📝 Surveys Are Being Sent! ☑️
Surveys are just about ready to send out! The survey is the opportunity for you to choose your rewards, provide your shipping address, and other info for shipping your game. Sorry for the delay, we were securing discounted shipping costs for the EU and AU/NZ. The only thing left before we send surveys out is a short review from Backerkit to make sure all the bells and whistles are correct.
Expect to receive an email about surveys by next weekend (3/1). If you are having trouble finding it, please reach out via email to [email protected]!
🌊 A Look Beneath the Waves of H2O-NO Expansion Pack! 🦕
H2O-NO! is making a splash in Lava Run! This wild expansion throws towering tsunamis and unpredictable floods into the race to escape the erupting volcano. With game-changing tiles, additional rules, and four new daring dinosaurs, no path is safe for long. Can you outrun the lava before the rising waters sweep you away?
Let's take a deeper look at 3 of the new 9 tiles added in H2O-NO:
Overflow - All players must immediately play every hostile tile in their hands before redrawing back up to 4 tiles. Any event tiles not played must remain in the players hands.
Geyser - These tiles can be played on an empty square. Any dino ending their turn on a Geyser must move 1 additional square in any direction. Geyser tiles can only be covered by a Pit Tile, and cannot be covered up by a lava flow or boulder.
Flood - Every player must return all lava flow tiles into the volcano and re-draw back up to 4 tiles.
We've still got a lot of dinos and volcanos to crochet! Join me live on Sunday's over on my Crochet YouTube channel, Club Crochet, to crochet a few dinos live. You can give suggestions, ask any questions about the project, or just hang-out and crochet along with me! The first stream will start this Sunday (2/23) at 3pm PST.
DINO SIZED NEWS — the Lava Run games are finally on their way from the manufacturer! Fulfillment is beginning ASAP, and we’re expecting games to be delivered throughout July and August (depending on where you're at). I can’t thank you enough for your patience. I know it’s been a wait, but the dinos actually got onto the raft and are officially paddling your way!
💳 What to Expect Next
Just a heads up: credit cards will be charged tomorrow for shipping and handling (as noted in your original survey).
Expect another update when we begin fulfillment next month and when your game has been shipped!
🧶 Bonus Minigurumi Patterns Just for Backers!
As a mini thank-you, I’ve created two bonus crochet patterns: a Mini Goblin and a Gnome Rider (plus a tiny harness to saddle them up!). I'm also working on mini versions for the dinos and more mini riders... because apparently, I'm now addicted to making these little dudes too.
While Lava Run was brewing, I was quietly tinkering with something new behind the seams... Let’s just say a new way to play Lava Run might be in the works 👀 And that’s not all — there’s a brand new Craftable game on the horizon too. I can’t wait to share more with you soon!
Thanks so much for reading, I can't express to you enough my appreciation for your support and patience I'll update you soon when fulfillment begins!
Hello dino friends! Apologies for the radio silence lately – it’s not because we were trapped in amber or swallowed by lava (thankfully), but because we were hoping for more solid ground before sending out an update. Unfortunately, we’re still caught mid-eruption – so here’s the latest from the Lava Run front lines!
Lava Run Is Ready… But Tariffs Said Not So Fast! 😤🌋
Our games are all packed and ready to rumble, but shipping costs have suddenly erupted – we're talking 8x higher than what we were originally quoted. This is due to the new chaotic tariff changes and, more frustratingly, because our shipment was hitching a ride with a larger cargo order that has now hit the brakes until things (hopefully) calm down.
We're exploring every possible workaround, including alternative fulfillment options, but the current plan is to wait just a bit longer in hopes that shipping rates stabilize.
Trust me – I know how frustrating this is. I want nothing more than to get these dinos out of the nest and into your hands. 😢 I’m doing everything I can to make that happen as soon as possible.
Shipping Still Covered – No Extra Cost to You 🧡📦
Despite the extra shipping costs, we’re covering everything on our end. You won’t be charged anything additional. Lava Run should still be on track for June or July delivery, but that may shift depending on how things unfold. I’ll keep you posted every step of the way.
You should see the original shipping charges come through this week or next if you have filled out the survey.
Too Impatient to Wait? Craft Your Own Lava Run! ✂️🦖
If your inner dino is getting antsy, remember the Craftable Version is still ready for action! You can print the full game board, tile sets, dino tokens (in color and color-in options), and even the new chaotic H2O-NO Expansion Pack – complete with hurricanes, tar pits, and splashy surprises.
Plus, we’ve got crochet dino tutorials and bonus files to keep your claws busy until the real thing arrives!
Thanks again for your patience and understanding during this unexpected twist. You’ve all been so supportive, and it means the world to this tiny dino wrangler. 🧡
If you have any questions, ideas, or just want to vent with another lava-stuck dino, feel free to reach out at [email protected]. I’ll be back with another update very soon!
