What game modes does the game offer?
Fundamentally, Reviving Kathmandu is a competitive game. A solo mode and an optimised 2 player mode is available and you can also play in teams if you can divide the teams with equal numbers of players (eg. 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3). Additionally there are 3 advanced game modes available that you can decide to use together or one at a time.

How will you help rebuild a school?
Reviving Kathmandu is based on a real-life event, and we made it a project that does not only offer a great game, but also helps those in need. To support the reconstruction of schools in Nepal after the 2015 earthquake, we will use our own funds to donate $1 after each Reviving Kathmandu game sold on Kickstarter to All Hands and Hearts NGO’s Nepal relief program. You can read more about the Nepal Relief Program here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_f0ynzEa_cZeD8TPj0Ihma17lE-eBwHX/view

What is the Globetrotter Game Series?
At Lemery Games we are making a series of games we call the Globetrotter Game Series. Each game takes players to a new country, armed with the items necessary to complete an important mission (suitcase (game box) and passport (rulebook)). The first game in the series, Chili Mafia, was successfully funded on Kickstarter in August 2021. In Chili Mafia, players had to travel to the colourful country of Mexico for a chili pepper showdown. To learn more about the game, please visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lemerygames/chili-mafia. In Reviving Kathmandu you will travel to the earthquake-damaged city of Kathmandu as architects with the aim to rebuild the city. In this bidding and set-collection game you’ll build monuments to earn the most points. We’ll organise a voting on our website where you’ll be able to choose your next destination after Kathmandu, Nepal. Subscribe for more information on lemerygames.com!

When will I receive the game?
- Soon after the campaign ends, we will open the Pledge Manager. In the Pledge Manager you will be able to choose add-ons (additional items) and provide your shipping address.
- Once the prototype proofing stage is over, we will immediately send the game to mass production.
- Manufacturing can take quite some time (roughly 2 months), depending on the quantity and the availability of raw materials. Once manufacturing is finished, the games will be freight shipped, go through customs and arrive at our warehouses. The warehouse staff will carefully inspect and sort all games. Once inspected, they will pick and pack your purchased items, label each box, and ship it to the address you provided. Please note that there could be delays at any point along the way, but we and our partner companies will do our best to make the whole process as smooth as we can.
- That being said, we are planning to deliver your package to your doorstep by December 2023, just in time for Christmas.

Are local taxes like VAT included in the price?
It would not be accurate to include local taxes in the price as it differs from country to country. As we ship worldwide, the local taxes will be calculated and added in the Pledge Manager after the campaign. So for example if you are located in the EU, you will be required to pay roughly 21% VAT in the Pledge Manager (depending on your country).

Will Reviving Kathmandu be available in retail?
You may see the game in certain stores in the future, as some stores purchase games through the Kickstarter campaign. Other than that, we have some distribution partners in the US, France, Italy, Hungary, Ukraine and China - but we have no agreement on Reviving Kathmandu as of now, so there is a chance that Reviving Kathmandu Deluxe edition will not hit stores. After the campaign, you’ll be able to purchase the game in the pledge manager (for a limited time) and then on our website: www.lemerygames.com. However, please note that the MSRP (retail price of the game) will be higher than the prices on Kickstarter.

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.
By pledging, you acknowledge and accept that the final appearance, materials and content of the rewards are susceptible to change and may differ from what is displayed on the Kickstarter page. You may be responsible for import duties and any other duty that may be payable to relevant tax authorities. You are responsible for providing correct address information and for ensuring that said address can be delivered by normal methods.
