The campaign does not include a pledge level for retailers, as Ares Games is aware of how hard it is for a retailer to commit funds several months before the release of a product, but business selling games can back the project at the Barbarian Hero or Barbarian King level and contact Ares for a personalized proposal.

The initial funding goal is $ 10,000, and the project starts with three initial stretch goals already set, at $20,000, $30,000 and 40,000.

Shipping Costs

Adventures in Hyboria is planned to ship to backers in April 2015, and the Age of Conan 1st Edition boardgame will ship to Barbarian King backers at the same time, from Ares' main warehouse in the USA and from secondary warehouse in Germany, with no customs charges to backers in the USA or in the European Union.

Shipping to any destination in the Continental USA is free of charge. In other countries, the shipping charges are highly variable by shipping method, destination, and are also subject to change over time. For these reasons, shipping charges are not included as a part of the pledge at this moment.

Ares is committed to make every effort to keep shipping charges as low as possible, while using reliable shipping methods with guaranteed delivery. The estimated shipping charges outside of the USA are:

  • between $ 12 and $ 15 for Barbarian Hero rewards shipping to a destination in the EU (including VAT charges)
  • between $ 15 and $ 25 for Barbarian Hero rewards shipping outside of the USA and EU
  • between $ 20 and $ 30 for Barbarian King rewards shipping to a destination in the EU (including VAT charges)
