Aegean Sea

Hey friends, I apologize for being away from things for quite a while. Last two months were quite rough and I've had very little time available for games-biz, but things are hopefully getting back to normal now. 

EU shipping is underway (and many have received games already!) - If you received an email asking for address confirmation from our fulfillment partner it is indeed legit - they sent out a form email naming the wrong campaign in one spot. If you haven't received that email (or your game), let me know and I'll see if another can be sent.

AU/NZ shipping is beginning hopefully next week. Container took longer to arrive, but is unloaded and fulfillment ops are underway! 

Replacement parts that I'd hoped would be going on in September I'm just getting to now - I apologize for anyone who's missing game/parts in North America, I'll be shipping out many things next week once I get games on hand.

I've received word that our AU/NZ shipping timeline will be very similar to the Europe timeline we shared int he last update. Games are in a container due to arrive in Australia in early October, with fulfillment happening a week or two after depending on clearance and whatnot.

If you are a backer from AU/NZ, and have any address change, the deadline will be October 4. 

Hey all, quick update with scheduling info for Europe. We had a much much longer delay than expected getting these games into a container and on a boat, but that's happened now and fulfillment will be starting up the second week of October for European backers. Apologies for the delay.

If you need to submit an address change, please do it via email to aegeansea (at) asmadigames (dot) com. We've received a few already, but honestly it wouldn't hurt to send it again. It's been a very difficult couple months for me and I know a few emails have been lost along the way. 

We're going to be streaming my filming session for the Aegean teaching video today at 4PM Eastern on twitch.tv/asmadigames - We'll be posting the edited-down video to YouTube (youtube.com/asmadigames) afterwards, probably tomorrow. 

The video's going to be in the style of how I'd teach the game to someone, showing rules and adding mechanics in escalating fashion. Aegean's a lot of game, and teaching it can be tough if you don't have a strategy going in! Hopefully this is helpful to folks :)

Feel free to ask questions in chat, and we'll get to them between takes, or just hang out and watch Ivy surely jump on the table mid-demo. 

EDIT: Due to a cat intervention, I'm rescheduling this for 1PM tomorrow, tech troubleshooting the power cable fallout.

Hello, and good afternoon, future sailors of the Aegean Seas! 

We had a great time at Gen Con, and were happy to meet (and hand off games to) a number of you who stopped by the booth. Got to play some demo games of Aegean as well, which was great to do finally. If you're in North or South America, your games are already on the way (some have even arrived, it appears). You should've received a tracking email. If you didn't, check spam - if it's not there, let me know and I'll see what happened.  

As is inevitable, there's one (small) error in the rulebook. The setup diagram shows two copies of the same player's starting inner island, instead of one from each player. All the text is correct, and it's pretty clear what's intended. We did a late edit of the rulebook to clarify a sentence later on (which is fine), and somehow InDesign took that opportunity to muck up a file-include. Sorry about that! 

I'll be recording a rules explanation video in the coming days, to help folks get off the ground. Aegean's a fascinating puzzle of mechanics, and once you get it it's a whole lot of fun. 

If your copy has any issues (damaged in shipping, missing cards/components), our replacements form is at https://asmadigames.com/replacements .  I do not yet have my copies of the game, so it'll be a week or two before I can start mailing out bits.

For those outside NA/SA, we're still waiting for freight to arrive at hubs, I'll share more when I know more! Our goal would be for you all to have your games arriving in September or early October.
