Hey everyone! June is shaping up to be a big month for Rock Manor Games, with games arriving at doorsteps, assembly lines wrapping up, and new adventures just getting off the ground. Here’s your full rundown on where things stand across all five of our active Kickstarter projects.
⚓ Seas of Havoc: Reprint & First Mates Expansion — Fulfillment Underway!
The ships are sailing! Fulfillment is now active across all regions and we’re expecting to wrap up this month. Most international regions are already complete, and USA and Canada fulfillment has officially started — things are moving a little slower than quoted due to the busy convention season, but we’re keeping a close eye on it. Hang tight — your copy of Seas of Havoc is close!
Seas of Havoc is also now available in our online shop at shop.rockmanorgames.com — a great option if you’d like to grab an extra copy or share it with a friend.
🚀 StarDriven: Gateway — Fulfillment Nearly Complete, Zatu Issue Being Fixed
Fulfillment is nearly complete worldwide! A few remaining orders are on their way out the door, and we’re working through the last of the international shipments now.
One thing we do need to flag: some UK/EU backers received German copies instead of English, or the wrong ink wash version, due to a fulfillment error at Zatu. We sincerely apologize — we’re working directly with Zatu to make it right. If you were affected, please either reply to your tracking email from Zatu or email [email protected] with your issue.

StarDriven: Gateway is also now available in our online shop at shop.rockmanorgames.com!
❄️ Set a Watch: Winterlands — Files at the Factory, Proofing Underway
Good news on the production front for Winterlands! Here’s where we stand:
- Files have been sent to and received by the factory
- The manufacturing down payment has been made
- We’re now waiting on a digital sample layout for approval, followed by preproduction samples for review
This stage typically involves a few back-and-forth rounds as we check for layout and dimension issues before everything is locked in. Once we clear that phase, we move into full production. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way — things are progressing nicely and on track.
🕺 Disco Heist Laundry — Assembly Done, Heading for the Ocean
Manufacturing is complete, the production sample has been approved, and final assembly is wrapping up. We’re officially in the home stretch!
Here’s the estimated timeline:
- ~June 10 — Manufacturing & assembly complete
- June 15 – July 15 — Ocean freight
- July–August — Arrival & fulfillment begins
- August–September — Fulfillment completed
- Fall 2026 — Retail release
Mark your calendars for late summer — fulfillment is estimated to begin in August. Start making plans to get your crew together for the heist of the decade! 🎰
🏝️ The Lost Island + Secret Valley — Thank You!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who backed The Lost Island + Secret Valley — the campaign wrapped with over 1,000 backers! We’re so excited to bring these award-winning Argentine games to an English-speaking audience for the first time. If you missed the campaign, you can still get in on it via the late pledge. We’ll have more production and fulfillment updates to share in the months ahead as this one gets moving.
🎲 See Us at Origins Game Fair — Booth 1202!
Todd and Mike will both be at Origins Game Fair in Columbus, OH this month! Stop by Booth 1202 to say hello, play some games, and check out demos of Seas of Havoc and StarDriven: Gateway. We have a fantastic location this year and can’t wait to meet you in person. Here’s a couple of illustrations of us from an upcoming project so you can pick us out in the crowd:
As always, thank you for your incredible support across all these projects. Every one of you makes it possible for us to keep making games we’re proud of. We’ll be back with more updates soon!
