The Kickstarter version of board games often include extra game items to thank and incentivize people to fund/back a Kickstarter project and help it become a completed physical game.

These board games are referred to as Kickstarter Board Games. One subcategory of Kickstarter is the crowdfunding of board games. Asking the public to fund/back projects in this way is known as crowdfunding.

Kickstarter is a funding site where people post projects for crowds to fund (aka 'to back') the creation of a new item or project.

What are Kickstarter board games vs retail board games?.

Note: MSRP is not always available, such as on the Kickstarter versions of games.

TheGameSteward also has items on-sale or discounted off manufacturer's suggested retail price ( MSRP) where MSRP is available.

TheGameSteward does not mark games at regular price until they arrive in-stock.

All pre-order games on TheGameSteward are early bird special discount prices.

In this way, each will have its own computed shipping and will be shipped as soon as it arrives.

If, however, you wish to receive some or all your items individually as they arrive in-stock, simply fill out separate orders/checkout payments for each - or let us know where you'd like to have and order broken up and pay for separate shipping.

To save you money, if you order multiple games where some or all of the items are pre-order, TheGameSteward will bundle your items until they are all available in-stock and ship them together.

How does TheGameSteward 'ship for value'?.

When you purchase a game pre-order, TheGameSteward reserves units in your name that no one else can buy. (This happens quite frequently.) At TheGameSteward, we often have customers looking to purchase a game after it is in stock only to find out there are none available for sale.

Purchasing a game on pre-order is useful if the game is popular and likely to sell out prior to arriving in-stock.

Why purchase a pre-order? Why not wait until the game is in-stock.

A regular order is a game already physically in-stock at TheGameSteward. A pre-order will be fulfilled and shipped once the game publisher has shipped the game to us, TheGameSteward.

A pre-order is when you order your game prior to the publisher releasing the game.

What is a pre-order vs a regular or in-stock order?.

No, currently TheGameSteward sells games only in English.

Does TheGameSteward sell games in languages other than English?.

Does The Game Steward offer Free Shipping?.
