Veteran Pledge Level

The Jack ($45/£34) pledge level is perfect for players looking to get the essential items to upgrade their collection for 2nd Edition, but it's Striker ($100/£75) where new players and collectors should be heading. It currently includes two £18 teams, a new pitch, all the exclusives PLUS every stretch goal, with a third team up next.

Goal: 1750 Backers or more

Elmer and Dobs, our infamous commentary team that also doubles as a events card holder is a Kickstarter Exclusives that's included free in Striker ($100/£75) when we get 1750 backers to the campaign.

If you support it now you will count towards the backer number and help unlock this cool freebie!

Points (Backers?) make prizes

Please help us spread the word about the Kickstarter and raise that backer count - there's bonus Yndij for Striker backers if we break 1500 backers.

The All-Seeing Eye

The characterful Eye in the Sky is part of the plastic counter set included in the Jack ($45/£34*) pledge and up.

Often the add-ons are just as exciting as the pledge levels. Here's our pick of the bunch!

Welcome to the Jungle

Azure Forest gets 2nd Edition rules and an upgraded, deluxe rubber Forest pitch to provide you with a high quality alternate playing surface for your DreadBall games.

In a league of its own

Containing 3 DreadBall pitches, 3 counter sets, 3 RefBots, a whole bag of balls and 3 card decks, adding this set onto Striker gives you enough bits for an 8 person league! Oh, and it's this price for the Kickstarter only.

Ultimate DreadBall

With a new shape and new artwork (don't worry, you can still use the new Ultimate rules with your old pitch), we've got a brand new Deluxe Ultimate Gaming Pitch too.

Shake it off!

Let's face it, we're all addicted to dice. Especially dice with custom logos. But when those custom dice come with unique DreadBall Dice Shakers and a Dice Bag then it's just very hard to resist!
