How big are the tiles?
The tiles measure 12x12” and have a base thickness of 1/4” – with a maximum height variation from the surface of 1” Last updated: Fri, Apr 12 2013 5:27 pm EDT
Are these tiles compatible with… those other tiles on the market?
THOSE tiles are 24x24” and a bit thicker – but with a bit of foam compatibility should not be an issue. Last updated: Fri, Apr 12 2013 5:27 pm EDT
Will there be a 4x6’ table option?
Sort of. The basic tile set is a 4x4’ section of 16 tiles… BUT! For the Kickstarter we have added a “Mini-Wargamer” level that includes 8 random tiles, pulled from the same theme as your pledge selection, for a total of 24 tiles – perfect for making your 4x6’ table!

Can we mix-and-match?
When the Kickstarter closes you will be able to select from ANY of the unlocked themes for both you pledge level AND any add-on tile sets. For the “generic” themes this will include 16 tile sets of those tiles, although these will not include 16 unique tile designs. Last updated: Fri, Apr 12 2013 5:27 pm EDT
Is October the anticipated delivery for the ALL of the unlocked themes?
No. We anticipate a six month production window from concept to delivery on each new theme, but much of this work will happen concurrently. For instance with the “Scrap Yard” renders nearly finished we can start on “Urban Streets” while the Kickstarter is still running. Ideally it should take no more than one year to deliver on all 4 major themes, and both minor themes, if they all get unlocked. The biggest challenge is that it can take as long as 100 hours to mill ONE of the 12x12” molds because of how detailed we’ve made the tiles. Last updated: Sat, Apr 13 2013 11:15 am EDT
How will the tiles be packaged?
The tiles will come in a two part cardboard box with individual tile spacers. A bag will be made available as an add-on item and will be previewed in the updates. Last updated: Fri, Apr 12 2013 5:30 pm EDT

Last Updated At: 09/24/14What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
