You are here because you wish to back the Retailer Pledge Deposit reward of the TIWANAKU Kickstarter-Exclusive Deluxe Edition campaign.
Our desire to include shops and distributors in our campaign permits them to keep their usual discounts.
Shops that do not participate in the Kickstarter campaign cannot order the TIWANAKU Kickstarter-Exclusive Deluxe Edition at a later date.
Before backing, please make sure to read the following important information…
“Brick-and-Mortar” Shops Only!
The Retailer Pledge Deposit is for physical (“brick-and-mortar”) shops; online shops are not eligible.
To take advantage of this discount, you will be asked by registering on our website to prove that you are ordering to stock a physical shop. If you cannot prove it, your order will be canceled, and you will not be reimbursed.

Reduced Rate
Pledging for the Retailer Pledge Deposit gives you access to the Pledge Manager, in which you will get the reduced (−50%) rate for “brick-and-mortar” shops. So, your price per unit is €34.50 ($37,65US±).
Keep Your Money Until the Pledge Manager Goes Live
The Retailer Pledge Deposit reward amount includes a down payment of €60 ($68US±); you will pay the remaining €147 ($166US±) via the Pledge Manager once it is online.
No information on the back of the box, really?
The Deluxe Edition only shows a beautiful landscape on the back of the box, and nothing else. Ah yes, a llama too!
But this box is wrapped in a sleeve on the back of which is added a sheet with all the necessary information for you to sell it: visual of the material, explanatory text, legal text, UPC/EAN… And then, the whole pack is shrink wrapped.
1 Case Minimum
You cannot pledge for less than 1 case (6 copies).
Important: All second rulebooks will be in the same language.
Need More Cases?
You could also choose in the Pledge Manager to order more than 1 case (6 copies per case) of TIWANAKU Deluxe under the same conditions; however, you must always order in multiples of 6 (12, 18, 24…).
Important: From 2 cases on, you get a free copy (11+1, 17+1, 23+1…) which also is a Deluxe version!
Are Shop Backers Like the Others?
Yes! The Deluxe Edition copies that you will receive are exactly the same than the ones shipped to all other backers!
Customs-Friendly?
In countries where we have a distribution partner (see “Free Shipping?” below), customs taxes will have been paid by ourselves before the goods arrive at our distributor/shipping hub.
Therefore, you will not have to pay them again when the goods are delivered to you.
Sales tax/VAT
Sales tax/VAT is neither included in the pricing mentioned on this page, nor in the Kickstarter Retailer Pledge Deposit reward.
Of course, since we are a European company and we ship from within Europe, European stores having a valid VAT ID will not have to pay VAT.
Exception: since we are a Belgian company, Belgian stores will have to pay VAT.
Free Shipping?
We are currently discussing with our distributors about the possibility for them adding your orders of TIWANAKU Kickstarter-Deluxe Exclusive Edition to their day to day shipments.
In that case, shipping could be free if you reach their free shipping threshold.
In case shipping is not free (because you cannot reach the free shipping threshold or such a threshold does not exist), then you will be asked by the distributor to pay half of the shipping fee. We pay the other half!
Your order will be shipped to the address of your store.
Shipping: What if TIWANAKU Deluxe is not distributed in your country?
Then you have to pay a shipping fee for sure!
Your order will be shipped through one of the logistics hubs that we selected.
You will pay these shipping costs via the Pledge Manager. Shipping costs will be collected after the campaign according to your geographical location.
But there are three solutions to avoid having to pay shipping costs:
- Pick up at the Festival des Jeux de Vichy 2022 (Vichy, France) in September is FREE (in case we have received the games and the show is not cancelled*).
- Pick up at the SPIEL’22 expo (Essen, Germany) in October is FREE (in case we have received the games and the show is not cancelled*).
- Pick up at our office location (close to Namur, Belgium) is FREE.
* If this free pick up possibility has to be cancelled, then you will be asked to pay the regular shipping costs, according to the Shipping Policy section.
Each case will be shipped separately but to the address of your store.
We do not ship to any countries that are not listed here above in these six zones. Sorry!
If your package gets lost by the fulfillment company, or is returned to us for some unforeseen reason, we will attempt to send it again at our expense. However, if the delivery failure is due to an error on your part, then the shipping costs will be entirely at your expense.
Please note that these reshipments, as well as shipments delayed because you did not fill out the Pledge Manager in time, will be processed after the entire fulfillment process is complete
Important: Shipments to the European Union, USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and China benefit from “Shipping Friendly” service, which is to say that backers in these countries do not have to pay import taxes!
Coordonated Delivery
We will do our best in order to arrange the delivery dates so that all backers (shops included) will receive their order mostly at the same time.
Invoicing
A clear and complete PDF invoice will be sent to you right after the Pledge Manager has been closed. Do not forget that if your order is shipped by a distributor, if the shipment is not free, the distributor will also send you an invoice for only shipping (see both sections just above).
Later Availability of the Deluxe Edition via Sit Down!
The Kickstarter-Exclusive Deluxe Edition will be available via Sit Down! website and conventions we attend. Only a few hundred additional copies will be produced for that purpose. We will match the MSRP (€65), with no possible discount during at least the first year.
Retail Version
The TIWANAKU Retail Edition (MSRP: €50) will be available for all after the Deluxe edition will have been received by most of backers (shops included), creating an exclusivity window that should help stores to build demand.
Check here the differences between the Retail and the Deluxe editions.
Release date of the Retail Edition is November 1st, 2022, which will be updated to a later date in case of production/shipments delays.
Add-ons
As with all campaign backers, stores also have the option of adding add-ons to their contribution via the Pledge Manager.
Add-ons benefit from the same reduction as the game (-50%) and can be ordered from 6 copies.
List of available add-ons:
– 20 Scenario Discs: 6€/$7US±
– 1 scratch pad (50 double-sided sheets): €2.50/$3US±
– 62 Wooden tiles (replacing Terrain & Culture tiles): 10€/$11US±
+ Shipping costs added later.
