Shipping is 99% Complete
Thank you Backers for making The Lost Worlds of Josh Kirby a reality!
Look at those rows of pallets behind me, so many worlds to ship.
Our allies at Nord Games LLC expertly picked and packed 500 games in a single day
Look at all that Bundle Backer loot!
The team packed enough games to make a fort!
Nearly all games have shipped. There are a few (less than 10) backers who were late to the fulfillment survey, payment issues, etc. I will reach out to those backers after next week, once all shipped orders should be in your hands.
PlayMats
Look at this 24 by 36 inch beauty!
The Josh Kirby art side came out perfectly!
The game play side incorporates your player boards, locations for worlds and resources, a commanding Hyperspace center and plenty of room to roll dice!
We have some extra Josh Kirby play mats left. Now that we have final products in hand, we are updating our website and will offer them at www.bardgames.fun

Avoided a Catastrophe!
International orders have been shipping, and some games are in players hands! We hope to see some pictures of your game on our Facebook page.
The US games have been in transit by freighter since 12/4. We are relieved to learn our ship was not the OPUS ONE that was battered by storms at sea and lost several Kickstarters!
Our heart goes out to the crew, customers and game backers!
US shipping dates likely moving to January
However, our ship has been delayed (eta moved to 12/20). Further, the Port of LA is warning all traffic they are 2-3 weeks behind! Covid-19 in LA plus the Holiday rush it seems.
Unless the Port gets ahead of schedule, we believe our shipping will creep into early January.
We will keep updating you as we learn more.

Shipping circles the globe.
Just a quick update. Josh Kirby international orders have been picked, pulled and are starting their trek across the globe. Holiday competition for package delivery, Covid delays, and the human limits of managing every package through the vortex of shipping is a stressful time. But, we are making great progress.
US products are packed and crawling onto the boat. Then we are at the whims of seas, port authorities and the holiday frenzy.... sounds like a Space Opera to me! More updates next week.
Your games circle the globe in search of you!
BARD Games flies towards the Black (Friday) Hole.
While we manage our land based strategy, we are also launching our Cyber systems to get our games into the Black Friday maelstrom. We have great deals on our games and partner board games. We hope you will check it out.

48 Hours to Tater
Just wanted to share that the exciting 48 hour countdown has begun for our family friendly card game. If you want a fun game that plays in just 10 minutes, back Tater Freighter for your game collection HERE.
Not sure? Then watch a live play of Tater Freighter on Table Top Simulator and see how simple, and fun, it is!
Space Opera on the Web
I am excited to share we will add Space Opera mode to the BARD Games website.
Explore Sectors of space, gain powers across multiple games and claim the ultimate victory!
If you were not a Bundle Backer, this will be your chance to add the 'legacy style' multi-game campaign to your table. We will also have some of those card sleeves and playmats you missed. Expect the BARD Games Website to update in December.
Mission Log is Silky Smooth
That's a direct quote from the Game Designer, Jordan Nichols. So glad we did the satin finish paper for the cover! We had a chance to go through the component upgrades with him, then surprise him with a peek at the puzzle book. We hope you will "ooh" and "ahhh" too!
A quality book that you get to color!

Addresses Locked
Thank you all for sending address corrections. We locked all addresses today so we can upload international orders into the shipping system. All games have left the factory and are headed to our Hong Kong fulfillment center.
International backers, we will be begin picking and packing your orders next week. US backers, once we clear customs at the port of Hong Kong, we will report on our freighter as it works its way to our DC in California.
Games, Sleeves, Mission Logs, Playmats and 1 bent poster package with my sample mats! :0
Space Opera!
I am so excited to get the Space Opera campaign mode in my hands. It looks beautiful, the 'meta' of Legacy style, multiple games is always a blast and the incremental powers gained during the campaign add new strategies. Just top notch fun!
I have been getting ready by playing Risk Legacy at home. Watch out family game night!
That time Ken talked the rest of the table to invade my HQ!
