Shipping soon 🎉📦
Hi friends,
I'll keep this short: we're getting CLOSE. Here's an update on when you should expect your copy to ship:
🇺🇸 - US copies arriving at the fulfillment center TOMORROW...
Hello! We're so thrilled to be sharing Daybreak with you, whether this is your first crowdfunded game, or you've been along for the ride with us through Monikers, Wavelength, and more.
What brought you to the page? And would love to hear what you're most excited about!
I'm disappointed that I backed this project and paid shipping and still haven't received the game. It's now available on Amazon for the same price as my pledge with free shipping and delivery tomorrow.
Daybreak was just nominated for the prestigious Kennerspiel des Jahres!!
Daybreak's German title is e-Mission and is published there by Schmidt Spiele
This is one of the biggest awards in boardgames, and we're 1 of 3 games to have made the shortlist! Matt has a second game on the shortlist (Ticket To Ride Legacy), so we especially like his chances 🙃
Also, we're also a finalist for Best Board Game Award at the 2024 Games for Change festival!
How cool is that?? If you've been enjoying Daybreak, consider giving it a rating on BGG? And we just got new copies in at Amazon and CMYK, so if you're looking for extras or gifts, you can get them there!
Three more quick things…
📦 The box replacements that folks requested are shipping NOW. So you should be getting yours soon. West coast US folks, you might have already received them, even.
♟️ Later this month, Matteo will demo Daybreak, facilitate a chess-hacking workshop, and be on a panel about an upcoming book on games and politics. If you're in London, you should go!
🏫 And finally, from a high school teacher in Boulder, CO:
We ended up getting 20 copies for two classrooms and spent 3 days learning and playing Daybreak. It was a rich experience for the students. All told, over 300 students played the game and were stoked to be able to do so in class. It really brought in a lot of topics (resilience, value of research, investment, women's rights, geoengineering, policy issues) into discussion that don't usually make it into the climate discussion. You should know that making and sharing this is making a difference and opening up perspectives for kids about the future.
