Final Freight & Shipping Update, What We're Up To
about 1 year ago – Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 08:20:23 AM

Hello Wizards,

It is has been some time since our last update to you. We thought we'd let you know where things stand and what we're up to. 

Power Plants Freight and Shipping

Other than a few stragglers because of remote shipping areas, we are all done sending out your games. If you have not received your game yet, please first check to see if you have competed your BackerKit survey. Once you've confirmed that you have filled it out and your credit card has been charged, then you should contact us. If you ordered a Spanish game, please contact GenX Games. If you ordered a Czech game, please contact Tlama Games. If you ordered a German game, please contact Skellig Games. 

If you ordered an English game and you are in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, UK, or North America and you have not received your game yet, please contact us here; we'll look into it for you. If you are anywhere else in the world and you have not received your game, please continue to be patient. Your game is coming. 

Replacement Parts/Missing Games

We will do everything we can to make sure that you get a complete game. If you are missing parts or if components are not correct, please let us know.

If you are in Europe and you ordered an English or French game, please contact Surfin' Meeple.  If you ordered a Spanish game and there is something missing/broken, or you do not have your game yet, please contact GenX Games: [email protected]. If you ordered a Czech game and there is something missing/broken, or you do not have your game yet, please contact Tlama Games: [email protected]. If you ordered a German game and there is something missing/broken, or you do not have your game yet, please contact Skellig Games here. Anywhere else in the world, please contact [email protected] and we'll take care of you.

Let the World Know What You Think

I cannot tell you how important your rating of Power Plants is to its retail release on February 8th. Currently Power Plants is sitting at #5013, with very few ratings. We've moved up over 1200 spots since our last update. This is fantastic! Imagine where we could be if all 2307 backers would rate it!

Please help us create some buzz so that we can see some strong retail sales when the game is released. Rate Power Plants on BoardGameGeek.com here. If you don't have a BGG account, don't worry. It's so easy to create one. They never use your information for anything outside of the website. So, if you are able, please give Power Plants your honest rating. It would be great to get it to move higher in the rankings.

What's Next For Us

The Maple Valley BackerKit is now open for pre-orders. Maple Valley is the sequel to our smash hit, Creature Comforts. Check it out NOW!!

Next, we have not one, but two amazing games on the horizon. Both are super secret. But we can tell you that we are going to release one game straight to retail and the other will be a really awesome Kickstarter next Fall (in the Northern Hemisphere)!

Finally, many of you know that we have a sibling company called Burnt Island Games. From time to time we partner with Grand Gamers Guild to bring to the world Endeavor games. Coming April 25th to Gamefound, we announce Endeavor: Deep Sea. 

Click on the image to follow Endeavor: Deep Sea!
  • 1-4 Players
  • 80 min play time
  • 14+

Endeavor: Deep Sea is designed by Jarratt Gray and Carl de Visser, the same creative team behind the smash hit Endeavor: Age of Sail. This edition is set in a new era of nautical discovery, using streamlined rules which will be familiar to fans of the original game. In Deep Sea, you will head an independent research institute with the goal of developing sustainable projects and preserving the fragile balance of marine life. You will recruit field experts and use their abilities to explore new locations, research dive sites, publish critical ecological journals, and launch conservation efforts. You will expand your expertise, develop your team, and learn as much as possible about the sea. The actions you take now could mean a healthy ocean and a sustainable future for the planet! Follow Endeavor: Deep Sea for a launch date reminder here.

That is all for today Wizards!

Freight Update #10, Fulfillment Update #7
about 1 year ago – Fri, Jan 06, 2023 at 01:22:26 AM

Hello Wizards,

Another brief update to let you know where we are with freight and fulfillment. Let's get to it!

VFI Fulfillment to Asia and the Rest of the World

Fulfillment continues. It is completed in some regions while others are still waiting for the games to arrive. Thank you all for your patience. If you are in Taiwan, your games should arrive any day now. You games are being sent to you by Mr. Dexker Games. You can contact them here: [email protected].

Australia and New Zealand

Aetherworks has completed shipping to your region. If you are in Australia or New Zealand and you have not received your game yet, please let us know. We'll take care of you.

EU and Europe, But Not German, Czech, or Spanish Games

Surfin' Meeple has completed fulfillment. If you have not received your game, please contact us and let us know. We'll look into it for you.

German, Spanish, and Czech Games

If you are waiting for a Spanish game, your games have shipped already. If you have not received a game yet and you are in Spain, please contact GenX (information below). If you are not in Spain, but requested a Spanish game, your game should arrive soon. Please be patient as it ships to you; shipping times vary, but often take a long time coming from Spain. If you backed for a German game, your games have been shipped by Skellig. If you have not received it yet, please contact them directly (information below). If you are a Czech backer and you have yet to receive your game, please make sure that you contact Tlama Games to let them know.

UK

The games have cleared customs. They should have arrived two days ago at GamesQuest. I am waiting for confirmation of that. Once I hear from them I will let you know what the plan is for fulfillment. 

North America/South America/Central America

Great news! Canada, your pallets are finally in Canada at Universal Distribution. They will begin fulfillment ASAP. Thank you so very much for your amazing patience. You've been incredibly kind to us. If you are in the US, Central/South America, your games have shipped already. If you are in the US and have not received your game, please let us know. If you are in Central or South America, it still may take some time.

Let the World Know What You Think

I cannot tell you how important your rating of Power Plants is to the life of the game after Kickstarter. Unfortunately we missed the Christmas season for sales (often small publishers, such as us, rely on their Christmas sales to help them through the year). Currently Power Plants is sitting at #6213, with very few ratings. This means we've moved up thousands of spots. This is fantastic! Imagine where we could be if all 2307 backers would rate it!

Please help us create some buzz so that we can see some strong retail sales when the game is released in February. Rate Power Plants on BoardGameGeek.com here. If you don't have a BGG account, don't worry. It's so easy to create one. They never use your information for anything outside of the website. So, if you are able, please give Power Plants your honest rating. It would be great to get it to move higher in the rankings.

Replacement Parts/Missing Games

We will do everything we can to make sure that you get a complete game. If you are missing parts or if components are not correct, please let us know.

Freight Update #9, Fulfillment Update #6
over 1 year ago – Sat, Dec 17, 2022 at 03:49:58 PM

Hello Wizards,

Another brief update to let you know where we are with freight and fulfillment. Let's get to it!

VFI Fulfillment to Asia and the Rest of the World

Fulfillment continues. It is completed in some regions while others are still waiting for the games to arrive. Thank you all for your patience.

Australia and New Zealand

Aetherworks has completed shipping to your region. If you are in Australia or New Zealand and you have not received your game yet, please let us know. We'll take care of you.

EU and Europe, But Not German, Czech, or Spanish Games

Surfin' Meeple has begun fulfillment. They tell me that all orders have been processed and are going out as we speak. Please be patient as your games go out. The more remote the region, the longer it takes to get there.

German, Spanish, and Czech Games

If you are waiting for a Spanish game, your games have begun to ship. If you have not received it yet, this is normal. It takes some time. If you are not in Spain, but requested a Spanish game, your game will arrive after this time. Please be patient as it ships to you; shipping times vary, but often take a long time coming from Spain. If you backed for a German game, your games have been shipped by Skellig. If you have not received it yet, please contact them directly (information below). If you are a Czech backer and you have yet to receive your game, please make sure that you contact Tlama Games to let them know.

UK

The games are in the UK and are just about to clear customs. They are getting ready to book transport from the port to GamesQuest. Once they get there, I will give you a better idea of what to expect for fulfillment.

North America/South America/Central America

Great news! Canada, your pallets are on their way to Canada. If you are in the US, Central/South America, your games are going to begin shipping next week. PSI is fairly certain that they will get 90% done by the end of the week. I'm pushing for 100%. I'll be back with more information soon!

Freight Update #8, Fulfillment Update #5
over 1 year ago – Fri, Dec 09, 2022 at 09:54:03 PM

Hello Wizards,

Another brief update to let you know where we are with freight and fulfillment. Let's get to it!

VFI Fulfillment to Asia and the Rest of the World

If you are in Malaysia, your games have already left to Kohii Games. They will be doing the fulfillment for you. It usually takes about 2-3 weeks from now to get to the HUB. From there your games will be picked and packed and sent out to you.

Australia and New Zealand

Aetherworks has completed shipping to your region. If you are in Australia or New Zealand and you have not received your game yet, please let us know. We'll take care of you.

EU and Europe, But Not German, Czech, or Spanish Games

There was a brief delay moving your games. BUT, Surfin' Meeple tells me that they will arrive early next week. They are very good at getting fulfillment started quickly. They have had our information for some time, so they will be ready to go when the games get there. Yay!

German, Spanish, and Czech Games

If you are waiting for a Spanish game, your games were still held up at customs. The new ETA is early next week. If you are in Spain you will receive your games very soon. If you are not in Spain, but requested a Spanish game, your game will arrive after this time. Please be patient as it ships to you; shipping times vary, but often take a long time coming from Spain. If you backed for a German game, your games have been shipped by Skellig. If you have not received it yet, please contact them directly (information below). If you are a Czech backer and you have yet to receive your game, please make sure that you contact Tlama Games to let them know.

UK

The games are still expected to hit land on December 13th. The plan for fulfillment will follow a notification from them that they have received the games.

North America/South America/Central America

Great news! Your games have arrived at PSI. Unfortunately the pre-packed pallets bound for Canada were unpacked and therefore had to be repacked. That happened this week. They will head to Universal's freight forwarder ASAP. Sometimes you can be perfectly prepared, but a wrench gets thrown in your plans. PSI will simultaneously ship out games to US, Mexico, Central, and South America starting next week. I will give you more details when I have them.

Let the World Know What You Think

Click on the image to take you there!

While many of you are beginning to get Power Plants to the table, we know you'll are also forming an opinion about it. This opinion will help us create some buzz so that we can see retail sales (currently planned for February 2023, once everyone has their games). A way to create that buzz is to rate Power Plants on BoardGameGeek.com. You can do that here. If you don't have a BGG account, don't worry. It's so easy to create one. They never use your information for anything outside of the website. So, if you are able, please give Power Plants your honest rating. It would be great to get it to move higher in the rankings.

Replacement Parts

We will do everything we can to make sure that you get a complete game. If you are missing parts or if components are not correct, please let us know.

If you are in Europe (except Czech, Spanish, German, or Italian games - this information is forthcoming), please contact Surfin' Meeple. Anywhere else in the world, please contact [email protected] and we'll take care of you.

Holiday Cards

If you have planned to give Power Plants as a holiday gift to someone, we'll be creating a holiday card that you can use to spring the news on them. I know I promised it to you this week. But our Maple Valley campaign and being at PAX Unplugged really took up a good chunk of time. We will definitely have it for you soon.

That is all for today Wizards!

VFI Fulfillment to Asia and the Rest of the World

German, Spanish, and Czech Games

If you are waiting for a Spanish game, your games have been held up at customs. The new ETA is December 5th, which means they will be at the warehouse by the 9th. If you are in Spain you will receive your games the week of the 15th. If you are not in Spain, but requested a Spanish game, your game will arrive after this time. Please be patient as it ships to you; shipping times vary, but often take a long time coming from Spain.

They tell me that they have a few games that need sending out before they begin the fulfillment for Power Plants. I am waiting for more information. Once I have it, I will let you know. If you are a Czech backer and you have yet to receive your game, please make sure that you contact Tlama Games to let them know.

The games are still expected to hit land on December 13th. The plan for fulfillment will follow a notification from them that they have received the games.

Holiday Cards

If you have planned to give Power Plants as a holiday gift to someone, we'll be creating a holiday card that you can use to spring the news on them. I will have it for next week!
