Terraria September 2025 Update

🏭 Manufacturing is Go!

Production is underway - the Gameland team are hard at work manufacturing the games and have sent over some pictures, with more to follow soon! Plastics and neoprene generally come first as they take longer to make, followed by paper and cardboard components which are quicker to produce.

It's wonderful to see the games being made - we’re so excited to show you the other components as they are manufactured! 🤩

📖 Rulebook Complete!

Last month, we published the pre-format version of the game’s rulebook; thank you to everyone who took time to read it and share feedback. Over 1500 backers reviewed the document and left hundreds of helpful comments – these have been used to make final edits to the document, and we’ve also added a commonly requested feature - a glossary. Sharing the rulebook was a fantastic way to ‘crowdsource’ final proofreading, and it’s something we’ll be doing for future games too.

This means by week’s end, all of the game’s print files will officially be in the hands of the manufacturer, and we couldn’t be more excited! 🥳

📤 Packing and Stacking

This is a game with lots of components, so we’ll be adding a packing guide to every copy of the game. This will show how trays are organised, how it all fits neatly in the box, and will feature a QR code to a video demonstration. We hope this will make unboxing and sorting your game a smooth and enjoyable experience! 😀

🙋 Backer Requests

We’ve gathered some backer requests below, plus miscellaneous bits and pieces that you might find interesting! First, an image of the wooden character pack:

Next are pictures of the final playmat (complete with a play-Matt holding it up!).

Finally, here are a selection of beautiful new component shots from Lee at Rising Dice. Thanks, Lee! 😀

🃏 Card Counts + Dimensions

Some of you have asked about final card counts and card dimensions for the purpose of sourcing your own card sleeves. 

We wanted to make sure that we were in manufacturing before releasing final information so that we could be 100% sure of the details, but we’re now able to confirm this information. Even so, we strongly advise waiting until you have received your game to buy third-party card sleeves so that you can choose exactly what to order for your individual needs/ preferences. 

The game will include:

174 Poker Cards (63.5 mm x 88.9 mm)

• 112 action cards
• 30 boss cards – if sleeved, use clear sleeves, not art sleeves
• 32 chest cards (30 base game + 2 promo) – if sleeved, use clear sleeves, not art sleeves

If you are a Hellstone backer, you will be receiving 200 full art card sleeves: enough to sleeve all the action cards in the game, plus plenty of spares that you can keep for future or use with your favourite card games! As noted above, some poker-sized cards in the game (boss and chest cards) have information on both sides of the card and therefore should not be sleeved with these art sleeves. 

297 Mini Cards (41 mm x 63 mm)

If sleeved, use clear sleeves, not art sleeves

• 56 objective cards
• 175 equipment cards (172 + 3 promo)
• 66 consumable cards (64 base game + 2 promo)

As we have mentioned previously, we have designed the card box to hold sleeved poker + mini card cards - just remove the foam blocks provided.

Square Cards

The game’s square cards are designed to sit within the player board and shouldn’t be sleeved as it will adversely affect the way the cards’ function during gameplay.
