705% funded - final stretch goal unlocked - Custom Dice

Thanks to all of you - Plague Inc: The Board Game has smashed every funding target in its path - we are now over 700% funded. The infection rate is still climbing and we have 2 days left!!
I'm incredibly excited to announce that our final stretch goal has now been unlocked - a major component update which replaces the standard Death Dice (die :P) with a custom model. This is a stretch goal that has been requested by a huge number of backers so it is great to be able to add it in.
One thing to note - we do not have a final design for the custom dice so this goal is still conditional on us finding something that looks great whilst also supporting gameplay (i.e. it mustn't be hard to read - or cause confusion with another aspect of the game). We will keep backers posted on how things go (currently we are thinking skulls!)

670% funded - the infection is still spreading! Everyone say hello to Kazakhstan (and get ready to evolve Cold Resistance)
1 new Country Card - Kazakhstan (Cold climate, Asia connected). Another country to potentially infect! This expand the pool of available countries - increasing replayability
We are now in the last few days of the kickstarter so if you have friends who are still wanting to back the game - remind them now!
Update - Language / Localisation options for Plague Inc: The Board Game
over 9 years ago
– Sat, May 28, 2016 at 09:39:02 AM
Currently - Plague Inc: The Board Game is only available in English and one of the questions we have been asking backers is what other languages they would like to see the game translated in by completing this survey.
The top 4 languages to get the game translated into currently are German (29%), French (20%), Korean (16%) and Spanish (10%).
We are not able to get the current Kickstarter version of the game translated but we are investigating options to get the game translated as soon as possible afterwards. Will share more information as soon as we can.
All backers of the Kickstarter will receive the English version of the game. (we will share a digital version of the rulebook with you if it is translated in the future)
New Survey - Updated Event Cards wording

Hey Plague People
Nearly there with the Single Player mode stretch goal! In the mean time - thank you to the 500+ people who responded to the original Event Card poll!
We got a lot of great feedback and have made a number of changes to the text to make things clearer. Changes range from minor punctuation / capitalisation tweaks through to full rewording of Divine Intervention and changing how we use the word 'each'
You can see all of the event cards and their wording here. Please take a look at them and let me know via the form how you find them / if you think anything needs to be tweaked.
Quite a few questions were also raised about who "token" refers to. Please make sure you read the information in the heading of the poll and refer to it as this will be a part of the rulebook.
Thanks again for all your help, 1 week to go!

Hey Plague Backers - I hope you are all having good weekends!
Thanks to your help - we are now 550% funded and almost into the final week of the campaign - if you know someone who might want Plague Inc: The Board Game - then infect them now! You can also add a second copy of the game to your pledge if you want - information here
Another stretch goal has been unlocked:
Companion App upgrade - Ambiance module: This optional part of the App provides a random name generator in case you need inspiration for what to name your plague as well as customisable sound effects and music so that you can play the game accompanied by the sound of people coughing, rioting and singing Ring around the Roses! It also has a load of imagery of cities around the world slowly succumbing to the plague.
The next stretch goal is a big one btw - a new single player game mode!
Stay healthy
James
