Man 1: Yup, she’s a beaut all right … sort of a lot of bumper stickers, though, huh?
Man 2: Yeah, I love witty stickers! “Don’t steal, the government hates competition!” Ha ha ha! You get it?

Man 2: Or how about this one, “Bad cop, no donut!”

Man 2: Ooh, ooh, this one is my favorite: “Wife and dog missing, reward for dog!” — “Reward for dog!” How about you? What’s stuck to your bumper?

Man 1: Just one that reads “Bumper stickers are an ineffectual means of communicating my nuanced views on a variety of issues that cannot be reduced to a single pithy slogan.” Oh, and some dried blood, I think.

My US inventory of games is now in-country, but still being staged at the fulfillment centers. It’s being distributed to regional warehouses, so the actual shipping to backers happens more efficiently. I hope the bulk of US shipping will start next week.

These are what the cartons (and games) look like!

I am also waiting on the bonus cards to be finished printing! I ended up needing many more of those than I had anticipated, so I decided to have the game factory print those too, for perfect matching with the base game cards.

Most people will be receiving two separate mailings: the game itself, and “anything else” (bonus cards and/or add-ons) which will be sent by me personally.

As of today, 86% of backers have completed their surveys so far! That’s pretty good, but it’s not everyone. I know YOU PERSONALLY have already completed YOURS though, so no worries!!

We have now moved OFF of Kickstarter and ONTO BackerKit for any new orders. You can bundle a game with basically anything else I sell on that there website, it’s pretty nuts!
