Endeavor: Age of Sail has climbed 14 spots since the beginning of April. That is pretty incredible at this point. It is just shy of the top 150 games on BGG. If you want to see that happen, please be sure to rate the game here.

What's Next?

You might have already heard ... Endeavor: Age of Expansion is headed to Kickstarter very soon. Stay tuned for more information about the Kickstarter. You won't want to miss it!! 

Play-Testing Endeavor: Age of Expansion, Expansion

Thank you to everyone who has signed up for play-testing. Originally we were going to have a finite number of you play-test. But there was such an overwhelming response, we've decided to allow everyone to play-test for us. Keep your eyes out for an email from [email protected] within the next 24 hours. In it you will find a link to a dropbox with the Print and Play for the expansion, as well as a link to the google form you'll need to fill out once your group has played 3 times. We think that playing 3 times will give you a real sense of how the expansion works and what you think of it. Looking forward to hearing from you!!

Calling All Playtesters

Ahoy Backers! 

Things continue to go exceptionally well for Endeavor: Age of Sail. We are all but sold out in distribution, and we continue to rise up the BGG rankings... 

.
.

166!! What more could we ask for?  

HOW ABOUT AN EXPANSION?!?  

This team has had a gem in our back pocket for a long time. We got to play it long ago, even before the Kickstarter, and recently it has come to the table again.  The expansion allows you to take the game you already love and turn it on its head with a completely different and entirely new building set. It means you'll experience the same game with so many new actions. If you ask us, it is outstanding!! Now's the part where you come in...  

Playtest, anyone?

While we feel that the new building set is pretty nicely polished, it takes an entire crew for a successful voyage. And so we are opening up the opportunity to playtest the new building set to our Backers, limited to 100 playtesting groups.  If you are accepted to playtest, we'll ask you to get the expansion to the table at least 4 times in the 30 days from when we open up the playtest. Each time, we will ask that you complete a Google Form of your experience.  If this sounds like your kind of fun, you can --> sign up here <--.

Level 5 Replacement Tiles

Shipping for the tiles is underway. Marc does about 30 of them a day. Unfortunately Marc and I live in different countries. This means that we can't do them together. They are steadily moving out. If you have not received them, please don't worry. You'll get them. If you could hold off on asking if yours have been sent, it would alleviate a lot of work on our end. We promise that if you have filled out the survey, you'll get your tiles.

"No Payment" Tiles

We've had a couple of people ask us when we are going to begin the process of sending out tiles. Marc started sending them out last week. He is doing as many as he can every day, as there are so many requests for them. He is nowhere near done, so, if you haven't received your tiles yet, don't fret because they are on their way to you. There is no telling how long this process will take. But we will keep you updated along the way.

What We're Up To
