Will the Kickstarter bonuses be included in the retail version of the expansion?
No, they will not be available in the retail version of the expansion, however depending on demand we may make these individually later. (probably not but want to keep options open!)

Does the Armageddon box look good next to the Plague Inc: The Board Game box?
Yes! It has the same height and width (but thinner), so they will sit together nicely on shelves.

Do all the the new Armageddon components fit in the original Plague Inc: The Board Game box?
Yes! If you want to have the expansion pack and the base game all in one box for easy access then you can!

Is Armageddon compatible with the 5th player expansion from the last kickstarter?
Yes! Back when we launched the base game’s Kickstarter we included an exclusive 5th Player Expansion, which came with all the components needed for a 5th player to join the game (these were Green coloured). With Armageddon we’re including a new ‘Extra Player’ with components in a new colour (TBC what colour exactly). This means that anyone who didn’t back the original Kickstarter can now play with 5 players as well. It also means that the original game’s backers will be able to play with 6 players if they want (though we aren’t officially supporting that many players ;) )

What 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.
