This month, last month, the month before and next month too!
🕑 Added 2017-05-23 22:33:37 +0000 UTC Hey everyone! Still trying to stay ahead of things here and it's getting closer and closer. Here's where we are with packages.March, April, May - The cards are here, the postcards are printing, and the rules are proofing. I'm going to pay a few bucks extra to get the rules rushed out and hopefully these will hit the mail before 5/31. Then we're all caught up on packages. It was a tough catch up, but we're rocking and rolling on June and July, so I'm HOPING the hardest part is behind us. We're also approaching a mega fulfillment of a ton of Circle The Wagons games, so... it sounds like we need some help around here. :)
Since March, April and May are WAY LATE, I put together an image to show what is on its way. I didn't make it the main image here because I know some like the surprise, so instead I made it a link.

You'll see a card from the $5+ and $10+ level for each month. This is an awesome batch of games, and as always, I apologize for the delay.
June - See the Pentaquark image up above? Those 3 Collider cards are coming in the $5+ June packages! This is the first post-campaign Pentaquark content and everyone here will get a copy.
Aside from that, June will include a Postcard game from Chip Beauvais, designer of Universal Rule and Smoke & Mirrors, and I'm happy to announce that we'll be revisiting Universal Rule here in July with a little 6 card planet set in the $10+ packages. We plan to release 3 of those over the course of 2017, making a full 18 card expansion.
That's about it for now. If you missed it, we just announced the finalists for our Wallet Game Contest and there are some really exciting games there, some of which you might see in your mailbox one day. If you want to take a look, tell us your favorite. In fact, you all should get a vote in our next contest. I'm going to pitch that to Ben tonight, and see how we could wrangle it.

Nevermind, everything arrived yesterday and looks great. Thanks!
Andrew Boyd
Hi there, I still haven't received March/April/May. Any word?
James M.
I received my copies today, but there seems to have been a slight mix-up with them. I sent a private message about it. Please respond when you have a chance. Thanks!
James M.
Cool, thanks for the info. I'll watch for it in a few days then.
Button Shy
James, I saw yours in today's batch. I would expect it Friday-ish.
James M.
I was kind of wondering about this, too, given that we're almost halfway through June now. Hopefully we'll see copies arrive by the weekend then, or early next week at the latest.
Evan Meister
Great! Thank you. :)
Button Shy
Out of 200, 100 were shipped over the weekend and another 50 went out today. I expect the last 40-50 to go out over the next 24-48 hours and then we're done. :)
Evan Meister
Any further updates on the status of the March/April/May packages?
Mack Creel
Will we get to choose which games we get for the backlogs?
Nathan Theis
Hi Jason, I was wondering how many new cards have been added to Super Pocket League Extreme Wrestling since the Kickstarter? I would love to get them if possible, but I understand that I'm joining the club late. Thanks!
Button Shy
Oh and a 4th option, which may be a possibility down the line is to buy just the upgrade portion. (Basically the 9 cards that make the $10 level) This would be either it's own $5 purchase or it could ship instead of your regular $5 postcard and promos reward. I want to add that for flexibility but the logistics are hard enough right now that I'm not 100% ready to complicate it. But it's in the works.
Button Shy
Yes! PNPs of the Mar/Apt/May stuff is being assembled now and the June stuff will be coming as well. :)
Button Shy
Hit send too quickly... the only other thing to mention is that the $10 package will likely include more than just the 6 card packs. We try to get them closer to 9 cards and there may some really tiny games or promos in there along with the Universal Rule expansion. I'm not trying to push you that way, as that would make me a good salesperson which is everything that I am not, but I do want you to know what to expect.
Button Shy
There are a few options. 1) you could upgrade only on those months, which gets you down to $15, which is the cost plus shipping on a standard wallet game. Keep in mind that at $10 you also get a $5 discount on a game, each month, which is $3 more each month. Option 2) buy the extras directly from us each month. The complication there is that we sell the whole package so you'll be getting things you already have and paying the full $10 and not gettinnnthe discount. We do it this way because we don't break up the sets. 3) Wait to see if we reprint this as a full wallet game. It all depends on sales and interest and the answer to that is that I have no idea! :) I hope for the best but our reach is only so far right now.
Evan McCoy
Hey Jason, will there be a way to get the 18-card Universal Rule expansion all together once it's complete? I was considering upgrading to $10/month just for those, but the thought of basically a $30 expansion has me second-guessing that decision...
Hickname
Hi! Is there any way to get these cards in PNP form? When your friend is working in printing house, this is way better than unstable postal delivery...
James M.
Glad to hear campaign mode for Pentaquark is still in the works. I wasn't expecting an app version of the game, but that would be pretty cool. Thanks for the info.
Button Shy
Quarterly campaigns are great. And we have all prior campaigns shipped so we're in a great place. Campaign mode is on the brain too. We've talked about it, along with the app version (which is in development now).
Button Shy
There's always the choice for the wallet games. :) We'll have the message out in a few days as soon as we're a little closer to receiving everything here.
Darren Lipman
This is exciting--I added Pentaquark to my pledge for Circle the Wagons, so it'll be nice to get some extra cards for it. What wallet games are included for $20 backers, or will there be an option to choose again?
James M.
Thanks for the update. I agree that if you're basically caught up now/soon, hopefully you'll be able to stay on top of things now that Kickstarter campaigns are quarterly. I'm glad to see some Pentaquark material on the way. That was the main reason I joined the club. :) And since those new collider cards will be at the $5, I won't have to increase my pledge level to get them, which is even better. ;) I hope the missed stretch goal of a campaign mode for Pentaquark is still a possibility, too. That definitely sounded cool, and I'd love to see that.
