Pledge Program Description


The Decision Games Pledge Program is an online preorder system for gamers to "pledge” their support to purchase future games. Pledge orders will receive a discount from the final retail price. Shipping and handling charges are not included in the game price and are added at the time of processing the pledge order. We provide estimated pricing, however the final price is subject to change based on the latest components, printing, and shipping costs. Please note we never collect funds for pledge games until the game has completed printing and is in transit to our warehouse.

To pledge for games, review the games listed below, and go to the game’s shop page to place your pledge order. Pledges are a commitment to purchase a game when published. No payment information is required in order to make pledges. Credit card information or a check will be required once a game completes production and is in transit to our warehouse; cards will not be charged or checks cashed until games are ready to ship.

30 Years War Quad Deluxe Edition The Last Raiders Fall of Rome (S&T #181)
30 Years War Quad Deluxe Edition The Last Raiders Fall of Rome (S&T #181)
Thirty Years War Quad Deluxe Edition reprints the original SPI Quadri-game, which includes the battles of Lützen, Nordlingen, Rocroi, and Freiburg. This new deluxe edition has a full-color instruction booklet, new artwork with enlarged maps on two back printed mounted game boards, larger counters, and new full color player aid cards. The Last Raiders is a solitaire game about the last three German raiders of World War I: Emden, Karlshule, and Konigsberg. These ships sought to disrupt the Allied (Entente) commerce and logistics by hunting and sinking merchant ships, bombing ports and coastal facilities, conducting raids, and gathering intelligence. Their success attracted and tied down dozens of Allied ships in defending commerce lanes, ports, and hunting the raiders. As these raiders continued their missions, it became riskier as their growing reputation made them the targets of Allied warships. Fall of Rome (S&T #181) is being updated to include variants and optional rules. One mounted map board, one counter sheet, full color play aid cards, and a 32-page full color rules booklet.

Pledge update DEC 2025


Decision Games conducted three surveys over the past two months. The first survey was a full review of all out-of-print magazine games. This included over 100 S&T and Wargamer titles. The winners for Deluxe Edition graphic update were Crusades and Sicily. In the second round, we surveyed all out-of-print boxed games. Beyond SPI games, games from Decision Games, 3W, Excalibre and Phoenix Games were included. The winner for graphic update was Descent on Crete. All three games have been added to the development schedule (see below).

To review, these three games will focus on a graphics update and will not involve redesign but will include optional rules and variants from S&T, MOVES, and other sources. Graphics updating will include map and counter artwork to current graphics with maps for Crusades and Sicily on our linen finish game boards (Descent on Crete has three maps and will be printed on paper). Rules will be upgraded to full color booklets and include updates of any published errata. Player aid cards will be added to improve player experience and to facilitate the enlargement of hexes and counters by shifting charts, tables, tracks, and displays from maps to player aid cards. These games will be published in boxed format, generally two-inch boxes (larger when needed).

The third survey was for new game designs. The three winners were Battles in the East #5: Kolach and Mars West, NATO, and U-Boat War. These will all begin design work in 2025.

In these surveys, we also asked about interest in play testing and proofing. We have already begun contacting proofing volunteers for current game and magazine projects. We will be conducting a major push to contact all play test volunteers in April to bring this new group on board.

Thanks,

Doc
