End of year update

Hey everyone, it's about that time I post a little end of year update here. This one will look back a little and talk about some upcoming changes to the club as well. It sounds a bit down, and I apologize for that. Just trying to solve some problems and unfortunately they don't all have answers just yet. And I know that some of these answers take a long time to implement. We've tried a lot of things and some worked and others didn't, but the months truly pass faster than any of us would like ...

Status Update - 11/21/22

Hey, back again with the status. For September our cards should arrive this week and we can resume shipping on Tuesday. Unfortunately, for October, we hit a little snag with the postcards and that will not be here for a bit. So all postcard level packages wont begin shipping until December 10th. The non-postcard packages should start shipping soon though. Sorry for the delay!

Status Update - 11/14/22

Hey, we're back with another status update. Not a whole lot has changed since our last status update. We are still waiting on some rules and cards to arrive, but it won't change any of our expected dates. We did send out all the September Limited - Postcard Plus and Limited - Postcard tiers last week. So if you're in those tiers keep an eye out for your packages!

Hi everyone, just wanted to update you all on the status. All of August had been sent out, so If you haven't received it by November 16th please reach out to Michelle at buttonshyhelp@gmail.com and she can help you out. Unfortunately we received some cards from our printer with a printing error on them. This is going to affect a lot of the September packages. They had to be pushed back a few weeks. We apologize for this, we really didn't anticipate it. The rest of the months should not be aff...

Status Update - 10/24/2022

Good afternoon everyone! I'm back with another Status Update. As you may have seen, we sent out a lot of packages last week. The contents for the UK hub are on their way to the hub and should be shipped out right away. Once those are fulfilled, we will be done with August. There was a little hold up getting September's post card so that was bumped one week. But don't worry, that won't affect the tiers that do not receive post cards. Check it all out below.

Hi everyone, I know I gave a quick status update on Friday's Art Preview, but it can't hurt to send it out again on it's normal day.

Naturopolis is live on Kickstarter! Here’s how to pledge for the campaign.

Naturopolis is a standalone Sprawlopolis game. What does that mean? Well, it's more of what we built with Sprawlopolis, but instead of more cities, it's open countryside. It adds a few new twists (rivers, double-line roads, and camp sites) and can be played on its own or combined with Sprawlopolis/Agropolis in a fun new way.

Hi everyone, we are back with our weekly status updates. Sorry for the absence, we had a wild week here and are now starting to catch up on things. You'll notice some dates for August were shifted, we are just having a slight delay in getting some rules. The rules are always the hardest part. On the bright side, we have September now listed. We'll be bringing you Fishing Lessons, a new Revolver Noir expansion, and a brand new postcard game in September!
