Latest Updates from Our Project:

Fulfilment latest, and news on Volume 2

Hi gamers!

Almost all of our North American backers should now have received their copies of the book. It looks like most of the remaining deliveries are in Canada, and they should be with you in the next day or two.

It's been great to hear that folks have been enjoying the book, and we're incredibly grateful for your help. This project could never have happened without you all, and we hope you'll consider supporting us again in the years to come.

Speaking of which, we've been busy making preparations for The Board Game Book, Volume 2! We'll be making some announcements about our new, expanded team of contributors shortly, as well as some of the improvements we're planning for our next edition. We plan to run the next Kickstarter campaign in September, and to deliver the book in late May/early June 2020.

In the meantime, if you like what you've seen in Volume 1, it would be incredibly helpful if you could leave us a quick review on Amazon either in the US or in the UK. We also really appreciate any tweets, Facebook updates, Reddit posts or just leaning out of your window and shouting about the book to people passing by on the street.

Ok, maybe don't try that last one.

Finally, we're very proud to be sponsoring this year's Tabletop Scotland convention in Perth on 24 and 25 August. If you're going to be at the show, please stop by our stand and say hello!

Once again, on behalf of the entire team, thank you so much for helping us turn this idea into a reality. It genuinely means the world to us.

- Owen

North America fulfilment update
almost 5 years ago – Thu, Jun 27, 2019 at 11:44:36 PM

Hi folks,

We've just heard from our international shipping company that there was a delay in transporting books from the port to our fulfilment house. This seems to have been a mix-up with a local haulier. This means that books will be dispatched to you from tomorrow. I'm really sorry about this slight hold-up, but it has now been resolved.

Damage to books in transit
almost 5 years ago – Wed, Jun 05, 2019 at 06:51:09 PM

Hi there backers. It was great to meet some of you at the UK Games Expo!

We've had a small number of supporters get in touch regarding books damaged in the delivery process. If you've been affected by this and would like a replacement copy, please email me at [email protected] with a photo of the damage to your books and I'll be glad to send you another copy. Fortunately we've only heard from a handful of folks who have had this issue, but we want you to get your books in perfect condition!
