A year ago today, Unreal Estate was just a vision. Look how far we've come!
Bon voyage!
Ever wonder what a truck full of games looks like? Wonder no more...!
♪♪♪ Come sail away, come sail away... ♪♪♪
This was the final view of our games as they rolled away from Bang Wee manufacturing to make their way to us. Wow that's a lot of games!
Sweet listening
Are you a podcast listener? For the next 6 months, Grand Gamers Guild is a sponsor of both On Board Games and The Spiel. In fact you can catch me on a recent episode of OBG, where I chat with Don and Erik about production hiccups.
I've enjoyed these podcasts for years, and to be able to support them as a Sponsor is very gratifying. If you are not yet a listener of these shows, give them a chance. And let them know that the Guild sent you!
On the fence?
Pre-orders for both Unreal Estate and Stroop will be closing on May 15.
"I staunchly refuse to get off my fence."
If you or anyone you know has been on the fence, it's time to scamper off and place an order. Also, our first drawing will take place on June 2. Provide your e-mail for a chance to win a signed copy of Unreal Estate, and subscribe to the Guild newsletter. That's the best way to keep up with the Guild beyond Unreal Estate news.
Have a great Tabletop Day. We'll be helping run games at a our FLGS. Next year at this time you'll be playing Unreal Estate, Stroop, and Pocket Ops (coming to Kickstarter June 6)!
Fondly,

Books, art, & games

The art books are in!
1000 books of Unreal art
Our books are in, and while we don't want to keep you waiting, for the sake of our sanity, we're going to wait for the games to begin fulfillment. We know you've been drooling over Corinne's art since it was first revealed, and the Art of Unreal Estate will allow you to own it all in dimensions very close to the original watercolors. You can still pre-order the art book at a reduced price for a short time. And speaking of art...
For the gamer who has it all
Haunted Caravan
Over the course of the campaign, the feedback on Corinne's art was never ending. We know you want to own it an gaze upon it lovingly. Many of you said that you were not into the idea of the book, but if you could hang it on your wall... So we got to thinking, and decided to make all of the art available to you for purchase. Now you can own your favorite Unreal Estate art in a number of formats. Check out our Art Store.
But what about my games?!?
Enough with the art, right? You want to know about your games! Well...everything is in process. Boxes, boards, and cards are all being printed. Just as I was preparing this update, we got a picture of the new Airship meeple and you can see the incredible improvement.
Not ready for prime time
Ready to fly the Unreal skies
With this final issue settled, we have pulled the trigger, and both Unreal Estate and Stroop are now in full production. If everything keeps moving, we've been told it will land in our Distributor's warehouse on June 1.
Tomorrow will make my fourth(!) convention of the year, and I'm headed out to Whosyercon with Stroop Designer Jonathan Chaffer. If you are there, please find us and game with us!

Reviewers and Designers need apply!
If you've not visited Guild HQ in a while, we've made some changes. The chance to win a copy of Unreal Estate is still there, but we wanted to let Reviewers and Designers know we are 'Open for Business'. If you are a Reviewer who wants to blog, podcast, or video review our games, click here. (We'll also be doing Reviewer previews of our next games at Origins by invitation. Seats are limited, so click now.) If you are a Designer who wants to be considered for publication, click here. And if you want to know about where the Guild is going to be, check that out here. Our first stop is...
Breakout
We're going international!
Backers, we're headed to Toronto, and we'll be running events of Unreal Estate, Stroop, Pocket Ops, and Endangered at Breakout the weekend of March 11. Here's a chance to the GuildMaster in person, as well as glimpse the future of the Guild!
Manufacturing Update
It's really real!
For the Stroop-o-philes
These came via e-mail this week. Overall very exciting, BUT those with a discerning eye will notice that the Airship first player marker does not look as sharp as it should--quite frankly, it does not meet our standards. We are working with Bang Wee on solutions to that problem. Everything else just shines, and we could not be happier.
That's all for now!

Wait... What? Another Update?

We'll make this one a quickie. If you read the previous update, you know that here at the Guild we LOVE our secrets and surprises.
Waaay back in 2016--remember those good times?--the folks at Tantrum House did a video for our campaign. They loved Unreal Estate so much that they asked if we would create a promotional card. After we were done blushing, we had Corinne create the Tantrum House "Orphanage"!
See what we did there?
Don't throw a fit. You an get these extra special Special Building cards by supporting our friends on their Kickstarter. It's the only way to get them (for now).
