Greetings Slayers,
Fulfillment is complete worldwide! If you haven't received a tracking number, please contact [email protected]. Over 30,000 of you now have Slay the Spire: The Board Game. The first prototype of the board game was made 4 years ago. We took a big risk by spending so long making the game. We weren't sure the campaign would do well or if people would appreciate our efforts. To see so many of you finally enjoying the game in real life is both surreal and incredibly fulfilling. Thank you all again for believing in us and backing the game!
We'll be at Gen Con! We're sharing booth 2211 with our friends at Kolossal Games. Come say hi! More convention announcements are coming.
Damaged, defective, or missing components? Let us know at [email protected].
Our Shopify store is up for US, UK, and AU/NZ! Anything you order here will ship starting July 25th. Shipping to EU and Canada isn't up yet, but those regions should be ready by July 25th.
The Companion App has gone through several updates, with compatibility and music player improvements being the main focus. You can download it here! We're now working on getting more languages ready.
Reviews for Slay the Spire: TBG have been beyond what we were expecting. We're super excited to receive the Dice Tower's Seal of Excellence! You can check out their review here:

Fulfillment is wrapping up! Please see updates by region below. Any pledges that were finalized after March 25thare shipping with Late Pledges. If your region is done, your package may currently be in transit. Please check your spam folder for a tracking number.
The Table Playmats are shipped separately. Everything else should be in one box. They may show up over a week before or after your game. Please be patient, the rest is coming!
Has my package shipped yet? Sometimes a shipping label is made, but your game might not get picked up by the carrier for up to a week. Someone in your neighborhood might get their game weeks before you. This is all normal - there are several factors that go into when packages ship, so please be patient with us and with our fulfillment partners as we try to get everyone their game. If we announce that fulfillment in your region is 100% complete, but you didn't get a tracking number, please contact [email protected] (check your spam folder first).
Updates by Region

Late Pledges will be sent from a different fulfillment center (to be announced). For shipping/tracking issues, please contact [email protected]. Shipping issues that require reshipping will be sent from the new hub. You can contact [email protected] regarding Late Pledges or if your issue requires reshipping. We'll make a separate announcement for Canada when freight is about to arrive at the new hub. We know that Ziing has caused issues for many of you - please know that we are 100% committed to making sure you get your game and will do whatever it takes to make that happen! There will be a week gap as we move freight to the new hub, so please bear with us.
UK (Spiral Galaxy) - Fulfillment is complete (aside from Late Pledges)! Late Pledges are shipping soon. If you didn't get a tracking email yet, please contact [email protected] and we'll figure out why (If you paid for shipping late, your order will ship with Late Pledges).

If you're missing a token, please check carefully if it fell into the box. If you haven’t received your Late Pledge yet, please be patient as they're just getting started.
We've updated the music player with a Loop button and track names that include the Act. There have also been LOTS of bug fixes. Here's what we're working on now:
Music Player - Getting the music to play when the screen is locked (and other play issues).
Compatibility issues - for various devices including Galaxy, Fold, and tablet devices.
Languages support - Once we fix the above 2 issues, we'll work on adding more languages.
There's a bug where the wrong images may appear on cards. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app should fix it.

Updates by Region
US (Bridge Fulfillment) - Fulfillment is over 80% complete and will continue into mid-May. Then we'll focus on Late Pledges and replacement parts.

For shipping issues, please contact [email protected].
Canada (Ziing) - The first wave of shipments were sent April 19th without tracking emails. Ziing paused shipments while they worked on a solution. Tracking emails should be working now, and they just shipped 1000 more units. For shipping issues, please contact [email protected]. (We gave you the wrong contact email last update - if you didn't get a reply please try again with [email protected].) Addresses from the first wave with apartment numbers or 2nd line addresses may not have included them. Keep an eye out for this issue and let Ziing know if it made your package bounce back. We will reship your package if it was returned to sender.

VAT for Norway, Iceland, Switzerland - We charged these countries VAT. We're getting reports that some of you had to pay VAT anyway, and some of you did not. We're still figuring out what to do and could use more reports from you. Can you let us know in the comments if you paid VAT or not and in which country? We'll refund VAT if we weren't supposed to collect it.
