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

A new game from Wishing Tree Games

Update #30 · Aug 14, 2012 · 2 comments

Hi all...I just wanted to take a moment to briefly talk about Wishing Tree Games' latest project, Zombiepocalypse: NYC.  We just launched a kickstarter campaign for the game, so if you are interested, here is the link:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1621311313/zombiepocalypse-nyc-board-game

If you know anyone that might be interested, please forward the link to them.  If you are attending Gen Con and want to check out the prototype, stop by and visit us in booth #1939.

Thanks,

Update on shipping of games

Update #29 · Aug 13, 2012 · 24 comments

Hi all,

We received a partial shipment of Seven Sisters from the printer, but are currently expecting some delay due to the typhoon in that area (printer's wording).  We will begin shipping as soon as possible, but we haven't received the promo charity cards yet...we will send those in a separate mailing where possible so that we can get the game to you sooner.

If you can pick you copy up at Gen Con (with the understanding that the promo cards will be sent separately), please comment here by midnight tomorrow night.  I know this is a short window, and I apologize for that...I'm trying to be as efficient as possible in getting the games to you.

We look forward to getting them all sent out soon, and sincerely hope you enjoy playing Seven Sisters.

Thanks,

Brent & Lee, Owners, Wishing Tree Games

More pictures!

Two of the tiles - 5" x 7", and 2mm thick...quite sturdy.

The deck of cards, fanned out.  These are high quality poker style cards.

Goodies just for the kickstarter backers!

The player's screen - notice the colored bar at the top and bottom of the screen to indicate player color.  I often just use the screen to teach the rules.

Close up to show the quality and thickness of the material, as well as the cut, on the fruit and gold markers.

Resource/Turn Markers

We tried to think of everything you would need in this game, even the baggies - 2 large and 6 small ones - these are in addition to the ones used for the kickstarter only rewards!

You take the good, you take the bad...

Update #27 · Jul 30, 2012 · 5 comments

you take them both and there you have...the publishing business.

When I first launched the Seven Sisters campaign, I tried to be intentionally conservative with my timeline expectations and delivery date.  I was assured that I would have the game in hand by late July, allowing me to ship immediately.  However, due to some small delays, I am now told that August 10th is a realistic date for the majority of the games to arrive.  All I can really do at this point is wait, and apologize to all of our fantastic backers for the delay.  I can assure you that I will make every effort to get the games and other rewards sent out as quickly as possible once I have them in my hands.

In the meantime, I hope you all are as excited as we are to receive the game.  I did get an advance copy this past week, and I've taken some photos so that you can see the quality (and quantity!) of what you pledged for.  I'll post a couple here and then do another update with just photos.

Many thanks,

Brent
