The coupons represent the total dollar amount you pledged to the Titan Series. There are two types of coupons: one is a credit strictly for purchasing the offered items, and the other is only applied towards shipping. Think of your store credit coupon as cash and your Free Shipping coupon as stamps. You’ll apply your store credit coupons to the games and add-ons you’d like to receive, and the Free Shipping coupon towards your shipping charges.
Please note: The Calliope Games Kickstarter Store is password protected to secure your coupons (money) and confidential information. Do not share your Username and Password.
WARNING: The Calliope Kickstarter Store will accept the store credit coupon for ALL the items listed in the shop; it does not differentiate between Titan Games and the other Calliope titles. If you decide to purchase Tsuro with your store credit coupon, the store will recognize the purchase as a Titan Game. If you want all 9 Titan Games and want to purchase additional titles you may have to pay additional dollars by credit card at a later date.
Yes. The Calliope Kickstarter Store allows us to better service you by accurately tracking your pledge over the term of the project and provides you ease of access to the products regardless of the number of times you may move during the term. We used the information you provided in your survey to create your specific store credit and Free Shipping coupons for use on the Calliope Kickstarter Store.
Your store credit was calculated by subtracting the associated flat rate shipping charges for your pledge level from your actual pledge amount. The calculation takes into consideration your survey responses for the total number of games you’ve requested over the term of the project.
Actual dollars pledged
– flat rate shipping costs for total games requested in survey
= Credit Coupon dollar amount
The following chart shows the typical flat rate shipping charges for each pledge level:
Demigod – Muse (Single Shipment: 1 game)
US $8
ROW $24
EU Friendly $54
Titans – Mt. Olympus (Years 1 – 3: 9 games)
US $0
ROW $36
EU Friendly $74
Titans – *Mt. Olympus (Years 1 – 4: 12 games)
US $0
ROW $48
EU Friendly $99
*Mt. Olympus is 12 games x 3 for 36 games over 4 shipments to 3 different locations.
Please note, on the submitted surveys many of the shipping charges were calculated incorrectly OR pledge amounts did not include the desired 4th year games. All store credits and Free Shipping coupon amounts take into account the total number of games requested in the submitted survey and the location of where the games are to be shipped. If you live in the EU, we used the EU Friendly shipping charges; outside of the continental US and EU, ROW charges were applied. If you feel your credits were calculated incorrectly, please reach out to us at CustomerService@CalliopeGames.com with your name, email address, pledge amount and total number of desired games; we will get back to you right away.
Because we don’t yet have the information backers have requested to make an informed decision about their games. Each of the designers’ Titan games will be added to the store as the sufficient information becomes available. We’ll be sure to let you know when the updates happen.
The main reason is that it removes our ability to ensure we have your updated shipping info when the products do ship. The reality is, the Calliope Kickstarter store and Coupon system will provide us all with a much smoother fulfillment process. It eliminates manual entries / double entries and creates better logistical process of getting your games to you. In addition, we realized doing so may result in backers being upset if they change their minds later. That could become a bookkeeping and customer service nightmare.

If you are a Muse or Demigod backer, the minimum order is $25 with a maximum of $150.
If you are a Titan or Mt. Olympus backer, the minimum order is $48 with a maximum of $96.
Once your cart contains the minimum amount of product without going over the maximum amount of product the Free Shipping coupon will appear in both the cart and coupon tab.
Note: At the Titan and Mt. Olympus levels each Free Shipping coupon can be used multiple times — 4 times for Titans, and 12 times for Mt Olympus backers. Muse and Demigod levels are single use. Once your Free Shipping coupon have been depleted, you will be required to pay the full shipping charges associated with your order. Please keep in mind that minimum to maximum settings allow backers to ship up to 6 games per shipment.
The entire discount structure was based off the premise of one game costing the same to ship as three. In order for the Titan Series to make sense financially we must ship a minimum of three games together and no more than six in order to offer free shipping.
The Free Shipping coupons have minimum and maximum dollar amounts associated with them. In most cases, you can ship up to 6 games in a single shipment.
No, we are unable to issue additional Free Shipping coupons.
Value Added Tax. It’s that simple; games shipped under this option will ship from within the EU, and the price includes shipping costs and VAT for all 3 shipments.
