      The Canival has arrived in Indonesia! Fun games, albeit a little chaotic, but hey even my 6 yrs daughter enjoyed it.

      As a side note, too bad that you change the iconic animal into the common age level. It really help bring unique-ness to your brand!

      Mercedes - Yup, that was an oversight. The Sideshow will be printed along with the rest of Carnival, so they will be delivered together.

      First time game from both the publisher and the designer AND getting around $30K is a great achievement. I hope this is a great success for you and that your future publishing adventures are massive successes. I greatly look forward to playing this game.

      Dice Hate Me Games on September 20, 2011

      Steven - Thanks for your support! As for international shipping, we considered all options when it came to this, and relied on the advice of our distributor. As for shipping for each deck - the $10 extra applies to all base pledge levels. In other words, if you were to pledge for the Swings or the Bumper Cars, you would simply pledge $10 more for international shipping. Perhaps you are referring to the FAQ at the bottom in reference to getting more than three copies of Carnival? If that's the case, we had to take into account shipping by weight - we could afford to give a break on two or three copies of Carnival, but beyond that it would create too much of a dent in our expenses. We hope you understand!

      Steven Stout on September 20, 2011

      Hey. I'm really glad this has been such a success for you guys. The hard work you put into your game has really paid off! Can't wait to play it.

      Only one complaint: Shipping is bruuutal for international buyers. Especially in the case of Canadians. I mean, $10 extra shipping is a bit steep, but I can live with it. $10 for every deck in the pledge level? Bruuutal. It's pretty much exclusively the reason I didn't pledge more.

      Hi. So excited about your success so far!

      I want to clarify.

      I am currently pledging at $35. Does that get me the Wild Die and the Ticket Tote? I know it's difficult to communicate changes/bonuses/new rewards on KS (as wonderful as it otherwise is) so I thought I better ask so I don't miss out on those great bits!

      Thanks!
