Shipping process is going great!

Hello everyone! As promised, here's a brief follow up on the shipping to let you stay in the know.

We are happy to tell you that things are going smoothly, now let's get to the juicy part straight away! ;)

Start of the American fulfillment!

The American fulfillment is starting right now, in fact the first parcels are being shipped!! :)

Asian fulfillment

As you imagine in Asia shipping processes and other services have been unfortunately slowed down by the Coronavirus. Our partner VFI is working hard to keep up with the backlog and we are constantly reaching out to them to collect as much precise information as possible. As soon as we know more we will of course update you all!

Fulfillment of Australia and New Zealand

Our partner, Unicorn Games, confirmed that the fulfillment will start within next week!

European fulfillment

Our partner will start shipping the parcels from next week, of course being the amount of European parcels really high they will be split in different waves. We don't know in detail which parcels will be shipped first, but due to logistics reasons we can tell that probably Italian ones will be ready before the others.

We will keep you posted about the process' future steps!

Stay tuned.

The ships have left: check their status!

Keep track of the ships!

Hi everyone, how's everyone doing?

We bet all of you will be better after reading this update! We know for sure all vessels have left their port: yay!!!

We know how eager our supporters are to follow the vessels' status, so without further ado here are the names:

• Asia: we reached our Asian partner VFI and they haven't got back at us about the games' shipment, yet. Though we need to take into consideration the terrible circumstances of this awful disease which is affecting all the Chinese territory lately. When we know more we will be sharing the information with you. In the meantime we all hope that the Coronavirus will be erased once and for all.
• Australia+New Zealand: vessel's name is XIN FU ZHOU with final destination in Melbourne (AU).

• USA+Canada: vessel's name is MIRAMARIN with final destination in Tacoma (Washington state in the US).

•  Europe: for convenience the games were split into two vessels instead of just one and their names are MSC DEILA and YM WELLBING. The destination port is Genoa and from there the games will be divided into 3 groups. One will be headed to Strasbourg (France) by our European partners Meeple Logistics, while another one will be handled by our partner Ecourier for the Italian Fulfillment.

• Rest of the world: the games on this category were split between the European and Asian fulfillment centers. We will keep you posted.

Now you can finally have fun and track the ship that contains your games: enjoy!

Stay tuned and take a constant look at our Facebook Page, soon we will have a real juicy surprise for our Icaion supporters 😉

Latest on production and first shipping step!

Hi guys, how is everyone doing?

Here's a quick update to stay in the know. We are thrilled to announce that the production of Icaion is officially over and went as expected: aka great! See all photos below as reference!

The cargoes are almost ready!

Our Chinese factory and our forwarders are very close to arrange the booking of the ships for the cargoes' transportation. As soon as they give us further updates we will share them with you!

Additionally the Asian cargo, whose transportation will be handled by ground instead, will leave the factory after the oncoming Chinese New Year. In fact the Asian manufacturers will return fully operative after February 4th, when they will take care of the cargo.

As soon as we know more about the ships estimates and about the next phases we will let you know through an update, so stick with us ;)

Lockdown next week: Time to update your address

Hello, everyone!

Here's a quick update to keep you posted!

As we stated, recently we took care of locking all the orders. Now the next step ahead of us is to lock all the addresses. Next week we are going to export the whole information and we will hand it over to our fulfillment partners. This means that, if you need to change your shipping information, this is your last chance to update it.

The deadline to lock the addresses will be on December 6th at 6:00 pm cet. Please take into consideration that, after this date, we will hand the addresses to our fulfillment partners and this means we won't be able to change them anymore since they will no longer be under our control.

In order to change your shipping information you just need to go to your Icaion's survey on Backerkit, click "Edit Your Address" in the top right corner of the page and there you can type in your new address.

If, for any reason at all, you do believe that you are going to move in the upcoming months, we suggest to insert the address of a relative or a friend of yours just to be sure. If you need further assistance please feel free to contact our support team at [email protected] and they will help you out.

Pre-production samples are here!

We recently received the pre-production samples and we are very happy with how they turned out to be! Game Board, Player Boards, Event Board, tiles, all cardboard components look neat as expected!

Moreover, what we were also eager to unwrap, were the minis! They surely met our expectations and we absolutely love their details! 

As soon as we have more news we will of course keep you posted! In the meantime, a special treat: some photos of the components, so you can see with your eyes what we are referring to and how the components will look on your table! Enjoy and let us know what you think in the comments :)

Stay tuned, we will be in touch soon!

We received the Miniatures samples, guys!!!

Pre-production minis!

Hello everyone!

Our factory just sent us the first pre-production miniature samples, and we couldn't wait to share them with you all, check them out!

We are using these to check on the detail preservation and any possible issues with the undercuts on the molds, allowing us to adjust some models in order to prevent any problem with the final miniatures.

All the miniatures are looking good, but some of these little fellas needed a couple of adjustments that are being done right now. We expect to receive new samples as soon as we update the models!

Everything is going smoothly and we are right on time with our initial estimates, actually we are a bit early that what we expected! ;)

The 2nd Edition of Barbarians: The Invasion is live on KS!

As some of you may already know, earlier this week we went live on Kickstarter with the Second Edition of our first big game "Barbarians: The Invasion". This campaign was born with the objective of upgrading and improving our first Kickstarter success, basing it on all the feedback we collected during these years from our backers. 

To celebrate our first "second edition", we decided to offer to all our Returning Backers the new Mystic Set add-on entirely for free, and this includes all of you!

Check out the new campaign here if you are interested!

See you soon,
