Catching up and teasing October

QUICK NOTE FOR NEW SUBSCRIBERS: If you don't already know, the dropbox with a bunch of downloadable PNPs is located here: http://tinyurl.com/bgotmcfiles Enjoy!

Hey everyone! It's been too long, but we are knee deep in Tussie Mussie fulfillment here. We received TONS of games last week and have spent the last few days assembling them at the quickest speed we've ever assembled games. With a staff of 4 plus me, we knocked out almost 3500 in a week. Now while that sounds awesome, we now need to make 3500 expansions and we're just starting that today. 

As for the Board Game of the Month Club shipments, everything up to July has been sent and we're currently awaiting August. If all goes well, the last pieces will be here in two weeks and we'll start shipping out August (and possibly September too). It's all around the corner, but not as soon as we'd hope. 

Other than that we are doing a whole bunch of 2020 planning and can't wait to share what we've got on (or around) December 1st. Ideally, we'll also be ordering the entire 1st quarter of 2020 on that date so that we can be shipping things out on time. It's a dream and I feel like we're in the best position that we've ever been in to do it. 

Onto October. Here's what we've got:

Chain Mail 

October brings us a few new things for Chain Mail. One is a new character! It's a "Craftsman" named Orind. He's the smallest yet but he packs a real punch in his handy conversion system. He can change food into coins and vice versa, and he can also assist other characters by giving them actions, cube movement or re-rolls. There's also my favorite monster yet (from an art side), the Shadow. I love and fear these things. As for the quest, you need to summon a demon by saying it's name. It's real different and fun. 

Tempus Quest - Episode 10

In the next episode of Tempus Quest, the crew is collecting ore and trying to make a safe path through a looming Dynasty armada. It's getting tense in these last episodes!

The Perfect Moment: A Little Espionage Gone Wrong

The July package had a sneak expansion to The Perfect Moment. It was a secret here and we hope that some of you were excited to see it. We decided to move forward with 4 more expansions to The Perfect Moment (which in the end will be more than enough for the next Wallet Game version, called The Second Most Perfect Moment. :)

In this next mini expansion, you'll travel to the late 1980's where things hit rock bottom and you were getting involved in crime a little messier than your previous small time bank robberies.

Seasons of Rice

We kickstarted Seasons of Rice a few months back and it's finally arriving now and will be ready to go out to all of you. If you don't know about it, here's a little blurb. It's a fantastic little map building that feels very different from games like Sprawlopolis, both in how you obtain cards, but also in how you play them. You cannot overlap cards in Seasons of Rice. It's real neat. 

In Seasons of Rice, Corry Damey’s 18-card tribute to his Cambodian  heritage, players are farmers puzzling together field cards to expand  their family’s “landscape” of rice paddies and ensure the most bountiful  of harvests.

That's it! Thanks all! We also have a design challenge series going up on YouTube in the next week. I'll share everything here as we go. :)
