When are you getting the strategy section?
Great game, my gf is addicted :)

I got the t-shirt but still waiting on the game; how can i find out if mind was shipped out?
So if I am in the US, I shoulda got mine by now if i was going to get it? I have not...
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!
The Carnival has arrived in New Zealand!
I'm in the UK and received mine a few days ago but only had chance to play it today with 3 other friends, great fun!! Many thanks for the effort in quality and attention to detail.
Played for the first time last night. I just want to say great job and a big thank you. The quality is superb and the gameplay is very fun. This should be a favourite for years. I cannot wait to see what you guys are releasing next! Thanks again! :)
Arrived yesterday in Belgium, everything counted for ;-)
My copy arrived today, so any other English backers should be receiving theirs now.
Very impressive production, great quality.
I got my game before Christmas! I brought it home to my parents house and we played over the weekend. This game is so fun!! Thanks so much for a great game! I will give you a nice rating on boardgamegeek! :)
Got mine yesterday. I'd planned it as a gift, but due to the delay, had to sub another game. Which means I get to keep Carnival for myself. Muhahahahaaaah!
Any way I can still get The Sideshow? I accidentally ordered just the game!
Just got mine in Canada. Very impressive quality! Can't wait to play it.
Just received mine here in the Netherlands!
Mine showed up the 24th, thanks so much!!!
Just got mine in Upstate NY. Looks great! Can't wait to try it out.
Mine just arrived in CT, It was going to be a Christmas gift to open, but we couldn’t wait and opened it early and will be planning soon when our friends arrive!!! Looks Great!!
Arrived today in Boston!
Mine arrived today! Hoody hoo!
Same here. Even shipping priority!
I just received an email from Game Salute, saying they were sending me a package. I am assuming it's Carnival!
Or maybe it's alien factions... I wish they would have put in the email what they are shipping to me...
I just got an email from gamesalute.com saying they shipped out a package today via USPS. I hope it's Carnival! =D
Is there an update on the status of Canrival? Hows production going etc?
Conga rats!
Congratulations on your successful funding!
Congratulations!! For a first game, this is a spectacular success!!!
Congratulation on the huge funding success! Can't wait to start playing this game ASAP now that it is funded.
The games list on KS wont look the same without Carnival there, but it is time to get this puppy out there! Great campaign guys!
Mercedes - Yup, that was an oversight. The Sideshow will be printed along with the rest of Carnival, so they will be delivered together.
ooh I just noticed the Sideshow pledge says estimated delivery Dec 2012, is that meant to be Dec 2011?
So close, I'm watching the pledges too, but I need to get some sleep.
Awesome videos, love the humour, great game idea. Can't wait to get the game.
Let's help make it to $35k!!
C'mon - you can make it to $35K!
Awesomesauce!
Thanks, Brian! As for release date; we are working hard to get KS backed copies out before the end of this year!
Wow - the support has been really impressive! Love the tutorial! Thanks!
Have I missed any announcement re: a release date? I don't need anything specific, but by the end of the year? Spring 2012?
54 hours to go - come on, break $32.5K!
Woho $30k! :D
$30K, congrats!
Woohoo!
This looks extremely awesome, glad to be another person to get you closer to an even $30k. Can't wait to see what else you guys come up next!
Great tutorial video you just posted, very clean and professional. My family and I can't wait to play!
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.
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!
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!
Jason
Congrats on $25K!
Congrats on breaking $25,000!!! Awesome! What's the next goal??
