GERARD: Experts agree that we need to take drastic isolation measures to have any hope of slowing down the spread of VIRULENT CHEWBACCUENZA — so-called for the howling sound it makes your larynx make.

GERARD: But are we REALLY at that point YET? If we shut everything down too early, then we risk unnecessarily disrupting people’s lives, even jeopardizing their jobs and ability to feed their families…
But if we wait until it’s too late, we will have missed the chance to make a meaningful dent in what could become a VERY dire situation over time…

GERARD: Some are saying we are already too late. Others think we should still wait and see. Who’s right about this? Luckily for you, it’s ME.
Right now, it’s TOO EARLY. Everyone should stop the panic and just be reasonable.
Right NOOOWWW, it’s STILL too early. We’re cautiously observing events and evaluating all options.
The time to shut everything down IIIISSSSS…..
NOW.

CAPTION: Soon:

JARNATHAN: At SOME point we’ll need to EMERGE from our backyard bunkers. But can anyone tell us when it will be considered safe to do so?
GERARD: Luckily, I’m available! I’ll be happy to lend my experRAWHHHOWOW

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!
