Two quick things from base camp before we head into the week.
1. The Pledge Manager Closes Monday
Your BackerKit pledge manager closes Monday, August 31, 2026. After Monday you will not be able to add or remove add-ons.
Cards will be charged on Tuesday morning, US time, for shipping, taxes, and anything you've added on. Check that the payment method on your BackerKit account is current. If a charge fails, BackerKit will email you and retry.
If you've already completed your survey, you're all set. If it's still sitting unopened, search your inbox for "Response Needed — Get your reward for Parks Europe," or head to your BackerKit account to finish up.
We're using your BackerKit data as of Tuesday to route games from our manufacturer to the fulfillment hub serving your region. Assembly follows, and containers start loading in the coming weeks. Accurate data now means fewer games crossing an ocean they didn't need to cross, and fewer delays getting yours to your door.
2. A Note on EU Packaging
The EU's Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition directive (Directive (EU) 2024/825) takes effect on September 27, 2026. With this new transition, we needed to update our game boxes headed to the EU by adding two stickers to comply with regulations. Nothing changes about your game. Same components, same art, same ship window.
We've spent the last few years improving how we source and produce these games — FSC-certified paper and wood and plastic-free card packaging. We're also a 1% for the Planet certified business, giving one percent of annual sales to environmental nonprofits.
Questions about any of this — your order, your charge, the stickers — reach out to [email protected] and we'll get you sorted.
Thanks, as always, for hiking with us. Get that survey in.
