Are there going to be German (or other non EN) language addon packs for Tycoon: India 1981?
I appreciate that a lot many have asked this question! I wanted to clarify a few points regarding the language independence of this game.
The entire game is mostly icons-based. While there is some text that supports the icons, the majority of the game can be understood very well with the iconography. While I was trying to study what translations might be required for the cards, etc., I realized that the translations are mostly in the range of conjunctions, articles, and prepositions (for example, Gain X if you have Y)
Therefore, instead what I am trying to do is reduce text and increase the use of iconography, so that it makes the game as language-independent as possible, so it should work for all languages! Secondly, it means major cost savings - both for you and me :)
(The language independence is also backed by notable rules teacher Branislav Berec in his Slovakian video covering Tycoon)

What are the Kickstarter exclusive benefits of backing Tycoon: India 1981 now?
-
The Coinage chips are a limited print run designed predominantly for the Tycoon Deluxe Edition backers. It is likely that these would run out before entering retail next year
-
Kickstarter Promo set of Riches & Revolutions: a 10 card KS exclusive addon that adds 5 new Industries and Policies.
-
Access to reduced pricing on Standard and Deluxe editions, and the best chance of getting the game! (Being an indie publisher it is difficult to get into worldwide retail apart from a few stores that’ve shown interest)

Will Tycoon: India 1981 be demoed at Essen Spiel 2023?
While I’m trying my best to get a demo copy to Essen, it is getting very difficult to coordinate getting a rented space from another publisher, even if I have volunteers who are ready to help with demoing Tycoon. So I’m afraid it might not be possible on this short notice :(

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.
