Before we close the book on Excalibur, we wanted to take a moment to properly thank everyone who made this incredible journey possible. It takes a village to bring a game to life, and we were blessed to have an exceptional one.
A Final Thank You
Bringing a game from concept to thousands of doorsteps across the world takes an extraordinary team. We are deeply grateful to everyone who was part of this journey.
To our manufacturing partner Longshore, thank you for your craftsmanship, patience, and dedication throughout production. From the chips to the swords to the collector boxes, everything came out beautifully.
To our fulfillment partners, CABVI (USA & MX), GamesQuest (Europe), Ziing (Canada), Armarlo (Australia & NZ), and VFI (Asia & rest of world). Thank you for getting thousands of games safely across the globe. This is no small feat, and these teams pulled it off with care and professionalism.
Lastly, thank YOU! Our dedicated backers. We are so blown away by all your support and enthusiasm. Thank you for helping make Excalibur a success.

We did it!
After months of production, freight, and fulfillment across the globe, we're thrilled to announce that Excalibur fulfillment is essentially complete! Nearly every backer should have their game by now, with just a few stragglers still making their way through the postal system.
This has been an incredible journey, and we couldn't have done it without your patience, enthusiasm, and support. Thank you for backing Excalibur and for sticking with us every step of the way.
Final Regional Status
Australia & NZ: COMPLETE! 🎉
Canada: COMPLETE! 🎉
USA & MX: COMPLETE! 🎉 Reshipments have been made to the 8% of US backers affected by the FedEx issue. If you were affected, you should have received one or more emails about this already.
UK: COMPLETE! 🎉
EU: COMPLETE! 🎉 A number of packages may still be en route, but they are all dispatched from the fulfillment center at this point.
Asia (& "rest of world"): All direct shipments are complete (for example, to China or Macao). Most other countries are fulfilled by a hub partner within that country. Each backer's order is fully packed and boxed by VFI, then when the hub shipment arrives, they are sent out very quickly. See the VFI hub page for details about individual countries (scroll down to Excalibur).
What's Next: Retail Release on May 13th! 🏪
Now that backer fulfillment is wrapped up, Excalibur Essentials Edition hits retail on May 13th!
Keep an eye out for it on shelves, and don't hesitate to recommend it to fellow gamers looking for a game of lighthearted trickery and cunning!
Replacement Parts/Errors with Your Shipment
While we have great confidence in our production and fulfillment partners, we know that mistakes can happen. If you receive your rewards and you need assistance with replacement parts or damages, please follow these steps:
Thoroughly check both your shipping box and game box for missing items.
Please take photos of any damage, including damage to shipping boxes. Do not throw away damaged shipping boxes until you have taken pictures.
If you are missing an entire game or add-on, please take photos of your packing slip and all the items you received. Send an email to [email protected] that includes your full name and the photos.
Tell us specifically which components are missing and/or damaged.
Please include photos of any damaged components. For missing components, include photos of the components you did receive. (This helps us make sure you receive the correct replacement item!)
This is our final Kickstarter update for Excalibur. It's been an honor to bring this game to life with all of you, and we're so grateful for your support throughout the entire campaign and fulfillment process.
We hope you love playing Excalibur as much as we loved creating it. Share your game nights with us on social media, post your thoughts on BoardGameGeek, and most importantly: have fun!
Fulfillment Update: 75% Complete! 📦
7 months ago

Hey everyone!
We're closing in on the finish line! As you can see from the timeline below, we're at 75% fulfillment overall, with some regions wrapped up and others in the home stretch.
Regional Fulfillment Updates
Australia/NZ: COMPLETE! 🎉
Canada: COMPLETE! 🎉
US & MX: All orders have been shipped! However, an unfortunate FedEx issue has affected about 8% of US backers. More details below.
UK: Fulfillment is underway! About 1/3 of orders have been shipped. The rest will likely be shipped out by the end of next week.
EU: The freight shipment was delivered to GamesQuest's German hub yesterday! It should take about 3 weeks to fulfill the project. Stay tuned for updates on GamesQuest's blog.
Asia (& "rest of world"): All direct shipments are complete (for example to China or Macao). Most other countries are fulfilled by a hub partner within that country. Each backer's order is fully packed and boxed by VFI, then when the hub shipment arrives they are sent out very quickly. See the VFI hub page for details about individual countries (scroll down to Excalibur).
US FedEx Tracking Issue Update:
We want to give you a transparent update on the tracking issue that affected a portion of US shipments, and let you know exactly what we're doing to make it right.
What happened
Following shipment, we identified a technical glitch within FedEx's system that affected the tracking data for some orders. We have confirmed that this is not an issue with our warehouse partner CABVI or ShipStation. FedEx has acknowledged responsibility for the error. Affected orders fall into two groups: shipments with valid tracking that show no movement, and shipments with no tracking data available at all.
Where things stand
FedEx conducted a manual search of their Marcy, NY facility and confirmed that packages have physically left this location and are moving through the network. Their operations team is actively investigating, and we are in regular contact with them at a senior level. The situation is developing quickly. The number of affected orders is narrowing as packages are located and advanced within their system, and we expect that picture to become clearer over the next several days.
What this means for you
We are committed to reshipment for every order that cannot be located and delivered. We are holding off on initiating reships immediately to ensure we have an accurate final list as reshipping now risks unnecessary duplication and could complicate FedEx's investigation. We want to get this right rather than move fast and create new problems.
We have identified the affected orders and are confirming the final list. We will follow up with a concrete reshipment timeline as soon as we have a clearer picture, which we expect within the next week. If you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact our support team at [email protected].
Thank you for your patience and your continued support. We're committed to making this right.

A note about fulfillment
If fulfillment has started in your region, but you haven’t received a shipping notification yet, please don’t worry! Our fulfillment partners pack and ship pledges as efficiently as possible, but with thousands of rewards to ship, processing all pledges will take some time. We kindly ask that you refrain from emailing our customer service team for a status update unless we announce that fulfillment is complete and you still haven’t received anything. Our team is working diligently to manage all the moving parts of fulfillment, and extra emails can slow down the process. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
We're almost there! Thanks for your continued patience as we get the final shipments out.
Fulfillment Update: Two Regions all Shipped! 🎉
7 months ago
– Thu, Apr 02, 2026 at 02:33:50 PM
Hey everyone!
We're thrilled to report that all pledges in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada are officially shipped, and the USA & Mexico are 90% out the door. Games are landing on doorsteps, and we're absolutely loving the unboxing posts and game night photos we're seeing across social media and BGG. Keep them coming! Continue to share with us here, on BoardGameGeek, and on social. We love hearing from you and seeing your posts.
Here's the latest for each region:
Australia/NZ: COMPLETE! 🎉
Canada: COMPLETE! 🎉 (There may be some packages still en route, but fulfillment is wrapped up)
USA & Mexico: 90% of packages have been dispatched. Games have started arriving to a number of backers, and we love seeing those posts on social media!
EU: Backers should have received an address confirmation email from GamesQuest on April 1st to make any last-minute corrections that are needed. Instructions are included in this email, and there is a deadline of April 6th to be able to make address changes. Freight finally reached port on April 2nd! Barring unexpected customs delays, it will be delivered to GamesQuest's German hub by mid-month. Fulfillment should begin in mid-April and is estimated to take 3 weeks to complete.
UK: Backers should have received an address confirmation email from GamesQuest on April 1st to make any last-minute corrections that need to be made. Instructions are included in this email, and there is a deadline of April 6th to be able to make address changes. The shipment is being delivered to GamesQuest on April 7th. We have been told that 3 weeks is a safe estimate for the UK as well, so fulfillment should wrap up by the end of April, possibly early May.
Asia (& "rest of world"): All direct shipments are complete (for example, to China or Macao). Most other countries are fulfilled by a hub partner within that country. Each backer's order is fully packed and boxed by VFI, then when the hub shipment arrives, they are sent out very quickly. See the VFI hub page for details about individual countries (scroll down to Excalibur).
Exceptions: If you are located in a "completed" region, but placed a pre-order recently or only just completed your pledge manager, your pledge may have missed the first wave of shipments.

Celebrating Canadian Game Design 🇨🇦
We've got exciting news to share with our Canadian backers and anyone who loves Canadian game design!
Canadian publishers are joining forces to celebrate the imagination and creativity in board games from our true northern home. Play The North is a multi-day gaming event spread throughout the year and throughout the country. The intention is to encourage play and to highlight some of the incredibly talented designers, artists, and publishers that Canada has to offer.
Play The North will connect Canadian board game retailers and players with Canadian publishers through curated events, demos, and other programming.
This is a joint initiative founded by KTBG, Burnt Island Games, Roxley Games, Steeped Games, Inside Up Games, Off The Page Games, and Pe Metawe Games. We're looking to grow, adding new partners and collaborators over time.
The first event will be at Pe Metawe in Edmonton, Alberta, on September 25-27. Stay tuned for more announcements of upcoming events.
As Excalibur fulfillment wraps up, our next campaign is coming soon! Brass: Pittsburgh launches on Gamefound on March 24th with something we've never done before: localized campaign pages and games in seven languages from day one (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Simplified Chinese, and Polish).
