Dear Backers!

We’re excited to share that we’ve received the pre-production copy of Cat’s Gambit! Everything has been approved except for the rulebook. We’ve resubmitted several revisions, and we believe the latest version will be the final one. Once it’s approved, production will officially begin.

MSRP Update

Due to various factors (mainly tariffs and rising transportation costs), we’re adjusting the MSRP of Cat’s Gambit from $12 to $15. Similarly, Cat Sudoku: Summer Festival will increase from $15 to $18.
This will not affect you or anyone in pre-ordered. We’re announcing it now so that those purchasing after pre-orders will be aware of the change, if they read the update.

Fulfillment Plans

This time, our plan is to ship about 99% of orders directly from China. From our experience with Cat Sudoku: Summer Festival, splitting shipments between China and the U.S. helped in some ways, but the delays and logistical stress outweighed the benefits. By consolidating shipments, we expect a smoother and faster delivery process.

What’s New in the Box

We’ve polished both the box design and the cards. Every copy now includes the Queen Umbra expansion card. The paw token is bigger, cuter, and ready to make a statement on your table. We can’t wait for you to see (and play with) it!

Overall, Cat’s Gambit is in great shape, and we’re excited to get it into your hands soon. If you have any question, please make sure to let me know.

Thank you for reading the update!

Ta-Te and the Cat's Gambit team
