Greetings Visionaries! I am thrilled to share that Splatterkins is well on it’s way to officially release in December! Starter Set 01: Pure Heart & Stagecraft as well as Theme Deck 01: Ardent Dreams will be available to order very soon.
If you are a Game Store interested in carrying Splatterkins at launch, Email [email protected] and let us know. We will work with you to get product in your hands ASAP. A free store welcome kit that contains demo decks and promotional items will be sent to all participating stores.
There’s still a lot that we want to get done before launch. Our goal is to have a full booster set and Splatterkins Play Network to support organized play on the same day as we launch the starter set and theme deck.
Here’s a quick Q&A about this launch line up.
Q: Will you be opening pre-orders for these products?
A: No. I know that the Splatterkins fans have been surviving off pre-orders for a long time. I would much rather open orders when product is in hand to help build confidence and trust in our brand before rolling into more pre-orders.
Q: Will the card quality, cutting, print, etc. be different from the previous releases?
A: Yes. We are changing printers to be done in house with Speedrobo Games. Prints will be identical to System Gate.
Q: Are these the same cards that were previously released/ are my old cards playable?
A: The previous releases for Splatterkins were all limited run preliminary products before this, the official release. There are many changes between those previous cards and these new cards. You can, however, play your old cards with the new so long as you provide a full list of all erratas and changes for your opponent. Please know and understand the differences before playing the previous prints.
Q: When will the Organized Play Services go live and what will that entail?
A: December is our target. Stores and event organizers will be able to make events, build decks, and help players earn cool prizes just for playing! Promotional materials and promo cards will be sent to all participating game store for free. We are planning to hold regular tournament seasons for Splatterkins.
Q: What are the details on each product?
A: Starter sets will have 2 decks, a rule book, and tokens. Theme decks will have their deck and tokens as well as a rules card. The booster boxes will contain 24 packs, each pack will have 7 cards each, and just like with all Speedrobo Games booster boxes; a single box will get you a full play set of every card in the set plus a bunch of collectable foil cards! We are also planning on having a launch campaign where each purchase will have a paper playmat sent with the order. Starter Sets will have an MSRP of $35, Theme Decks will be $20, Booster Boxes will be $90 ($4.50 a pack).
