I had been making board games all my life, but this was my first attempt at bringing a real product to life. BattleCON: War was the culmination of years of development, as well as the beginning of something far bigger than I could have imagined at the time. BattleCON has come to life and flourished through the many fans who joined us on that first Kickstarter project and who have joined us in the years since. I consider it asuccess, not because it’s been a commercial blockbuster, but because it is a game that people have embraced and enjoyed. It’s a game that becomes a part of the people who play it. I consider BattleCON a success because it has made people happy. Now, in 2014, we have the opportunity to make a brand new edition of BattleCON: War that encompasses everything we've learned about delivering quality and style, This new edition is true to the original, but also involves new artistic talents and more rigorous testing and balancing. I hope that whether you are opening BattleCON for the first time, or a seasoned veteran revisiting the past, that this game will bring you limitless hours of excitement and fun with your friends and family. Thank you for your support, and Happy Gaming, pp yo ae - D. Brad Talton Jr
