Latest Updates from Our Project:

Freight Update #6, Fulfillment Update #3
over 1 year ago – Mon, Nov 21, 2022 at 08:43:57 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 Indonesia, your games have already left to Monopolis. They will be doing the fulfillment for you. It usually takes about 5-6 weeks from now to get to the HUB. From there your games will be picked and packed and sent out to you. If you are in Thailand, your games have already left to Our Games Trading Co Ltd. They will be doing the fulfillment for you. It usually takes about 5-6 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 and you have not received your game yet, please let us know. We'll take care of you. It will still be some time before we need to talk about New Zealand missing packages. But stay tuned. 

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

Your games are still estimated to arrive in Barcelona on November 24th. That is 3 days from now. How exciting! They usually take only a few days to get to France from there. And Surfin' Meeple is very good at getting games moving once they are there. Good news for our Italian language backers, the games have already made it to France and will ship with the rest of the games going out to EU backers.

German, Spanish, and Czech Games

If you are a Czech backer and you've yet to receive your game, please make sure that you contact Tlama Games to let them know. I'm waiting to hear good news from our German and Spanish partners. I will update you soon.

UK

The games are expected to hit land on December 13th. Once I hear from GamesQuest about receiving the games I will let you know what the plan is for fulfillment.

North America/South America/Central America

Well, I got an update today that says that out games won't hit the port until December 1st. My fingers are crossed that this is going to be the final date that I give you and that once they land they will be sent quickly to PSI to begin fulfilment.

Holiday Cards

Again, if you planned on giving 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 you very soon!

That is all for today Wizards!

Freight Update #5, Fulfillment Update #2
over 1 year ago – Tue, Nov 15, 2022 at 07:48:16 PM

Hello Wizards,

Today I have only a couple of updates for you. But I thought it would be important to give you this information. Here we go.

VFI Fulfillment to Asia and the Rest of the World

VFI is still working on your fulfillment. There was some really weird communication to us from VFI a few days ago that lead us to believe that your games to Japan had shipped and that Amuri would be fulfilling them. In fact, they had been testing out a new system to communicate with backers about this, and oddly I got this email. Then I received a message from Amuri saying that they have no idea about the campaign and have not been informed regarding your games. Needless to say, eventually your games will be shipped out to Japan, and I will let you know when that is. My apologies for sending along this misinformation. 

If you are in the Philippines, the Gaming Library will be fulfilling your games. They should get there within the next 3-4 weeks. If you are in India Vibrant Hobbies LLP will be fulfilling your games. Your games should get to India within the next 4-5 weeks. I will keep you updated as I get more information.

Since some of you should be getting your games soon, you might need to receive a replacement part. Please see below for this information.

Australia and New Zealand

Many of you are receiving your games! That is great news. If you haven't received it yet, I wouldn't worry. You will be getting your game soon. Please see below for information on replacement parts. 

For Other Regions

Please see our previous update to find out about your games.

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.

Today Is the Day!

We've finally launched Maple Valley!! We're so excited for you to join us. Click on the image below to take you to the campaign.

Freight Update #4, Fulfillment Update #1
over 1 year ago – Wed, Nov 09, 2022 at 10:24:20 PM

Hello Wizards,

Some really great news for you today! Let's get right down to it.

VFI Fulfillment to Asia and the Rest of the World

Fulfillment has begun! It looks like HUB shipments are leaving as we speak. If you are in Japan, your games have already left to Amuri. 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. If you are in South Korea, your games have already left to BoardM. 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. 

Other games are going out as we speak.

Australia and New Zealand

It looks like Aetherworks has received your games and is beginning to ship them out. At least according to one backer. I never know with Aetherworks, because they don't send out notifications.

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

Your games are still estimated to arrive in Barcelona on November 24th. Once they arrive, we'll be able to give you an accurate timeline for shipping. I have already submitted all of the information they will need to get your games to you.

Italian, German, Spanish, and Czech Games

Good news for our Italian backers. It is looking like your air-shipped games will arrive in France before the container that we sent weeks ago. Once the games get to Surfin Meeple, they will begin fulfillment to you. And it seems that the Czech games have already reached their destination and fulfillment has begun. There are no changes to the German and Spanish games yet. I will keep you posted.

UK

Unfortunately, a ship couldn't be booked before November 15th. We're just going with the flow here. We have very little control over this. The games are expected to hit land on December 13th. I can tell you without hesitation that they will not be picked and packed before the holidays. That means a January fulfillment date. I'm so sorry about this. It was definitely not my plan to have this take so long. 

North America/South America/Central America

It looks like your games are still slated to land on November 12th. This is good news. We're hoping to get them to PSI as soon as we can, to get fulfillment started before the holidays. PSI already has everything they need from us for fulfillment, and they have done this with us many, many times. So we should be ready to go ASAP. 

Holiday Cards

Again, if you planned on giving 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 you very soon!

What We're Up To

The Maple Valley Kickstarter campaign launches in 6 days! Have you signed up yet?

Freight Update #3
over 1 year ago – Tue, Nov 01, 2022 at 12:54:57 AM

Hello Wizards,

Again, I know it hasn't been a month since I last updated you, but I want to make sure that you are always aware of where we are with freight and fulfillment.

VFI Fulfillment to Asia and the Rest of the World

We are getting close to beginning fulfillment. I have submitted the backer report to VFI. I have asked them to begin fulfillment ASAP. I will update you soon with a timeline. 

Australia and New Zealand

Your games are still headed to Australia. I will let you know when they have landed at Aetherworks.

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

Your games are getting there. They were picked up two weeks ago, but it looks like the ship just departed. The estimated arrival date in Barcelona is November 24th. This means another few days to France and then another couple of weeks before they get to you. We have our fingers crossed that you will get your games before the winter holidays. We will keep you updated with a more accurate timeline soon. 

Italian, German, Spanish, and Czech Games

Your games are getting closer to you. Just yesterday I was asked for the backer report from our Czech partner. Of course, I have shared all of the backer reports with our respective language localization partners. They are all getting ready to fulfill your games to you.  As you know we had a bit of an issue with our Italian partnership. Those games will have a short delay. We will keep you up to date with info.

UK

It seems like it is taking forever to get your games on a boat (I've been trying for many, many weeks). The staff at GamesQuest has turned over, and it's caused many delays. I am sure that we aren't the only ones. On that note, your games have been booked on a boat. Hopefully they will be picked up and will land on the dates we were given. I will be back with more information soon about dates.

North America/South America/Central America

Your games are on the following boat:

CARRIER: EVERGREEN LINE

VOYAGE: 1170-010E

VESSEL: EVER FUTURE

PORT OF LANDING: Savannah, GA

Originally the boat was scheduled to get to Atlanta (where our fulfillment partner is) on November 16th. But the update I just received has it landing on December 3rd. While it is likely that US backers will get their games before the winter holidays, it is unlikely that anyone else from this region will. I am so very sorry for this. But we cannot control that side of things. 

If you planned on giving 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. 

What We're Up To

The Maple Valley Kickstarter campaign launches in 15 days! Have you signed up yet?

That is all for today Wizards!

Freight Update #2
over 1 year ago – Mon, Oct 17, 2022 at 07:58:09 PM

Hello Wizards,

I know it isn't a month since I last updated you, but I wanted to let you know where we are with freight. There is good news, and there is great news! Which one do you want to hear first? Just kidding. It's all good, so here we go.

VFI Fulfillment to Asia and the Rest of the World

Your games were picked up. We're excited to say that they are sorting through them and working on our backer report. We are getting the final details together for our retailer backers and will have your invoices out to you soon. I will update you soon with a timeline. But your games will be the first to go out. 

Australia and New Zealand

I am excited to tell you that your games have also been picked up and are headed to Australia as we speak. Since Australia is the next closest region, your games will go out second. This does not mean soon. It means second. I will come back to you with a timeline as well. 

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

Your games are getting there. We're waiting for them to be picked up. The typical time it takes to get them to France (where they are fulfilled from) is 3 weeks. So, we'll be back with a timeline for you as well. We are still expecting you to get your games in November.

Italian, German, and Czech Games

Your games have all been picked up. They are on their way to their respective countries. I will let you know when they land, and what their proposed fulfillment schedules are. We are still expecting you to get your games in November.

Spanish Games

Your games have just been organized to get on a boat. I don't have exact details yet, but I will soon. Stay tuned! We are still expecting you to get your games in November.

North America/South America/Central America

Your games have been on a boat for about a week and a half. These days it's been taking between 5 and 7 weeks to get to PSI who will be doing fulfillment. This means that I expect the games to land in 3-5 weeks. So they will definitely be there in November. Hopefully we'll get them out to you in November as well. We will update you with a date for landing ASAP.

____________________________________________

We promise to update you all the way through fulfillment of your games. We can't wait to get them to you!!

____________________________________________

What We're Up To

You might of heard of a little game called Creature Comforts, that was delivered to backers at the beginning of 2022. Creature Comforts is an incredible game that has been doing very well at retail (they  sold out in 9 days), and is just restocking next week. If you don't have it yet, you should definitely check it out here. 

But that's not all we've been up to. Creature Comforts is getting a sequel! Launching on November 15th, the Maple Valley Kickstarter campaign promises to be as much fun to be a backer, as it will be to play the game. As a Power Plants backer, you know how much fun our campaigns can be. So, make sure to sign up for a launch notification!
