One subscription with a quantity of 20 does count as 20 toward the goal of 1000. The only way this happens is if at least 1,000 subscribers are onboard via the Ashes 1.5 Reborn Subscription. Instead of accepting that fate, we’ve partnered with Plaid Hat to pioneer this new Player-Driven Production subscription model and to give dedicated fans – assuming there are enough of us – the ability to make Ashes 1.5 a reality.

That’s why these games so often never get made or get lost in the noise after their initial hype dies down. Similarly, a game with smaller, affordable expansions make expandable games a bad fit for Kickstarter. We interviewed Colby Dauch (CEO of Plaid Hat) at GAMA this year where he spoke about the concept of a “minimum viable audience,” and our off-camera discussions quickly shifted to Ashes as a perfect example of this idea.Īn expandable card game from a smaller publisher doesn’t have the volume needed for the traditional three-tier system and demands shelf space from retailers.

If enough people sign up for our Ashes 1.5 subscription, Plaid Hat will reboot the game – starting with an Ashes 1.5 Upgrade Pack ($29.95) that contains rebalanced and streamlined reprints of ~30% of the Ashes 1.0 card pool – and new expansions will continue to be produced every three months as long as there are enough subscribers to meet the production threshold. Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn, the well-loved expandable card game from Plaid Hat Games, is getting a second chance through a new variation of our Covenant Subscriptions service we’re calling the Player-Driven Production model.
