Project Update: April 2026: Phase 1 Domestic Shipping & What's Next

What's Shipping Now (Phase 1)
Phase 1 US domestic shipping is currently being processed by our fulfillment partner.

If you received your package and something seems off or missing - please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can address this. There are a few missing components or incorrect component messages we have gotten along the way - these will be addressed as soon as we receive our replacement/extra components. But if you have one of these concerns, let us know right away via email.  

This includes:
  • Magic Socks expansion
  • Theme packs (Cuddles, Cryptids, Dinos)
  • Upgraded components (wooden bowls, yarn tokens, playmats)
  • ArchRavels Base Game (if you ordered one)

If you ordered any combination of the above and are located in the US, your package is either on its way or will be shipping soon. Orders are going out in batches, so if yours hasn't shipped yet, it's coming. We did have to send more copies of the ArchRavels Base Game to fulfillment, so if your order includes the Base Game and it has not shipped yet, that is why. We expect that they will arrive with them this week.

International shipping details will be coming in a future update - We're going to be hand-picking, packing, & shipping these due to the volume & volatility of international shipping. 


What's Coming Later (Phase 2)
As previously mentioned, we split the fulfillment of this campaign into 2 phases. The 2nd phase will ship later this year and will include items that were not covered in Phase 1. 

These items are not in your Phase 1 package — they're still in production:
  • Rivals! (mini expansion)
  • Award Season (mini expansion)
  • Gametrayz Card sleeves & Sample packs

Both Rivals! & Award Season have been submitted to our manufacturer and are moving through proofing now. We are also waiting to receive the Gametrayz materials. We're targeting later this year for Phase 2 shipments. We'll share a more specific window once we're through proofing and into production.

Phase 2 will ship separately at no additional shipping cost to you. You will not be charged again for shipping.


A Note on Tracking
Tracking emails are being sent as orders ship, but some of you may have received your package before getting a tracking notification — or not received one at all. Orders are going out in batches and tracking numbers follow as they're processed.

If you haven't received your package and don't have a tracking number, email us at [email protected] and we'll look into it.

What's Next
  • Phase 1 domestic shipments continue rolling out
  • International shipping details coming in a future update - We are going to be hand-picking, packing, and shipping these due to the volatility of international shipping. 
  • Phase 2 production updates as we have them

I've run out of ways to sign off these messages ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We're still here. We're still grinding on finishing this up. Everyone involved with XYZ really appreciates those of you who have expressed your empathy, understanding, and patience as we work through all of this.  It's honestly the only reason we've kept going here.  

Stay Crafty,
Team XYZ

PS: If you have an issue, please email us ([email protected]); if you just mention it in the comments here, I promise it will likely be missed.

The box for Magic Socks says" ArchRavels Magic Socks components are designed to fit in that base game box." How are we packing this into the box? Maybe it's just me, but I'm really not seeing how it's all going to incorporate nicely into my deluxe copy from the original Kickstarter campaign?

I was so excited to get the expansions today. after waiting yeas to get it. I noticed rattling, New Games do not rattle like that. Your pieces are in protective cardstock/cardboard; So the shipping dose not damage your pieces or box. excitement turned to concern... indeed all the no protective card WTF why would you waste time & money paying someone to pop them out and potentially having to replace them for your customers.? I am in tears ... my favorite part of a new game stolen pieces everywhere. I truly hope when the rest shows up that the pieces are in there PROTECTIVE CARD like they should be. Arch Ravels was one of my favorite games I keep getting disappointed. Hank the Gnome loos to be a Gonk to me they are similar but different. Gnomes and gonks are often mistaken for one another due to their similar bearded, hat-wearing appearances, but they stem from different cultural roots and serve distinct decorative and symbolic roles. While both are whimsical, small humanoid figures associated with good luck and seasonal charm, gnomes are Central European German folklore, typically depicted with full facial features and garden tools. Gonks come from Scandinavian tradition, characterized by hidden faces with only the nose visible beneath oversized hats. Understanding their differences enhances appreciation for both.

I got my shipmen today but inside was just the add-on playmat. Is there another package for the two missing Mini-Expansions: Award Season and Rivals?

I was curious if the Dized Tutorial will get an update with the new content.
