Hey everyone, we are currently shipping October packages! In fact, many of you may have received a shipping notification already. If you haven't yet, don't worry, we will continue shipping over the next few days. UK subscribers, we will be shipping soon. The contents are on the way to the UK Hub at the moment and will ship out as soon as they arrive. As we check (most of) October off our list we figured we would begin to move forward with November. So let's choose our featured games and downl...

Living elements interweave throughout the realm. A water guardian extinguishes a roaring wildfire that leaves behind unrecognizably scorched earth. The seared avatar of that earth rises and consumes the water of a dozen seas. With infinite variations on their eternal cycle, no element can ever reign supreme.

Hey everyone.
Yes December 2023. This is not a typo. We have finally gotten the last items in for the 2023 catch up package with the December 2023 wallet game, two Role Playing Games for that tier and a bunch of other smaller things. We still have a few postcards, and a few Role Playing Games, but otherwise, this is everything else.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to let you know that we shipped the March club packages out to our US supporters. Some of you may have received your packages already, but many are probably still in transit. Unfortunately, we discovered an issue after these were shipped that will only affect a portion of the copies of The Last Lighthouse.
ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED
Here are the details:
We mailed out about 800 club packages. 1/8 of those have an issue affecting the cardba...

ROVE: Results-Oriented Versatile Explorer has risen up the ranks on both BGG and our internal top games list. It's a solo spatial puzzle game and has constantly sold well, or sold out! As a result we wanted to make something all new so the team put together two really awesome new games, Aqua ROVE and ROVE Jr.

Hey everyone!
Before we get into the April Preview, here's a quick March update. It was planned to start shipping today, but the wallets came in this week with a print issue (not our fault) and so did the rules (partially our fault - something looked right on the proof but once we got it in hand it wasn't what we expected). It rarely happens for either, but somehow both had issues. It'll take about two weeks to get everything here and moving so we'll be shipping this one out late. A...

Hey everyone, we're a bit behind on the messaging this month, but everything else has been moving forward. The March games are almost in and ready to ship so we need everyone to choose their swaps (if you didn't want the featured game).
One quick note about this package. We intended to include The Royal Limited Expansion collection wallet in the March package but the wallets won't be here for another week or two, so we decided to bump the empty wallet to next month. It's still coming,...

We are not quite ready to ship the February packages. Still waiting on a few pieces, but soon enough we will be shipping these out. It looks like we might just hit the tail end of February, which compared to last year is still amazing. Just some small delays, but nothing major, and the simplicity of the package makes it really nice. But in order to get the spreadsheets going now, we want to get your picks for the February wallet game. If you started supporting us on or after February ...

Hello everyone! February is just two days away and I'm happy to say that January was a huge success here in getting things out on time. There are still lots of ways to improve things, but we started shipping January in January and I believe all of it is out the door by now. The one exception will always be UK since we send everything to UK, it goes through customs and the UK hub sends to you. Those are always about 2-4 weeks behind the US. But some SERIOUS progress here. And it really feels g...
