🦥 December Update — Final Art files have been submitted!
Great news! All the final files for Surplus of Sloths have officially been submitted to the manufacturer! 🎉 It has taken far longer than any of us hoped, but we’re finally across this major milestone.
Our manufacturer has told us they expect to complete production by the end of February, which puts us on track to deliver your games in April!
Thanks so much again for hanging in there. 2025 has not been a good year for us, we're so excited to make 2026 way better.
If you like reading ahead, dreaming of strategies, or just enjoying adorable sloths while you wait… they’re ready for you!
📦 Final Box & Components
We’re thrilled with how the game physically came together.
Box Cover + Back – Final artwork is complete and looks fantastic!

Box Back
Sloth Cards – We decided to go with 2” x 3.5” cards for the sloths. They feel great in hand, have a bigger impact on the table, and really help the artwork shine.
All the Sloths!
First Player Sloth Meeple! – Every game will now include an adorable big Sloth Meeple as the first player marker. It's going to be 30mm tall!
Cute Sloth Meeple for the first player!
🛡️ Surplus of Sleeves!
We heard from many of you that finding sleeves in this size can be tricky… so we’re solving it!
We’ll have custom Surplus of Sleeves available in the pledge manager—perfectly sized to fit Surplus of Sloths (and any other 2” x 3.5” cards, though that size isn’t super common). More details soon!
SLEEEEEEVES!
The Rest of the Work:
Over the next month we're working to open up the pledge manager, get the final files submitted to the enamel pin manufacturer and get that started. There's not much more to do before it gets to you!
🚚 Shipping to you
We’re partnering with a fantastic new fulfillment team who has tons of experience delivering games worldwide. Over the next few weeks we’ll be working closely with them to finalize everything and get the pledge manager launched.
❤️ Thank You Again for Your Patience
It’s getting much, much closer, and we couldn’t be more grateful for your support along the way. We know this project has taken longer than expected, and we truly appreciate your patience, kindness, and enthusiasm. We are now firmly in the final stretch and cannot wait to get Surplus of Sloths into your hands!
More updates coming soon—thank you for sticking with us 🦥💚
Merry Christmas to all the Slothy Sloths. Stay warm out there,
