Project Update: Release Timeline
Thank you all so much! With your help, Going For Broke made it past the finish line! I'd love to share with you the timeline for what happens from this point forward.
Preorders: Now. For anyone who missed out on the Backerkit campaign, preorders are now live here.
Digital + DIY Kits: March. I aim to have the Digital + DIY Kits finished by the end of March. This is the zipped folder containing any PDFs and image files you need to either play virtually (over Zoom, Roll20, or similar) or print your own DIY set of cards at home. Every backer will be receiving a copy of this kit.
Print Production: March-April. Proofs have already been examined. The card and sleeve box layout files were just finalized. A few logistical details are being sorted out, and then the print run can begin.
Surveys: March 25. I am required to wait fourteen days for failed payments to be processed before I can send out backer surveys. Expect your survey to arrive on March 25. Completing your survey is mandatory - it's how I get the email and physical addresses I need to deliver your rewards!
PDF Rules: April. The rules are already available for free online, so you can learn how to play whenever you'd like. But right now, those rules are only available in-line on the page itself. That's not everyone's preferred mode of learning! The next step is to create a PDF version of the rules (which will also be available for free on that same page). I'm going to focus on this after all production and survey stuff has been sorted.
Surveys Close: April 13. Surveys will close mid-April, and at this point credit cards will be processed for all outstanding charges (your pledge has already been processed, so this will be taxes, shipping costs, and any post-campaign add-ons).
Product Receiving: May. Once printed, the card packs will be sent to distribution points in Canada, the United States, and the UK. I'm hoping they'll arrive in April, but this entirely depends on turnaround time at the printing facility plus international shipping time.
Product Shipping: May-June. I'm hoping to have the games sent out by the end of May. I'm hoping that everyone receives their copy by the end of June.
Now, all of this could change! It's common to encounter snags in production, shipping, packaging, and life. Maybe a box gets turned around at customs and it takes a month to sort out. Maybe I catch a nasty flu. Any of these dates could slide by a few weeks or months. Nothing above constitutes an ironclad promise. It's just the plan as it currently stands! But I'm hoping that it gives you a valuable frame of reference.
Thanks so much for supporting this project. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you have them.
