June 27, 2020: International Update: Australia, Canada, and the UK/EU

by Phil Reed

The latest news from the warehouse. As you know, we've been extra cautious when it comes to time in the office, which means that our warehouse is running slower than normal. Combine this with shipping issues across the world, and wrapping up the international side of this project has been a difficult experience.

Australia - The shipment is expected to reach our fulfillment partner in Australia in late July. Once they receive the pallet, then they will have to slot the packages into their schedule. When we have news, we'll share it with all of you.
Canada - Everything has shipped to our Canadian partner. Now we wait for them to receive it and for them to fit it into their own workflow.

NOW ON KICKSTARTER!

The POCKET BOX was, for about seven years, the iconic Steve Jackson Games product format. These hard plastic cases, sized to fit the same racks that held paperback books back in the eighties, were everywhere!

Working closely with our partners at GPI, we have taken steps to scan original POCKET BOX games and prepare them for print. Each title was scanned, reviewed by our team, and is as close to the original as we could manage. The only changes to the games are the POCKET BOX design (note), the addition of "2019 Reproduction" to components, and a back cover sheet that is removable once the shrinkwrap is opened.

Car Wars In Car Wars, players design freeway combat vehicles, with weapons, armor, and even body style. Then they take them out on the roads of the future – to come home 'aces,' or crash and burn.

Ogre The giant tank rumbles toward its target . . . its guns are destroyed, its movement crippled, but only a few defenders are left. Will they stop the robot juggernaut, or will it crush the Command Post beneath its gigantic treads?

Illuminati ILLUMINATI is like no game you've ever seen. It's a game of world conquest – not by guns or missiles, but by stealth and guile.

Battlesuit A complete game in itself . . . man-to-man combat in the world of Ogre. Each unit represents a single soldier in a powered-armor fighting suit (well, some troops don't have battlesuits, but those don't usually last too long).
