Hello guests!

This month we have excellent news! English production is chugging along and we are on the path towards production being complete by the end of the month. 

We are planning the containers to our various centers for fulfillment. 

French translations are underway and will begin soon. 

The exciting part of this update is the PHOTOS. I will let them speak for themselves:

We hope to share shipping details next month as games hit the water.

Third Thursday Update [June] - Production
11 months ago – Thu, Jun 15, 2023 at 11:51:35 AM

Hi there! 

We are pleased to say that production will be wrapping up in July, as the Trolley Cart enters its final stages of printing/assembly and approvals! We will share some official production photos next month, but for today while a small update, the best news is that there is no news! Things are going smoothly, and we can't wait to get these titles into our backer's hands!

Third Thursday Update [May] - Trolley Cart Samples!
12 months ago – Thu, May 18, 2023 at 07:37:03 AM

Hi everyone! 

Today we'd like to share with you some of the production sample photos that came in from our assembly team, creating a box like this has been a unique experience because it required so many more steps than we initially anticipated, but we are excited at how it's coming together and we think you all will be too! 

Once we get this approved for print, we'll have new photos to share with the wonderful artwork on the trolley cart! As we have wrapped up all other printing, the last thing that remains is this trolley cart, so we expect to have more to share in next month's update as we wrap up production entirely. 

Tea for Two

We wanted to take a moment to go over the Tea for Two product as this was a last-minute addition to the campaign after many people requested it.

While setting up the Guilty Party Kickstarter and talking with David we found out he had been working on a Tea for Two game and had it most of the way done. It just needed some polish and a proper rulebook. This was an exciting addition albeit last minute. We didn’t want this to be a separate campaign and wanted the Tea Trolley which was already in the works to include the entire series, so we moved it to the Tea Trolley as a bonus for ordering the set.

Elevenses fans wanted to complete their already existing collection and we had lots of comments requesting it as a separate item shortly before the campaign ended we decided to push through on production for this.

For the size of the campaign, we do have a decent amount of Tea for Two orders that are outside of the Tea Trolley set. Unfortunately, it’s not large enough to do two print runs for the game (a Tea Trolley edition and a standard edition). This means that Tea for Two orders will be receiving the Tea Trolley edition of the game.

There’s no difference in the contents, but the box will be different from the usual Elevenses series.

As shown in the picture below the Tea Trolley boxes are similar to poker card boxes and the rules as a separate item. So the Tea for Two rulebooks won’t fit inside the Tea for Two box.

We’re looking for a distribution partner for the series so this might be able to change, but right now this is the current printing plan. We wanted to bring attention to this now so customers weren’t surprised when their orders arrived. We hope you’ll still enjoy this wonderful addition to the series as it has some clever twists on an already amazing game.

We'll see everyone back next month! Happy gaming everyone!

Third Thursday Update [March] - Production Samples
about 1 year ago – Thu, Mar 16, 2023 at 11:27:22 AM

Hi everyone! 

We received production samples of the game and the trolley box! As mentioned in the previous update, we are scaling down the box size just a bit so that components aren't moving around as much. We can confirm that sleeved cards will fit in this smaller box but are playing with the insert now to see if it needs to be kept or tossed. Our goal is a clean-looking product when you open the box and nothing moves around in between plays. 

We are still testing a few more things with the trolley cart that need approvals, and once we have those it'll be off to the printer we go! I'll work to get some photos of the samples to show off in our next month's update so stay tuned!
