Hi everyone,

Hope you're all doing well!

First off, a huge thank you to everyone who has already completed their surveys. It's been great to see so many responses coming in, and we're just waiting on the last few so we can push forward with manufacturing. If you haven't filled yours out yet, please do so as soon as you can!

Artwork & Color Grading Update

I wanted to give you a heads-up on something that's caused a small, unexpected delay. I've been deep into the manufacturing process and learned a lot about color grading and how printed colors translate. As a result, I've had to rework a significant portion of the artwork and adjust the color schemes to ensure everything looks fantastic when it's printed. This was a necessary step to maintain the quality and "vibe" of the game, and I'm happy to report that it's more or less done now.

Rulebook & Website Additions

We're also in the final stages of finishing up the rulebook and getting it ready for test samples. My goal is to get it to a state I'm truly happy with before it goes to print.

Additionally, I've decided to add some specific interaction rules to our website. These won't be in the physical rulebook as they're more "deep cut" ways of playing that aren't necessary for general gameplay, but they do require clear rulings as they've come up a few times during testing. We'll be updating this section periodically, so if you have any questions once you receive the game, you'll be able to find answers there. We'll also include a QR code in the game to link directly to this page once it's finalized.

Shipping Costs to the USA

A few of you have reached out regarding the shipping costs to America, noting they seem a bit high. I wanted to address this directly. The main reason for this is due to tariffs being applied from China and additional charges from shipping companies for production. Since we're not shipping a huge volume of items, I haven't been able to secure any bulk discounts. These additional costs have been covered by a number of things, mainly from individual buyers, but also from my own pocket and some leftover funds.

Being based in Australia, high shipping costs are quite normal for us, so I initially didn't think too much of it. However, your feedback has brought to my attention that this isn't as common in the U.S., so I wanted to provide this explanation.

Design Your Own Card & New Art

Good news for the backer who pledged for the "design your own card" tier! I've been in contact with them, and we've started working on the design for their new card. This backer has opted to have their card added to the retail copies of the game, which means one of our current retail cards will become a campaign exclusive. I'm not sure which card that will be just yet, but I'll definitely keep you updated as the design progresses and we get a clearer idea. You'll also get some sneak peeks of the new artwork and quantities soon!

Speaking of artwork, we're just waiting on a few final drafts for the remaining pieces, including the Skeleton Flower, the winner of our recent poll. I've been busy working on those designs too.

Overall, things are moving forward smoothly, just a bit slower than anticipated!

Thanks for your continued patience and support.
