Quick answer

The Machina Arcana: Fourth Edition Order of the Bliss All-In Pledge is the most complete way to get this horror-themed dungeon crawler, but its high price and niche appeal mean it's not for everyone.

What the All-In Pledge Includes

The Order of the Bliss All-In Pledge bundles the Ultimate Box (core game plus three expansions: From Beyond, To Eternity, and Vivarium) with a Miniatures Box for all content and a Codex. This is the entire Fourth Edition campaign in one package, designed for players who want everything without hunting for individual add-ons later.

Value vs. Price

At a pre-order price of $620.99 (compared to a catalog price of $899.99), the pledge offers a significant discount off the combined retail value. However, that's still a substantial upfront cost. You're paying for a massive amount of content, including high-quality miniatures, but the value depends entirely on how much you'll actually play it.

Who This Pledge Is For

This pledge is ideal for dedicated fans of the Machina Arcana series or heavy horror board game enthusiasts who want a complete collection. It's less suitable for casual players or those new to the franchise who might prefer to start with the core game alone.

Decision rules for the All-In Pledge

  • Content completeness: The All-In Pledge includes everything from the Fourth Edition campaign: core game, all three expansions, miniatures, and codex. No add-ons needed. If you want the full experience, this is the only pledge that delivers it in one box.
  • Price commitment: At $620.99, this is a premium pledge. The discount from the $899.99 catalog price is real, but only if you would have bought all content separately. Calculate whether you'd actually use all expansions before committing.
  • Solo vs. group play: The game supports 1-4 players. If you primarily play solo, the All-In might be overkill unless you enjoy having variety in your solo sessions. Solo players might prefer the core game plus one expansion.
  • Kickstarter risk: This is a pre-order with expected delivery on 2026-12-31. Delays are possible with crowdfunded board games. Only back if you're comfortable waiting and with the inherent risk of pre-orders.
  • Storage and table space: The Miniatures Box adds significant bulk. Make sure you have shelf space and a large enough table to play with all the miniatures. Measure your storage and play area before ordering.
