Project Update: 33 - Quick Update

Hey everyone,

Chris here with a quick update. I know it’s been a bit since you last heard from us, and I wanted to explain why that is.

Simply put: we’ve been holding off on a new update because we’ve been waiting to get some key samples back from our manufacturer. The goal is to have actual, real-world images to show you, not just renders or prototypes. We want to put visuals in front of you that show the product in progress—so you can see what we’ve been seeing as it all comes together.

As I mentioned recently in the comments (and big thanks to Sharon D. and our Canadian friends for keeping the conversation lively!), there’s a lot of unpredictability right now—especially around global shipping, tariffs, and fulfillment. But here’s what hasn’t changed: our commitment to our backers.

We are absolutely not going to surprise you with extra charges due to tariff changes or shipping spikes. We’ve fulfilled products from multiple hubs in the past to make things easier for you, and we’ll continue to do that. You’ll see shipping costs ahead of time, and if anything seems out of whack, we’re happy to work with you—or issue a refund if needed.

To our Canadian community: we’re actively looking into the best fulfillment options for you. We've already reached out to Board Game Bliss and are awaiting a response from them. We’ve got nearly 100 Canadian backers, so this is something we’re taking seriously.

On the US side, there’s been a lot of talk about tariffs, and we’re right there with you. We’re hoping to absorb those additional costs for our backers, even if it means increasing MSRP for retail down the line. The important thing: if you’re a backer, your price is locked. Period.

All of the artwork—including the packaging—is done. We’re in the late-stage production pipeline, and just waiting on some final pieces to come in so we can share progress photos and lock down the next steps. We’re hoping that shipment lands soon, and the moment it does, you’ll be seeing a big, photo-heavy update from us.

Community

We know the wait isn’t easy, but we truly appreciate your patience as we get everything right. The next update will be all about visuals—photos, packaging, components, and layout. We’ve come this far with your support, and we’re determined to finish strong and deliver something amazing.

Onward,

Mike, Lane, Chris, and Marshall

What is happening?

I think it's long past time for a thorough up date and a concrete timeline to delivery. Thank you!

2 months without an update

Rapidly approaching two years, no update for two months. When will orders be fulfilled and shipped?

Tariffs (Canadian Backers)

Could you please have our pledges shipped straight to a Canadian hub from China, and not shipped up from the US? If we end up having to pay a whopping extra amount because of tariffs, then I'd much rather just cancel my pledge and get a refund.

Des nouvelles ?

Salut, en direct de la Bretagne (FRANCE), voici déjà 2 mois depuis le dernier mail d'informations de votre part. Quand est il de l'évolution du projet ? Les frais de transport seront ils plus élevés que l'investissement de départ ? (C'est grand l'océan l'atlantique ...) Merci pour les informations que vous transmettez et le travail que vous faites, cependant un peu plus d'infos plus régulières serait fortement appréciées par la communauté. Comme tous les participants nous avons hâte de découvrir le magnifique travail que vous êtes en train de créer. Dans l'optique qu'il ne reste pas à l'état de projet inachevé ? Merci à vous. Cordialement. Vico la Chips
