2 weeks in and going strong

Hi!

We're halfway through the campaign, and we've reached 62% of our funding goal. Thank you so much! Keep spreading the word and we'll hopefully get there soon.

I've got a few updates for you.

We're offering international shipping!

We've added the option to ship the rewards anywhere in the world. Sorry for the delay on this – we had been trying to negotiate a bulk rate, but unfortunately it doesn't look like we'll be shipping enough games to each region to qualify for one. The international shipping isn't as cheap as we'd hoped, but at least it's possible now. 

One way to save on international shipping would be to go in together with a friend who lives nearby. Most of our reward levels allow you to add up to 4 additional copies of the game for $19 each (just adjust your pledge total once you've selected the reward). If you do that, you'll only pay the international shipping once for the whole order. 

You won't have to wait as long for your signed books 

Another (happier) shipping update. Our project schedule has your game being delivered to you this fall, after we spend the summer manufacturing the game. But you may have noticed that the first four books are out right now. We noticed, too. And while it would be cheaper for us to ship everything at once in the fall, we're not going to make you wait. 

As soon as the campaign successfully funds, if you've pledged for one or more signed books, we'll email you a survey to get your personalized dedication. Then, Adam will be breaking out his signing pen and we'll start shipping out the books in June! I know some of our younger, less patient fans might be happy about that.

That's all for now. More soon as we get closer to the goal.

Updates, international shipping, and some art

Hi!

I wanted to thank you for backing the game. We're just about a week into the campaign, and we've got over 100 backers and we're approaching 50% of our goal. That's great, but we still have a long way to go. To help us get there, please tell your friends about the game, both in the real world and on social media. Especially if they're teachers or librarians for young readers. 

We've received a few requests about shipping outside of the US and Canada. We're talking to our shipping partner, and will hopefully be able to give an update on shipping options soon.

I also wanted to show you some of the latest work by Hatem. It's not for the card game yet (he'll be getting to that soon). It's the covers of the new paperback editions of URS books #1 and #2. They're so cool. The books will be out this summer, and include all-new bonus stories about The Secret Order of the Unicorn, a medieval predecessor of the modern society!

What an amazing start!

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for your support. After only 24 hours, we're already 29% funded. That's incredible! We're well on our way to making the Unicorn Rescue Society card game a reality. 

But we still have our work cut out for us to reach our goal. So please tell your friends. Especially if you happen to know anyone who might be interested in a super fun card game about rescuing mythical creatures.
