Hey Alex, great unboxing video! Teburu+TBK developer here. I'm happy to reply to some of your questions: 1. Yes, your copy is from first production run, so it is missing a few final details such as the internal leaflet featuring a large and clear QRcode to download the game app for free. 2. There’s truly no rulebook :-) One of the major benefits of the Teburu system is that the game App teaches you while playing, including a complete onboarding and tutorial. 3. There are 12 official Zodiac signs, with the Zodiac bosses divided into the 3 Volumes: 4 in Vol1/the Core Box (black box), 4 in Vol2 (grey box), and 4 in Vol3 (red box). However, those more familiar with the topic may know that a 13th zodiac sign exists: Ophiucus. This forgotten and mysterious Zodiac is a gift of thanks to all our crowdfunding backers. That’s why we added it to the Core Box as a further (5th) boss to challenge for even those who only backed the Core Pledge. 4. There are 4 Maps each in Vol2 and Vol3, one distinct map per Zodiac, each featuring unique battlefield conditions and mechanics based on the visual elements printed on the map, such as lava, water, and other surprises to be discovered by exploration. 6 maps are then included in the Core box: 4 + 1 for Ophiucus' own scenario and 1 for the Survival mode where our heroes will challenge all the Zodiacs, one after the other, in a single relentless battle. 5. The Big Box… is truly big, but we designed and engineered it to fit a Kallax compartment! Try it at home! Seeing is believing ;-P
I think the first shipments, were a part of the 50 something or so preview copies. So yours may have been merged by them. This is such a complex storage (but once it's done it makes sense)
I live in Brazil and I backed all in for this. When the time came for shipping, they realized it would be MUCH more expenseive than they realized and they gave me a full refund. Even though I'm frustrated because I was very excited for this, I'm also glad that the company took this approach without creating any kind of barriers for the refund. I'm looking forward for the reviews to start showing up. I'm hoping this thing works well and it getws sucessfull, because I still want to buy me one AND I do believe this is the next step in boardgaming, at least when thinking about app based board games. I love Mansions of Madness, Destinies and all those games that uses an App to work ass a game master, but I always thought they were not very good because the "game master" didn't know where the players were and so their actions were nothing more than a bunch of random events. With Teburu, it seems this issue is solved and this can open up a ton of new ways of playing and I can't wait to see it. But first, this hardware have to work well and be accepted by the community. Fingers crossed here.
I got this game as well on Kickstarter, but still I don't know what to look forward to. Is it just a brawler boardgame? Move 2 spaces forward and attack every turn or are there more interesting mechanics happening? I'm curious how deep the system can be coded.
@BoardGameCo, Alex, anyway you can show us how to connect the game for the first time? I sadly just opened up mine today from having it delivered, and I cannot start the tutorial mission at all because my system doesn’t seem to detect the lead ring for the zodiac miniature. It’s very possible. I’m not following the instructions correctly, but I seem to be doing exactly what the picture shows so I don’t know what on earth I’m doing wrong and I haven’t been able to get beyond this for some reason
You do bring a good point about the console having its own box you can go to. Since it will be used to play different games. I dont want to have to keep opening my Curse of the Zodiac to play VtM: Milan Rising.
I don't like to be negative about people's sincere endeavours, but this seems a needlessly laborious affair. I think board game people love the non-tech part of the hobby. Why not play video games if you go to these lengths?

there was the final boss which was a kickstarter goal.
From what I understand, one boss is bonus.
Great thanks

"...and all postal couriers' backs suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."
Lol
There's no wrap b/c the first 50 were tested so they opened it all first.
You do bring a good point about the console having its own box you can go to. Since it will be used to play different games. I dont want to have to keep opening my Curse of the Zodiac to play VtM: Milan Rising.
That was an addon you could buy. A storage box for teburu itself
@@boardgameaddict4262 yeah, went back and just seeing that now. Too bad it's not an option for the VtM: Milan Rising campaign.
I just bought 2 boards lol. So I don’t have to swap between games they have one each

Cause this board game serves major kount
