Happy news! The batch of 1000 copies of Manaforge is officially complete! Yay! I recently received an email from the factory saying that the entire set of games is manufactured, assembled, boxed, wrapped, and ready to ship. I'm definitely happy about this, because it's taken significantly longer than I expected to get to this point. Now I can only hope that I make up a little bit of that lost time with the next phase.
The next phase of the journey is shipping seven pallets of board games from the factory in China to the fulfillment center in the U.K. I've been talking with the company that is handling the shipping, and it seems like all everything is all set. I just have yet to hear any solid confirmation that the games have gone out. I will be pinging the shipping company again over the coming week, just to be sure.
One other interesting note is that two other games are getting shipped along with mine. Same source factory, same destination. Hopefully having three companies leaning on them will be an incentive to keep the process moving, and with a little bit of luck it will end up being cheaper for everyone involved.
Next stop, the U.K.!
