The French, German, Italian, and Spanish games are all in the process of being shipped and we expect sail dates for all between Feb 1 and Feb 3.
French Language Games being shipped by Ascynron Games
Cosco England
Asyncron has sent us the following information. The French language Viking games were picked up from the printer last Friday and will be loaded onto the ship COSCO ENGLAND, which is scheduled to depart port on Feb 1st destined for Antwerp. Asyncron estimates that they will begin shipping the games the week of March 19th.
The Cosco England container ship is registered in Hong Kong and you can track its progress on its voyage to Europe on MarineTraffic.com. This is a very interesting site since it gives you a picture of the incredible amount of traffic on the ocean at any given time. Enter Cosco England in the left-hand search icon window and you will see its location and route!
I scrolled even closer and hovered over the ship below. You can see from the provided ship details what its location is, its next destination port, and that this information was updated 12 minutes ago!
We will post the ship details for the German, Italian, and Spanish language Viking games in the next few days.
I wish you a wonderful week.
Sincerely, Uwe

878 Vikings non-English Production Schedule:
The printer has told us that they expect to have all language games printed by December 8th. This includes the French, German, Italian and Spanish language games. We then expect the games to leave Shanghai for Europe by Dec 18th, with an expected delivery to our publishing partners in mid-January.
French: L'imprimeur nous informe qu'il aura terminé de produire tous les jeux de nos partenaires étrangers (France, Allemagne, Italie et Espagne) le 8 décembre.
Nous prévoyons que les jeux vont quitter Shanghai pour l'Europe le 18 décembre. Nos partenaires devraient donc les recevoir fin janvier au plus tard.
Spanish: Según las últimas estimaciones de la imprenta, se espera que todos los juegos en el resto de idiomas acabe su producción el día 8 de Diciembre. Esto incluye los juegos en Francés, Alemán, Italiano y Español.
Esperamos que los juegos embarquen 10 días después (18 de Diciembre) y lleguen a sus destinos a mediados de Enero.
English Language Worldwide Shipments
All 878 Vikings games should have been received by our New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Canada, and USA supporters. If you have not received your game or a tracking number, please email us at [email protected].
European Supporters should receive a DHL notification by Friday since our fulfiller in Germany has assured us that they will have all games packed by then. (Please note that it often takes an additional day for DHL to input and process tracking numbers.) The shipments for this campaign have been drawn out, since the fulfiller had to ship four KS campaigns at the same time, including Gloomhaven. This delayed the shipments of our games for over a month.
We are currently in contact with some UK fulfillment houses, to expedite European shipments for our next KS project.
We wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving Holiday.

Worldwide 878 Vikings English language shipping update.
Non-English language production update.
MEDIEVAL now on Kickstarter
I hope that everyone that has received their copies of 878 Vikings has had a chance to play this incredible game! :)
For those that are still waiting for their pledge, I have posted below the latest information that we have received from our fulfilment partners and customs officials.
USA, Canada, Asia, and South America - Fulfillment completed
Australia - all games should have been shipped by Lets Play Games by today. But it may take a few more days to arrive to your address, so please give it another week to arrive.
Europe - Happy Shops has been shipping games for the past week and has now completed 3/4 of the shipments. We were told that it may take another 5 working days to get all remaining pledges out the door. Mark Dove in the UK was kind enough to describe how his game was shipped:
"I got an email from Happyshops on 17 Oct advising dispatch via DHL Germany together with a tracking number and a link where I could input the tracking number to check the whereabouts of the parcel. Once the parcel reached the UK, the DHL Germany tracking stated another tracking number for DHL UK (called UK Post IIRC) This allowed me to check progress in the UK. I got a text message the day before delivery advising it would be delivered next day and a text message on the day of delivery giving me a time slot. Package arrived 20 Oct. I know it’s not much of a help but I can state that the game is really good and in my opinion worth the wait."
New Zealand - Our pallets of games have been sitting in our broker's warehouse in Sydney for the past two weeks, waiting for customs to release the shipment. We sent all paperwork to the authorities on Oct 23rd and are still awaiting a response. We have been sending release requests on a daily basis and finally were assigned a contact person. Hopefully, we can get this resolved by week's end. We will keep you updated.
French, German, Italian, and Spanish language games. The games are in full production. The printer has been very attentive to the details of each language edition and in some cases has reformatted, and then sought re-approval from the publishers. I will post updates as we receive them. The printer has been sending us pictures of the games in production and they do look good!
My friend Jeff Newell and his team at HGN Games are running a Kickstarter campaign for Medieval. This is a totally improved remake of the Medieval classic first published in 2003.
In Medieval, you lead a cabal, which you must expand through a combination of card playing, dealmaking, and conquest.
Other cabals forge plots of their own and wage shadow wars against you, with armies and navies, assassinations and papal schemes, heretics and spies. Throw in a couple of plagues and claims of heresy, plus a Mongol invasion to end the game, and you’ve got yourself a fantastic evening.
