<h1 id="h:how-to-play-spirecre" class="page-anchor">How to Play - Spirecrest</h1>
<p>This expansion introduces an uncharted and mysterious new area of Everdell to explore: the Spirecrest Mountains!</p>
<p><span class="bold">Setup</span></p>
<p>During setup, the Mountain board will be placed on the lower side of the main board. Three decks of Discovery cards are shuffled and stacked facedown on the distinct areas of the board: Foothills, Peaks, and Ridge. Map tiles are also shuffled and randomly placed in each of the areas. Finally, one Weather card for each season is randomly placed on the board as well. Every player will place their Rabbit Traveler meeple at the beginning of the path, and then you are ready for adventure!</p>
<p><span class="bold">Gameplay</span></p>
<p>Each season, players will have a challenging Weather card they must consider as they make their plans and build their cities. Each player is affected by the specific weather of the season they are in, and the weather for the coming seasons is a secret until someone Prepares for Season and moves forward to reveal it!</p>

</div>
<p>At the end of Preparing for Season, players will claim one of the map tiles on the path before them. Three of these map tiles will be collected in total over the course of the game, creating an Expedition that you may send your Traveler on at the very end of the game. Players will have to carefully pack their supplies in order to complete their Expedition, potentially scoring a substantial amount of points for doing so.</p>

</figure>
</div>
<p>After claiming a map tile, players will draw the top three Discovery cards of the area they are exploring, then place these cards faceup along the bottom of the Mountain board. These unique cards represent exciting discoveries you have made along your journeys. You may find a trail to explore, one of the friendly mountain folk to assist you in your journeys, or perhaps even one of the fabled Big Critters that your worker can ride on! You will get to keep only one of these cards from each of the three areas you explore, so you must choose wisely!</p>

<p><span class="bold">5-6 players</span></p>
<p>Many people have requested that we add official support for 5 players, and we’ve gone beyond that to include rules for up to 6 players. By utilizing a clever Market system and a specific rule of removing one of the workers each player obtains, the game time for these higher player counts is close to what a standard 4-player game would be.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Bellfaire Board</span></p>
<p>The Bellfaire board connects to the upper half of the main board, and may be used as an alternative to the 3D Ever Tree, which is helpful for higher player counts. This board also adds optional new gameplay elements, including a revolving Market location, and endgame Garland awards.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Player Boards</span></p>
<p>There are six unique and beautifully illustrated player boards that can be used to hold resources, meeples, and point tokens. Each board shows a different corner of the world of Everdell—there's a suitable home for any and all critters! Choose your favorite!</p>

<p>"I’m absolutely crazy about the added engine building that <span class="text-italic">Spirecraft</span> adds to <span class="text-italic">Everdell, </span>and the <span class="text-italic">Bellfaire</span> modules (especially the asymmetric critter powers) add marvelous variability and fun ways to mix up the game... This is an hour one backing for me.” — Tim, playtester</p>
<p>"The <span class="text-italic">Spirecrest</span> expansion adds a new level of excitement and adventure to the amazing world of <span class="text-italic">Everdell. Spirecrest </span>takes the great game of <span class="text-italic">Everdell</span> to new heights." — Karl, playtester</p>
<p>"<span class="text-italic">Spirecrest</span> is not for the faint of heart. It is challenging and so thematic and immersive that you feel invested in your little critters." —Alex, playtester</p>
<p>"<span class="text-italic">Bellfaire</span> preserves its unique theme and introduces a trading mechanism done right." —Amy, playtester</p>

<p>Not sure where your country fits in? Just send us a message and ask! For the purposes of determining your shipping costs, backers in Norway and Switzerland will use the EU costs, and backers in Hong Kong will use the Asia costs. </p>
<p>We highly recommend forming a group pledge with friends or your local gaming group to save on shipping costs! Shipping for multiple copies will be charged in the PledgeManager.</p>
<h1 id="h:tax-and-customs" class="page-anchor"><span class="bold">Tax & Customs</span></h1>
<p>After this campaign ends, you may be charged additional taxes or customs fees based on your region. What's the reason for this? Unfortunately, due to crackdowns against tax fraud, many countries are implementing stricter foreign customs laws.</p>
<p>Here in the US, we have new laws regarding sales tax due to South Dakota v. Wayfair. To read more about that case, <a href="https://www.avalara.com/us/en/learn/sales-tax/south-dakota-wayfair.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click here.</a></p>
<p>We are registered to collect VAT in the UK and Germany, so we charge VAT based on these countries where we have nexus. If you're interested in more details on VAT collection, here's a handy FAQ and some more detailed articles from the agency that handles our reporting, SimplyVAT: <a href="https://www.simplyvat.com/frequently-asked-questions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FAQs</a> and <a href="https://www.simplyvat.com/vat-essentials-resources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Essential Resources</a>.</p>
<p>Read on below to hear how your region may be affected.</p>
<p><span class="bold">United States</span></p>
<p>Backers in the United States will be charged state sales tax. This tax will be charged in the pledge manager after the campaign. Some states charge tax on shipping as well as the product itself.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Canada</span></p>
<p>Canadian backers will be charged a 5% tax due to HST, and may receive an additional tax depending on your secondary tax range which varies by province. This tax will be charged in the pledge manager after the campaign. The tax is charged on the total purchase price, including shipping. Shipping and HST will be charged separately for the purposes of customs reporting so you are not double-billed for HST.</p>
<p><span class="bold">European Union</span> <span class="bold">(including UK)</span></p>
<p>EU backers will be charged VAT, which is 19-20% depending on your country. This tax will be charged in the pledge manager after the campaign. The tax is charged on the total purchase price, including shipping. Shipping and VAT will be charged separately for the purposes of customs reporting so you are not double-billed for VAT.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Australia</span></p>
<p>Australian backers will be charged a flat 10% tax rate due to GST. This tax will be charged in the pledge manager after the campaign. The tax is charged on the total purchase price, including shipping. Shipping and GST will be charged separately for the purposes of customs reporting so you are not double-billed for GST.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Below are the tax rates that we will be collecting, broken down by country, state, and province:</span></p>

<p>As tax rates are often in flux, your final tax rate may have changed slightly by the time the pledge manager launches, but these should be very close estimates.</p>
<p><span class="bold">FAQs</span></p>
<p><span class="bold">I backed a previous Starling Games campaign and you didn't do this, why are you doing it now?</span></p>
<p>These changes are due to new laws and restrictions that have been implemented for 2019.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Are you making any extra money on these taxes?</span></p>
<p>Absolutely not. We are charging you only what your local government is charging us to get your games to you.</p>
<p><span class="bold">How do I know you have the right information?</span></p>
<p>We've spent months researching what these changes would mean for us as a company and for you as our customers. We've gone to great lengths to consult numerous tax professionals and agencies, both in the US and abroad, to ensure that we are customs compliant.</p>
<p><span class="bold">I just backed another campaign and I didn't have to do this, what gives?</span></p>
<p>The truth is they may be committing tax/customs fraud (probably unknowingly), and we really don't want to do that! Not only is it illegal but we'd also risk getting our shipments seized, which means no one gets their games.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Will I have to pay additional fees to receive my package?</span></p>
<p>If you live in one of the regions above, no you won't, since you're essentially pre-paying those fees. If you're outside the regions listed above, then you may owe additional taxes depending on your region.</p>

Replacement requests must be made within 30 days of the date the item was delivered to you. For replacement requests, please go to www.starling.games/replacements.
Refunds
If you'd like a refund before your item ships, you have until one week before the scheduled ship date to request one.
