🦦Otter Expansion, Shut Up & Sit Down Review, Essen 4E415 reservation🦦
Hello!
🦦Otter expansion and collector's edition (kickstarter!)
🦦Shut Up Sit Down Otter Review (podcast!)
🦦Spiel Essen 4E415 reservation form (glitchy on mobile, sry)
🦦Ruel Gaviola Otter solo playthrough (youtube)
Big Otter news!
First, Otter was nominated for best general card game at the UK Games Expo! Yay!
Then Matt and Tom at the legendary Shut Up & Sit Down reviewed Otter! Wow!
Meanwhile, we sold out again. So we are printing for the 3rd time!
We're also making a collector's edition that includes a sixth suit for an new solo/co-op mode!
For people who already own Otter, we'll have an upgrade kit that includes everything you don't have to make the collector's edition yourself.
Also, we'll be at Spiel Essen booth 4E415. We will have very limited copies of everything, so please make a reservation if you want to grab something in person.
Thanks for reading!

🦦Capybara Crush next, Otter almost finished printing🦦
🦦Capybara Crush🦦
Capybara Crush is coming soon! Please make the sign up for notifications to make the kickstarter algorithm happy!
👉👉👉https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/boardgame/capybara 👈👈👈
🦦Production🦦
Meanwhile, I'm happy to say that 2000 decks of Otter and 1000 playmats are done being manufactured. The deluxe box and plushie still have another month or so. Everything is coming together as fast as I can work!
🦦Tariff🦦
And the elephant in the room we need to mention is the tariffs to America.
At the moment, the 145% tariffs are within range for us to eat the cost and send you the pledges at the shipping rates projected. I'll open the PM as close to the shipping date as possible to make sure everything is good, and I'll keep everything transparent as things develop.
The goal is to have Otter and Doom Cat finished and shipped out before Capybara Crush launches. It's ambitious, but I'll try my best! Thank you for believing in us! You're the best! 💜

🦦Funding, Production, Fulfillment! 🦦
Yay! We funded 24000% of our goal! Thank you soooo much for believing in Otter!
I'm exhausted and I'll write a full blog later, but I wanted to leave a quick note here.
Production of Otter started a few weeks ago, and shipping prices were made with future tariffs in mind, so no big disruption for us.
My heart pains for others in the game industry, and beyond, who are facing the possible end of their dreams. 😔
If you have any questions, feel free to write below or PM me. I have a busy week ahead finishing production tasks, but I'm here to keep communication transparent and flowing!

Hey so it took pure chance to figure out this project is the source of my recent woes - I've had a package trying to make its way to me but keeps running into issues because the Address 2 line didn't make it onto the package label. That's a pretty important thing to leave off of your fulfillment process!
My shipment's tracking hasn't updated since arriving in the country 2 weeks ago. I contacted the courier and they told me to get in touch with the sender. Could you help me with this? Thanks.
