Production Update and Survey Delay

Production Status
Yesterday, we reviewed the Shuffle Dungeons digital proofs from the manufacturer. Other than one small error, everything looked great! We have since resolved the error and resubmitted the impacted file.
Our next step for production is for the manufacturer to create our production prototype to make sure all of the pieces come out as expected. They estimate 2-4 weeks for this process, and we'll be sure to keep you informed on any updates!
BackerKit Survey Delay
As we mentioned in our previous update, we sent out a test to a small number of backers to make sure the Pledge Surveys were functioning as expected. Based on the results so far, our surveys are working as intended.
However, BackerKit has encountered a technical issue affecting our project. Due to the new "Late Pledges" feature from Kickstarter, BackerKit is having difficulty importing our data from Kickstarter. We thought the issue was remedied when sending out our initial test, but we have since learned the problem is ongoing.
Because of this, BackerKit has requested we hold off on sending the remaining surveys until the issue is resolved. Once we are confident a solution is in place, we will inform you and send out the surveys promptly.
Pledge Survey Update

Thank you all for your patience with getting the surveys ready. Today, we sent out a test to 5% of our backers to make sure everything is running smoothly. As long as there are no issues found, we expect to send out the surveys to our remaining backers next week!
Note about the Surveys
For those of you familiar with BackerKit, there will be one slight change to the usual survey process. Because we did late pledges for Shuffle Dungeons, BackerKit is unable to import the purchased add-ons from Kickstarter.
If you purchased an add-on, there will be a credit to your account in BackerKit. All you need to do is reselect your add-on purchases to ensure you receive your rewards.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us!
Deck Tower Mock-Up and More!

Another two weeks has gone by and we've been busy as ever. We have made some awesome progress and wanted to share it with you all!
Production Update
After a back and forth on our design files, the manufacturer has approved them! Next, they will provide digital proofs for our review to ensure the files will print as we expected. If everything looks good, the manufacturer will begin working on our prototype.
Pledge Management Surveys
We will be sending out our surveys shortly after we figure out everyone's favorite topic... taxes. Making sure we comply with all sales tax in the US and VAT taxes internationally is taking slightly longer than expected, so it may be another week or two until the surveys go out.
Deck Tower Mock-Up
We wanted to thank you for your patience as you waited for our Deck Tower Mock-Up. We took the assets and made 3D model in blender so you could see what it looked like assembled. Once we get our prototype, we'll share some additional pictures of the physical tower, but enjoy these shots in the meantime!
2 Weeks Out!

We've been working hard over the past couple weeks, and we're excited to bring you the first post-campaign update. Though a short update, we want to make sure you're all kept in the loop! Expect to get these regularly every few weeks.
Production Update
We have been working with our manufacturer since the campaign ended to complete the design verification process with them. Once the files are ready to be printed, we'll be getting a production prototype to ensure impeccable quality. We'll keep you posted as this progresses!
Deck Tower Status
We are still working on putting together an example of the Deck Tower that was unlocked as the last Stretch Goal. We plan to have a mock-up ready for you to see for our next update!
Post Campaign Surveys
Post Campaign Surveys will be heading your way soon. We plan to start the smoke test in the next two weeks, with the rest following up shortly after.
As an added bonus, enjoy seeing my cat Kona stare down the Magma Ram!

Wow! This has been quite the journey. We know we've said it a lot, but thank you for your support. As a relatively new company in the Board Game space, it's been awesome to see our project grow along with this fantastic community! Shuffle Dungeons has been made possible thanks to all of you.
Let's look at all that we've accomplished with your support here on Kickstarter, and the support of our Discord members:
- Added additional content with new Boss Monsters
- Upgraded Component Quality
- Added new Components
- Improved Game Mechanics and Visuals
- Unlocked Additional Shipping Hub for Australia
We have a lot of work ahead of us to create Shuffle Dungeons, and we'll make sure to update you regularly with our progress. You should also expect an update within the next few weeks about filling out the Pledge Management Surveys.
From all of us here at Zero Strategy Games, sincerely, thank you.
