Smoke Test is Live Now!
We are one step closer to getting Saurozoic Warriors Arena into your hands! Before we send out the full wave of surveys to every gladiator in the arena, we are launching this Smoke Test to a small group of backers (about 5%) to make sure everything is working properly.
If you are a part of this initial group, you will receive an email shortly with a link to your BackerKit survey. This is your chance to finalize your pledge, select your add-ons, and confirm your shipping details before everyone else.
What is a Smoke Test?
A Smoke Test is a vital test for our fulfillment process. We send these surveys to a tiny fraction of backers first to catch any technical issues before they impact everyone. This is your chance to provide your shipping address, confirm your details, and customize your pledge with any add-ons you may want.
Please note that shipping and taxes will be charged later, closer to fulfillment.
What if I don’t see an email?
Don’t panic! If you don’t get an invite today, it simply means you weren’t in the 5% of randomly selected backers for the Smoke Test. Once we confirm everything is running correctly, likely within the next 48-72 hours, we will send the “All Clear” and trigger the full survey rollout for the remaining 95% of backers.
Quick Reminders:
Check Your Spam Folder: sometimes this email gets lost in spam or promotions
Early Bird Rewards: If you signed up early for the “Veteran Approval” card, double-check that it appears in your pledge summary
Address Changes: You will be able to update your shipping address until we officially lock orders closer to fulfillment
Thank you for joining us in the arena!

Thank You, Warriors!! 🦖🥊🦕
We did it! Saurozoic Warriors Arena is officially funded!
From the entire Boss Fight team, a huge “Thank You” to every single backer who joined the Arena and helped us hit $70,603! Seeing the incredible response from our community has been amazing. You’ve helped us bring our very first board game to life, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. And don’t worry, this is just the beginning. We’ve got more action-packed games coming your way in the future!
What’s Next?
You may have already received a few emails from Kickstarter about funding and payments. Make sure everything looks good on your end. Here’s how things will roll out from here:
1. Kickstarter will begin processing your payments. This typically takes around two weeks.
2. Once that’s wrapped up, you’ll get access to BackerKit, our pledge manager, where you can adjust your pledge, add add-ons, and finalize your order.
3. When it’s time to ship, BackerKit will let you confirm your shipping details and process shipping costs to make sure everything stays accurate and up to date.
Stay Tuned
We’ll keep you posted with updates as we move through each step. If you have any questions in the meantime, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for sticking with us through all the updates and emails this past week. It’s been a big one! The best part is still ahead, and we can’t wait for you to have Saurozoic Warriors Arena in your hands and on your gaming shelf.
SAUROZOZA!!!!!

🦖Why I Love This Game🦕
by Stephen Baker
When Boss Fight Studio asked me to pitch game ideas, I suggested we look at every concept through three lenses: tone, complexity, and narrative. What we decided became the driving principle of a fantastic game. Keep the tone light, not goofy. Keep the complexity simple, not shallow. Keep the narrative familiar, with a twist. Hit those marks and you get a game that is easy to pick up, fun to play, and gives players real decisions.
From that approach, Saurozoic Warriors Arena took shape. We leaned into Boss Fight Studio’s retro dinosaur gladiators and asked a simple question: what if the arena felt like the classic spectacle everyone knows, with one bold twist? We put a volcano in the middle!
My goal was to deliver the most thematic experience in the simplest way possible. I like games that offer a few meaningful choices and a bit of push-your-luck. The arena is small to keep turns brisk, but movement and interaction still matter. Most of all, I wanted the crowd to feel alive in the game, because the roar of an arena is half the fun.
Development with the team brought it all together. The “minis” are oversized and full of character, the color palette nods to the ‘90s, and the art is playful. Under the hood, familiar dice and card play keep things moving while still handing you small dilemmas each turn, and a little push-your-luck.”
So why do I love this game?
The art. You can almost hear the crowd when you set it up.
The roll and re-roll. Each turn starts with the chance to do something memorable. You roll, hold a few results, then decide what to risk. And sometimes you risk it all to hit SAUROZOZA! The perfect roll. It is the banner moment the whole table feels. Players lean in. Someone laughs. Someone groans. You do not forget it. Chasing that moment is a joy.
What is SAUROZOZA?
SAUROZOZA is the game’s perfect roll. It is rare, loud, and unforgettable. When it lands, the arena feels alive.
The fans and the volcano. Ok, technically two things, but one deck handles both. Fans give you quick bursts of benefit and then sit with your gladiator to help unlock power-ups. Volcano cards rumble and sometimes erupt. Stand on the volcano and the crowd loves you, but you know the risk is building. That tension creates opportunity and potential defeat, drama and risk.
If you like quick turns, big moments, and a theme you can feel from across the room, I think you will enjoy Saurozoic Warriors Arena. Take a look at the Kickstarter. If you decide to back it, I will see you in the arena.
If you like quick turns … the crowd awaits!
