Modular expansions and solo player add-on to the 2016 strategy game of the year!
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
Thank all of you for your great support as we have slammed through all the stretch goals! Only 2 days left!
If you missed it in the comments we did post a solo run through of the expansion on Youtube here:

We will be testing out a somewhat newer Pledge Manager for this campaign. It's called GameFound and should support our needs as this campaign is not complicated. There will be add-on offers in their system and the ability to raise your pledge - but be warned that the prices in the PM may be a few bucks more than in this campaign. It would be best not to wait if you wish to lock in the price/reward. This is due to the unforeseen extra costs we'll have to endure from the trade tariffs that will very likely be affecting our game's costs.
Lastly, don't forget to join our fan group on Facebook to talk with other fans of our games and keep updated on games and future releases.

Wow, this campaign is going great and we have you all to thank for that. We really appreciate the support. Sorry if we're not overly entertaining in posting lots of updates, but we try to keep them to a minimal that actually contain content.
Jeremy Howard from Jambalaya Plays Games will be hosting a live feed on Facebook for a solo playthrough with the Cold War prototype. This is scheduled for 7pm CST this Friday the 14th and you can join for an event reminder here:

We've are having a hard time getting news out using our Facebook page considering they are now becoming more Group focused. Page posts are rarely shown to anyone even when we pay for them. As such we've started a new fan group for our followers to join to get current and future updates about Minion Games products - and of course direct access to ask us questions. Please consider joining the group:

I just wanted to remind those of you in the USA that we're offering a great bundle deal with the base Energy Empire game or the Minutes to Midnight game. Maybe you know a friend who would like to get the game and you can up your pledge to get it for only $40 more.
For those in the EU I still have about half the products left form Update #1 that I can sell VAT/Fee free to you. A flat 49 Euro ($55) will get the a base game delivered in two weeks to your home! You must contact [email protected] directly if you wish to take advantage of the deal to get these few games from our fulfillment partner in the UK.
Don't forget to share our project - many people don't know about it yet.

Thanks to all you great fans we have funded and even reached our first stretch goal already. We really appreciate all your support over the years and we hope to continue to please you.
If you have any questions check out the FAQ at the bottom of the campaign main page before posting to comments.
Offer to EU Gamers:
There has been a lot of talk in the comments about why we decided not to go with EU-Friendly on this project. We certainly will with our future larger games (like the Energy Empire Dice Game we plan to launch later this year). But there are many reasons for the way we're doing things. We're sorry if that cause you to wait for the retail version. Our games are distributed worldwide.
That said, I am willing to go out of my way to offer a little something extra for all you EU early backers... I do actually have a couple dozen games in a warehouse in the UK that I can sell direct to you outside of Kickstarter. But only on a limited first come first serve basis (backers only) as I have so few.
I have the following games that if you email me directly ( [email protected] ) and pay in Paypal can be yours if you live in the EU. We'll ship these out within the next two weeks! These prices all include shipping from the UK to an address inside the EU. These purchase will NOT count toward the campaign goals.
22 x Energy Empire - $55
10 x MP2: Minutes to Midnight - $55
66 x Chain Reaction (Tuckbox) - $20
5 x Chain Reaction (Deluxe *RARE*) - $35
55 x Dead Men Tell No Tales - $45
129 x Dead Men Tell no Tales - Kraken Expansion - $40
61 x Dead Men Tell no Tales - Pirates (7) - $35
14 x Cosmic Kaboom - $30
Some of these may be left for the pledge manager after this campaign but I wouldn't count on it. Also note this expansion will only appear as a USA exclusive add-on with our future campaigns as all inventory will be in the USA.
