Fulfillment is beginning next week for The Last Kingdom Board Game!
10 months ago – Fri, Jul 14, 2023 at 03:12:44 PM

Hello everyone,

I am delighted to announce that the fulfillment process for The Last Kingdom Board Game will begin next week! We anticipate that it will take approximately two weeks to complete. We kindly request your patience during this period as our dedicated teams focus on ensuring the prompt and accurate shipment of the games.

Regarding shipping notifications: a notification email will be generated and sent to you when the label is created. However, please note that it may take up to a week for the package to leave the facility after the label is generated. Consequently, there might be a slight delay in tracking information. This delay is normal and should not give rise to any concerns.

Once the fulfillment process is concluded, I will provide you with another update. This update will include important instructions on how to contact us in the event that you have not received your reward or have not been notified about the shipment of your reward.

Thank you for your understanding and support throughout this process. We are excited to bring The Last Kingdom Board Game to your doorstep and hope you thoroughly enjoy it.


Sincerely,

Michael

Production Sample Photos + Cargo Ship Tracking! ETA August
11 months ago – Sat, Jun 10, 2023 at 11:43:56 AM

Hello everyone,

I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you today. As you may have already gathered from the title of this update, we have some incredible progress to report. Our team has been working tirelessly, and I am proud to announce that we are ahead of schedule! Instead of the original estimated delivery date of September, we are now preparing for an August fulfillment.

To give you a sneak peek of what's to come, I have included some photos of the final product sample below. Additionally, I have provided a tracking link so that you can follow the sea voyage of your game as it makes its way to our warehouse.

Before I share these details, I would like to provide you with our latest project timeline.

Project Estimated Timeline

Original ETA: September 2023

  •  June 2023 - Final product approved + Cargo departure + Finalize backer fulfillment data.
  •  July 2023 - Freight arrival at US and EU warehouses + Product receiving and preparing. 
  •  August 2023 - Begin fulfillment of backer rewards.

Final Product Samples

We are thrilled with the outcome of the game! The gameplay is exceptional, and the quality of the components is unparalleled. We are confident that these photos will ignite your excitement for what will soon be on your table.

Cargo Vessel Tracking

To ensure timely delivery of the games, we have strategically chosen two fulfillment centers - one in the United States and the other in Poland. We understand the importance of staying informed, which is why we have provided tracking links for both cargo vessels. You can easily track the journey of the games and stay updated on their whereabouts. We take pride in our efficient delivery system and are committed to providing a seamless experience.

BackerKit Pledge Manager is Open!! **Completion is Required for Reward Fulfillment** + Meeting the actors!
12 months ago – Wed, May 10, 2023 at 04:22:56 PM

***This update contains important information and direction on how to redeem your reward. There will not be an internal Kickstarter survey for this project.***

Please Read the Entire Update Carefully.

Before we dig into the survey details, we'd like to share an experience we recently had at the German Comic Con in Dortmund Germany.

German Comic Con - Meeting the actors!

A few months back, we received some exciting news that Alexander Dreymon (Uhtred), Mark Rowley (Finan), and Arnas Fedaravicius (Sihtric) would be gracing the German Comic Con in Dortmund, Germany on May 6th and 7th. Needless to say, my wife, Brittany, and I were thrilled and knew we had to attend this event. Without hesitation, we booked our tickets and packed our bags, making sure to bring along some early sample copies of The Last Kingdom Board Game.

Upon arrival, we eagerly presented each of the actors with a copy of the game, which they graciously accepted. We were even more thrilled when they agreed to sign another copy for our studio office. It was an unforgettable experience to meet these talented individuals and share our passion for The Last Kingdom with them. 

We will be following up soon with another update showing what's inside the box! So stay tuned.

You should expect to receive the invitation today, May 10th, or tomorrow (as it can take up to 24 hours for the email to arrive). The entire process should only take a couple minutes to complete. *Please check your spam folder.

That's A Wrap!
about 1 year ago – Sat, Apr 15, 2023 at 11:20:22 AM

THANK YOU BACKERS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!

We are thrilled to announce that the project has been successfully concluded, and we are excited to begin the process of bringing this epic game to your tables! Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of the game is of the highest quality, and we cannot wait for you to experience it firsthand. 

So what happens next!?

Please keep an eye out for an email from us in about 3 weeks regarding the pledge manager service we will be using. Following the instructions in that email is a critical step in completing your pledge and receiving your rewards. 

As for us, we will continue the production process and deliver you an awesome game! I will be keeping you in the loop each step of the way.

What is a pledge manager service?

It is a pledge management system that helps us collect shipping data from our backers for project fulfillment. The process simulates a 'check-out' process. You will have your profile imported from Kickstarter with your pledged total and selected reward tier. You simply enter your address and complete the check-out. During the check out, you may ADD additional products if you'd like, or if you already added extra funds, then you can select which items to allocate that money towards. You may also visit your profile later to change your address if needed.

When will the pledge manager be accessible to backers?

Our goal is to have it ready in about 3 weeks. Our target date is May 8th. Make sure that the email on your Kickstarter profile is accurate, and that you monitor your junk/promotions inboxes to be assured that you don't miss the email.

Project Updates

Though the campaigning is done, we still have a lot of very important updates to come. So please stay tuned and check in on this project frequently. I will be posting regular updates, once a month, keeping you all informed and involved in the process. We will still be reading comments and checking our messages daily. So if you have any questions, please ask. We will do our best to get back to you in a timely manner.

Stay In The Loop
