Update #16: Everything is almost on a boat

Posted on April 26

I am being flooded with emails about coordinating shipping and getting everything to the port to be shipped to United States.

It should only be about 5 weeks now!

      They haven't even asked for my address... So, any chance of returning emails/messages?

      Lelah - There was a survey that was sent out. However, if you send your shipping information along with your Kickstarter email address used and pledge level to michael@tastyminstrelgames.com then I will get you on the list.

      Thanks!

      The games will be arriving in the warehouse soon we got caught up in some Chinese customs issues. Very early June they should be arriving.

Update #15: It Is Coming... Soon... Ish...

Posted on March 26

I just got an email from the manufacturer asking to verify the master carton markings for "For The Win".

Everything looks on schedule for a May delivery.  Time has gone by so fast that I forget how long it has been since an update.

Cheers,

Michael

      I disagree with @Drew, I think the color is fine how it is now, as it gives the look of wood.

      Any pictures of the expansion tiles or the travel bags? Mostly just curious at this point... but always want to see what's coming.

      @Tom Hugh....how in the heck does white on off white give the look of wood?

Update #13: Woot! $30k hit...

Posted on February 7

I am shocked and excited about the fact that we unlocked the overfunding achievement for travel bags.  Thanks for all of the support, this has been a wild ride the last couple of  days.

For The Win designer, Michael Eskue will shave his head if we can hit $35,000 by the end...

We'll catch it on film and it will be AWESOME-ISH!

      Sweet! I was unsure wether the 30K threshold would be crossed with so little time left, but you did it!
      Congratulations!

      Dammit! I was going to up my pledge by five bucks in order to get the bag! Totally forgot. :(

Update #12: Travel Bag Achievement By Popular Demand

Posted on February 6

So, there has been popular demand that I open up another overfunding level for a travel bag.  Done and done.  Now, I have no idea what the bag will look like at this time since I abandoned the thought of it several days ago.  What would you like to see?

But think of it, showing up to your game night with your brand new game bag.  Not one of those "lame" boxes that all games have.  Your friends will immediately swoon over your bag and wish they were cool enough to have one.

Or you are traveling...  Who wants a to pack a pointy game box?  Not me, I want a bag.

Ok, so maybe a bag is not that big of a deal, but I still think it would be pretty cool.  So, now if the project for "For The Win" ends with $30,000 in total funding, then bags will be included for everybody pledging at least $15.  

Just like with the overfunding level that gets you a 3-4 player game.

A New Support Level

In the commentary and requests that led to this, suggestions for a new backer level were thrown out there.  So, here it is:

$40 - Gets 3 copies of For The Win, and it will cost $10 for shipping outside of the USA and Canada.  International backers, compare that to $30 for one copy, now for $50, you can get 3 copies!

      @William - It depends on what I can do, but I am looking for printed with the black and white line art for the cover on one side, and action tracking for 4 players on the other.
