Hello Backers,

we have some good news regarding the status of RUN: production is almost
finished!

We're sorry that everything took longer than anticipated. In the end it
came down to two reasons: 1 - RUN is a complex product with many
different parts, and we took great care to make sure all the details met
our high expectations. 2 - As it turns out, May to July is probably the
busiest season for board game manufacturers, because almost everyone
wants to have their games ready in time for SPIEL in Essen... Especially
the injection molded parts like the action and gadget tokens had really
long lead times.

However, we've tried to use the waiting time to improve components
wherever we could, and we're really happy with how everything turned
out! Here are some production photos we've received from our
manufacturer (some parts still unfinished):

Our manufacturer plans to ship out the games to the distribution hubs in
the first week of August.

This is how the games will get to you:

USA and Canada: The games will be shipped to our US warehouse for
distribution.
Australia: The games will be shipped to and distributed by our
Australian partner Meeple.com.au.
UK: The games are shipped to Aleto and distributed from there.
EU: The games are shipped to Fullfillment Europe in Germany and
distributed from there.
Rest of the world: Games will be shipped from our hub in China (VFI).

We can give you a better estimate once the games are in transit, but
right now it looks like most of you will receive your games in September
or October. This is later than we had hoped, but we hope that the high
quality of the components and attention for detail we've put into the
game will make up for the delay.

We're sorry you have to wait a little longer - we can't wait to get RUN
into your hands!

Thank you for your patience and support,
Moritz and Tim
