What’s the age range for No Thank You, Evil!?

No Thank You, Evil! can be enjoyed by families with children as young as four and up into their teens, along with adult family members. A scalable design adapts to the needs of individual players, allowing less experienced players to use simpler rules, while giving older players more sophisticated options—all while playing together. The game remains engaging and frustration-free for the whole family.

Can children play No Thank You, Evil! without their parents?

In No Thank You, Evil!, one of the players takes on the role of the Guide. This is often a parent, but an older child who has played the game a couple of times can also fill this role.

What about children who hate reading, struggle with math, or suffer from colorblindness, autism, dyslexia, or other challenges?

Every kid is different. No Thank You, Evil! has been carefully researched and designed to remove the barriers that prevent some children from enjoying tabletop games. In addition to rules that are easily tailored to the developmental level of each player, the rules, text, and components have all been designed to make the game as playable as possible for children with colorblindness, mild autism, or difficulties with reading or math. And we’re investigating a braille supplement!

How much is shipping?

Basic shipping in the United States is free. (If you’re super-eager to get your copy, you can upgrade to a higher shipping class, but you’ll be charged accordingly at the time of fulfillment.) For international backers, you’ll pay the shipping costs at the time of fulfillment, but we’ll subsidize $10 of your basic shipping cost. (In other words, if the cost to ship is $38, you’ll pay $28.) Warning: international shipping is expensive. We don’t have any control over that, and we can’t accurately predict what shipping rates will be at the time of fulfillment. If you’re an international backer and have questions about shipping rates, you can visit the USPS web site to get an estimate (http://postcalc.usps.com). We anticipate—but cannot guarantee—that the Standard Edition will weigh about 3lb., and that the Kickstarter Edition will weigh in excess of 5lb. Both items are subject to spec changes, the addition of stretch goal items, and the weight of packaging.

If I don’t back this now, can I buy it later?

You’ll be able to get the Standard Edition of No Thank You, Evil! The really awesome Kickstarter Edition, however, is exclusive to this campaign. We’ll print those sets to order. There may be a few extras (we need to overprint in case any are lost or damaged in fulfillment), and if so we’ll make them available after the game’s release, perhaps through our web store or at an event such as Gen Con. But don’t count on it—non-KS quantities, if any, will be very limited.

BackerKit FAQ

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.
