After two and a half months, the games are finally on ships leaving China. I included the links to the ships below. I will be sending an update about the freight issues after we return from Dundracon.
Gary, Dan, Greg and Don will be at Dundracon this weekend. Find us and let's play some games. We will have a demo copy of Rise of the Gnomes and Backyard Chickens. We will also be showing off our next game - GOBLIN ROCKET RALLY!

Hey all! We hope all of you had a great holiday and a new year. We figured we would give you an update on the freight. Our game order is divided into four shipments to ASIA, AU, UK/EU, US/CANADA. They are boxed up and ready to ship from the factory. We expect that Asia and the Australia will ship out first, followed by North America. We are waiting on some VAT paperwork for the UK/EU and expect to have it all set within the next two weeks. You will be the FIRST ones to know when I get the EXACT shipping ETAs.
Coin Bag!
Check out the coin bag for Rise of the Gnomes. We are REALLY happy with the quality of the coins. A few of the play testers ordered five sets!

I few of you have asked for an update on the shipping. Here are the highlights.
Production is done! The cases are in a Chinese warehouse waiting for shipment.
Because of Brexit, we are in the process of getting a new UK VAT number with Simplyvat. We will fulfill to the EU through the UK distribution center.
We are working with Quartermaster and ARC Global Logistics Inc to secure freight from China. They are optimistic that they will secure a vessel for delivery in late February.
We will post additional updates once we get more information.
Happy Holidays
We REALLY appreciate your patience and hope each of you has an amazing Holiday. Thank you!
Coop Impossible!

We have tried many times to beat Rise of the Gnomes Coop play at the Impossible difficulty level. On Saturday three of us gave it our all with with our production sample copy. At the end of turn four all three of us were ahead of the Gnomes. We though we had it in the bad. I was so so excited. Sadly, the Gnomes hit back HARD on turn five. In the end we lost! Kate had 5 more points than the Gnomes, I had the same points and Pat was 4 behind. Super close and super fun. Darn those pesky Gnomes!
This is where we stood at the end of turn four. We thought we had it in the bag. The Gnomes had NO breweries on the board.
