Rulebook Update, Final Drawings & Late Pledge open!

Hey everyone!
Quick update from us, and good news for anyone who missed the campaign: late pledges are now open. You can still hop in here: https://goblin-party.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Late pledges will stay open until we send everything to the manufacturer in January.
Now onto the progress.
The rulebook just received a big overhaul from our editor. It is in much better shape now, and we are really happy with how it is coming together. If you want to take a look: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-NZ5V1rY7IRNwmqnS-5WXoYoqv4Zj8nJ/view?usp=drive_link
Remember, visually it might still change a bit!
On the art side, we have wrapped up all the Heroes and Warchiefs. Only a handful of monsters remain for the Monsters of the Deep expansion, so we are getting close to the finish line there as well.
Once those last pieces are in, we will be doing a few final playtesting sessions to make sure everything is balanced and behaving the way it should.
We are still on track to send all the files to the manufacturer in January. If everything continues at this pace, we are looking good for our April and May shipping window.
Thank you again for all your support and patience. This project is shaping up into something we are incredibly proud of. More updates soon!
Cheers,
Eric & Lars

🎉We Did It! 1,313 Backers Made Goblin Party Real!

1313 Backers!
What an incredible milestone, 1,313 of you joined us to bring Goblin Party to life! We can’t thank you enough for the overwhelming support. It still feels unreal that so many people believe in our little goblin-filled dream.
We also had a fun coincidence: our company name is Bandit Board Games, and the number of backers (1313) reflects that, BB. Love it when the stars align like that!
Some Fun Stats
- Our first backer came from way down under in Australia (cheers, mate!).
- Our last backer joined us from Canada, so this journey stretched all the way from the south to the north.
- We finished with €81,577 raised, 1,313 backers, and 1,087% funded!
- An amazing 29% of our Kickstarter followers pledged, almost triple the Kickstarter average of about 10%!
What’s Next
These last 30 days have been very hectic, so first we’re taking a few days off to let everything land. After that we’ll be:
- Finalizing all the files and artwork.
- Putting the finishing touches on the rulebook and balancing.
- Moving full speed into manufacturing Goblin Party.
To keep things smooth (and inboxes happy), we’ll switch to only major updatesfrom here on out.
From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for making this dream a reality. We couldn’t be happier, and we can’t wait to get Goblin Party into your hands.
Cheers,
Eric & Lars

⚔️ Final 24 Hours - Two New Heroes Join the Goblin Party!
7 months ago
– Wed, Oct 08, 2025 at 05:36:21 AM
Hey everyone,
It’s hard to believe, but the Goblin Party campaign is entering its final 24 hours! ⏳
What a ride this has been, over 1,200 backers strong and more support than we ever dreamed. Because of all of you, we’ve smashed the €75,000 stretch goal, which means the High-Damage Goblins will now get clan-specific upgraded art!
Expect them to look even meaner, funnier, and more unique depending on their clan. That's 15 cards with upgraded artwork!
And since we’re ending with a bang, we wanted to reveal one last surprise…
💥 Two brand-new Elite Heroes are joining the game, free for all backers!
More enemies for your goblins to crush, more chaos for every party.
We can’t thank you enough for making this possible. This campaign has been such an adventure, and seeing the enthusiasm, comments, and creative chaos from this community has been incredible.
Let’s enjoy this final stretch together, and then… it’s time to start preparing the Party for your tables! 🎲
Cheers,
Eric & Lars

👑 Meet the Warchiefs – 5 leaders that change the game
7 months ago
– Thu, Sep 25, 2025 at 10:57:31 AM
Hey everyone, it’s Eric & Lars!
Every Goblin clan needs a leader in Goblin Party, your choice of Warchief changes the whole game.
We’re excited to show 5 of the 50 Warchiefs you’ll command, each with unique abilities, artwork, and tricks that make your clan play differently.
- ⚡ Furyblade – This Warchief enrages your wounded Goblins, giving them extra damage.
- ❄️ Frostwarden – Goblins from the cold mountains are more resilient and have far more hit points than their cousins from lower altitudes.
- ☠️ Shadowmaster – Raw power isn’t always necessary to strike your foes. This Warchief can deploy two extra spies to play at any time.
- 🌿 Gladerunner – Short on Essence? The Root Clan doesn’t mind sacrificing a Goblin or two for the greater good.
- 💎 Crystalfang – Crystal Goblins have a special affinity with Essence. They aren’t restricted to a certain type and can use it twice.
These are just the 5 default Warchiefs you’ll see in your first games. But with over 50 Warchiefs to explore, every session truly feels different, we still find ourselves surprised by new strategies and moments of fun as we battle each other and the Heroes.
Cheers,
Eric & Lars

PS: If you like this showcase, let us know! We can show more Warchiefs in future updates!
The Dryad joins Goblin Party 🌿 (thanks to you!) 15 Art Upgrades next!

Dear Backers,
We’re humbled and thankful, with your support, we’ve just crossed the €50,000 milestone! This truly means the world to us. The Elite Hero Dryad has now joined the party, which means the core game includes 7 Elite Heroes now, a huge step forward we couldn’t have achieved without you!
Looking ahead, our next goal is an art upgrade for the 3 Damage Goblins. These crafty little goblins can change their attacks depending on position or other tricks, and we want to make them truly unique to their clans. Imagine the Shadow Clan outrider mounted on a crocodile, while the Frost Clan outrider dashes in on a snow fox. Eric is already brimming with ideas for these illustrations, and we can’t wait to show you more!
Thank you again for joining us on this journey, together, we’re making this game into something truly special.
With gratitude,
Eric & Lars
