We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on March 11, 2012.

Shipped! And an appeal for ratings on boardgamegeek

Update #35 · Dec 29, 2012 · 2 comments

Hi all,

By now, you all should have received your games/prints/shirts, etc.  It has been a long process, and not without some bumps and bruises along the way, but we are confident that the product we have sent is high quality and worth your dollars of support.  Once again, thank you to all of you for making this possible.

If you are a member of www.boardgamegeek.com, or even if you aren't and can create a membership (it's free, and the best website for gaming related stuff!) we'd like to ask you to take the time to go to the Seven Sisters page (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/100172/seven-sisters) and rate the game, leave comments, etc.  Every rating that maintains our current 7.21 will bump us up a little farther in the overall board game ranks, and help us garner a little more attention.  So, I guess I'm being slightly selfish in asking you to help us out when you have so much already.  I seriously recommend boardgamegeek if you don't use the site already.  In fact, here is a reward for ranking Seven Sisters - if you haven't ranked it and do as a result of this update, let me know your username on BGG and I will send you 8 geekgold to buy a "Seven Sisters Fan" microbadge with.  If you aren't sure how to do that, I'll help you out.

I'm going to follow this post up within a couple days with a "The good, the bad, and the ugly" post about our Seven Sisters experience, and then in early January will have some exciting news about our next project!

Thanks,

Brent Cunningham & Leo Agosta, Owners, Wishing Tree Games

T-shirts

Update #34 · Dec 6, 2012 · comment

For those of you that ordered t-shirts, I got an email with a tracking number today from the printer.  They are on the way, and are scheduled to arrive on the 11th.  Your packages will go in the mail the same day if I get the shirts early in the day, or the next day at the latest.

We really appreciate all of you being so patient with us as we solved this unforeseen problem.  Next time, we know where to go, and what to look for in a printer.

Thanks,

Brent Cunningham & Leo Agosta

Almost there...

Update #33 · Nov 6, 2012 · comment

Almost everyone should have received their games and/or other items by now.  We've had delays in finding a printer for the t-shirts, but that is now handled, and t-shirts should be beginning production this week.  I have everything boxed up for everyone that added a shirt to their pledge, so as soon as I get them I should be able to just add the shirts to the box and get them out to you.

We really appreciate everyone's kindness and patience in dealing with the couple of delays that we've had.  This has been a long process, but we have learned a lot and will apply that to our future projects.

Thanks,

Brent Cunningham

Promo cards and shipping update

Update #32 · Oct 12, 2012 · 3 comments

Hi everyone!

I intended to put a slip with the promo cards to explain how to use them, but in my hurry to get them out, I totally forgot to do so.  Here is how they work:

Players may replace up to 4 wild cards in the deck with the promo cards.  If one (or more) are dealt, the player may choose to play the "Charity" card instead of influencing a sister.  The player still only plays 5 cards in a round out of the 6 he/she is dealt.  When playing a "Charity" card, instead of influencing a sister, place the card on the table, and take either 2 gold or 2 fruit from the supply.

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions!

Shipping update:  As of tomorrow morning, all $45 reward levels will have both the game and the promo cards (if you didn't get them with the game) shipped.  I am working closely with a t-shirt company to get the shirts done, and levels including a t-shirt will ship as soon as I have the shirts.  I apologize for the delay with the shirts, but I want to make sure they are done correctly and look good.  Anyone above the $45 level that doesn't include a t-shirt will have their item(s) shipped early next week.  I sincerely appreciate you patience while I get this problem addressed.

-Brent

Update on shipping

Update #31 · Sep 27, 2012 · 7 comments

Hi all,

I really appreciate your patience with the shipping.  Right now due to issues that we didn't see coming, I'm a one-man operation...but I'm moving as fast as I can to get everyone their games.

I am having communication issues with the t-shirt company, so I am trying to get those resolved so I can get the shirts printed.  I am going ahead with shipping the games and other items to those that pledged for t-shirts, and I'll ship the shirts as soon as I have them too.  This was definitely an un-foreseen issue, as the company was very communicative until I asked for a quote.

We do greatly appreciate your support, and if you have any questions, please send me a message.

Thanks,

Brent
