Hey everyone!

Just dropping in for a quick update. Production is continuing well and we anticipate setting up the freight shipments by the end of the year! When I have a slightly more solid schedule, I'll post with the dates that the post-campaign will be wrapping up and anticipated fulfillment schedule!

Have a great weekend!

Hello ello~

I'm sure you're all eager to hear more about what's been going on. Right now half of the team is over in Essen Spiel attending the Largest Tabletop Convention! While on the home front we are awaiting news from the production pipeline. 

As you already know, we had the production samples come in for review. There were some very minor adjustments that needed to be looked over but nothing earth shattering. So there isn't anything to worry about! We are still on track for our estimated Delivery in May 2023!

In the meantime, I hope you guys enjoy a delectable Halloween filled with sweets. 

Anyone wearing a banana costume this year?

August 9, 2022 - Production Samples Are In! Come see!

Hey everyone!

I just rolled in from Otakuthon, but I wanted to get a quick update out here because waiting for me were the samples for Bananya! When I excitedly mentioned it to a couple friends, Akiko was almost as excited as I was, and asked if I could do my production review a bit different this time. After she and I talked a bit, I said sure!

So do you want to see it live? Akiko will be streaming, tomorrow at 11 a.m. Eastern (8 a.m. Pacific) on her Twitch channel and asked me to give her a call when I'm ready to open them up and take a look so she can share with everyone, and we'd both love it if you could stop in to her cafe and join us! I have what should be the final sample of the base game, the cards from the expansions, and the limited edition game. Just the box for the limited edition looks great, I can't wait!

If you can't make it, I'll be posting pictures and probably a video clip afterwards! We hope to see you there!

Ooops sorry retailers!

Hey everyone!

A couple things to update - and an apology for retailers!

Samples coming!

I've been told that samples of the games will be on the way to me in the next few days - I'll take lots of pictures when they arrive, and we anticipate that they should be approved fairly quickly so production should move along!

I've also been told that playmats are in production, which means they'll be able to be shipped to us before too long. Hopefully without too many delays.

Retailers - check your BackerKit again!

Sorry retailers, I made a mistake when setting up the BackerKit, and a couple of you reported not seeing your discount on add-ons - I believe I got that fixed for you now, please let me know if you're still not seeing correct pricing, and if you already completed your order and need me to adjust for you!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
