Greetings Game Topper Nation!
Super excited that all the remaining surveys have gone out from Backerkit for those that used the pledge over time feature.
if you have not received your survey you can use this link to find it or Email us at [email protected]
You can now add on all those wonderful options that you have been excited about. Please fill out your surveys ASAP as we are trying to get numbers of how many new Easels and dice cups need to be ordered.We have 2 type of wood varieties and 3 styles to choose from.
I wanted to make you aware of something else Game Toppers is participating in. Many of you know about our world class, high quality premium game mats and how we have partnered in the past with major companies like Arcane Wonders with our Roman mat, and recently with Inside Up Games with our Nature mat.
Currently, on Gamefound, you can see the all New Andromeda's Edge mat we are doing for their Genesis campaign. I have to say I love all our mats like they are my children, but this one is special! Peter Vaughn & the team at Cardboard Alchemy has an amazing team of talented designers and artists! You can get it in 3 sizes on their campaign.
That's all for now! Thank you again for all the love and support!

Game Toppers 5.0 Pledge Survey Update 9-10-25
10 months ago
– Wed, Sep 10, 2025 at 01:27:11 PM
Hello Game Topper Nation!
We are back with a brief update as to the status of the post-campaign process as well as some additional useful information. Currently 61% of the pledge surveys have been completed and we are waiting on the remaining surveys to be completed.
If you were a Late Pledge backer (one who backed post campaign directly through Backerkit) you can disregard the following information as you will have already completed your pledge survey when you created the Late Pledge.
Pledge Over Time Backers:
A large percentage of the remaining surveys to be filled out are from the Pledge Over Time Backers. Tomorrow the final payment for those backers should be collected by Kickstarter. Once that has happened it can take a day or two for Kickstarter to send all that information on the payment completions to Backerkit, after which the pledge surveys will be sent out to those backers.
Once you receive your survey, please fill it out as quickly as possible. We are already in the production process, ordering materials and preparing for fulfillment, but having the final numbers is very important for us to keep that process moving and keep on our fulfillment schedule.
We are hoping to lock all surveys and process any outstanding charges by the end of the month. As such, please complete your survey by Friday, September 26th.
Lost Survey Recovery:
If you are NOT a Pledge Over Time backer and you have not yet received your survey you can try and locate it using this link. You will need to enter the same email address as used for your Kickstarter account that made the pledge:
Apple ID Backers through Kickstarter:
If you used Apple ID on the Kickstarter app, but haven't completely set up their Apple Pay account (linking their email address to their Apple Wallet) will have issues receiving their emails from BackerKit. You likely have not received your Kickstarter survey either. This is because the Apple ID creates a relay email address and information from the Kickstarter is sent to that email and from there to you. Essentially the only email address Kickstarter has is that relay email. When Kickstarter gives that relay email to BackerKit and BackerKit tries to send you emails for the pledge survey Apple does not recognize that email as coming from an authorized sender (because Kickstarter is the authorized sender), so the emails never make it to you.
If this is the case, please email us at [email protected] with the name on the pledge, the pledge number, and what email address you would like the survey sent too and we can update that in BackerKit for you.
Fulfillment Timeline Update:
Currently we are in the process of ordering and preparing for fulfillment, restocking products that we do not have enough inventory on hand for the fulfillment, as finishing up a few development details on the new products (proofing, designing packaging, preparing instruction videos, etc.). Once we complete the ordering process for the new products, we just need to wait for production and shipping timelines and then we are ready to begin the fulfillment process.
We believe we are still on track to meet the fulfillment timelines we listed during the campaign, that being Wave 1 US & Canada fulfillment in February of 2026 and then the EU, UK & other wave 2 pledges in June of 2026.
There is a chance we will possibly be able to fulfill some US pledges still in 2025 if we have the items currently on hand, but this is a complicated equation and not likely to effect that many backers. If you receive an email saying your pledge is about to ship and asking for you to verify your shipping address, that is the most likely sign that you are one of those few pledges that we can fulfill ahead of schedule. We'd much rather under-promise and over-deliver, so this is not a guarantee that this will be a common situation. Please refrain from emailing just to ask if your pledge could possibly be one of these. It takes away time that we can instead be using to move forward with the very large number of tasks at hand to prep for the fulfillment!
Of course we are happy to answer any other questions you might have about your pledge. You can reach out to [email protected] and we will be happy to assist you.
Things may be fairly quiet over the next few months as this process moves along, but we will drop some brief updates here and there just to keep you apprised of the current status of the incoming products.
Thank you all so much for your support. We look forward to fulfilling yet another Kickstarter campaign and getting these wonderful products into your hands as quickly as possible. Until next time.
-Josiah, Burky, & the Game Toppers Team
Game Toppers 5.0 Pledge Surveys are live!

Hello Game Topper Nation!
Josiah here. We have launched the pledge surveys this morning (I was on a delayed flight and missed my connection and so was not back in the office yesterday).
Many of you have started filling them out already. If you have any questions. Please email me at [email protected] and I will be happy to help.
One important note for Pay Over Time backers from the Kickstarter campaign. BackerKit does NOT send out surveys until all payments have been made through Kickstarter. This is the first time we have used this payment method, so we were not quite aware of how the interaction was handled. We apologize for any confusion on that front! Once the final payment has been made within a day or two you should receive your Backerkit survey and be able to make all of your selections in the pledge manager. You will not miss out on anything. All of the options will still be available to you as well as the stretch goals unlocked.
Thank you!
Pledge Manager Smoke Test just released. 7-22-25

– Tue, Jul 22, 2025 at 02:07:10 PM
Greetings Game Topper Nation!
Thank you all for your support of our Game Toppers 5.0 -One table to rule them all campaign.
It was a very exciting finish! Most companies launch their pledge manager and late pledge preorder stores many months after the end of a campaign, but even though it puts additional after campaign work, we tend to launch quickly so we can quickly start the acquisition process of all new items and get the ball rolling as soon as possible.
What is the pledge manager survey?
This is where you will be presented a series of questions that will allow you to select your preferences from your Kickstarter reward level you chose. for example: If you pledged for the Watson Topper it will ask you if you want the storage bag and it will show you the cost, you select yes or no. It's very simple to follow. It will allow you to select your mat from a pull down menu. After you answer the survey, you can then add any additional items... for instance, say you wanted the double mat bundle to add two more mats, then you will have a pull down menu to make your selections.(You can also change your reward level if you want to upgrade... for example: from the standard Holmes to the Oak Limited Edition Topper)
Please make sure you are checking your spam filters and have your email that you used in Kickstarter in your approved list from [email protected]
Smoke Test: What is it?
If you are new to pledge managers, this is simply a small sample of pledge manager surveys that goes out to about 5 percent of the backers. If you have received this early test it would be helpful if you could please fill out as soon as possible. (Of course, if you are contemplating your purchase take your time and do what is best for you) This sample lets us know if there is anything that need fixing or if we have missed something.
When will the rest of the Pledge Manager surveys go out?
I'm so glad you asked. 😊 We will send those out on Monday 28th. This will allow us to evaluate everything. Josiah will be available Monday to answer any questions or concerns you may have with the survey at [email protected]
I will be off to Gen Con. We do not have a booth there, but we have a bunch of publishers like...Asmodee, Lucky Duck Games, Arcane Wonders, Ares games, CGE, Inside Up Games, Renegade Games Studios and others that will have their toppers in their booths. You will probably see Scott, Kelly and I in our Top Hats. Make sure to say hi and get a picture. I may or may not have some homemade smoked backpack Jerky.
What if I only pledged for $1.
You will get a survey and you will be able to add any of the items in the Pre-order store at the Kickstarter prices. There are a few exclusive item for pledging at a reward level during the campaign for actual reward levels. Because you pledged, you change your pledge level to.. for example a topper reward you then can take advantage the extra awards like the extra mat for only $50 or the Free goblet holders with a topper pledge.
I think that is about it. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to us.
Burky and team!
Congratulations!

Greetings Game Topper Nation!
You did it! It was right down to the wire! What a horse race! My heart is so full of gratitude and thankfulness for everyone who contributed. I mentioned I might take a nap, but I actually have three business meetings so the nap will have to come later and then get refreshed and make sure we get everything working well for all of our awesome backers.
Many Thanks: My wife Joan listen to me get excited and agonizations. Is that even a but she knows what I mean by that she’s always been such a strong encouragement to press on!
My son Josiah has been working behind the scenes, tirelessly working on the Kickstarter pledge survey and the backer kit pledge manager. I am very proud of Josiah. He carries in an immense load extremely well! We hope to run the smoke test July 21 and have it fully running by July 24. Our late pledge options will be just before Gen Con.
My daughter, Hannah, who has worked on all of our graphics and put in so much extra time to make this possible. You’re doing an amazing job, honey. I’m so proud of you!
Josh Schaffron for your incredible diligence to bring these great engraved products, Our videographer, Steph Quernemoen, Ryan Laukat and Amber Scharf on the amazing artwork and energy put into it. Brent Woodside from Woodside Illistrations and his wonderful contributions. Donnie Chase, and the team at Crowd funding nerds, all our media supporters, and of course to you all of our backers. I feel like I’m probably leaving out people, but I’m overwhelmed with thankfulness for everyone.
We hope to continue providing new and innovative products for many years to come.
