If you've ever seen a chromium printed comic, you know how amazing this looks in real life. We figured, heck why not, if we hit 54k we will make this box REALLY SHINE! Please share and help us with this final push for the last day of the Kickstarter. 

Thanks!

What an AMAZING final 48 hours so far

Wow! What a day we had yesterday. A 6k jump and well on our way to 1200 backers! Thanks everyone for backing, sharing and helping us get from 36k to 46k and past so fast. The house-unique dropship meeples have been unlocked! Incredible. This game is going to look amazing. 

Note that these are upgraded dropship meeples, not "in addition to"

Just over 24 hours left. Let’s keep it rolling!

36k, unlocked dropship meeples, and just a couple of days left!

Grettings Travelers! We did it! We got through all of the stretch goals that we began with. This 36k unlock means that the cubes will now be dropship meeples. I'm stoked! 

Now what? We though what if each color of dropship meeple were also unique? NEW STRETCH GOAL!

If we hit 46k, the base game will come with these 4 awesome house-unique dropship meeple shapes that more closely mimic the motherships of each matching color.

Also I just wanted you all to know how happy I am that you've all stuck with us. And so I've been working on updating the card art. Take a look! 

Aaron has done an absolutely incredible job breathing even more life into the world of Sovereign Skies. The Flameborns are my favorite aliens and these looks AMAZING. - Nolan

32k! Wow ya'll are AMAZING

Thank you backers! For everyone who's just come aboard and to those of you who've stuck with us from the start. We've just unlocked the carved 2.5 inch wooden first player token! Is anyone else as excited as I am about this upgrade from the Sovereign planet symbol in punchboard to a chunky wooden meeple version? Oh c'mon look at that awesome thing!

We'll soon be revealing an all new stretch goal level once we unlock the cubes upgrade to dropship meeples at $36k. Please share and help us get there to see what else is in store as we near the end of our KS campaign!

We also wanted to take this opportunity to give props to the makers of Labyrinthos, a very talented all-women team whose game is on Kickstarter now!

Live the Legend

"Labyrinthos is an innovative strategic exploration game inspired by the ancient Greek legend of the Minotaur. Players take on the roles of Athenian sacrifices that have been forced into the Labyrinth to feed the monstrous son of Minos. Each player must explore the maze to uncover its secrets and outsmart the other sacrifices trying to escape. It's easy to learn, quick to play, and offers tons of interesting player choices!"


Thanks!

We've reach 28k! and unlocked the unique mothership meeples!
over 4 years ago – Fri, Oct 04, 2019 at 08:49:02 PM

Thanks so much backers for getting us here to 28k! We're super excited about getting these mothership meeples into the game. Each of these ships are now in the shape of an Old-Earth house ship as rendered by artist Giacomo Tappainer.

Wanna know more about these factions? Read on!

Four houses of Old-Earth are sending representatives from the human core to establish diplomacy and institute collaboration with the various indigenous species of the Atlum-rich Abyssi cluster.

Universus
The Universus pride themselves on proper manners, tradition, and formal high-class neo-victorian dress. They are well versed in banking, law, war and politics. Dirty dirty politics.

The Iron Sun Division
The Iron Sun are militaristic, brutal, yet often charming and quite persuasive. They adorn themselves in offset pieces of armor and high-tech byzantine headware. Superior firepower is held in the highest regard.

The Temporum
The Temporum are unmatched in developing sleek tech and advanced AI. They often don sleek couture with long lapels, high collars, and glowing ocular-hud implants. They are savvy marketers and even better deal-makers.

Voldan
The Voldan are driven by the doctrines and prophecies of their mysterious dark religion. Their shiny black attire is often detailed with intricate golden maze patterns. Writhing face tattoos appear to determine rank. They campaign to extinguish sin by recruitment before the coming "end of light."

Please continue to share Sovereign Skies and help get us to the next stretch goal: the carved first player token! Thanks!
