Crowd Games publishing house announced that miniatures for the Machina Arcana board game will be its next pre-order. The campaign will start on August 12, 2026.
There will be two waves: the first will include miniature sets for the game and expansions, as well as a big box for miniatures; the second will include a new expansion and a big box for the game and expansions.
Crowd Games also announced that they will release the Vivarium expansion for Machina Arcana in Russian — a dungeon crawler that blends inventive steampunk and ominous Lovecraftian myths.
"Vivarium" promises to make the game more frightening and diverse. New scenarios await participants with previously unseen card types, encounters, changes to the game board, and choices that determine the development of a grim story.
The success of the Vivarium crowdfunding campaign on the Gamefound platform speaks for itself: 708,520 euros (67,236,280 rubles) with the support of 5,161 sponsors. In addition, Juraj Bilić, the game's author, continues to develop the world of Machina Arcana and implement his ideas.
Returning to the miniatures: as part of the pre-order, the team will offer separate sets of figures for the base game and each of the three expansions, as well as their complete set in one large box. 30 heroes and 64 monsters — a total of 94 detailed miniatures with unique designs. They will be a spectacular alternative to cardboard heroes and monsters.
The pricing situation is as follows: base game set (37 miniatures) — 5990 rubles, "From the Abyss" expansion set (14 miniatures) — 2990 rubles, "To Eternity" expansion set (25 miniatures) — 4490 rubles, "Vivarium" expansion set (18 miniatures) — 2990 rubles, complete set of all miniatures in one box (94 miniatures) — 13,990 rubles instead of 16,460 rubles.

All items will be exclusive products and will be in English. Only remaining stock after the pre-order will go to retail. During the "early bird" period, there are no restrictions: first, the team accepts orders, and then fixes the final quantity.
Crowd Games tentatively expects the print run to be in stock in April 2027. The pre-order for the "Vivarium" expansion is scheduled for 2027. However, the current campaign is the only opportunity to acquire miniatures for it.
