Game Progress

I am thrilled to report that we’ve received the first production copy and everything looks fantastic! The quality exceeded our expectations, and I can’t wait for you to experience it firsthand.

Production wrapped up right on schedule, and the games are being picked up from the factory today (February 5th) to begin their journey via ocean freight. Check out this video showing the final ink-washed miniatures and our recommended box organization tips:
