Third Thursday Update [February] - Printing Complete
about 1 year ago – Thu, Feb 16, 2023 at 12:07:30 PM

Hello everyone,

We received some excellent news from the factory. The printing is finally finished!!!

We're not out of the factories just yet though as they're still assembling all of the games together into the boxes. They're estimated completion date is February 25th, so we're close.

With this news here's our estimated timeline:

  • Asia/RoW- Fulfillment will begin in early-mid March.
  • Europe- Games will be leaving the warehouse in early March. Likely arriving in early April and mailing out to customers in mid-April.
  • UK- Once the games have arrived at our EU facility, we'll be moving them along to the UK facility which takes about 2 weeks. Once they arrive the games will be in their queue which is also about 2 weeks. So UK games are expected to be mailed out in mid-May.
  • US- We're scheduling the container now, but we estimate it will be leaving our warehouse in China in mid-late March. Our US shipping partner (Funagain) is shutting down. So we're moving this project to our new partner Miniature Market. This will be our first project with them so please understand that our estimates may be off as we're learning a new route and procedures for this center. But the estimate is the games will be mailed out in early-mid May.
  • Australia/New Zealand- We're working on filling up this container now, but don't have enough copies of Silicon Valley and other titles alone to ship out right away. We're working with other partners to fill up the container. We expect this to be leaving China in late March or early April. This would have the games arriving in either late April or early May and mailing out to customers in May.

As the games wrap up assembly we'll be getting pictures and more accurate timelines.

We thank you for your patience on this game and will have Silicon Valley on your doorstep as soon as we can.

Third Thursday Update [January] - Covid Updates
over 1 year ago – Thu, Jan 19, 2023 at 12:22:58 PM

Hi everyone, 

Directly after our last update, we received word that our factory in China had been shut down due to our team testing positive for COVID. The government shut down the factory and only began resuming work a week ago. With timing as it is, January 22 is the start of the Chinese New Year which will have the factories shut down for another 3 weeks while our team spends time traveling to be with family during their celebrations.  First and foremost we want to wish our production team a speedy recovery. Safety for our employees is our number one concern. 

Following this news and timing, while printing has almost wrapped we won't be able to get a more sturdy estimate on when shipping begins until after work resumes. We will certainly have more in next month's update so stay tuned!

over 1 year ago – Thu, Nov 17, 2022 at 04:42:01 PM

Hi everyone, 

We have a small status update that we wanted to share! The rulebook is approved and printing has begun! We anticipate this may take a little longer than usual just because we are heading into the holiday season, but we will keep you all updated and hopefully have more to share in December's update!

Rulebook: 

The rulebook has been submitted to BGG, and at the time of writing this it has not been approved into their database, but once it is I'll comment below with the link so everyone can view the updates :)


Talk to you all soon.

Third Thursday Update: Rulebook Review [October]
over 1 year ago – Fri, Oct 21, 2022 at 04:18:28 AM

Hello everyone, 

Another short update here this month, but we are still in the queue for printing. While we are waiting for our turn to print at the factory, we also are taking another quick review of the rulebook with the designer and partner studios to make sure it's exactly right. Some of the art in the rulebook has changed so when we have it 100% approved I'll post it on BGG and then send a link for you all to use in the comments. Thank you for being so patient and supportive!
