Confirmed by Awaken Realms: The Veterans pledge includes sleeves for ALL the cards. No need to buy any yourself.

Confirmed by Awaken Realms: If you want the Game Play All In pledge – get the Survivors pledge.

Confirmed by Awaken Realms: The acrylic pack will work with the 1st Edition game.

Confirmed by Awaken Realms: All the stretch goals that are included in the Upgrade Pack will not be with standees – but with miniatures

And this clarifies why:

Confirmed by Awaken Realms: Tactics is not available separately. But it IS included as part of the 2nd Edition Core Box (which means it is part of the Survivors and Veterans pledges as well)

Confirmed by Awaken Realms: The 1 character per player mode **IS** included in the Upgrade Pack.

Confirmed by Awaken Realms: The Journal will be of a higher quality material and include the new Stretch Goal PLUS they are adding some artwork to it!

PLUS … in addition to the nicer Journal … they are adding an advanced rulebook (assuming it will contain the advanced rules found in the Script Book)

Confirmed by Awaken Realms: Sleeved cards should fit into the insert that comes with the game.

Note that this was not the case with the 1st Edition. However, the KMC Perfect Size (aka Perfect Fit) sleeves DID work and fit into the insert! And I like those sleeves because they are thin and more form fitting! See the past article about them that includes very short videos about the sleeves and fitting cards into the insert:

=> 1st Edition Sleeving Cards with KMC Perfect Size

Confirmed by Awaken Realms: The rules from the 1st Edition remain the same for the 2nd Edition. HOWEVER … they ARE adding some new play modes with their own rules!

Confirmed by Awaken Realms: The furniture miniatures are not included with the Core game. If purchased via Add-On they will come in a separate box (and will not fit in the main game box).
