Hey, everybody. Another update on shipping, it's finally starting to roll out!
Like last time, I'm updating according to the region where the games ship.
Delivery still in progress, few last shipment wating to be dispacthed , it is scheduled to go out to hub around the Mid-Nov. If you don't have the game yet, don't panic :)
+ Mexico.
Unfortunately we are still waiting for a available date when the games will start shipping with the US hub. I tried to speed up the process last week and I'm supposed to receive another update this week, hopefully things will be moving soon. November delivery is still very realistic.
Seems very promising. According to ther last week info, packaging boxes & pick up station for the games to be picked. Shipping out orders from this week, so let´s see how fast it will be.
Note: Retail orders are shipped after backers.
The games arrived earlier and are being shipped from the Czech Republic. I believe many of you have already received the game and if not, please be patient, it will arrive soon.
Note: Retail is shipped together with backers (especially CZ version of the game)
We have a new comprehensive video on how to play the game (CZ). I helped to make sure that all the important aspects of the rules are in the video. English subtitles available.
Kinghill - How to play
I started collecting questions from various places and created a new FAQ on BGG
What about you, have you received the game yet?

Hi everyone. Just a quick update on shipping. If you have any questions, let me know, or email me directly at [email protected]
Distribution to backers is ongoing and if you don't have the game yet, it should arrive soon. I'll try to get some information before the next update to see if there's any problem.
The game is currently sitting in the US warehouse waiting for a suitable date to start final delivery to your hands (I'm on the waiting list). Positive scenario means it will be done by the end of November.
According to the last Gamequest update, games are still on the water. I have connected with them and it´s actually not true - goods was already delivered to the warehouse.

I am waiting to get in contact with my project manager and progress further on. I do not have any specific dates yet, but I see November realistic.
The game will be shipped locally from the Czech Republic (it should arrive at the end of this month).
It will take some time to clear customs, get it to the warehouse and prepare for distribution to backers. Positive scenario means delivery in the first half of November.
One of the lucky ones who already received the game managed to make a playtrough video if you want to watch.
Thanks for your patience, I hope you will all have the game delivered soon!
See you in the next update!
[The Kinghill Chronicles - Chapter 10] When do I get my game?

What a pleasant surprise it was when a comment suddenly popped up that someone had received the game. Getting a game from a kickstarter is always a nice gift. But when you're suddenly in a position where people are getting your first game, it's a whole different thing. First of all, I'm super excited and secondly, of course, I'm nervous if the game will be liked.
Unfortunately only a fraction of backers will receive the game so far, the rest are still somewhere out at sea. Here's the tentative schedule for each region, which please take as a guideline (it´s port date, you have to count some extra for clearance, unpacking, packing and shipping to the end customer).
Asia + NZ + Australia
Delivery is ongoing / will be taking place in the coming weeks
UK + US
early October
Europe
End of October
As soon as I have more info, I'll share it. Getting all backers to receive the game at the same time is logistically very challenging, so hopefully you'll forgive me if someone receives the game before you do.
I'm really looking forward to any questions about the rules, to learn if I've overlooked any significant issues.
If you're wondering about anything, please ask directly on the game's BGG forum so people don't have to track down questions in the kickstarter comments.

At the same time there are several video tutorials on youtube, unfortunately most suffer from inaccurate terminology or a few mistakes. For an overview, I recommend mainly these two:
Kinghill Overview and How to Play
How to play Kinghill - Learn in a Turn
Thank you very much for donations to support the postage that is still open. If you want to support me and get a few promo cards, you still have the opportunity.
Ps: the big announcement is postponed until next time :)

Dear adventurers,
What's been going on for the last month?
Despite a few small things, the production of the game is complete!
I am currently in progress of the whole fulfilment process. Which means mostly bureaucracy and a ton of communication with the manufacturer and shipping partners.
I have arranged to use the services of 3 regional carriers for 4 main "regions" (Asia + NZ, US + Canada, UK, Europe). For each region I need to organise freight and make all the arrangements (mainly filling lots of documents).
But it's also the little things like preparing what will be printed on the shipping boxes, proper SKU code markings, working bar codes, etc. just things you have absolutely no idea about unless you go into the small details of the board game business.
The good news is that most things are hopefully sorted out and the games will get on the ship(s) in the next few weeks. As soon as I have more information, I will prepare an update again.
It is both sad and hilarious to see how fast the situation is changing in terms of fuel and transport costs. And although freight prices have stopped rising, the fuel crisis will easily catch up. Thanks so much everyone for your support to contribute something to cover the extra shipping. As of today, you have contributed a total of $1,390.
Thank you all very much !
Voluntary contributions to cover the extra shipping costs are still open, and if you want a digital addon for the game at the same time, you can still support me:
is coming soon... :)

Pre-orders for the game are completely closed in every way, fulfilment is just a stone's throw away!
Shipping support is still open if you would like to contribute.
