The Polar Rhinoplast gifted itself some plumpier lips... Maybe you should compliment your familio more often!

For this one time, we are sending our newsletter at the same time as our KS update with slightly different content. If you are a backer, you can ignore this mail and head to our KS update, which is tailored specifically for you!

In this mail we are going to summarize our achievements in 2022 and tell you some of what is coming up in 2023...and we also have a little gift for you at the end :)

We’ll start off with our greatest accomplishment: Kabula, our first board game!

Kabula was funded on Kickstarter in February 2022.

Since then, we have worked tirelessly to revise the game to become the best it possibly can become. This involved countless hours of playtesting online, going through cards over and over again, back and forth with the manufacturer and of course interacting with our backers and newsletter subscribers to get feedback. We also ran two giveaways. Much of this happened on a short notice, so if you are interested in extemporary communications, you may consider joining our socials: Instagram, Facebook and Discord.

If you are new to this mailing list and would like to know something more about Kabula, you can check our Kickstarter page, our BGG profile (there's a blog entry which is quite extensive!) or check what reviewers had to say about it...or just sit back and relax, you will get enough of an idea by checking this newsletter once a month :) 

Our first expected delivery time was February 2023. Unfortunately, we had to switch manufacturer and had some delays due to modifications to the sculpts for the miniatures.
We are hoping to get everything sorted within January, manufacture in February and start delivery in April/May 2023.

Once manufacturing has started, we will also open our Pre-order store again, with a limited number of copies available. You will be notified when this happens!

In our previous newsletter we mentioned prototype copies which is something very exciting for us because we can finally get to play Kabula in person with a version as close to the real one as possible. Even though we loved working on the online version, having a physical copy helps so much with play sessions and spell checks. Since receiving the prototype, we have played with friends and strangers in homes and cafes. We are not stopping though, we will inform you of any new meetups, so if you are close by, you can join us!

What to expect in 2023

We are focusing 90% of our efforts on getting Kabula in your hands but in the meantime, we are slowly working on two new games.

One game is a more fast paced and less “heavy” card game whose placeholder name for now is Dice Havoc. As you can tell, it’s not only a card game but also involves dice! The game is based in the Kabula universe and keeps some of the craziness but at a much lower complexity. Hopefully we have this ready by the end of 2023!

The second game is a story driven, campaign board game with some very cool new mechanics. Let's call it Dark Chrone for now. We don’t want to give away too much on this, but we expect to launch this game in 2024/25 so you will definitely want to stay tuned and follow us everywhere to find out first about it!

During the campaign, there was a stretch goal we could not meet. A stretch goal which generated plenty of buzz...a stretch goal who is still looking for its missing twin.

During sculpt revision we were able to sneak the Weretesticle in, so we are unlocking it for you and it will be included in every copy of Kabula!

Merry Christmas! May its howling warm up your coldest nights!

(Well, we added the christmas hat on powerpoint...) 

From all of us at Stranger Games Studios we wish you all a Happy New Year and hope to see you all around in 2023!
