Shipping Update April 15th
about 2 years ago – Mon, Apr 15, 2024 at 11:30:58 AM

Fulfillment is well underway! This will be a multi-week process, so please bear with us as packages are sent out. 

You might see people all over the world receiving their packages and wonder why yours hasn’t arrived yet. Someone in your neighborhood might even get their game weeks before you. This is all normal - there are several factors that go into when packages are fulfilled, so please be patient with us and with our fulfillment partners as we try to get everyone their game.

Updates by Region

US (Bridge Fulfillment) - Fulfillment is 45% complete! Lookout for tracking emails from ShipHero [email protected] (check your spam). US fulfillment will still continue for weeks, so don't worry if you didn't get a tracking email yet. Your Exclusives may come in a smaller box inside the carton, be sure to look for them! 

Canada (Ziing) - Fulfillment starts April 19th! There were no address verification emails, so it will ship to the address we have for you in Backerkit

UK (Spiral Galaxy) - Fulfillment is underway! If you didn't get a tracking email yet, please be patient and keep an eye on your spam.

EU - Europe is split between Surfin Meeple and Happyshops. Games at both hubs should start shipping within the next week. We don't know what order they will ship games in, so please be patient if you see others with your country/language getting the game.

  • Surfin Meeple Countries - France, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, Austria, Ireland, Hungary, Portugal, Lithuania, Slovenia, Estonia, Slovakia, Luxembourg, Turkey, Jersey, Latvia 
  • Surfin Meeple Update - Fulfillment starts by the end of the week! Keep an eye out for tracking emails and your spam folder.
  • Happyshops Countries - Germany, Sweden, Poland, Czechia, Finland, Norway, Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Serbia, Rest of World
  • Happyshops Update - About half of the address verification emails were sent out, more will be sent within the next couple of days. Fulfillment should begin in about a week!
  • VAT for Norway, Iceland, Switzerland - We charged these countries VAT, but we're not sure if that will be accounted for when the game ships. If we can't pay VAT for you in these countries, we will refund your VAT as soon as possible.

Rest of World (Happyshops) - These regions ship from Happyshops (see update above).  

Asia (VFI) - Fulfillment starts soon! Probably this week. Keep an eye out for tracking emails!

Australia/NZ (Aetherworks) - Fulfillment is complete (aside from new Late Pledges). We still haven't shipped damaged/missing parts, but that should start within a week. 

Japan - Fulfillment is complete (aside from new Late Pledges). We still haven't shipped damaged/missing parts, but that should start within a week. 

Customer Service

Damaged or missing components? Please contact [email protected] with a picture (if appropriate). If you're missing a token, please check carefully if it fell into the box. If you’re not sure what address we have on file for you, please check here before contacting us. If you haven’t received your package yet, and you’re looking for tracking - please be patient as more packages are sent out. 

Late Pledges

The Pledge Manager is closing soon! (no specific date yet) Late Pledges are shipping with everything else this wave. Orders take about 7-10 days to get added to the queue, which could mean they get shipped with all other similar items or added to the end of the queue. Depends on the timing. 

That's all for now! Until next time...

Shipping Update!
about 2 years ago – Thu, Mar 21, 2024 at 10:44:03 AM

Greetings Slayers,

Fulfillment is underway!! Some in Australia and Japan have already gotten their game!

Address Verification Emails 

Look out for address verification emails from our fulfillment partners. These emails are your last chance to change your address. Other than these emails, we are no longer able to accept address changes. Different regions will be sending these at different times. 

Updates by Region

Japan - Shipping has begun! Please be aware that your game will be shipped separately from exclusives/add-ons. Also Table Playmats are shipped separately. If you get one shipment, it could take more than a week for everything else to arrive. Details here: https://kibidango.com/project/2313/action/17942. Additional updates for Japan shipping can be found here: https://kibidango.com/project/2313/action

Australia - Aetherworks has begun shipping! Look out for address verification and tracking emails. 

US - Address verification emails were sent yesterday from Bridge Distribution. You can also update your US address here. March 26th at 11:59pm EST is the cutoff to make final changes to your address. If your address hasn't changed, you don't need to do anything. You can check the address we sent to Bridge in Backerkit (if you lost your survey link, click here).

Canada - Freight has arrived! We hit a customs delay so fulfillment may not start until the first week of April.

Everywhere Else - No changes since the last update.

Order Issues

Missing a component? Got the wrong order? Please email [email protected]

Late Pledges

We are still accepting Late Pledges and charging them periodically - don't worry if you placed an order and haven't been charged yet. Your order will be shipped in this fulfillment wave.

That's all for now! Until next time...

See you in the Spire,

Production is complete!! We're on schedule!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Feb 21, 2024 at 05:00:10 PM

Greetings Slayers,

Taxes for Canada, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland have been added to Backerkit and will be charged on March 5th. Our apologies, taxes for these regions weren't set up correctly before. 

Production Complete

We did it!! We slayed production!

Our production schedule was aggressive, but we finished before Chinese New Year! We at Contention Games would like to thank our localization partners and our manufacturer Longpack for their tremendous effort in making this possible.

Locking Addresses

We'll be locking addresses in Backerkit on March 1st. If you need to change your address after March 1st, please contact us at [email protected] or message us on Kickstarter. 

That's all for now! Until next time...
