USA SHIPPING UPDATE

Hello all,


I have heard today that the fulfilment center has communicated that they could send the games out by the end of next week. This isn't something I can guarantee, but I want to keep you all updated. We will keep checking with them early next week to see how on schedule everything still is. I so hope you have these games in your hands soon.

All the best,

James

USA SHIPPING UPDATE
over 2 years ago – Wed, Oct 06, 2021 at 06:37:49 PM

Hello all,


A midweek update for this week. As before we have been pushing to find out exactly what stage in the process the games are in. The current situation is that the games are with the fulfilment centre and are being processed through their system. The next step is that they will be sent locally to your homes, so we are close. 

We'll keep you updated as we find out further information too.

Thank you for your continued patience - it is much appreciated. 


All the best,


James

RULES FAQ's
over 2 years ago – Thu, Sep 30, 2021 at 12:02:36 AM

Hi guys,


If anyone has any questions about the rules. Paul Wilkins has done an absolutely fantastic job of collating various FAQ's.

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2711092/faq-and-unresolved-questions


We have found a number of people have not started by playing the core game, but rather played with the stretch goal expansion tiles included. Especially, the +3 Treasure hunter expansion slipping in there will mess up the game dynamic.


I'd strongly suggest starting by playing the core game using the tiles shown in the glossary on the back of the manual. Once you understand the core rules, its then easier to add in the expansions with their rule exceptions and various dynamics.


All the best,


James


USA SHIPPING UPDATE
over 2 years ago – Tue, Sep 28, 2021 at 11:50:13 PM

Hello all,

I can see many of our USA backers are frustrated with not getting updates. I sympathize and am in a similar boat.  If you would like a weekly update or an update ever few days I can do that but there won't be anything new to report.  Let me explain a bit more of the complex situation so hopefully, you guys can empathise. 

First off, please know we are not going anywhere, we will not suddenly disappear and you don't have your games.  This is something that I am pushing every day but due to all the shipping issues earlier in the year the set up is not part of the original plan.


So originally we wanted to have the games shipped to a USA fulfilment company who I personally would have been in touch with. Due to massive price increases and far more complicated shipping, we had to go to the main investor's company for support. They have the resources that allowed us to get the games out quickly. You may remember as well they put in a lot of money to pay for shipping as what was charged to you guys during the campaign was eclipsed by covid. So we were very thankful to those guys for that and also giving us team resources to find a way through the maze of china logistics. For the most part it was incredible as backers everywhere except the USA got games when many others were struggling. Unfortunately, what has happened for the USA backers is this...

The products were shipped and arrive in LA on the 5th of August. They were still waiting for unloading on the 16th, but by the 6th of September they were off the boat and waiting to be taken to the warehouse. All this time I have been pushing nearly every day, but the big issue is that I do not have a direct line to the company in the USA.

So I have to contact the team member who is part of our investors team. He then needs to contact the logistics company in mainland china, they then need to contact the companies and their partners in the USA.  I have asked for direct contact by the way, but there has been a reticence to give that.

So it is pretty hard to secure good solid updates for you guys. But the games are in the system and on route to you.


LATEST NEWS: The games are being loaded into the fulfilment warehouse.

I will continue to push daily. For those of you who I have upset because you'd like a weekly message, please accept my sincere apologies. 


I really do not take lightly that you have supported this game and agree you deserve to be kept up to date. Would you guys like an update, even if there is nothing to update as such but would like just the contact, which I am happy to do?


Thank you for your continued patience and I am truly sorry for any concern or frustration I have caused any of you.

I hope this update make the kind of challenges I am facing a little clearer too.


All the best to you all


James
