Now that Legends of the Arena has successfully funded (and unlocked every stretch goal 🎉), I wanted to share how updates will work moving forward!

I’ll be sending one Kickstarter update near the end of each month and one email newsletter in the middle of each month.

• Kickstarter updates will focus on detailed development and production progress for Legends of the Arena.
• Updates like this one will cover news, convention appearances, and general updates from Toth Games.

That said, our top priority right now is delivering Legends of the Arena, so you can expect to hear plenty about it in both places - especially when we reach big milestones. And for those who missed the campaign, late pledges are still available on Kickstarter!

Having just finished our Kickstarter campaign, I want to share some useful tips I’ve learned along the way. The first one is a list of all the places I’ve found that track upcoming Kickstarter campaigns for boardgames. I hope this will help out folks who are working to get their project some coverage, but aren’t sure where to start. Once you have your launch date set and prelaunch page available, post to these places:

We’ve entered the final 36 hours of the Legends of the Arena Kickstarter! If you’ve been waiting to back, now’s the time; we’ve unlocked exciting stretch goals & shipping is even cheaper.

Shipping Just Got Better 🌍

We’ve partnered with a new fulfillment provider to lower costs across all regions (for new and existing backers) and expand coverage to nearly every country. We’re thrilled to bring Legends of the Arena to more players around the world.

The wait is over - Legends of the Arena is now LIVE on Kickstarter! 🎉

After 8 years of design, testing, and battles in the Arena, we’re thrilled to finally share the game with the world. Legends of the Arena is a fast-paced brawling board game for 2–6 players (inspired by Super Smash Bros.) where you choose your Legend, outthink your foes, and knock them out of the Arena!

Why back today?

The Arena is almost open! We’re thrilled to announce that the Legends of the Arena Kickstarter launches August 26. After years of testing, iterating, and battling at conventions, we can’t wait to share the full game with you.

Here’s what happened last month:

🗓 We’re Headed to Kickstarter in August!

🎥 New Video from Shelfside!

Want to learn how to play in under 4 minutes? The team at Shelfside put together a fantastic how-to-play video, based on how we teach the game at conventions.

May has been packed with excitement, and we’re thrilled to share what’s new in the world of Legends of the Arena! Let’s dive in:

🎲 KublaCon Was a Hit!

We had an incredible time at KublaCon, running nonstop demos all weekend long—over 100 games played across 1v1, 2v2, and free-for-all formats! Some players even returned for multiple sessions, and a lucky few walked away with tiny trophies and serious bragging rights.

It’s been a big month behind the scenes, and we’re excited to share some great updates as we ramp up toward our summer Kickstarter!

🎉 The Factory is Working on Reviewer Copies!

We’ve officially sent our files to the printer for our reviewer copies! These preview builds include 6 of the 8 Legends and mark a huge milestone on our road to launch. We’ve lined up most of our review partners, but there are still a few open slots—if there’s a reviewer, streamer, or content creator you’d love to see cover Legends of the Arena, let us know!

March has been a quieter month compared to the excitement of Genesis, but we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes gearing up for our Kickstarter this summer!

Over on Instagram, we’ve been showcasing Hilda’s art and abilities, bringing her dramatic, Arena-shattering presence to life. Next month, we’ll be introducing Sabo, the mysterious ninja whose chain attacks and tactical traps keep foes off balance. Stay tuned!

In April our focus will be getting copies out to reviewers. If you know any board game reviewers who would love to try Legends of the Arena, please send them our way!

Big news this month: You can now play Legends of the Arena! But before we get into that, a quick reminder to follow our Kickstarter campaign here so you don’t miss the launch. Now, let’s dive in!
