Our Campaign is now in the Pre-Launch phase.  Check it out and sign-up to be notified by Kickstarter when the Campaign goes "Live".

What is Kickstarter? 
Kickstarter is a website where developers of new, creative works may solicit funding from the general public, typically offering rewards if the project is successful.  The developers set a financial goal.  If that goal is met, then the backers will get charged the amount they pledged and the developer will receive the funding (after Kickstarter's fees).  If the goal is not met, then the backers are never charged anything, and the developer gets nothing.  

Why is Magician's Challenge doing a Kickstarter campaign?
Although we remain open to last-minute improvements, the Magician's Challenge game development is essentially complete.  We're ready to find a manufacturer to produce retail-ready copies of the game, and that will require a minimum order quantity.  Our campaign goal will be set to cover those manufacturing costs plus the shipment of the games to our distribution point.  

What is the Pre-Launch phase?
When a developer fully launches a project, you will be able to see a complete description of the project and a list of the rewards that are available for different levels of pledges.  During the Pre-Launch phase, the project page includes just a brief description plus a button that will allow potential backers to sign up to be notified by Kickstarter when the project fully launches. Signing up for this notification requires the backer to create an account with Kickstarter.  Asking for this notification carries no obligation to actually purchase something.

Why should I sign-up during the Pre-Launch phase?
Many Kickstarter campaigns, including Magician's Challenge, offer significant early-bird discounts or limited quantity rewards that you'll want to grab before they expire or sell out.  Sign up for the Pre-Launch notification to get a reminder to be one of those lucky few who can capture these deals.
