Third Thursday Update- May

– Thu, May 15, 2025 at 06:55:15 AM
Howdy partners,
We know we've mentioned this in the last few updates, but editing is still underway. There are SO MANY cards to refine! Fortunately, we're nearing the end of the editing and implementation phase and anticipate being able to send the English editions to print soon. Our current estimate is to go to print in June, with production expected to continue through August.
The French editions will require an additional month or two to incorporate these updates. While we have the original French files, the significant number of edits we've made need to be carefully applied.
We understand that this puts us behind our initial Kickstarter schedule, and we sincerely apologize for the delay. Please know that these edits are significantly improving the game's clarity and structure, ultimately leading to a much more enjoyable experience for you.
US Tariffs
The recent news regarding the temporary lowering of tariffs is fantastic. While we don't anticipate being able to deliver the games within this 90-day pause (as mentioned above), we're hopeful that these lower prices will continue. Unfortunately, it's impossible to predict the tariff situation when delivery begins. We will keep you informed about our plan for handling tariffs as we get closer to the actual shipping date.
Thank you again for your incredible support.

File Preparation, Edits, and Tariffs

Howdy partners,
It has been a whirlwind of edits and corrections on the files as we get things finalized. We understand this phase has gone beyond our initial estimates, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. The sheer scope of this game requires thorough attention to detail to ensure a high-quality final product.
Our editor is diligently reviewing all cards and scenarios, followed by our graphic team, who are applying necessary corrections. Once the English files are complete, we will forward them to our French partner for translation. This thoroughness is essential to avoid any inconsistencies between language editions, a lesson learned from the original Western Legends (looking at you, Cabaret icons).
US Tariffs
If you have a Kickstarter game shipping or in production, you’ve probably had the talk from someone by now. The tariff situation in the US has been shifting dramatically over the last month and doesn’t seem like it will change in the immediate future.
For Our NON-US Backers (yes, you too Canada)
We want to assure you that the US tariff situation will not impact your shipping costs. Our established network of five international fulfillment hubs will ensure your games are shipped as soon as they are ready. Furthermore, these tariffs will not affect the future pricing of our games for our non-US customers. Our fulfillment and distribution strategy for your regions will continue to mirror our approach with the EU, where applicable taxes are either integrated into the local MSRP or collected as a separate fee within the pledge manager (similar to VAT).
For Our US Backers
Due to the unpredictable nature of the US tariffs, we are still finalizing the exact approach. However, our current intention is to follow a similar model to our recent fulfillment project, Kemet: Rise of the Gods. This would involve charging a portion of the tariff costs as a flat fee based on your pledge level. Importantly, add-ons will not increase this fee. Kolossal Games will absorb the remaining tariff costs. We believe this is a necessary adjustment due to unforeseen tax changes.
While we understand this may be unexpected, we also recognize that backers in other regions routinely pay taxes on their orders, and we aim for a degree of fairness. By only charging a portion, we hope to mitigate the impact on you. Please note that future campaigns will clearly state any anticipated tax or tariff fees upfront. The specific tariff fee for this campaign will be determined closer to the shipping date, as the situation remains fluid.
Refund Policy: If the idea of the implementation of a partial tariff fee for US backers changes your decision on receiving the game, we fully respect your choice. We are offering refunds to those who no longer wish to proceed. Please submit a ticket through our support portal here: https://kolossal.games/support
Cheers,
The Kolossal Games Team
I apologize for the lack of banners in the update. We're on the road this week, and I don't have the file on the laptop.
March Third Thursday Update- More and More File Prep

– Thu, Mar 20, 2025 at 07:30:06 AM
Hey Backers!
Good news! We're moving right along with the card and file updates. Our development team has wrapped up their work, and now the graphics team is busy implementing all those changes. We've also brought in a professional editor to give everything a final polish—with a game this big, we wanted to make sure everything is perfect!
The miniatures are officially in production! We've sent them off to the factory to begin the mold-making and fine-tuning process. This step takes time, but we're working hard to make sure they're ready right when the printed components are finished.
We'll be updating the Tabletop Simulator mod and sharing details on the demo program as soon as we can. Stay tuned!
Thanks for hanging in there!

February Third Thursday Update

– Thu, Feb 20, 2025 at 05:01:38 PM
Howdy partners,
We're making good progress on card updates. The process has been lengthy due to the need to translate the files from French to English and ensure consistent terminology across all files. Our graphic designer is currently incorporating these changes.
Once complete, we'll update the Tabletop Simulator and open the game for playtesting. We'll share playtest instructions and a survey soon. Participants will be rewarded with items like previous Kolossal games, discounts, and priority shipping on a new Western Legends promo pack (original series) that will be revealed soon. Stay tuned for the reveal!
We know this update is brief, but we're working hard behind the scenes and are excited to share the updated files with you.
Cheers,
The Kolossal Games Team

Howdy partners!
We apologize for the slower responses to your questions these past couple of weeks. With the Chinese New Year celebrations, we were busy finalizing approvals and printing with our team overseas before they began their holiday break. This was mainly focused on our Street Fighter V project, but rest assured, Western Legends Stories has been undergoing some exciting edits as well!
Eleanor Owens-
Terrence Burton
Bud Wago
In other news, The Geek Dad recently reviewed Western Legends Stories and had some fantastic things to say!
"The game is well-designed, the cards and artwork are incredible, and the components really add to the game.If you are a fan of the original Western Legends or really enjoy stories set in the old west, then I highly recommend this game to you."

Speaking of which, we're thrilled to give you a first look at some of the new characters you'll encounter in Western Legends Stories:

Pledge Manager Closed
We understand there was some confusion about the pledge manager closing date. We received a number of requests to keep it open a little longer, and since it's much easier to manage changes while the manager is still open, we decided to extend the deadline by a few days.
If you had any issues with your pledge or payment, please don't hesitate to submit a ticket here
The site will redirect you to the Independent Publishers Alliance support page (we're proud members!). This helps us streamline our support process, as your ticket will be assigned to the team member most familiar with your specific issue.
Stagecoach Poll
Don't forget to cast your vote in the Stagecoach mini poll! The Chiara miniature is currently in the lead, but there's still time for that to change. Voting closes this Friday, so head over to BoardGameGeek to make your voice heard:
That's all for now! We appreciate your patience as we catch up on messages and comments. We'll be working through those today and tomorrow. And again, if you have any issues with your pledge, please submit a support ticket so we can assist you.
