Project Update: Dev update, Thundergryph Bazaar launch and more!
Hello everyone,
We hope this message finds you well!
We really appreciate your support and we sincerely thank you for your trust and patience while we were working on this collection.
A couple of months ago this campaign ended and we started working on the different games and logistics to make sure we meet our expectations for this line and our estimated deadline of delivery for October 2023.
Soda Pop Collection rulebooks
Alongside Jonathan Cox, we have written and revised the final rules for each of the games, including Get Salty and a small compendium of the rules modules for all the Stretch Goals unlocked during the campaign.
Rules fit in a foldable small piece of paper that will be found inside your Soda can. If you are picking any other language in our pledge manager from the ones available (French, German, Italian, Spanish) you will receive your rules in a small paper envelope along with your games.

Development, packing, and logistics
We are preparing everything way in advance of fulfillment to make sure the process will be as fast as possible. If you bought the fridge bundle, you will receive everything inside your fridge box (the games, the stretch goals and the coasters). If you are picking any other language in our pledge manager from the ones available (French, German, Italian, Spanish) you will receive your additional rules in a small paper envelope along with your games.
If you have backed just a single can, we will be offering the packaging that we will be using for the retail release. The stretch goal for your game/games will be found inside your shipping box along with the games.
This time around we did a lot of quality checks before running the campaign, but a couple of components had to be revised in order to be completely satisfied with them.
The first one we are still working on is the metal caps for Top Cap, which are classic bottle caps. We might create a new mold to make sure the bottom part of the caps is flat and not wavy as it is now. That way it will slide with much more ease and we will make sure it will pass all safety tests. This won’t change the look of the component as we have shown in the campaign.
The second was the cubes in Light Seeker. Printing full-color edge-to-edge is a very difficult task, and if you have seen photos of our pre-production you probably have noticed that the cubes could have part of the print peeling off from the sides. We have painted the cube in blue before printing and are applying a coating on the dice to make sure that this won’t happen. You can see the final results here!
Thundergryph Bazaar (pledge manager) launching May 29th
We want this to be a smooth transition and a fast pledge manager stage, so we have been preparing all the different items and logistics in advance of this launch in order to have a pledge manager of 2 weeks or less to start production right away after the closing time.
Here is everything you can do in our Thundergryph Bazaar
Please note that to be able to access our Bazaar you need to have a full pledge of at least a single can. We have a limited stock of many Deluxe editions, so please make sure to access them on the first day if you really want any of our past games.
We are available in this comment section to answer any of your questions or directly in our Discord channel where the communication flows on a daily basis!
