Update: The Gentlemen of the South Sandwiche Islands hits Top Blog Stories in LAWeekly! After running a (somewhat controversial) profile of me in the print edition of LAWeekly, the periodical followed-up with a nice blog entry about the game itself.

Gendy Alimurung, the reporter who picked it up, has a nice eye for unusual stories. Luckily, she took an interest in TGSSI. You can find the post about the game here:

Fun fact #37: Why spell "Sandwiche" with an "e"?

The "e" on sandwiche is not just an archaic touch. It's also very practical. Try Googling "sandwich" and it will take you to a thousand sites about sandwiches. But Google "sandwiche" and the search will lead you straight to my game. The "e" on sandwiche is an archaic stroke that, oddly enough, neatly distinguishes itself in modern search engines.

Just a brief update: Everything's moving along smoothly and, as planned, the games should come out of production in May. I wish it could be sooner, but that's just how long the manufacturing takes. This has been an incredibly eye-opening experience.

Also, here's a recent article that came out about the game. Boardgame News is an international publication with good visibility within the industry.

I like this article because I think he appreciates what I'm doing, but there's also just a little bit of vinegar in it...

And here's an interview I gave recently about the letters in the game:

*The Games will be delivered in May

Just a heads up - the funding & preorder process ends tomorrow, Feb 9th. At that time, all credit
cards will be charged for the specified amount.

I can't believe this game has come so far. I sincerely look forward to distributing these copies.
Realistically, they will probably start arriving at your doors in the month of May. (I will post a video with an update about the manufacturing process.)

Thanks so much for your support and interest.
