Yup, all of those "unlocked" bonuses are now included with the original forty bucks. I know I don't normally go "whole hog" with promoting projects like this unless I'm bought in as well. Having played the game, it's solid. Being produced and created by a "garage gamer" like us, great. The creator being an old gaming buddy of one of my best friends, even better. There's everything to like about this one, unless you don't like spaceship battle boardgames of course.
