GAX: Did you forget? We had plans to go cosmic bowling!
ALAN: I’m sorry, Gax, I never got the message! I have a date tonight with Amanda!

GAX: Amanda, AMANDA! Everything’s Amanda THIS, Amanda THAT! Fine. ENJOY your date with Amanda. I will be BOWLING. For BOTH of us.

ALAN [[answering his phone]]: Amanda! Hey! You…what? Have a severe human disease that means you have to cancel our date?
ALAN: Your voice…it sounds kind of like a Gaxian who is pretty good at shape-shifting his vocal cords, but not great.

GAX [[also on the phone]]: Dude I’ve been Amanda from the beginning

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!
