Come say hello to Charming Games at booth #2569!
Clicking 'Interested' on BGG on the demos and games we're bringing helps a lot!
Note that we will have retail copies of Otter at Gen Con, but no deluxe edition like you are getting. You're special! But if you did want to grab a retail copy while you're there, you can add it to the deluxe edition to play the game with 8 players!

🦦Production🦦
Meanwhile, I'm happy to say that 2000 decks of Otter and 1000 playmats are done being manufactured. The deluxe box and plushie still have another month or so. Everything is coming together as fast as I can work!
🦦Tariff🦦
And the elephant in the room we need to mention is the tariffs to America.
At the moment, the 145% tariffs are within range for us to eat the cost and send you the pledges at the shipping rates projected. I'll open the PM as close to the shipping date as possible to make sure everything is good, and I'll keep everything transparent as things develop.
The goal is to have Otter and Doom Cat finished and shipped out before Capybara Crush launches. It's ambitious, but I'll try my best! Thank you for believing in us! You're the best! 💜

Project Update: 🦦Funding, Production, Fulfillment! 🦦
Yay! We funded 24000% of our goal! Thank you soooo much for believing in Otter!
I'm exhausted and I'll write a full blog later, but I wanted to leave a quick note here.
Production of Otter started a few weeks ago, and shipping prices were made with future tariffs in mind, so no big disruption for us.
My heart pains for others in the game industry, and beyond, who are facing the possible end of their dreams. 😔
If you have any questions, feel free to write below or PM me. I have a busy week ahead finishing production tasks, but I'm here to keep communication transparent and flowing!
