    Hey Rob! Sorry that we didn't get back to you sooner! Our customer service department has been overloaded and our primary aim has been to our Kickstarter backers. Again, so sorry for the delay!
    Glad you got a hold of a copy though!

    I just found a copy on Ebay for a decent price. It arrives tomorrow. I can't wait! This game looks amazing and has incredible reviews. 😃

    I backed the KS and they've been great with communication there. I'm guessing they've got their hands fun with fullfilling Stars and their work on Mythwind. I've been painting the minis and can't wait to get it to the table. It takes inspirations from 7th Continent and streamlines it. It takes inspirations from Gloomhaven and speeds up set up. It takes inspiration from X-Wing and gives more luck mitigation.

    After hearing you gush in this, it was an insta-buy for me. I ordered it from a distributor here in Georgia. Hopefully I'll have it later this week

    I think you were unlucky with the customer support, they have been amazingly communicative throughout development through discord and Facebook. They involved and listened to players through playtesting, but being their first massive game I suspect they have been all hands to the wheel as the games hit distribution and in recognition of this they just appointed a new community liason person and communication lines are already improving. Once you get to grips with Akarios I'd have a look at their other two projects (mythwind and stonesaga which both look like introducing new and exciting things to our boardgaming world)

    I think this looks better than Oathsworn. I watched an old video of yours and you had a tiger hand puppet (the doorways for Forbidden Fortress) and I think a Scarlet the cow puppet might be nice.

    Looks a great game Rob, It's really involved, and lot of time would be spent playing trough the book? but I feel people who pay Retail end up paying through the Nose for KickStarter games if they ever come to Retail? That said I'm looking forward to your playthrough 🤗

    I'm surprised you can actually get this from the publisher's website. No markup either, though it is expensive. Their other two games Mythwind and Stonesaga seem interesting too.

    You should probably be a bit more patient with the customer service aspect since you tried contacting them out of the blue during fulfillment through some of the most challenging times, it's a relatively new small company and they're delivering a big box game with miniatures. You even got the founder watching your small channel video about his game and apologizing for the delay personally. Seems pretty decent, I've waited more than 10 days for CMON to respond to me.
