Something Stirs in Kaladan — Backer Update, March 2026

Dear fellow adventurer,

A lot has happened in a very short space of time — and I wanted to share it with you directly. There are a few things in this update that genuinely need your attention, and a few things I just wanted you to be the first to know.

⚔️ 125 Sales — Production is Starting!

We've crossed the threshold. Thanks to you and every backer who believed in Generals of Kaladan, we've hit 125 sales — and production is now officially underway.

Your game is being made.

🏠 Matt is in Eindhoven

The Founders' Face-Off

Stay tuned — the Founders' Face-Off video is coming.

Designing the Lost Continent Playtesting in Eindhoven

Matt — co-creator of the world of Kaladan — is here in Eindhoven and we have been having the best time together. Playing games, designing new ones, building out the lore, and playtesting new modes and ideas for Generals of Kaladan.

We're working on some exciting new things — including the Team Game (2v2) and the upcoming expansion The Lost Continent, with new realms, unit types and terrain types. The world of Kaladan is still growing.

It's one of those weeks where you remember exactly why you started all of this. More soon.

🃏 Cards of Kaladan is Live

One Deck. A World of Games.

I'm incredibly excited to introduce Cards of Kaladan — a dark fantasy card game platform built around a single 78-card deck. One deck. Two complete and very different games.

Game One: Relic Hunter

A solo adventure through all 78 cards — fighting trump obstacles, collecting relics and treasures, managing your resources. 12 health points. One chance. Can you make it through alive?

Game Two: Sacred Contracts

A trick-taking game for 2–5 players. Set in the taverns of Nanchia, where bear monks settle disputes with cards. Make your sacred vow — your bid — then defend it while everyone else tries to tear it apart.

Both games launch as a physical card game and simultaneously as a free digital app. Android is live now. Apple iOS is coming very soon.

📱 Join the Android Beta

Before Google approves an app on the Play Store, they require 12 real people to test it for 14 consecutive days. That's the rule — and you can help us clear it.

Sign up, play Relic Hunter on your Android phone, and you'll be directly responsible for getting this game in front of thousands of new players.

🎲 Zuiderspel, Veldhoven

Zuiderspel 2026

Zuiderspel in Veldhoven was a wonderful day. Watching new people discover Kaladan for the first time — seeing that moment of curiosity turn into genuine engagement — is exactly what this is all about. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the table and gave the game a try.

Special Thanks to Chris — Backer #1 and someone who has believed in Kaladan from the very beginning — for coming out to Zuiderspel and helping at the stand. You are part of this story, Chris. Always will be. 🙏

That's it for this update. A lot happening — but all of it moving in the right direction.

The one thing I'd ask: if you have an Android phone, please sign up as a beta tester. It takes minutes and it genuinely makes all the difference for us right now.

With gratitude,

Sherif & Matt Creators — Generals of Kaladan & Cards of Kaladan
