Production is complete on Innovation Ultimate! It will be on a boat next week, arriving in the US at the end of January (and similar to our hubs in the EU and Australia). So fulfillment will be happening in February for most folks.
This is the final final call for new pre-orders or order changes, I'll be closing the pre-order store next week.
Any pre-orders or add-ons that haven't been charged yet, and many store orders with cases will be charged on January 3rd. I'll be locking down those orders soon, and locking in those addresses once final charges have been made.
If your order or address was already locked and you need it changed, please send an email directly to [email protected] with whatever you want updated and the info of your new address, including any phone number change if outside the US. I've got a handful of emails in my inbox to process.
Happy Holidays all, excited for this to get to your tables finally! I am again sorry for the delays in production, but we're glad to be near the finish line.

Hey backers! It's been a minute since we updated, and things have been busy.
We've been anxiously waiting for the MPCs (Mass Production Copies) of the expansions to arrive at the studio for review. We were expecting it in early December ... and we're still waiting. 🥲 Could it be that Santa will drop it off this Christmas Eve? (Troublesome, as the studio does not have a chimney.)
We do have some photos of the MPCs from the factory!
We can't wait to show y'all the details once the MPCs arrive, so look forward to an update here in the new year with details! We'll also be talking about the timeline for the coming months. Mark your calendars for the January Studio Chat (January 14th, 2PM CST on Twitch!) to see the MPCs live! (Or catch the recording on our YouTube channel later that week.)
What else has been going on?
We had a great time showing off Ahoy and the PPC copies of the expansion content at PAX Unplugged earlier this month. There was a lot of interest in the base game, and excitement about the new content to come.
Wishing you a wonderful rest of 2024! We'll be spending a couple weeks with family & friends, recharging for 2025. Stay healthy, and play some games!
Questions or Other Support Help? Please email us at [email protected] for any questions or assistance. The Studio will be closed beginning December 21st through the end of the year! If you have questions or need adjustments to your pledge, we will address those emails after our return on January 6, 2025. We appreciate your patience, and hope you have a great rest of the year!
The digital edition of the game will be released on December 30th. I am finalizing everything this week and want to get it out just at the end of the Q4 estimated timeline I originally posted on the Backerkit page. The game is substantially more in-depth and polished than I even initially intended and I am incredibly happy with how it's turned out!
After the digital release, I will gather feedback for 1 week and make minor changes to the final print edition to ensure that what goes to print is updated with any small errors that might get found as more people look over it. This doesn't change the timeline for the printing at all as the printer will only be finishing these in March, at which time they'll be mailed out. This all fits within the timeline again, though towards the latter half of the estimates.
I mention the December 30th release date because I would like to gather as much feedback as possible, so if you're interested in helping out, please set aside a little time in the first week of January. Thanks!
Shipping costs will be charged once production is finished. You can expect that in March. I apologize that being a few months later than expected (though within the looser deadline I set, I still thought it'd be a bit sooner).
NEW COVER & BOOK SPECS
While laying out Grimwild, I realized it would work better in a larger size and made the shift from 6x9" to B5 (close to 7x10"). The modules as well were changed from digest to A5 (slightly larger). This allows me to set up a two-column approach where needed. We went back and expanded the sizing of all of the art in the book to match this new size, which also helps the flow a lot!
Print specs: The book is B5 size, with a cloth bound spine overlapping onto the cover. The cover is in matte, the internal pages are uncoated, thick (110g) paper for a nice, high-quality feel. You might've seen something similar in Vaesen or Salvage Union. It has a dark green bookmark that matches the cloth binding (not shown above). Along the spine, copper and silver debossed foil are used for the book title and other decorative elements. I've a prototype of this arriving in 2 weeks and I'll be sure to upload photos!
The printing costs went up overall as a result of the larger size, cloth binding, and foiling but I felt like it was worth it so ate the cost. I'd rather have a very attractive book on my (and everyone else's) shelf than stick with the original plan.
MODULES
Luke has also finished work on Nevermore and Gaelenvale. They are both fun sandboxes that make it easy to get a game of Grimwild started up. I wanted to share a quick mockup of how those are going to look. They, as well, will be printed on the 110g uncoated paper, with a thick stock cover - again, a very high-quality feel to them. The digital release will also come on December 30th.
Just wanted to let you guys and gals know that I got an update from my shipping partner, and I am pleased to announce we will be shipping the day after Christmas.
If you have not yet resolved your payment method or resolved it after the shipping deadline, which was December 10th, your order will be shipped shortly after the main batch of orders go out.
In observance of the Christmas holiday, I will be out of the office from 12/23 - 12/26. Happy Holidays, everyone!
Hearing that production is complete made me instantly worried about all the mistakes. Here's hoping it's better this time! A lot of errata was in Deluxe :/
Crossing fingers!
