Another Stretch Goal and a Designer Diary

Ahoy Backers!
Wooden keys!!!!!!!!! You have unlocked our next amazing Stretch Goal for the Captain AND Commodore reward levels. The wooden keys, which signify the unlocking of Exploits, are now ours! We did this with almost 2000 backers and $175 000+. Wow!
What We're Aiming For
The next Stretch Goals we are aiming for are a second new set of Stretch Goal Exploits. I am incredibly excited for this one because my favourite Exploit is part of this set. At this level we are introduced to the Jesuit Missionaries which allow you to send missionaries to remote regions and help you thrive. This level of Exploits also includes the Manila Galleons which allows you to earn treasury tokens and swap goods. Finally, and my favourite Exploit, the Haitian Revolution. This Exploit allows you to navigate the outcome of history's only successful slave-led uprising (against the French, in what would become Haiti).
After that, the next stretch goal that we are working toward is 10 stunning wooden Fortification Markers. Fortification is a new rule that appears in more than one Exploit (you'll see it in the Spanish Main and Dutch East India Company Exploits, so far). What a great tactile experience it will be to be able to play with these wooden forts!
Endeavor: Age of Sail Designer Diary by Jarratt Gray
If you frequent Board Game Geek, you know that often game designers will post diaries telling of how they designed their games, giving you insight into their decision-making process. I am excited to introduce Jarratt Gray's first Designer Diary, Reevaluating the Opening of the Game. Have a read!
Don't Forget
The more backers we have the closer we get to those incredible Stretch Goals.

We Are Really Sailing!

Ahoy there backers!
First off we wanted to say that we are giddy right now!! We are so excited to be watching you engage in the campaign the way you have been. It was my (Helaina) dream to reprint Endeavor: Age of Sail, and you are making that happen! The team is incredibly grateful!
Right now we are over $135k and more than 1560 backers and couldn't be happier. This is really something to celebrate!
As you may or may not know, Kickstarter was experiencing some technical difficulties yesterday. We were unable to send updates and could not add to the campaign page. You were tearing through Stretch Goals and we could not keep up! Look at what you've uncovered so far ...
That's pretty unbelievable for less than 24 hours of work! We can't thank you enough for being here on the first day to watch it all unfold.
Let's take a look at what is coming next ...
You must know that the only way to get to these amazing goals is to share the campaign with your friends. Here is a link you can use to do that:
We hear you backers and we want you to be happy! We have been working with our numbers and have decided to open up to adding on copies of the game at no extra shipping to you. Here is how to do it:
If you are backing at the Commodore level, your pledge is $65CAD + shipping. If you would like to back for another copy of the game and save on shipping, add the cost of another game to your pledge. If you want to back for 1 more game add $65 to your pledge, 2 more games add $130 to your pledge, 3 more games add $195 to your pledge, 4 more games add $260 to your pledge, and so on. To do that, be sure that you are logged into Kickstarter, hit manage my pledge on the Endeavor: Age of Sail KS page, and take it from there.
With incredible gratitude,

Ahoy Backers!
We have made a big leap in a day and a half. We are over 200% funded!! We have earned a Score Pad, a stunning 3D sculpted 1st Player Marker, a Pirate Ship mini (for Commodore backers only), of course the Saltpeter Stockpiles, Globalisation, and Letters of Marque Exploits are for all pledge levels (including the Lieutenant Pledge Level). AND we made it to the 6 Cannon minis for the Commodore backers only. This is incredible!! Take a look ...
What's Next?
Next up we are working toward beautiful wooden keys that mark the unlocking of Exploits. We are also looking toward 3 incredibly fascinating Exploits. Jesuit Missionaries, Haitian Revolution, and Manila Galleons are for all pledge levels (including the Lieutenant Pledge Level); they are going to make your playing experience so much richer!
Some Great News
You might have noticed that we have added Tom Heath's Playthrough and First Impressions of the game to the campaign page. If you haven't seen it yet, here it is ...
And, if he hasn't done enough for us already, Eduardo Baraf has highlighted Endeavor: Age of Sail in his monthly digest. Have a look ...

Apologies backers!! We try to do as much as we can to switch between CAD and USD to make it simple for everyone to understand. In my excitement about the update, I told you that you should add $65CAD for the Commodore level which has lead to some confusion.
The price for the Commodore add-ons is $80CAD which is $65USD.
So sorry about that. Thanks for your patience and thanks to those who pointed it out to me!
