Happy Monday Everyone!
I just wanted to post a quick update to let everyone know that last week we locked orders through BackerKit and if you added shipping or any additional funds through BackerKit then you should have seen a charge for those funds on your payment method last week as well. You are still free to change your shipping address if needed, and we will send out a separate notification in advance of when we will be locking shipping addresses once we have our copies of Animals in Espionage in hand. If you have not filled out your survey, please do so as soon as possible.
Next, our production update is pretty succinct, the production of Animals in Espionage is expected to be completed on August 25th, and the games will ship out from China shortly after that date. We're still finalizing our shipping plan with the manufacturer, and once we have a rough estimate of when the games will arrive, then we'll update everyone here.
We've also got some new photos to share with everyone of our production copy of Animals in Espionage. I'm really happy with how these photos turned out and I'm excited to share them with you today!
Lastly, here's a behind the scenes picture of Cooper trying to play his favorite game while we were taking these photos.
Thanks again and I hope everyone has a great week!

Happy Monday!
Big news everyone, I received our first mass production copy of Animals in Espionage from the manufacturer this week!
Overall I'm really happy with how the components for Animals in Espionage turned out! The cards are honestly the best physically printed cards I've felt with their linen finish, and after reviewing the components I'm confident in moving forward with the final assembly of the rest of the games and getting them on the boat ASAP. In terms of timeline, I will be meeting with our Production Manager at the Manufacturer this week to give them positive feedback on this copy and give them the green light to begin final assembly. We're still finalizing our shipping plan for getting the games to North America so I can't give an exact estimate on when the games will be delivered, but at this point I'm still feeling confident that everyone will receive their copies by October.
Lastly, thank you to everyone who has completed their BackerKit survey. We will be locking order next Monday July 26th so please ensure you have your survey completed by then if you have not already completed it.
Thanks again everyone for your support and stay tuned for more,
Cody
Surveys are Now Live - Important Information for Local Pick-up
almost 3 years ago

Good Afternoon Everyone,
Quick Update. At this point everyone should have received a survey from BackerKit where you can confirm your pledge rewards and pay any remaining shipping costs for your rewards. If you are planning on picking up your rewards in person, you should select "Local Pickup" as your region instead of "United States" to avoid a $5 shipping fee being credited to your account.
If you do not see an option to select "Local Pickup" or you run into issues switching your shipping option after starting the survey, please do not hesitate to reach me at [email protected] to help resolve any issues. I appreciate everyone's support on this project, and if there are any issues filling out the survey please let me know so I can address them.
Thanks again,
Cody

Good Afternoon Everyone!
I just wanted to post an update with two pieces of information to let everyone know what the status of Animals in Espionage. First off, the biggest news is that mass production on the game has started with our manufacturer! We are expected to receive our first Mass Production Copy at the beginning of August. Once this arrives we'll do an unboxing video and take plenty of pictures to share with you of what the game looks like straight from the manufacturer. Mass Production is expected to be completed by mid-August. After that, then we'll just have to wait for the games to arrive to us before we can begin fulfilling everyone's pledge.
The other update is that next week we will be releasing the surveys through BackerKit for everyone to confirm their shipping address and pay any remaining balance on shipping that was not collected during the campaign. You will be notified when the surveys are released via the email address associated with your Kickstarter account. If you added the shipping amount for your region to your pledge during the campaign or are electing to use local pickup to the 27101 zip code, then you will not be charged for shipping. You can also add one additional copy of Animals in Espionage and one copy of the Enamel Pin Set to your order at no additional shipping cost.
Thank you again for all of your support and expect another update in the near future!

Good Afternoon Everyone!
We're in our final days of the campaign, and as we count down the hours I just wanted to let everyone know that Cory, Cooper, and I will be doing one more livestream this Wednesday at 8pm EDT over at twitch.tv/twincitygames to send the campaign out with a bang. If you decide to stop by the stream to say hello, I know we'd be happy to see you!
Let's see if we can hit 250 backers before the campaign is over!
