Sands of Crime

🌵 Overview

Welcome to the Grabi Desert, a post-apocalyptic wasteland where roving gangs compete to steal from the famed Treasure Trench…and each other. Armed with wacky gadgets and a signature heist, each gang’s goal is simple — grab loot, trade it for cool junk and deck out their hideout. Featuring a variety of gameplay options, Sands of Crime is an easy to learn, push-your-luck, dice and card game for both seasoned thieves and budding burglars.

⚰️ Shipping

Shipping, especially international shipping, can be expensive! It stinks, but currently there's nothing we at Radish Games can do about it. We've done our best to predict shipping prices based on current rates and have found that a game the size and weight of Sands of Crime will ship to most locations in the continental United States for roughly $6 to $8. International shipping is predicted to be around $13 to $17 on average. Live in the Indianapolis area? We are planning to do local hand-offs for any backers that can make it to our launch event, time, date and location pending. Backers who attend will be recompensated for any shipping fees.

Be sure to locate the estimated shipping when looking over backer tiers. Please note that backers in certain countries may need to pay an additional Import Tax or Duty Fee when the game arrives ON TOP of shipping and VAT taxes collected by Kickstarter. Here are our current estimates on how much extra that may run backers in countries where our games tend to sell the best.
