Ready Set Bet High Roller Edition from AEG

Launching Into the Fun Factory
7 months ago – Tue, Aug 26, 2025 at 09:08:54 AM

Ready Set Bet High Rollers! 

We hope you’re enjoying Ready Set Bet: High Roller. It’s quickly become one of our most popular titles.

Now we’re excited to share that the brand-new Ready Set Bet Let It Ride Expansion is available as part of our Fun Factory Kickstarter. We’ve made a version of this expansion just for High Rollers, with upgraded components to match the High Roller experience! There’s a retail version too for people living life outside the Club Level. This campaign is our biggest celebration yet, packed with expansions for many of your favorite AEG titles, and introducing an entirely new game from designer Kasper Lapp: Into the Machine.

While Into the Machine isn’t about horses, dice, or betting slips, it delivers that same electric sense of tension you know from Ready Set Bet. In this game, your robots race after work, upgrading and tagging in to keep the momentum alive. It’s a worker placement, engine-building relay race that feels completely fresh while scratching that itch for excitement and clever play.

We know you’re a High Roller, but we also expect you love a deal. Here’s the twist: the more items you put into your cart during the Fun Factory campaign, the lower the price of Into the Machine becomes. With the right combination, you can even get it for free. It’s like finding the perfect long shot at the track, when it pays off, it feels incredible.

So if you’ve enjoyed the highs of High Roller, you won’t want to miss the chance to take that thrill to the Fun Factory. Place your bets, and see what deal you can make.

Today we’re launching our newest crowdfunding campaign for a new game, Misfit Heroes, designed by Phil Walker Harding (designer of Sush-Go!, Imhotep, Gizmos, Cities and many more classics!). Misfit Heroes is a tableau engine building game where you combine a transparent Character card with a cardstock Attribute card to make a deck of over 6k possible card combinations!

We’re featuring two Rewards in this campaign, the base game which will be available in retail stores in 2026, and the Maximum Absurdity Reward that deluxifies the game with great accessories and component upgrades.

We hope you’ll visit the Misfit Heroes campaign today and back us on Day One!

Fulfillment is Underway!
about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 10, 2025 at 10:06:50 AM

The current known status of Fulfillment for each Depot is:

• ASIA: Fulfillment complete in China, pending elsewhere
• AUS/NZ: Depot has notified us they will not begin fulfillment until the end of February
• Canada: Fulfillment complete
• EU: Fulfillment complete
• US: Fulfillment underway
• UK: Received, fulfillment pending

Each Depot has a process for receiving deliveries and prepping for fulfillment. They have already had the manifest data transmitted to them and are ready to process orders as soon as they have completed the receiving procedures. We’ve told each Depot to commence fulfillment as soon as they are able so shipments will begin to be received by different regions at different times.

Depending on the volume of work at the Depots it can take just a few days or sometimes up to a few weeks to process the orders. Because we have no visibility on the sequence of order shipments we cannot tell you if you order has shipped or not. It is not uncommon for orders going to the same city or county to be received at widely different times – because someone in your neighborhood has received their order and you have not does not indicate a problem.

When fulfillment is complete at each Depot we receive a final tracking report that we upload to BackerKit and we can then begin to fix any lost or stolen shipments.

"Fulfillment complete" means the Depot has shipped all the orders. Expect 7-10 business days for an order to arrive from the date it is shipped.

We’ll announce completion on a Depot by Depot basis on alderac.com/kickstarter and in the Comments on the campaign.

The Magnificent 7

If you qualified to receive the Magnificent 7 horse it will be included in your order and will appear on the manifest that comes with your order package.

If the Magnificent 7 is on your order manifest paperwork but not in your shipment please contact us by submitting a request via the customer service form.

If you do not receive the Magnificent 7 and it is not on your manifest then you did not qualify to receive it for free. To qualify you had to be a subscriber to our Newsletter list as of the close of the campaign on Kickstarter. It is possible that you are receiving email from us due to your participation in previous Kickstarters but were not a subscriber to the newsletter.

To receive future Newsletter Promotional items please subscribe:

alderac.com/newsletter

If, after fulfillment is complete, we have any remaining inventory of the Magnificent 7 we'll make them available for sale on our online store (alderacstore.com). We'll announce that availability through the newsletter. Our store currently ships to the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and select countries in Asia. We do not currently ship to the EU or the UK.

Thanks to all who all who backed this campaign!
