Latest Updates from Our Project:
Goals Smashed! Outsider Event! Less Than 1 Week!
almost 3 years ago
– Sat, Jun 19, 2021 at 11:35:38 PM
Hey Trolls,
It is hard to believe that it has already been 3 weeks (thereabouts) since the Fall of the Mountain King campaign launched. We are so unbelievably proud of what the campaign has achieved in that time. Since then we have unlocked 14 Stretch Goals, and are well on our way to our 15th. We have introduced over 20 Trolls to you. AND, we have over 2800 backers. That is no small feat. As I always do, I would like to welcome all of our new backers that have joined us since the last update was sent out. You are in store for a rocking last week of our campaign. And for those of you who have been with us since beginning or have supported us throughout, you have no idea how much it means to us to have here. We appreciate you all so much.
What We've Unlocked
We are so happy to have reached this Stretch Goal. That Gnome Wheel needed some pizzazz!
More Trollllllllllssssssss! More variability!!
What We're Working On
In my opinion, every game needs sparkle. Can't wait to unlock this one!
Get in the game with the new Outsider Event!
Make your voice heard! There are two ways to get involved, you can do either or both... read the text below to see how. Don't forget that we are still taking suggestions until Monday at noon EST. We'll begin voting just after that.
Another Preview
This time, it's a written one. Jonathan H. Liu from Geekdad sinks his teeth into Fall of the Mountain King. Read more here.
We have noticed a very strong correlation between the days that Fall of the Mountain King is on Kicktraq's Hotlist, and acquiring more backers. More backers means more Stretch Goals. Kicktraq is a very big part of how people find games to support. It is a platform to find out funding stats for Kickstarter campaigns. If Fall of the Mountain King is on the Kicktraq HOTLIST, many, many, many more people will see the game. This will get us more backers, which in turn, will get us to more Stretch Goals. If you want to move Fall of the Mountain King back onto this list, check it out on Kicktraq, click on Visit Project, and come back to comment on the main page. Kicktraq's algorithms will take care of the rest.
How You Can Help To Move This Campaign
Share this campaign to help us get more backers. More backers = more Stretch Goals!!
As always during a Burnt Island KS campaign, if you have any questions or want to talk to us about anything, please don't hesitate to post your comments or questions here or on the main page. We're here for you!
You are all amazing, and we are so lucky that you chose to be with us for Fall of the Mountain King!
Until next time Trolls ...

Hey Trolls!
It's a new update!! We are so excited to tell you what's been going on here at the Fall of the Mountain King headquarters. Before I do that, I want to send out a very warm welcome to all of our new backers. We're excited to have you here with us. And to those of you who have been here for some time already, we can't thank you enough for your incredible support. We've been having so much fun with you.
What We've Unlocked
I said it before, and I'll say it again. Every game should have dual layered boards!!
While I love all of the Champions, Tsshak's illustration, so far, is my favourite.
Congrats to backer J.M. Otazo! J.M. had the most votes on his design. J.M. please email us at info (at) burntislandgames (dot) com. We are very excited to play At the Mall With the Mountain King in the near future ;P
What's Next... the new Event!
Kicktraq's Hotlist Makes a Difference

More Stretch Goals Unlocked

Hey Trolls,
It's been some time since I have updated you. And so much has happened since the last time. As we do, we want to welcome all of our new backers. We're excited to have you here with us. We invite you to say a few words in the main comment page and tell us which Troll you'd like a bio of next. You can also tell us what kind of Stretch Goals you are looking for on this campaign. And to those of you who have been here with us, those of you who have commented and made your voices heard about these things already, we can't thank you enough for being here with us. We've been having some much fun with you. Now, on to the good stuff!
What We've Unlocked
You are never going to want to cover up these shiny gold Elders!! Which is fine, because it's against the rules to anyway.
This deck of Troll Champions is really shaping out this game. The sheer number of them is going to drive the game to be so different every time you play. We love them because their personalities are so diverse and their powers so varied. Excellent additions to Fall of the Mountain King.
What We're Working On
While we already have so many Stretch Goals, we have decided to make the next few Stretch Goals closer together so that we can get as much of this content to you as we can. We have so much planned and realize that we're running out of time. While we're in the mid-campaign slump, we'll keep it tight. Check out the next two amazing Stretch Goals!
I wish every game came with dual layer boards!!
I must admit, this is my favourite illustration yet. So beautiful!

Another Couple of Stretch Goals Down, and Stuff

Hey Trolls!
Wow! This campaign is earning Stretch Goals at a much faster rate than we had anticipated. We're so happy that all of this amazing Fall of the Mountain King content is going to be in the game. So much to talk about today. But before I get into the nitty gritty, I'd love to welcome our newest backers to this awesome campaign. We have so much in store for you over the next 15 days. With so much time to go, you never know what might happen! And to those of you who have been here since before the last update, we are so thankful to you for helping us to make this happen! Onward ...
What We've Unlocked
What We're Working On
From now on we'll have two unlocked Stretch Goals released so that you know what we are striving for. We're going to do this because we want you to be able to see how much incredible content we are adding to this game. Check out the next two Stretch Goals!
Mountain King "Pitch" Contest
The submissions for the Mountain King "pitch" contest are closed. Voting will begin soon. We've had many submissions and want to make sure we do a good job at organizing them. Stay tuned for our next update where we'll have voting information for you. Thank you for all of your incredible and creative submissions. I've been doubled over in laughter for several days because of them!
Questions About Shipping and VAT for Backers From Spain and Germany
As you might or might have not heard, we have partners from both of these countries. That means that the games will ship from within these countries. This is why we were able to lower the shipping prices. We've been getting some questions from backers about VAT and would like to clarify this. VAT will be charged to you in the BackerKit Pledge Manager. It has not already been included in the price of the game. Unfortunately, games are not tax free. I'm sorry I don't have better news. It has been a reality for us here in Canada since before I can remember.
As always during a Burnt Island KS campaign, if you have any questions or want to talk to us about anything, please don't hesitate to contact us through a DM in Kickstarter. We're here for you!
