VIOLET: I can’t go with you to the thing. Facebook just reminded me that Saturday is Haley’s birthday party.

BRITNEE: Do you have a gift?
VIOLET: Nah, I’m just gonna get her an Amazon gift card.

BRITNEE: Where’s the party going to be?
VIOLET: I’m not sure where her new place is. I’ll just Google Map it.
BRITNEE: What’re you guys going to do there?
VIOLET: I dunno, probably just hang out looking at funny pictures or Reddit, or maybe watch something on Netflix?

BRITNEE: HMMH. Whatever would you DO if the Internet were to disappear?
VIOLET: Well I guess we’d have to gather around CAMPFIRE to SING THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY

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!
