Double Ace might get even better, as the stretch goals to $595,000 have been announced.

Those stretch goals kick in starting at $580,000 for an additional car to Miniatures Set 1. Then go up the set numbers and every $5000, another set gets a car. So, by $595,000 in backing, all 4 miniatures sets have 5 cars. Combine with the 10 cars in the base game and that's potentially 30 cars.

The only way to get all the cards is to get all the miniatures sets and buy the cards outside the core game or do the Double Ace set and buy Miniatures Set 2 and Miniatures Set 4.

At $140+$40+$40 you get a ton of stuff for a Double Ace pledge and 2 miniatures set. For $230 U.S., you're getting a lot. Throw in a little more for Uncle Al's, as it's available as an add-on. If you don't want the playmats, they would be a good gift to a Car Wars fan or a good trade for someone who wants a pretty mat for another game in 1/64 scale, which is close to that for fantasy figures that are 28mm.

Steve Jackson Games put the UK shipping estimates in the Kickstarter FAQ and will be shipping to the UK directly after packaging in the U.S.

Looks like the $140 pledge has $50 in estimated shipping, and comparable pledges are the same. That $400 pledge level was for a bunch of Car Wars Pocket Boxes, which 20 boxes adds a lot of weight.

At the $75 level, you miss out on a lot of cards.

There are several backer sheets to help you figure out the best bang for your Car Wars bucks. Below is Karl's sheet, which is easy to see the rewards on and has been active for most of the campaign. Karl linked other sheets in the body of his sheet in case another comparison works for you.

Summary: $140 pledge plus Uncle Al's plus the Miniatures Set 2 and 4 is a great pledge.
