At long last!
We've opened pre-orders for those who missed the campaign- you can find them here:
https://rosenstrasse.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
You can pre-order physical and digital versions of the game, donate a copy, and order copies of War Birds. Backers who pledged during the campaign will be able to add these items to their orders when we send out surveys later in the year, so if you backed the campaign you don't need to pre-order!
XOXO Festival
Rosenstrasse will be featured at XOXO Festival in Portland, Oregon September 5-8th in the Tabletop category!

Shipping
Unfortunately shipping will end up costing more than we anticipated. We are bummed that the estimates we gave you were wrong and we've subsidized some of the higher costs with funds from the campaign in order to keep your costs as low as possible. We thought our original estimates were very realistic, and are very sorry about that.
Right now, the estimates for shipping one box set are: US $15, Canada $18, International $22.
Shipping will be calculated based on weight in Backerkit, so if you order an additional box set or a copy of War Birds, shipping costs won't double. We apologize for the increase in shipping- if you have any questions or comments please contact us via email at [email protected].
July is here, and we need some info from you!

Progress Update: Early June

Hello wonderful backers!
We wanted to update you with what we’ve been working on for the last few weeks.
First, we’ve been smoothing and finalizing the game text. We got great feedback from our last series of playtests, including places where facilitators need extra support. For example, new facilitators sometimes need help cutting scenes. We’ve chosen three easy-to-use techniques to add to the facilitator instructions section, tested them, and now we’re writing them up. We’re also chasing down typos, timeline inconsistencies, and all the other details that will make the game truly polished!
Second, we’ve been working with our fabulous designer Robin Scott to update the layout of the book. While our Festival Edition was beautiful, we’ve decided to bring our layout into line with the previous War Birds book. We’ve also rethought how we divide text between the book and the card deck to maximize usability. Based on these changes, Robin has created some sample pages for us, and they’re amazing! After our next round of revisions with Robin, we’ll be able to share those with you as a teaser for what the book will look like.
Finally, we’ve been continuing to write and speak about the game. We have an essay coming out in the “Bodies” issue of the American Jewish Society Perspectives magazine, which talks about analog role-playing as a type of embodied learning for Jewish studies. We’ve also submitted a journal paper on our design techniques for dealing with sensitive historical material. Wish us luck!
Thanks again for your support, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next!
All our best,
Jess and Mo

Hi All!
It's been a few weeks, and we are working on our final round of design before we head into edits. We've received the Kickstarter funds and despite a few dropped/declined backers, we are still happily funded and proceeding with the game.
We'll be working on setting up pre-orders in Backerkit next, and then surveys- you'll be able to add copies of War Birds (both softcover and hardcover, as well as the patch!) as add-ons to your shipment. Backerkit will be where we collect your shipping address and fee for shipping physical rewards, as well as how we'll distribute digital rewards- we'll have an update later explaining everything you need to know!
Thank you for your support of our project- we are so thrilled to be able to produce Rosenstrasse for a wider audience and we couldn't do that without you!
Love from Jess, Mo & the whole team.
We have crossed the finish line!

We have come to the end of the campaign and are so excited to have funded the print run and to have met two stretch goals - including the two-player, two-hour version of the game which funded with only an hour to spare.
Tonight I just want to make a quick post to say thank you to all of you for your support!
Jess and I will be posting in the next few days to share the next steps of the project and share our gratitude and reflections about the campaign.
Thank you for making resistance possible!
Love from Jess, Mo & the whole team.
