Crypt Reprint Survey / New Kickstarter Launch

Crypt Reprint Survey
As of this week, we're down to last couple hundred copies of our stock of Crypt, which has now sold over 30,000 copies worldwide! Since the Crypt campaign was such a big success, we're discussing the possibility of doing a 2nd Edition reprint campaign. We don't have a timeline yet, but with stock running low it could very well be soon.
If we make a 2nd Edition of Crypt, it would be a perfect opportunity to make some updates to the game. Andrew and I have a few tweaks in mind, but we thought it would be best to ask you all how we can improve the game. So, we set up a thread on BoardGameGeek to brainstorm any improvements you can think of. We'll read every comment and take all responses into consideration, so please let us know what you think!
Canvas is LIVE on Kickstarter
We have more big news. Our award-winning game, Canvas, is now available for pre-orders. In Canvas you are a painter competing in an art competition. Collect transparent cards and layer them to create one-of-a-kind paintings.
That's all for now. Hope you all are staying safe and healthy. Much love,
Jeff & Andrew

Afternova is LIVE on Kickstarter
We hope you've been enjoying Crypt these past months. We're so thankful that you helped make the Crypt campaign such a huge success and your support has allowed us to fulfill our dream of becoming full-time game designers. We've since devoted our time to our newest small box game experience, Afternova, which is now live on Kickstarter.
Afternova is a negotiation game set in a solar system following a devastating supernova. You'll need to build a team of "Hired Paws" to extract resources from the shattered remains of planets. But it's too dangerous to do alone. You'll need to team up with your competitors to share the work and the reward.

Don't Forget to Rate Crypt on BGG!
We hope everyone had a great holiday filled with game nights! If you've already had a chance to play Crypt, we would love to hear how your game session went. Be sure to rate Crypt on Board Game Geek and let everyone know your thoughts and opinions on how it plays.
All Rewards Have Been Shipped Out
It almost sounds too good to be true, but the games are out and the vast majority of orders have been delivered on time. So by now you should have your game (if you don't, see the Lost Shipment section below).
By our count 23,961 rewards have been shipped around the world. We owe a big thank you to our manufacturer, Panda Games Manufacturing, and our distributors ShipNaked and VFI for handling Crypt in a professional and speedy manner. And thanks to all you backers for going on this journey with us.
Lost Shipments
If you're part of the 1% still waiting for your game, you now officially have permission to panic.
Okay, now that that's out of your system, calmly fill out this Lost Shipment Form. We will swiftly email the distributor about the status of your shipment and email you back. We'll re-ship your game if necessary.
*NOTE: If you've already reached out to us and we responded with a status update, you do not need to do this.
Customs Fees
If your package was held up in customs and you were charged a fee, email confirmation of your customs payment to [email protected] and we will reimburse you via Kickstarter.
Sounds From The Crypt
Lastly, of course we haven't forgotten the final stretch goal... we present to you the Crypt soundtrack! Dim the lights and set the stage at your next game night with this spooky ambient soundscape. The sound effects for Crypt's unique soundtrack were recorded and mixed by Rob Huber. Download the Sounds From The Crypt track.
That's all for now! Much love,
- Jeff & Andrew
Shipping FAQ

Shipping is now underway for all regions! If you have questions about your order, please check the FAQ below.
Common Shipping Questions
I haven't received tracking info or a game. Should I have received it by now?
The distributors are working as fast as they can, delivering over 1,000 orders a day! Due to the high volume of orders and the vast number of destinations, not everyone's games are in transit or delivered yet. So, if you still do not having a tracking info email, rest assured that this is normal and expected. It's not lost or stuck. It's just in queue to be delivered and will be on it's way soon.
The tracking website returns an error or is not updating the status of my package. Is something wrong?
Some of the tracking websites have been displaying funky error messages. To be honest, we have no clue what they mean either, but so far, it seems that any issues with the tracking numbers are resolving themselves. The games are still being shipped and arriving at people's homes without any hitches. So, if you see a confusing message when you enter your tracking info, no action is required. We recommend just ignoring it.
My package arrived, but there is an issue. How do I get my order fixed?
Send an photo of your order to [email protected]. We'll reship your order as soon as possible.
I live in Canada. Will my order be delayed?
Tracking numbers for Canadian backers just recently started going out on Dec 13. Due to the Canada Post strikes they're likely playing a bit of catch up, so it may take a couple extra weeks for everyone to get their tracking info and games.
The Cursed Treasure
I made another quick video about one of the Crypt variants, The Cursed Treasure. You can find the full rules in The Book of Variants PDF (English) (French).
In this game mode the recently deceased king curses players who take his most valuable treasures. The most cursed player at the end of the game suffers a penalty, so you'll have to watch other players and be careful about how many valuable cards you're taking!
Fulfillment has begun

Fulfillment Progress
US Backers, the games have arrived at the distribution center. They are beginning to pick and pack all the orders. ShipNaked should begin sending tracking information emails next week.
Non-US Backers, most of you should have received your tracking information from Asia VFI and some of you have already received your games. Shipping is still in progress.
NOTE: If you don't have tracking info or a game yet, please be patient. Due to the large quantity of games and the variety of destinations it may take a few extra days for some folks to get their game. This is normal. Don't panic. We promise it's coming very soon.
Damaged Games & Reshipments
If your game arrives damaged or if your order is incorrect, we will happily reship your game for free. All you need to do is email a photo of your damaged or incorrect order to [email protected] and we'll have replacement items sent to you right away.
6 & 8 Player Tutorial
For those curious how the 6 & 8 player mode works, I made a little how-to-play video for Crypt's "Clash of Houses" variant. This is one of the three alternate game modes included in the Book of Variants rulebook. The rules are also available as a downloadable PDF. Note that you'll need two copies of Crypt in order to play with extra players.
