We've got some revised sticker options and a question for everyone who qualifies for the Card Game Banner freebies:
Would you prefer four 3" x 3" square stickers
OR
One 3" x 5" sticker sheet with multiple stickers?
Whichever version gets the most votes by the end of Monday will be our Card Games freebie.
Additionally, we will create a new addon for anyone who wants to purchase additional stickers.
With all the changes and the desire to have more than one language in the box. I know it's strange, as almost all our backers are English-speaking. However, it's better to use all the cards in the print deck, and dropping in a German version is a nod to our manufacturer, Ludofact.
So now that that's done, we are sending everything over to the guys, and they'll source our materials. We'll have the two days run at the end of October and will send out ASAP in November as we receive stock.
Thanks all for your patience; this is our first full Backerkit run, and it's been a learning curve for all.
Looking ahead, I have seen the next games we are launching, and we'll be playing them at Waterstones in Cambridge, UK, and I am excited.
Just a quick reminder to fill out your survey! We will start sending orders out on Monday, so get that filled out to receive your game!
We're also out here at MiracleCon in OKC! This is a wonderful convention today and tomorrow, 11a-7p, (8/29 & 8/30) that benefits the Children's Miracle Network charity. You can pick up your game from us, hang out, and contribute to a great cause!
Here’s a production update on Aetas Draconis: the art prints and sticker sheets are officially finished, which means those pieces are ready and waiting for the decks to join them. And speaking of the decks, we have another big milestone: the cards have shipped! They’re currently on their way to us, with an estimated arrival in mid to late September.
Our original campaign timeline had fulfillment beginning in August, but with the decks now expected in September, we’re adjusting that timeline. Once the cards arrive, we’ll need some time to inspect everything, organize all of the campaign items, and prepare your rewards for shipping. We’re currently expecting fulfillment to take place sometime in October.
In preparation for fulfillment, we’ll also be charging cards and locking addresses in September. We’ll send out a reminder before that happens so you have a chance to double-check your payment information and make any necessary updates to your shipping address.
We know that’s a little later than originally planned, and we really appreciate your patience as everything makes its way to us. The good news is that production is wrapping up, the decks are officially in transit, and we’re getting very close to having all the pieces of Aetas Draconis together!
We’ll share another update once the decks arrive and we can begin getting everything ready for fulfillment. Thank you so much for your continued support and for helping bring Aetas Draconis to life!
The boxes are packed and taking to the skies next week!

We've already sent some test surveys and we've gotten a few of those back. So we will send surveys to the rest of you this weekend!
We've been told shipping should take about 7 days.
Once they arrive, we will begin shipping ASAP! We're so excited to get these games to you.
Thank you all again for your support. We're already working on getting our next crowdfunding project ready to go, and we hope you'll come back to check it out when it's ready!
I got the final art work of the last 2 expansions.
I finished designing the cards, the boxes, the booster packs. It's all done!
Unfortunately, since I want to do 1 big bulk order and then personally pack each order, the estimated delivery date is January of 2027.
I apologize for the extended deadline. I forgot to take into account, big orders need more time.
That being said, I will be charging shipping on your cards later this week. I did my best to keep shipping to a minimum, especially for my international friends.
Convention season is finally winding down at and art production is in full swing! Its looking like it may end up late November or early December delivery date, but as we wrap up everything ill let you all know our exact timeline.
Pledges will go once everything is sent to manufacturing, in the meantime enjoy some sneak peaks at the art!

Hopefully you all are doing well, and as usual ill be doing monthly updates unless something drastic changes!
We’ve taken the next step towards getting the games into full production. It's taken a little longer than we had hoped, but about what we had expected. The Mylar bags are a newer packaging option for our manufacturer, so there was a bit of back-and-forth to ensure our graphics are set up correctly and that they are configuring their templates to the correct sizes. But as of today, we have sent them formal approval of the digital proofs, and the next step will be to manufacture the physical proof for our review.
Those will likely take another week or two to be created and shipped to us. But once we have them, we will share photos. Assuming no changes or corrections are needed at that time, we should roll right into full manufacturing, which should take roughly three to four weeks. However, some of that depends on the factory's schedule. But we are currently on track to have the games heading to the US before the end of the year.
We can’t make any promises yet, but we are doing our best to have them in your hands in time for Christmas. But since we all know delays can happen, our official timeline is still to have them delivered to you all by February.
We will leave you with this video of David playing Cellblock 18 and Riposte! on our friend DC’s livestream a few weeks back. They started playing the card games at about an hour in. They also played Mirror Agents and talked about Winter Rabbit on the front end of that stream if you want to check that out.
We just received our final sample from the factory today in the mail!
We think it looks great and we've already approved the factory to start production!
I'll include some pictures and a link to our unboxing(?)... unwrapping(?)... a link to our video below!
We hope you also like the sample. We're so excited to finally get this out to you! With this sample finished, we should be sending out the surveys and opening up the pledge manager soon, so you can add any more things to your order or just pay for your shipping.
