Comic Transcripts

JEREMY: No bike rack? Let’s lock to the meter I guess.
JEMIMA: People can lift the bikes OVER the meter.
JEREMY: We’ll just have to make sure it’s tight. I’ll use my U-bolt too.

[[There is now a U-bolt securing both bikes to the meter, but they’re not done yet.]]
JEMIMA: Make sure you thread it through the front wheel.
JEREMY: Should we take the wheels with us?
JEMIMA: I guess we could at least take the seats.

[[Four U-bolts now secure both bikes to the meter.]]
JEREMY: What do you think? Are we SECURE?

[[JEREMY and JEMIMA sit at a table outside a restaurant. The table is about five feet away from the bikes.]]

Bolted! games have been shipping to backers over the last couple of weeks! The non-US orders are (mostly) done and some folks have been reporting receiving them already!

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!
