Latest Updates from Our Project:

Shipping update πŸ“¦ and some FAQ's
5 days ago – Tue, Oct 29, 2024 at 02:49:15 AM

Hi all!

Another quick update about shipping and some FAQ's.

Europe πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί and North America πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦
All games for Europe and North America have been shipped and most of you should have received your game()s. If you have not received your game yet, please let us know, so we can look in to it.

It could be that your shipment was send in 'Batch 2'. Just before Spiel in Essen we collected al the data from Backerkit. Some people had not filled in the survey yet. That data was processed later and send in one batch, which will be shipped this week.

Rest of the World πŸ—ΊοΈ
Unfortunately there was some delay in the shipment to the rest of the world. Most games were send out last week and the planning is to send out the rest this week.

Some FAQ's

Bable πŸ›•
There is a typo in the components list.Β 
In the rule book it states that there are 25 Word cards πŸ’¬.Β 
There are however 24.
You are not missing any cards πŸ˜…, we just all overlooked this typo.

Grachtenpand 🌷
Some people were not enjoying the 2 player experience as much. Zach made a variant for 2 players which you can findhere on BGG.Β 
We hope you enjoy this variant!

Time Zoo 🦣
We left out 2 things in the rule book πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
Once the Food card πŸ—πŸŸπŸŒ deck runs out, you Β shuffle the discard pile to create a new draw pile. Keep the top 4 cards of the former discard pile to start a new one.
There are tiebreakers in the game.Β 
If 2 or more players have the same amount of points, use these tiebreakers:
1. The player with the most different Animal cards wins, if there is still a tie:
2. The player with the most Animals cards of the same colour wins, if there is still a tie:
3. The tied players share the victory.

Cheers,

The ABGD Team

PS: We are already working of 3 new games for 'Season 2'. Stay tuned for more information about these games next week!

Hi all,

Shipping of the games has started! πŸ₯³

Some people in the Netherlands πŸ‡³πŸ‡± already received their copies and the rest of Europe πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί should follow this and next week.

The games that will be send to the rest of the world 🌍 , will be shipped out later this week and/or at the beginning of next week.

⚠️ Promo pack ⚠️ 
It seems that the promo pack was a bit hidden in the packaging for some people.
The cards are packed separately in a paper wrapper, be on the look out for that.
Don't throw it away, the paper is not just filling for the packaging πŸ˜…Β 

Cheers,

The ABGD Team

Hi all!

Today's update is a bit different. It's all about pizza πŸ•πŸ›΅
Amsterdam Board Game Design is more than just Bable πŸ›•, Grachtenpand 🌷 and Time Zoo πŸ¦–. We are a community of designers and we want to promote other project within that community.

We hope you don't mind that we tell you about Pizza Chef - The Next Generation πŸ• a new game by Benki games coming to Kickstarter next week!
In this family board game, you'll compete with your 'colleghi' for the coveted title of pizza chef πŸ‘©β€πŸ³. Do you have what it takes?

Pizza Chef - The Next Generation is illustrated by Jason Gamber, the illustrator of Grachtenpand and Time Zoo!

Follow them on Kickstarter now and you will be notified when the campaign goes live. It's pizza time!Β 

Keep playing games (and eat pizza πŸ˜‰),

The ABGD team
