THE PUBLISHER - Who is EVERLAND STUDIO? Do you have any experience?
We’re an indie publisher, driven by passion and joy for bringing fresh ideas to the board game world starting with ROBO RESCUE: ORIGINS, a highly strategic Robot creation game. While EVERLAND STUDIO is just getting started, we’re the sister brand of LEMERY GAMES—a team with a solid track record, having successfully launched 6 Kickstarter campaigns. So we’re building on a strong foundation of experience, creativity, and close connection with our community.

FREE! - Is the game really free?
Yes! The first deck of ‘Robo Rescue: Origins’ is 100% FREE for everyone who backs the campaign, during the Kickstarter campaign (Excluding shipping). This first deck is for a SOLO game (1 player). You can also get additional copies for multiplayer by adding just $1 per extra copy (up to 4 copies). If you need additional copies for 5 or more players, you can add them as an add-on for just $5 each. One deck’s retail price will be around $13 USD.

FREE! - Why are you offering it for free?
Robo Rescue: Origins is the entry point to a larger universe, with a complete board game coming this fall. We’re so confident you’ll love it, we wanted to remove all barriers and let you try it without any risk.

EARLY BIRD - What is the Early Bird promo?
If you back the campaign within the first 72 hours, by pledging for one or more decks, you will get a complimentary LOGBOOK, so you can keep track of your SOLO and MULTIPLAYER scores. If you missed the early bird you can still purchase it as an add-on, for as low as $3 USD.
Last updated: May 18, 2025 11:25
EARLY BIRD - What else should I do if I am an Early Bird backer to get my free LOGBOOK?
Nothing! After the campaign ends, in the Pledge Manager, we’ll add the complimentary LOGBOOK to everyone’s cart who backed within the first 72 hours. There is no action needed from your end. It will be shipped together with your core pledge.

ABOUT THE GAME - What is ROBO RESCUE: ORIGINS about?
Origins is the first stand-alone game in a fantastic saga of robot adventures and the prequel of “ROBO RESCUE”. In the game, you’ll strategically build robots by assembling the right parts to score the most points. To learn more, please check the ‘How-to-Play’ video on the main campaign page!

ABOUT THE GAME - What’s the connection between Origins and Robo Rescue?
ROBO RESCUE: ORIGINS is a fully playable stand-alone game, but it also introduces you to the story and world of Robo Rescue, our full-scale board game launching this fall. Think of it as the perfect sneak peek before the core mission begins.
Last updated: May 18, 2025 11:27
ABOUT THE GAME - How many players is the game for?
The base game is for 1 or more players (no limits). However the standard “free” game pledge is just for 1 player. If you’d like to play in competitive mode, you can grab extra copies (each for just $1, up to 4 decks).
Last updated: May 18, 2025 11:34
ABOUT THE GAME - How long does a game last?
Each game takes about 10–15 minutes per player (players can play at the same time to make the game faster) — perfect for a quick game night or a warm-up before a heavy game.

REWARDS - Can I change my pledge later?
Yes! You can modify or cancel your pledge at any time during the campaign. After the campaign, in the pledge manager you’ll be able to adjust and upgrade your order and add your shipping info.
Last updated: May 18, 2025 11:28
REWARDS - Which Reward should I pledge for?
We have 4 reward tiers. The first tier gives you a free deck designed exclusively for solo mode. Each of the other 3 tiers include additional decks for multiplayer mode (each player needs their own deck), and each one is available for just $1.
Last updated: May 18, 2025 11:30
REWARDS - Why am I being charged $1 if it’s free?
Unfortunately, we can’t include a $0 reward tier on Kickstarter. So, if you’re choosing the free solo version, we’ll credit that $1 toward your shipping cost in the pledge manager, after the campaign.

STRETCH GOALS - Do you have any Stretch Goals?
We’re focused on delivering the game exactly as it is — complete and polished. However, instead of a traditional stretch goal, we’ve created a poll to see if you’d be interested in an optional upgrade for each deck at just $0.50 per deck (only applies from the second deck, first one’s upgrade would be free). If 60% or more of the backers vote ‘Yes’, we will upgrade all games with a laminated, UV-coated & embossed game box and linen finish cards.

ADD-ONS - What are the campaign add-ons?
If you want to get extra decks (for more than 4 players), you’ll be able to add them for just $5 each. You can also include a LOGBOOK to track your scores for only $3 (or FREE if you’re an Early Backer!). You can add these during the campaign or after it has ended, in the Pledge Manager.

SHIPPING & TAXES - What’s the estimated delivery date?
We’re planning to ship your games in December 2025, but trust us we will do everything to deliver earlier. You’ll receive regular updates from us as we move through production and fulfillment.
Last updated: May 18, 2025 11:33
SHIPPING & TAXES - Are taxes and duties included in the shipping fees?
We’re covering taxes and duties in advance! Shipping costs and applicable taxes will be collected in the pledge manager, ensuring your game clears through customs smoothly and without delays.
Last updated: May 18, 2025 11:33
SHIPPING & TAXES - Shipping savings (ship with board game or LUDOS America)
Regular backers have the option to ship Origins as soon as it’s ready, or wait for the board game to come out and combine shipping to save on shipping.
Here is the shipping table with savings: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nr7ztntgeaREtAmRMxVzIRkxMKjH1P4B8ybyEgzfGPY/edit?gid=1184587337#gid=1184587337
If a backers selects to wait for the board game they won’t be charged now. They can skip providing their address and credit card details. We will collect those later. If they selected to receive Origins as soon as it’s ready, we need their address and payment info so we can ship your order once ready.
Backers of our sister brand’s project (LUDOS America from Lemery Games) have the option to either select to receive Origins together with their LUDOS America pledge, their order will be merged with their LUDOS America order. They can skip providing their address and credit card details. We will collect their outstanding balance in the LUDOS America pledge manager. Similarly, if they select to wait for the board game to come out, they don’t need to provide their card and shipping details.
Shipping savings for LUDOS America backers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15PLGxAmkvTKzEAV1342PHnyTPwJhGK-M3tHPWUkrOFw/edit?gid=2050573382#gid=2050573382

SHIPPING & TAXES - Shipping with Robo Rescue board game
🛳️ Combined Shipping for the Board Game: As you know, we’re offering you the chance to receive your Origins games together with the upcoming Robo Rescue board game (launching this Fall) to save significantly on shipping. You have no obligations! If you change your mind later about backing the board game, we’ll simply ship your Origins order at the default Origins shipping rates. There will be one specific question about this option in the survey. Please read it very carefully and make your selection based on your preference.
🛳️ Add-On Shipping Consistency: If you add any extra decks (or other add-ons) to your cart, you’ll again need to select when you want to receive those add-ons. This selection must match the answer you made for your pledge in the main survey question. For example, if you chose to wait for the board game in the main survey, any add-on decks must also be set to ship with the board game. This will be explained again in the survey itself.

PLEDGE MANAGER - Waiting for the board game Vs Getting Origins once it's ready
⏳If Waiting for the Board Game: If you select to wait for the board game, you won’t be charged now. Please feel free to skip providing your address and credit card details on the coming pages. We will collect those later. You can also temporarily neglect your pledge manager shipping balance for Origins, as that will be calculated and added to your potential future board game pledge.
⌛️If Shipping Once Origins is Ready: If you select to receive Origins as soon as it’s ready, your orders will be locked and charged (for any outstanding balance seen in the pledge manager) soon after the completion of the survey.

PREMIUM DECK UPGRADE - Backer vote for a $0.50 premium upgrade
We had a poll during the campaign where backers could vote for a premium upgrade for their games for an extra $0.50/deck (beyond their first deck which still remains free). The premium deck upgrade (linen finish cards, UV coated, and embossed game boxes) that 98% of backers voted for will already be automatically added to everyone’s pledge. This is a tiny $0.50 cost per deck, beyond the first deck (your first deck will still be completely free!). This information will also be clearly visible in your survey. This was a collective decision we advertised during the campaign in updates and the Kickstarter page.

ROBO RESCUE BOARD GAME - What's the estimated delivery of the Robo Rescue board game?
We are currently aiming for fall 2025 launch and a summer 2026 fulfilment for the Robo Rescue board game.
Last updated: June 22, 2025 10:15
ROBO RESCUE BOARD GAME - What's the price of the board game?
We are currently running an anonymous survey among backers to ask what they would consider a fair price for the Robo Rescue board game. This will also influence its final price. We are only planning a premium edition of the board game and currently estimate its Kickstarter price to be between $50-$60.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
