The Latest...

Hi Folks,

The printing is complete, including the extra copies we ordered. We are going to ship it with another Flying Pig project, The Long Road. The Long Road sample is inbound to our office. If the sample has no deficiencies, both The Long Road and AMFS will be set to ship to the United States. At that point, I hope to get an idea about how long it will take to get them here. 

I'll update you all as soon as I know.

Best,

Mark 

Shipping Update
over 2 years ago – Tue, Oct 05, 2021 at 03:56:38 AM

Hi Guys,

No, the games are not off the coast of California. They are being slowed by two events. 

Event one. After a lot of number crunching, we decided that we needed to make more games.  As the late pledges continued to mount we were getting dangerously close to accepting the games, and then going out of stock as soon as we shipped the Kickstarter orders. This wouldn't be good for anyone. So, we ordered the printer to print more games. 

Event two. There is a global shipping container shortage. Read here (https://qz.com/2027205/a-shipping-container-shortage-is-snarling-global-trade/), but you can also read how it directly affects (INCLUDING MULTIPLYING OUR COST BY UP TO 1000%) the boardgame industry here: https://time.com/6096497/board-games-shipping-crisis/ . Worry not, we have the money to pay the shipping, but there is little we can do about the delay.

Bottom line? We believe we can get those beautiful AMFS on a ship in November, but aren't sure. 

I'll keep you updated.

Hi Guys,

Everyone should have been sent a link. You can go to the pledge manager, settle up for postage and VAT (if you don't live in the United States) and get extra stuff if you are so inclined. Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks for your patience.

If you don't get an email, check your spam folder. Nothing there? Email ordersATflyingpiggamesDOTcom.

Not much to say
almost 3 years ago – Thu, Jul 01, 2021 at 05:16:21 PM

Hello Boys and Girls,

Not much to say this week. We made some mistakes in the box and admin counters, which the printer pointed out. We've corrected those mistakes and we are waiting on the digital proofs. 

This weekend is the anniversary of the battle. Remember the 51,000 casualties suffered there.
