What is the challenge coin?
The TOKYO SERIES challenge coin is a unique metal coin that you can only get by backing the Kickstarter project, or in person at special events. You can trade in the coin at conventions or other gatherings for unique or special items, such as a tenugui, Japanese candy, or a Washi Tape Game. There are future plans for mailing in your challenge coin for a reward, or possibly using them in a vending machine…

What is a Furoshiki wrap?
This is a traditional cloth wrap used in Japan, that has many functions. With the $10 add-on from the TOKYO SERIES, you can use it to wrap 3-4 TOKYO SERIES games and carry them with you. Handy!

Do the past TOKYO SERIES Kickstarter games include all prior stretch goals?
Yes! There is only one version of all of the games, and they include printing inside the box, and any stretch goals that have been unlocked.

Is the metal currency needed to play any of the games?
No, the metal currency is simply a quality and aesthetic upgrade. All of my games include high quality, linen chipboard money that works perfectly well to play them out of the box.

Which currency comes free with this campaign?
The new metal currency (CURRENCY TORAKKU) shown with the trucks, washing machines, and rice cookers on the campaign page comes free to everyone who pledges for at least one TOKYO SERIES game.
If you would like the currency from the previous campaign (CURRENCY SAKANA) you can add it on for $25.
Both metal currencies can be used as replacements for the chipboard currency, and have rules for their own stand-alone games.
Note that you must pledge for at least 1 TOKYO SERIES game during the campaign to receive the metal currency for free, however there will be a pledge manager after the campaign ends.

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.
