Who is Queen Umbra , Master of Cat-kens?
[Stretch Goal Expansion Card]
Long ago, the kingdom of cats was ruled by two queens—Queen Aurelia, the Radiant, and Queen Umbra, the Veiled Shadow. While Aurelia led with wisdom and grace, Umbra harbored a deep, unshakable ambition. She sought to harness the power of the Cat-kens, the enigmatic and fearsome creatures lurking in the depths of the realm.
As her obsession grew, Queen Umbra vanished into the darkness, forging an unholy pact with the Cat-kens. In time, she returned—not as a ruler, but as a relentless specter, shadowing Queen Aurelia’s every move. She no longer sought to rule the kingdom; she sought to consume it.
Now, as you build the kingdom of Cat’s Gambit, Queen Umbra emerges once more, an ever-present threat in the puzzle. She cannot be reasoned with—she can only be confronted. You must strike her down twice before the final battle ends, or her lingering presence will drain Queen Aurelia’s strength, leaving her powerless against the Cat-kens.
The fate of the kingdom rests in your hands. Will you banish the shadow, or will Queen Aurelia succumb to the darkness?

How to Play: Queen Umbra, Master of Cat-kens
After three cards have been played to the puzzle, place Queen Umbra one orthogonal space away from Queen Aurelia (do not move the placement token). The game continues as normal, but now Queen Umbra is in play as a constant threat.
Checking Queen Umbra
Before the game ends, you must check Queen Umbra twice using a bishop, knight, or rook. To check Queen Umbra, move one of these pieces onto her space. Each time she is checked, move the attacking card onto Queen Umbra’s space along with the placement token. Once Queen Umbra has been checked twice, she is removed from the game.
Endgame & Queen Aurelia’s Fate
If Queen Aurelia survives the Cat-ken attacks, the game ends as normal. However, if Queen Umbra is still present in the puzzle when the game ends, Queen Aurelia suffers a severe penalty:
If Queen Aurelia has 5 points, she is reduced to 1 point. If she already has 1 point, you lose the game.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
