Hello everyone!

It's been a busy conclusion to the summer and things are beginning to wrap up for this campaign as well. We experienced a couple delays, but have now received the remainder of our shipment from the manufacturer (all 8700 lbs are present and accounted for.) We have also recently acquired all of the materials we need to get everything shipped out to you all, so with that, fulfillment has officially begun!

It's going to take us a bit of time to get everything boxed up and ready to go, but we are confident that we'll be able to get all the orders shipped out before the end of August. In the meantime, you should receive a secondary update to either fill out your survey if you have not yet done so, or to confirm your address before it is officially locked.

We are shipping everything through Backerkit, so you should automatically receive your tracking number when the shipping label is created. If you do not receive a tracking number by the end of August or if you have any other questions, feel free to shoot us a message and we'll get you sorted.

Thank you all again for your support and patience, you'll be hearing from us soon!

Hello everyone!

We are pleased to announce that the first wave of our shipment from the manufacturer has arrived and it all looks better than we hoped! We wanted to begin mailing them out before Gen Con, but they arrived literally the day before we leave so that was unlikely to happen. As such, if you happen to be at Gen Con then swing by our booth #2937 and grab your copy there! Otherwise, we will begin mailing them out on August 5th when we are back home again. To tide you over till then, here are some snazzy pictures.

Thank you once again for your support and we look forward to getting in your hands shortly!

After years of development and playtests, a successful campaign and a breeze of a manufacturing process, Duat will be finally be available to the general public for purchase and play at Gen Con 2025 (provided there are no shipping disasters from overseas).

Before then, we were hoping that some of you might consider giving Duat a boost in visibility on Board Game Geek in a couple ways:

BoardGameGeek's Gen Con preview
Each year BGG puts together a preview showcase for Gen Con of all the new games from various publishers, and that includes us! If you're so inclined, follow this link and give us a thumbs up.

Giving Duat a rating
If at some point you've gotten a chance to play Duat, consider leaving us a rating! We'll need 30 ratings before it can be given an average rating - if you're curious to know more, here's how the BGG rating system is intended to work.

Anyway, thank you all again - we'll be in touch soon when the production copy comes in. 
Till then!

Hello everyone!

I know it's been a while since our last update, but we appreciate your patience in the meantime. I'm sure most if not all of you are aware that the tariff situation in the US has been tumultuous at best, but fortunately we've got everything worked out thanks to our incredible manufacturer London Pendragon.

Timeline:
Everything has been going according to plan and the manufacturing process is drawing to a close! We'll receive our production copy sample within the next week and I can't wait to share pictures of how it all turned out.

The current plan is to split our shipment in half, where we'll receive the first batch at the end of July in time to fulfill your Backerkit orders and have some left over to sell at Gen Con!

What we need from you:
Before we can lock your orders in, you'll need to fill out a quick survey and confirm some details like your backed tier and shipping address. We sent out the surveys a few days ago and already have 60% completed, so we're off to a great start on that front! If circumstances have changed since you initially backed our project and you would like to cancel your order, you can do so at any time for a full refund - as long as you do so before we lock in the orders and begin printing labels and shipping them out. I'll post another update before we lock orders in, likely in the final week of July.

Shipping Details:
We've got shipping rates worked out for everywhere and it should be in your favor across the board. We love Duat, but being made of solid marble - it's a touch on the heavy side. To try and make it more affordable for you all, we'll be absorbing some of the cost of shipping. 

If you are local to Boston or would like to arrange pickup at Gen Con, select the local pickup option and we'll arrange the pickup afterwards. In Boston, we will have pickup locations available at Knight Moves Cafe in Brookline, as well as the Co-Operatives Puzzle Room in Quincy Market. As for Gen Con, just stop by our booth #2937 and claim your copies there.

If you have any questions about pledge fulfillment, local pickup, or anything else, just email us directly at [email protected].

Thank you all for your support and we'll be in touch soon!
