Update #60: Happy End (of the Container)
Courtesy of Game Salute, we now have a picture of the container. After intensive coordination between port, trucking and Game Salute holiday schedules last week, a truck arrived in New Hampshire earlier today with a red container on top. Inside the container were rows of pallets, two level deeps. The nice folks from Game Salute had to actually unload every pallet and reload outside the truck due to lack of loading dock/lift gate. Thanks to the crew at Game Salute for all the hard work. It looks like it was cold, too....
This project is coming to an end. It's been a blast. But as of this week, there are no more pre-orders, just orders. And book-keeping, accounting and CA sales tax. Ugh.
All Kickstarter backers should have received their game by now - if not, please contact me.
If you liked your first few games, please blog, post, plus, tweet and facebook about the game. If not, please pass on your game to some friend working at a startup :-)
The URL is http://www.startupfever.com/ or just tell folks to Google it. The game is only available on the Web or in "select game stores"
If you want to go all out, please rate it on Board Game Geek. It's a bit tricky, you have to do have an account, be logged in, and do it under "User Information" at the bottom of http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/95128/startup-fever. Note that if you rate below 7/10, you are moving the average in the wrong direction...
Thanks again to everybody, and
A HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR!
Update #59: Cosco Dalian arrived in Boston
The Cosco Dalian arrived in Boston. I hope they are unloading the container as I write this. If you are in Boston, maybe you can check it out and take a picture - and guess which container is full of games :-)
You can't actually see the ship on the picture, and it's not really this container, as the satellite images are unfortunately not real-time...

Update #57: Launch Party is 12/16/2011 in Mountain View, CA
I am now very confident that all backers should have their game in a week or so, so it's time for the launch party. It will be Friday, December 16th 2011 at the Hacker Dojo in Mountain View, CA, the perfect place for a Startup Fever party.
Gary Simpson, the artist is also planning to attend.
Please RSVP if you plan to attend, so we can prepare.
PS: One of the high backers donated their Toblerone (the 10 lbs one) to this event... Your chance to get a huge chunk of chocolate.
