Dear backers,
Thanks for your support again!
We are happy that you are loving this project!
First of all we want to thank you for making this project possible and in this case also for giving us the idea for the BIG BOX.
As many of you may remember, the idea of the big Box came out from strongly from our community and we decided to listen to this request.
We would like to provide you here with some information answering the most FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about the BOX:
Can the Legendary Box contain the 3D MAP?
Yes, the Legendary Box will be able to contain the 3d Map and all the items related to Barrage. It will also save some space for the 8th faction and a New Map that will be released in the future
(Regarding these 2 items we are still working on them and we are not able to provide a release date at the moment)
What will be the final dimensions of the box?
We are not able to provide you with the final dimensions of the BOX at the moment, but we are trying to fit your requests of reducing the dimensions where possible.
Will the Legendary BOX be Kallax-friendly?
We understand the importance of having a box that can be stored in a Kallax, so we will do our best to make it fit as much as we can. Please consider that 2 out of 3 dimensions are already fitting, so anyway it will be possible to store it in a Kallax having a protruding side or removing the separation between 2 shelves.
What will be the thickness of the cardboard box?
The cardboard box thickness will be at least 2.5 mm in order to grant a good stability and try to avoid damages.
What will the inserts look like?
The inserts will be in black PS and we are developing them according to your tips where it will be possible, in detail, we are including all over lids and finger grooves.
The thickness will be more than 1 mm (standard insert thickness), but we will increase the thickness of the ones at the bottom of the box in order to be able to handle the increased load.
Here you can find the organization details of the storage of the INLAY
Why have you not been working with Game Trayz?
We chose to work with a company with which we have been working for a long time rather than to activate a new collaboration mainly for 3 reasons:
1) we trust them as they have produced Barrage for a long time and so they have a good know how on the components of the game, as we do.
2) they grant us a good priority timing, as above because of our long-term collaboration
3) and last but not least we wanted to grant a good pricing for you. In this direction producing all the items in the same factory is helpful.
They are now working on samples and we will keep you updated regarding the decisions we are going to make.
We just would like to let you know in general that we are working with the factory in order to provide you with a good quality product and to find with them the best solutions for Barrage Storage.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Dear Backers,
we really appreciate your interest in Barrage Digital, you have been so many asking about it!
Don't forget to subscribe to the WISHLIST on Steam to be updated on all future communications
![]()
Here you can a recap of the more Frequently Asked Questions about Barrage Digital:
Why are there only 5000 copies available for the campaign?
We are listed as new developers on Steam, so they allowed us to generate a limited number of keys. Therefore, we had to set a limited number of copies available during the KS Campaign, not to create hype but to be sure we could provide all backers with the game.
How can I get the digital version with the discounted KS price?
You will find the digital version available in the pledge manager, so you need to get Access to Cranio Add-ons Store by placing any level of Pledge and complete the survey as soon as the pledge manager will be open.
There will be a Mac Version?
Yes, we are developing the MacOSX version as well. Here on the Steam page you will find more details
What are the differences between the Digital Version and the Deluxe Digital Version?
The Digital version includes only the base game.
The Deluxe version includes the base game plus:
- XO A, B, C and D;
- All the available Maps (The Nile Affair, The Colorado Connection, The Duel)
- The following expansios: The Leeghwater Project, The 5th Player and The Far Companies expansion
Please let us know if you have further questions.
BARRAGE DIGITAL GAMEPLAY AND IMPROVEMENTS
Additionally, we also would like to share with you the plus regarding this version:
• Promo content which so far was only available on physical version of the game;
• Play against up to 3 AI which plays as regular players, not Automas;
• Asynchronous Multiplayer game mode;
• Visual language inspired by the board game
Here some screenshots of the game :

INSPIRATIONS
Dario, from The Cranio Creations Digital Team, would like to share with you the inspiration for the layout:
"While designing the graphics for the game, we tried to follow two golden rules. First and foremost, the visual language of the game should be the same of the board game; thus icons, metaphors, effect images and representations should be as in the base game, to foster recognition. Second, we wanted to express the feeling of being in an actual control room where the whole power production actually happens.
To do so, we took inspiration from Kelenföld Power Plant in Budapest, Hungary, which is a masterpiece of industrial design and art deco elements that embodies so well the marvels of the industrial revolution the game is about.
The Power station features consoles, gauges, buttons and placques which are both functional and beautiful in its design. Given how close the game events are to the construction of the Kelenföld PP, we decided it was a nice choice to create something unique without betraying the spirit of the board game".
Thanks for your support
