Ohboyohboyohboy...

We're thrilled to report that Star Tycoon is currently floating in South China Sea. Yayy!!

I believe we have an actual photo of the games on their voyage...

*Too much time was wasted making this image...*

Jokes! We're joking! It's just a prank bro!

Nah, actually, the games look more like this:

We're going to guess that Star Tycoon is in one of the containers towards the back...

📦 Who wants to see photos of cardboard boxes?

You do! Here are some boxes:

Your game is inside one of these boxes, probably towards the back...

Our project manager managed to snag a sneaky video from the assembly line:

How cool is that!?

🤷‍♂️ The Last update About Tokens was Confusing

It sounds like we were implying there were NO premium token packs left, when in reality, we meant if you want to buy some, now is probably your last chance (Peter: "I need to stop writing these updates late at night...")

Anyway, you can add them to your order when you...

🔨 We Needed to Fix a Thing

There was a problem with one of the files sent to LongPack that made the business bot token super low-resolution and blurry. We didn't pick up the issue until AFTER all of the tokens had been made.

There was a debate as to whether we needed to fix this since 80% of you probably won't notice it in person, and even fewer of you would probably care as this component is not used in every game.

But, the obsessive OCD-gamers in us couldn't handle something not being perfect, so we went ahead and spent real-life money to get this fixed.

Why is all this important to know? Because in each of your games, you'll be getting one of these:

It's not elegant, but it gets the job done! Just remember to replace the token that comes in the other token sheet with this one.

🚢 Fulfilment Timeline and the Story of a Little Houthi Rebel That Could

"Enough stuffing around, gimmie an ETA," - you probably.

Before we give you dates, you first have to know about something that absolutely sucks. You know the attacks on commercial shipping containers you've seen on the news? Well, those cheeky Houthi terrorists directly affect our timeline.

Because of the threat of using the route between Africa and Europe, most ships are going around Africa to get to Europe. That ripples through the entire supply chain, causing delays for our boats.

So, while we did manage to get our games onto boats before China shuts down for the New Year celebrations, we need to warn you that these dates are further away from our originally promised date of Feb 2024.

Okay, enough stalling, here are our estimates:

USA / Canada
ETA - Start fulfilling approx early April

UK / Europe / Rest of the World
ETA - Start fulfilling approx early April

Australia / New Zealand
ETA - Start fulfilling approx late March

Asia
ETA - Start fulfilling approx late March

We'd love to give you more solid dates, but we just can't until the boats make it to their destinations. Sorry about the delays, and please know we really appreciate your patience.

🃏 Sleeve Guide

For those of you who like to sleeve your cards, here's the breakdown of the size and quantity of cards:

Card quantity: 192
Size: 6.3cm wide x 8.8cm, 2.5" x 3.5" (standard TCG size, ie Pokemon cards)
Sleeve type: Any will work, but we recommend something non-slip as there are 4 piles of cards that will become very difficult to wrangle if you use glossy sleeves.

🌐Spanish Translation Complete

The amazing team over at Board Game Circus have completed the Spanish translation of Star Tycoon.

This update was way bigger than expected. If you've made it this far, great job!

The next update will be about 4 weeks away as there won't be much to talk about while we wait.
