Third Thursday Update [February] - To the Printers
about 1 year 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!

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 1 year 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. :)

Launching the Pledge Manager!
over 1 year ago
– Fri, Nov 11, 2022 at 12:13:33 AM
Hello everyone!
Our pledge manager is going live today/tomorrow! We just launched the smoke test which goes out to a small percentage of backers and will hit the full launch tomorrow for everyone after making sure everything looks good on the smoke test.
Over the next two days, everyone will receive an email invite to fill in their surveys (please check the email address associated with your Kickstarter account - including any spam folders). We'll be using BackerKit for our pledge managers and they send out invites slowly over 48 hours so don't panic if it isn't there just yet.
You will have just over a month to provide us with your shipping details and choose any extras you want to add to your order. If you move after this time, you will still be able to edit your address after December 13, 2022, cut-off date.
For those new to Backerkit we've created a quick walkthrough:
> Welcome Screen
This is where you’ll be able to select the country in which your game will Ship or Switch your Pledge Level (If you backed at $1 for Example).
Just click on the blue text just under "Your Pledge Level" and you can select any of the pledges from the drop-down menu.
Click "Get Started" to continue, or "switch your pledge level" to do that.
> Questions
In this section, you'll choose which language your pledge to be in. You'll be able to add more copies in the next step and choose a different language for each one if you want.
> Add-Ons
In this part of the Pledge Manager, you’ll be able to add additional items to your pledges such as extra copies of Elevenses: The Guilty Party or the Trolley Cart!
You’ll see your shipping fees here which will increase depending on which extras you chose. Shipping is weight-based so the costs will be dependent on the weight of your item.
If you live in a country where VAT is applicable you’ll also see VAT fees here. Please note that VAT is based on the amount charged for the items and shipping.
> Shipping
Then there is the “Shipping" section where you’ll have to fill in all your details so we can ship your games to you as soon as Elevenses: The Guilty Party is printed and ready! All there is left to do is click “Next” and confirm your Pledge.
Closing of the Pledge Manager
The pledge manager will be closing its doors on December 13, 2022
The surveys will still be editable for a few months after that, so if you move, etc., you will be able to use the link in your emails to return to the pledge manager and edit your address, etc., for some time.
You can also return to your pledge manager any number of times until December 13 to change your items if you change your mind :)
That's it for this update, have a great day everyone!
-GG
