The Spirits are calling. Will you answer? Step into a world of whispered secrets, shifting alliances, and stunning art that pulls you straight in. Kindred Spirits isn't just a game... It's an experience. Which part are you looking forward to most?
As part of our Kindred Spirits Pocketopia campaign, we are including two social stretch goals to help improve the product that you receive once it is in production. We felt that this was a way that people could promote and share the project, whilst being rewarded for doing so.
This is our final request to confirm your shipping address for Kill the King.
We’ve kept the Pledge Manager open as long as we possibly could while waiting for our co-shipment game from Happy Heights. That time has now come to an end and we’re ready to wrap up shipping address collection and lock the Pledge Manager.
You have just 48 hours to access the Pledge Manager and provide your preferred shipping address.
After 48 hours, the Pledge Manager will close and be locked. If we don’t have your shipping address by then, we cannot guarantee that we’ll be able to include your game in our upcoming shipment.
Hello Alchemists! A quick one today, so lets keep this short.
The production for Primary Potions - Tertiary Twist, is under way! We are working hard getting it to you as fast as we can.
In the meantime, we will start sending out surveys to collect addresses and shipping costs. Make sure to watch out for those as we start the initial smoke tests.
The full surveys will be sent out later once we are confident in the surveys.
Thank you for your continued support toward making this project a reality!
🙋♂️ Hello to the incredible backers of Stolen Treasure: Dragon's Lair!
We thank you kindly for waiting very patiently as we got our act together. We're excited to bring you the first update since the end of the campaign.
The current state of affairs: We have reached the final stages of manufacturing! We expect the game to have finished printing and to begin fulfilment by end of September - Early October 📦. If all goes according to plan, your games will be in your hands by end of October 🎃!
Thank you to all the folks who have taken the chance and backed our campaign. Without you, producing this game would not have been possible.
In anticipation of the game reaching you very soon, we are making available to everyone the official Print and Play of both the Dragon's Lair base game AND the newly completed Expansions!
🎉 What's next: We'll let you know once the game is in our hands and ready to start shipping. 🎉
For those keen to see some behind the scenes of the work and process of bringing the game to life, we'll also have some design journals coming very soon 👀
I am pleased to announce that we sent our game into production a week ago. Our manufacturer, VART GAMES, has been amazing in helping us integrate all of the expansion packs into the base game.
The rulebook was also updated to consolidate everything into a single cohesive rule set. Special thanks to Andrew Gilpin of Gilpin Games for his help polishing the rules.
We had space to add one more Rooftop Patio card, and I couldn't think of anyone I would rather have than Tabletop Tolson. Kim has been very generous with her coverage of our games over the years, and if you haven't checked out her channel, click here and give her a sub: https://www.youtube.com/@TabletopTolson
For those who also backed Kill the King, Richard from Analog Game Studios and I have been coordinating the shipping, and those will go out together.
Chris here with the monthly update. It's a short, but positive one!
🤘 Manufacturing is complete!
All games, expansions, and promos have been printed by our manufacturer. I'm now awaiting the MPC (mass production copy) of the game. This is the final chance for me to examine a final edition of the game. I'll read through all the rulebooks, cards, and components to confirm the game is as it should be. If I find anything amiss, it's the last chance to make a change. Now, making a change at this point would mean reprinting something and extra cost, so ideally that will not be the case!
I should receive the MPC later this week. Once I have that, I will record a video unboxing the components and send it out for y'all to watch. I can't wait!
🔔 Pledge Manager Status
Orders have been locked as we are now done with manufacturing. Cards have not been charged for the shipping or any additional items you included. I will charge cards closer to when fulfillment happens, likely in October. There are still 37 backers who have yet to complete their pledge. Please do so, as without a completed pledge manager I will not have your shipping address to send you your games!
🚢 Fulfillment Schedule
I hope that the games will be en route to the fulfillment hubs within the next 2-3 weeks. Once I approve the MPC, final assembly will occur which usually takes one week. Then, games will be off to their fulfillment hubs in the US, UK, and Asia. I anticipate being on schedule for fulfillment to begin in November 2026.
If you've lost your PM invite, click this link and follow the instructions to access it.
🎸 Custom Cards
If you ordered a custom card and have not completed the survey, please refer to your email with the link I sent to you to access the survey. These surveys must be completed so we can get your custom card drawn, printed, and shipped to us in time for fulfillment. If you cannot find your email, and you have not heard from me regarding your custom card, please email me (Chris) at [email protected].
