Hello Travelers,
We hope you are all doing well.
It’s incredible how time flies. It was 3 years ago when we launched this campaign as our first collection experiment and we couldn’t be more thankful to all of you.
All the physical rulebooks of the revised rules (if you opted in) have been sent or are on their way to the destination. For the digital ones, you can read them here.
If you need help, please contact us.
Matchbox in retail? Up to you!
As we said during the campaign, the retail release of these games was not guaranteed, but this year we will start publishing a few of them.
We would love to know more about your experience with the games. We have created a small survey that can be completed in around 5 minutes.
To thank you for your time, we will be drawing 3 winners that will receive a Fridge Bundle of the Soda Pop collection! The deadline for participating in the draw is March 20th, 2023 and the winners will be contacted by mail and announced in our next update.
Fizzy news: Soda Pop is live
Since you backed this campaign, we wanted to let you know that another collection of small games is now live on Backerkit!
Soda Pop is a collection of abstract games for two inside collectible Soda cans, with simple rules (written by Jonathan Cox), but with a neat challenge for more experienced gamers.
If you are curious about it, you can visit our campaign page which is running just for a few more days!
Until next time, we wish you all the best!
Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at Thundergryph Games

Hello Travelers,
We hope you are doing well and we really appreciate your patience while waiting for these two important things.
Rulebooks
We are finally done with the new rulebooks.
It was definitely harder than we expected but we are extremely grateful for your feedback and the amazing help of Jonathan Cox to rework them in a way that makes rules much clearer.
We want to remind you that the gameplay of these five games hasn’t changed, but instead we have worked on the clarity and structure of the rulebooks.
You can immediately download and print the rules in English by following the buttons below. All of the rulebooks are in an A4 paper sheet format that can be folded to fit in the box.
We would like to know your opinion before we start translating the rulebooks and we organize printed copies for those of you who would want them. Please take your time to go through the rules and to play the games. After having played following the improved rules, if the reading was clear and the experience was smooth, please let us know by commenting on this update. We would really appreciate your insight.
📑✔️ How to approve the Rulebooks
If you are happy with the new set of rules and would like to let us know please write in the comments below #approveEIYOsolo #approveEIYOcoop #approve15DAYS #approveSPACELUNCH #approveREBIS #approveGOLEMS or if you are happy with all of them you can approve the whole set by writing #approveALL. Even by going through one of them and approving just a single game would be very beneficial to us, in order to understand how you feel about the improvements.
As soon as we have enough approvals of each rulebook, we will start organizing the next phase.
United Kingdom fulfillment
Last Friday (June 18th), we finally received an answer from HMRC with our official UK EORI number. This means that from now on, we will be able to import our games and fulfill them from within the UK.
Our warehouse in Barcelona has already prepared the pallets that contain all your games and we are awaiting the pickup that should happen this week.
Then we just need to take into account travel time, unpacking at Spiral Galaxy, and organizing the fulfillment to start sending the games out.
We are extremely grateful for your patience and we appreciate your understanding. From now on, we will be able to send the games to the UK directly from China, which will be beneficial for everyone.
We will keep you updated about the progress!
If you need help, please use ourcontact form.
Until next time, we wish you all the best!
Sincerely yours,

May Update: First rulebook and update on UK fulfillment
almost 3 years ago

Hello Travelers,
We hope you are doing well. In this update, there is a bit more info on UK delivery and the rulebooks.
Rulebooks
We thank you so much for your patience while waiting for the rules.
We want to remind you that the gameplay of these five games hasn’t changed, but instead we have worked on the clarity and structure of the rulebooks.
Jonathan Cox rewrote the entire rules by taking into account all of your suggestions in BGG and all the information that the team gathered from you.
Working with him has been enlightening for the entire team as we have been proactively discussing every step of the process.
We also started working with Luis Francisco Baroni for the rulebook layout and we have come up with a very simple solution that will be easy to print (for the ones of you interested in doing this) and very easy to follow.
You can immediately download the updated Rules for 15 Days in English and all the rest of the rulebooks will be shared next week in another update as we are adapting the other 4 games to the new layout design.
We will be putting extra attention to future rulebooks by using and improving this method from now on.
Once all the rules are published we will go through a testing phase where you will be able to vote on the clarity of the rules, if everything goes well, we will proceed with printing them.
United Kingdom fulfillment
Last Friday (May 21st), we finally received an answer from HMRC with more information on how to proceed. They requested several pieces of information regarding our publishing company and all the partners we operate with (manufacturer, import broker, and UK commercial representative).
We promptly sent all the information requested on the following day, Saturday, May 22nd, and at this moment we are awaiting news from the HMRC.
We understand that there is a backlog of European companies trying to do the same and asking for more information from companies will definitely help the HMRC speed things up from now on.
We really hope to have news very soon as this is getting very uncomfortable for all of us.
Thanks for your support and for understanding. Thankfully getting the UK EORI is a process that we will have to do just once in a lifetime and we can’t wait to get it resolved.
If you need help, please use ourcontact form.
Until next time, we wish you all the best!
Sincerely yours,

UK fulfillment and rulebooks update
almost 3 years ago
– Tue, May 04, 2021 at 01:32:29 AM
Hello Travelers,
We hope you are doing well. Here is an update with information on fulfillment and the rulebooks.
Excluding the UK and around 32 orders from the ROW that are being prepared or in transit, all orders have been sent.
United Kingdom fulfillment
We are still waiting for news from our commercial manager in the UK. The company that is helping us is listed under the recommended managers in the Spanish consulate and they have been following the matter closely, even if we were requested not to inquire on the status of the process for the first 30 days and we cannot send one request shortly after the other.
We reached out last week and we will inquire again during this week.
Time is needed to cross-check tax information between both countries and we understand that delays might happen with all the European companies that are requesting a UK EORI, which is fundamental to be able to import our games to the UK and to avoid any charge of taxes to you directly.
That being said, we would like to remind you, as we have done in our previous update, that we will take care of all taxes and duties for our backers from the UK, and you will not have to pay any additional fee to receive the games.
As soon as we have confirmation of our UK EORI code we will send our stock from Spain to Spiral Galaxy Games in order to get the orders fulfilled from within the United Kingdom.
Rulebooks
We thank you so much for your patience while waiting on the rules. Jonathan Cox is still working on them and we have been constantly providing feedback based on all the FAQs that we have collected over Boardgamegeek.
As soon as these will be ready, we will provide them in digital version and wait on your feedback before starting to reprint them for the ones that want them.
Thank you for allowing us to make this right while waiting patiently.
If you need help, please use ourcontact form.
Until next time, we wish you all the best!
Sincerely yours,
Everybody here at Thundergryph Games
