank you!!

I also find it confusing. Under the link to the campaign is the information to see what you will get from this campaign depending on your Patreon level. You don't need to pledge to get those items. The rest of the post is for those who choose to pledge in addition to the Patreon.

Nice, what about the River Wild & Ancient Realm expansions then? I looked in the folder and I saw the preview PNP of the core games only. Maybe I missed something though, I'm very new here! :)
Heather Krupinski
I don’t understand what I have to do with Gamefound as a game of the month member. Can you please explain?
Heather Krupinski
Thanks for the reply. How does it work if I pledged $1 so I could add on an older game (in this case I added Ugly Gryphon Inn)?
Miles Wentland
Thank you!

We do not release the expansions for preview at the same time as the Kickstarter is active, but the final files will all be in the club Dropbox later.
Button Shy
The Royal Limited with both expansions will be in a future package for you, so you only need to pledge if you want an extra copy or you'd like to switch it out for an older title when it is the Featured Game.

Just in case there's still confusion - The Royal Limited with both expansions will be in a future package for you, so you only need to pledge if you want an extra copy or you'd like to switch it out for an older title when it is the Featured Game.

Acclimatization and rescue Mission were released at the same time as Fishing Lessons and, as detailed in the Fishing Lessons launch post, are not coming to the club. You can get just the expansions at our website now, but if you also need the Unsurmountable expansion collection empty wallet Kickstarter is the only way to get it.
Javier Altman
Hey! Just wondering if the expansions for this game will be available in PNP in the dropbox as well? I can't seem to find them (same with Ancient and River expansions from the last KS)
Eric Harvey
I need to clarify because I've screwed this up in the past a few times now. I'm sure it's just me... I have a "Wallet Games Monthly" subscription. I don't need to do anything on kickstarter because I will eventually receive this as a monthly offering?
Heather Krupinski
I think I answered my own question by looking at the Kickstarter campaign. Still trying to navigate this new world!!
Heather Krupinski
As a newbie, I’m somewhat confused…if I a member of your Patreon (the $18 month wallet tier) do I also need to pledge on Kickstarter to receive the monthly game or just if I want add-one? I started as a Patreon member last month but didn’t get the game for the month (might have joined too late in the month) and just want to make sure I do things correctly moving forward. Thanks!!
Miles Wentland
Will the other other empty expansion wallets, Unsurmountable Acclimatization, and Unsurmountable Rescue Mission make their way to BGOTM as well or is the kickstarter the only way to get them?
