Hello, Magisters!
As promised here is the video of Marco Montanaro's live dealing with the Wave 2 unboxing!
Having used Facebook for the live, we had to convert the video and it was not possible for us to immediately publish it here on KS, now all of you can enjoy it and feast your eyes with the most amazing SG's box in KS history ... ok, it won't be the most beautiful to see but it is certainly the richest and we do not fear comparisons on the quantity and quality of its contents!
But we can stop chatting and we let to talk the video! (you can skip the first 3 minutes)
Before saying goodbye we give you the ETAs of the ships for EU, ROW, and OCEANIA, unfortunately for a communication problem they have not yet provided us with the names of the ships right now. We will provide the Ships name to you as soon as we receive them:
EU / ROW - Expected arrival in Hamburg on 27 October 2020
OCEANIA - Expected arrival in Sydney on 4 October 2020
See you soon with new updates!

Hello, Magisters!
A few minutes ago the Great Magister Marco Montanaro finished a fantastic live broadcast where he performed the first unboxing in the history of BRW Wave 2!
Click on the photo below and you will be able to watch the whole broadcast and be amazed by the wonders that are about to arrive at your home!
And speaking about receiving wave 2, I inform you that the ships for Europe and Oceania will leave Ningbo on Tuesday 15th September!
We are waiting for the confirmation of the ship names and the ETA for arrival in the 2 zones (remember that orders for ROW are always handled by Europe), for Asia, VFI will deliver without the need for ships and it is therefore likely that the Asian backers who join the Call to Arms will be the firsts to see the Sator Box live!
In the next few days, we will inform you about the name of the ships and the ETA for the moment enjoy the video, but be careful! Your jaw may touch the floor when you see the stuff we have prepared for you!
Fireball!
Shipping update
over 3 years ago
– Mon, Aug 24, 2020 at 12:01:40 PM
Hello, Magisters
A quick update on the start of Wave 2 shipments!
The order for shipping to North America and Canada is ready for boarding and the first available ship has been booked, it is the MSC DAMLA (currently en route to Busan) which will depart for the end of August from Ningbo and will arrive in Miami on October 7th. From there the 93 pallets will be transferred to the Quartermaster Logistic HUB where the last phase of the Fulfillment will begin, starting with the shipments of the backers who participated in the Call to Arms.
Shipments for Europe, Oceania, and ROW are being completed and we are booking the ships in order to be ready once the factory has given us the green light.
Unfortunately, the situation of sea freight from China is more complicated than normal due to Covid-19 and the traffic has been greatly reduced, so even if the cargo is ready, it may take a few days before the ship takes off (such as in fact it happened for the MSC DAMLA) and we can proceed with the booking of the ship only once a definitive ETA is communicated from the factory.
Shipments to Asia will be handled by VFI Asia and Enjoy Games, do not require sea freight, and will begin as soon as the factory has finished packing procedures.
In the next two days, we will provide the Lock Address of your orders, then you will receive an email from BackerKit that will notify you of the last possibility for the change of address, later it will still be possible to change the address but you will have to contact us directly using the usual contact:
You can use this contact even if you still want to participate in the Call to Arms, to help us with the shipping costs and have priority for shipping in the final phase of fulfillment.
In the next few days, further updates will follow to give you the final data of the shipments as we receive the various confirmations. To manage this delicate phase and avoid further "false alarms", we will publish the Updates only when we have certain confirmations by giving you definitive data, as in the case of shipping to the USA and Canada.
As always, we thank you for your support and patience!
Fireball!
Step by step towards the finish line!

Hello, Magisters!
As promised today we will update you on the state of production of wave 2!
They give us good news from the factory, production is practically finished and the last quality control is being finalized before final packaging for the shipment.
The packing and the preparation of the boxes before the boarding on the ships will be carried out during the month of August and we asked that the preparation be staggered so as to allow the ships bound for Europe and the USA to leave first as they will have to face the longest journey.
Unfortunately, the factory has not yet fully resumed all its activities in this post-COVID 19 period in China (I'm not even sure that it is right to use the term "post" for China) and this last phase will take a little longer than to what we had estimated; then the first boxes will be ready for boarding around 15/20 August. We hoped we could accelerate this last step before the second half of August but the production needs do not allow us to make more optimistic estimates at the moment.
As the title suggests, very few steps to the final goal are now missing, it's about having another pinch of patience and letting the last steps of this long journey take their natural course. As I already told you in the last updates, we preferred to give the factory all the time necessary to complete the production in the best way rather than rushing and running the risk of having problems later.
That's all for now, in the next update I hope to have some photos of the boxes packed and ready to go, but in the meantime, as promised by following this link you can download a preview of all Asymmetric Mages to start tasting another bit of wave 2!
Let us know what you think about them if you start playing with them and what your Tier will be!
Fireball!
The END is near!

Hello Magister!
July has arrived and all of you (and us) are eagerly waiting for wave 2, so in this update, I will inform you about the production status and as promised I will show you the rules of the Summoner Wars mini-expansion that you will find inside Inferno!
Let's start!
Wave 2 Production
As the title of this update suggests, we are very close to the end of the workings of wave 2!
From the factory, they tell us that within 2 weeks the boxes will be ready for shipment. There are no complications or problems with Production but simply the processing times for the quantity of material of the Wave 2 are these, and we must give the factory time to finish the job in the best way.
We asked the factory for much tighter quality control to avoid having a number of "failed" boxes as happened for wave 1. After all this waiting it would be a shame to ruin everything, sending too many failed boxes around the world, and that's why we decided to give priority to the final quality, rather than save a few days on shipments.
Summing up, as I said we are in the final stages and now it's just a matter of holding on together! If the boxes are ready for the end of July, considering the ship trip (which we have already started planning), the completion of the fulfillment from the hubs in the various areas should begin by the end of August starting from the backers who participated in the Call to Arms and continuing with everyone else.
About the Call to Arms, I remind you that itsparticipation is optional, and not participating will not result in the loss of your pledge, simply to thank the backers who are helping us, we will give them priority in the final shipments. But everyone else will receive everything as expected!
If you have not yet participated in the Call to Arms but want to do it, you can write to me here and I will show you the steps to follow:
I conclude this first part of the update by informing you that given the delivery times, probably our new project "Nova Aetas Renaissance", initially scheduled for the end of August (depending on the delivery of the BRW wave 2), will be postponed to September when the Fulfillment wave 2 will already be well underway.
And now...
Summoner Wars!
Ever since we presented this mini-expansion it has aroused a lot of curiosity and the time has come to take a closer look!
This new mode will allow you to mix the core game with Inferno giving life to very different games from the "normal" ones. In a game of Summoner Wars, the Evocations will have an even more important role, in fact, it will be much easier to Summon them and the Mages will be able to activate them more often!
When preparing a game of Summoner Wars you will have to replace 11 Rooms Activation tokens with the new 11 Activation tokens that you will find inside Inferno and be ready for a furious fight between Evocations. The new effects of the Rooms will change significantly from the original ones, for example, the Sanctuary will allow you to evoke an Evocation of your choice from those available, Or the Garden will make you place an Instability in each room where there is an Undead or a Demon controlled by you.
11 new Room Activation token are awaiting you int Summoner Wars!
As you can imagine the interactions between the Spells and these new effects, will increase considerably and you will be forced to think about new and unexpected strategies!
But beyond that, Summoner Wars will provide you with two new optional rules which we show you below!
Warning! Only for Expert Magisters!
Chaos Rooms will give the player great power with the Crown, allowing him to trade the Activation tokens of the rooms as he wishes ... one more reason to try to gain control of the Crown!
Prodigious Summoners, on the other hand, will make you activate your Evocations much more often and if your deck is made up of cards from certain schools (Demonology, Necromancy or Elementalism for example) you can show all your mastery in the control of Evocations and unleash a real pandemonium in the Lodge!
What do you think? Are you ready for a real Evocations Royal Rumble? Well, you can find out even before the arrival of wave 2!
In fact, I announce with pleasure that following this link you will find all the Rulebooks (in all languages) of the Sator Box and Inferno, and with the pdf of the latter, a little fantasy and some proxies you can try this mode from now! Have fun and let us know what you think about it!
For today it's all guys! See you in a couple of weeks for a new update and on the message board as usual for your comments!
