Updates!

We just heard today from Lance that they received After the Empire at the warehouse in Iowa! That means, the games will be shipping very soon! Unless you’re in New Zealand or Australia, then you may already have yours!

Please, as you all start receiving and playing your copies, we’d really appreciate logging and reviewing your experiences on Board Game Geek here. Thank you all SO MUCH for your support and patience. We’re so excited to finally have it out in the world :)

Something to look out for: if you got the Captain of the Guard add-on, please make sure to look for a piece of cardboard that looks like an unnecessary spacer between the game and the shipping box, because the figurine might be hiding in there!

If you’re getting your copy soon and you don’t have anyone to play with in your pod and/or just want play-test the solo mode anyway, please reach out and let us know! We’d love to have you try it out and help us work on it! Evan would be happy to walk you through a play on tabletop simulator or send you some print and play files with the rules. If all goes well, we’re hoping Grey Fox will be releasing the solo mode in the future!

In other news, our friend Tim Eisner’s game Canopy is on the nominations list for the 20 Most Anticipated Games of 2021, go here to vote for it! I’ve played it and really enjoyed it! The art by Vincent Dutrait is beautiful! Also, if you want to see the other games, the alphabetical list is here.

Thank you everyone, and please treat one another with compassion out there!
