Latest Updates from Our Project:

URGENT: 48 hours left - Update your address if needed!
over 5 years ago – Fri, Feb 08, 2019 at 10:16:19 PM

We have locked all BackerKit orders in preparation for shipping

If you need to process an address update, you have 48 hour remaining to do so to not have an issue receiving your copy of Defense Grid: The Board Game.

https://defense-grid-the-board-game.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders 

After that, there is a risk it may ship to the wrong address.

If you need to update your address after the 48 hours, please contact Joey Turco < [email protected] > for assistance.

Please also make sure you have actually paid for your shipping on BackerKit.  2 of our backers have failed Credit Card attempts and about 20 still have to pay.  All should have received a notice.

On a side note, the boat to Australia arrived today and is in customs! 

US is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.  Unfortunately, Seattle is currently in the midst of a major snow storm which will likely delay unloading of ships and customs activity by upwards of a week.

Gamerati packs and ships first Review copy
over 5 years ago – Wed, Feb 06, 2019 at 01:14:12 AM

We got a request for a high profile review so we rush shipped a box to Gamerati to send one copy to that reviewer and 2 others I am still selecting.

In this quick video you can see how they will be boxing and repacking individual copies for delivery to US customers.

Enjoy!

Defense Grid: The Board Games Rules Videos
over 5 years ago – Thu, Jan 24, 2019 at 09:12:05 PM

I just finished publishing all the rules videos I recorded for Defense Grid: The Board Game.

These are not yet linked to my sub-domain URLs I provide in the rules booklet, but they should be before people get the game.

Let me know what you think!

Printable AI Boards and Team Mission Boards now available!
over 5 years ago – Thu, Jan 24, 2019 at 01:23:19 AM

Just a quick update that I posted the printable AI Boards and Team Mission Boards over on Board Game Geek if anyone wants to take a look at them.  

These are based off the cards included in the box for those that don't want to write on the sleeves or otherwise risk damaging their cards.

I will also be providing these though my own domain in the next couple of weeks for those that do not have a BGG account.

Shipping - For REALZ this time :) (with links)
over 5 years ago – Wed, Jan 23, 2019 at 01:11:23 AM

So, had another wtf moment.  Apparently they tried to load up my games and discovered they couldn't be shipped for 2 reasons.

1) They didn't have the full business letter from the IRS for my business creation (only had the UBI which was insufficent)

2) We didn't have all 3 distributors properly listed as consignees for receiving the shipments.

This delay has now been resolved and all the packages are on the boats!  You can find the links below.  I am not 100% positive that I am right about the links or which boat is going where, but...

Australia - https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:196571/mmsi:235080906/vessel:CMA%20CGM%20LYRA

US - https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:196571/mmsi:235080906/vessel:CMA%20CGM%20LYRA

EU - https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:5765400/mmsi:357463000/vessel:EVER%20GRADE

 This coming weekend, I will be officially locking down the BackerKit and launching the future pre-order offers.  This will help to ensure that Backers get their copies first (with maybe a couple of really out of the way places). 

Thanks as always!

Anthony Hanses

PS - Sounds like we going to get an article and possibly a review for Defense Grid: The Board Game published on Escapist Magazine!  This has me super excited.  It wouldn't have been possible without some of the poking and prodding from backers that caused me to write that long post a few weeks back.
