Third Thursday Update [March] - Production Samples
over 3 years 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!

Third Thursday Update [February] - To the Printers
over 3 years ago
– Thu, Feb 16, 2023 at 12:11:30 PM
Hello everyone,
This month has been filled with reviewing files, color options, sizing, and all the other little details that come between finishing the design and actually printing.
But we're almost there! The last thing we're finalizing now is the Trolley Box. We found that our original estimates for the size were extremely generous so we'll be shrinking it down length-wise. This is to prevent the components from shaking around a lot while you're transporting the game. Because this change could affect a lot of other things we're working carefully with the factory to make sure it's done right and won't have cascading effects. But we should be done soon and have the games at the printer before tea time.
More news next month!

Hi everyone!
Short update this month as the factories are closed for Chinese New Year, but we wanted to say that our Trolley Collector Box has been approved and the minute we get some factory photos I'll include them in an update! We can't wait to show off what it looks like!
Tea For Two Rulebook:
- Thank you to those that sent in feedback to the rulebook! We will post a final version the minute we can in a future update. We appreciate the help!
Tuck boxes:
- We are working on finalizing how the tuck boxes inside the Trolley Box will look and we have a few options in mind! Once we get confirmation on pricing, we will post both on BGG and you all can vote in a poll about which box you prefer for the trolley cart collectors set! We should have these up and running by next month's update.
Thank you all for the wonderful support and we can't wait to share some production photos once everyone returns! Wishing a wonderful Chinese New Year to our production team and to all of you who celebrate. :)

Hello everyone!
The pledge manager is officially closed and we thank you all for being so diligent on getting that done for us! We are prepping all of our files to be sent to print, but one thing that was holding us back was the Tea for Two, rulebook, and we're so excited to share it with you all here!
Be sure to click the image below to view the rulebook and soon we'll have a Tabletopia link for you all to check out how the 2 player game works! It introduces a new Preparation token!
That's all for now! We will have more to show off in January, so stay tuned! Also, from all of us at Grail Games, we want to say thank you so much for an incredible year and we can't wait to show you what's in store for 2023!

Third Thursday Update [November] - VAT Clarification and Pledge Manager!
over 3 years ago
– Fri, Nov 18, 2022 at 12:05:05 PM
Hi everyone!
Quick update for this month as we focus on helping anyone who needs help with their pledge and backer kit. We are still working on updating the "Tea for Two" rulebook and will share that when we are done!
One thing we wanted to also clear up is that anyone who has completed their pledge manager and is in a region where VAT is required to be paid, please log in and pay for the VAT. We apologize for this bug, it was an error on our part but it's now fixed and will need to be paid for in order for those in VAT-affected regions to receive their games.
That's all for now! If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to reach out to us via our support center, or directly here in the comments. :)
