North American backers, it's the news you've been waiting for
almost 2 years ago – Tue, May 31, 2022 at 04:29:31 PM

Good afternoon, backers. I just returned to my computer to an e-mail from QML indicating that fulfillment will begin later this week. I know some of you have been getting your pre-fulfillment notifications, which is excellent. Thank you for your patience, and I can't wait to see our card game on your tables.

Playfully,

Marc

North American fulfillment update + The Artemis Project: Satellites & Commanders is FUNDED!
almost 2 years ago – Thu, May 19, 2022 at 02:12:20 AM

Good morning, Citizens of Cartagena! I am reaching out with a fulfillment update from QML, as follows: "Nothing firm yet on the start of fulfillment. We were hoping for the end of the month, but it looks like the pace of the warehouse is going to push this to the beginning of June at this point." I continue to stay in contact and will keep on top of them. QML do a great job, and I know they are trying!

TAP:S&C on Kickstarter

In case you missed it, Satellites & Commanders, the expansion to The Artemis Project, went live yesterday.

Look at those gorgeous components!

We are fully funded and headed to our first stretch goal. If you've not yet joined us on our trip to Europa, now is a great time to get all things Artemis. While this campaign is for the expansion, you can also pick up the Galileo Kickstarter edition of the base game. Check it out here.

Thanks for your continued patience, and I'll reach out again soon.

Playfully,

Marc

Delays, delays, delays
about 2 years ago – Fri, Apr 22, 2022 at 12:03:39 AM

Delays are the name of the game these days. My e-mail correspondence with QML has updated our warehouse delivery to early May, which subsequently means 2-3 weeks for fulfillment. I apologize that these updates are not sunnier, but they are what they are, right? I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, and I am grateful for your patience.

Playfully,

Marc

Fulfillment update for North American backers
about 2 years ago – Sat, Mar 26, 2022 at 06:50:57 AM

This came in late yesterday from QML: "The most recent updated ETA to the port in the US is now 4/3."

Based on previous timelines, that means we're looking at goods in house at PSi towards mid-April, and North American fulfillment to begin 2-3 week later.

I appreciate your patience. It is clear that logistics woes continue to plague the world. I will be on London on holiday next week, but I'll do my best to pay close attention to both comments on Kickstarter and direct e-mails. Be well!

Fulfillment Underway
about 2 years ago – Wed, Mar 09, 2022 at 05:39:01 AM

With pictures hitting social media, I'm excited to let you know that fulfillment is (mostly) underway, as follows:

QML (US/Canada/RoW) - ETA to the US is currently 3/11, so we expect the goods in house at PSi towards the end of March given the delays we have been seeing from the port. Fulfillment is tentatively slotted for the week of April 18th (PSi's standard 2-3 week start window after receiving the product), but this will be solidified or modified depending on when the goods actually arrive at the warehouse. Just waiting on product for this and then the fulfillment queue will dictate the start!

ShipQuest EU/UK - All approvals and such are in for the EU/UK and they plan on starting fulfillment this week. 

AW - Will be sending out AVS emails over the weekend for backers to update their addresses one last time. Fulfillment will happen early this week.

VFI - CN and HK orders will be shipped out this week, and the rest of Asia will be shipped via the consolidated hub shipments in mid March per VFI.

Long story short, for most of the world, the courier will be knocking on your door very soon. Any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!

Endangered: Monarch Butterflies preorder launch

If you are a fan of Endangered, preorders are open for our newest scenario: Monarch Butterflies. This will be a limited release, which means:

  1. Preorders will close 31 March.
  2. Monarch Butterflies will not be on Kickstarter, unless I attach it to a future Endangered project.
  3. Unless a retailer has previously supported the Endangered line, Monarch Butterflies will not be going into distribution and retail.
  4. We'll be ordering enough units to cover our preorder and convention season, and after that they are gone.

Aldabas and Endangered are definitely different games, but I know many of you like to not only expand your gaming experience, but also support me as a company. Monarch Butterflies can be ordered by itself, but the base Endangered game is required for play. If you don't already own it, it's easy to add Endangered by itself, or get everything in the All In Bundle.

Thanks for your patience and support!

Playfully,

Marc
