Dear Backers,

We have some exciting updates to share with you as we move closer to fulfillment!

The four-season playmat is officially done! We’ve received a couple of photos from the manufacturer, and it looks fantastic. One photo shows the playmat rolled up and packaged, ready for delivery, while the other shows it laid flat on a table over a keyboard. We’re thrilled with how it turned out, and we think you’ll love it too. The playmats will be delivered to the fulfillment center soon, and we’re eager to get them into your hands.

The table-size playmat is on track to be completed by the end of the month. We’re closely monitoring its progress and will provide more updates as soon as it’s done. This playmat is a significant piece, and we’re ensuring that every detail meets our high standards.

We’re excited to announce that we will begin fulfillment next week! For those who ordered the table-size playmat along with other items, please note that the table-size playmat will ship separately due to its size. We want to make sure everything arrives in perfect condition, so this approach will help us manage logistics more effectively.

Thank you for your patience and continued support. We’re almost there, and we can’t wait for you to receive your Cat Sudoku products!

Best regards,
Ta-Te

Dear Backers,

We apologize for the issues with pin selection and shipping rates. We’re pleased to inform you that both issues have now been resolved.

So far, 60% of our backers have completed their pledge manager. If you haven’t finished yours yet, please click-click-click your options at your earliest convenience :) If you have any questions or need assistance, please let us know.

By the way, I had a chance to meet our Cat Sudoku artist Kaiami at Cat-Con last weekend, and she gave me some super adorable sticker sheets! You can find them on her online store https://kaiami.net/

Lastly, someone asked about the Cat Sudoku games. The roll-and-write Cat Sudoku game, Roll for Kyoto, is currently out of print. However, we are excited to announce that we will be launching a new Cat Sudoku card game, Summer Festival, on Kickstarter in September. In the same campaign, if funded, we will also reprint the roll-and-write version.

If you click the link below, follow the campaign, and back a copy of Summer Festival, we will send you a Cat Sudoku coaster with your game!

Happy Friday!

Hope you are doing well. We have several updates to share with you!

Great news—the pledge manager is ready! You should received an email earlier today, allowing you to add additional purchases and fill out your mailing address. Keep an eye on your inbox for this important message.

Unfortunately, we encountered an issue with the add-on "Cat Sudoku Enamel Pins - Any 3." At this time, you won’t be able to select your options. We are working with BackerKit to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. We hope to have it fixed by early next week, and we will post another update to let you know once it’s resolved.

The final production samples for the mousepads have arrived, and they are super adorable in person! The elegantly stitched edges add so much value to these collectible pieces. We can’t wait for you to see them!

2024 Cat Sudoku Enamel Pins

The 2024 Cat Sudoku enamel pins are also here. Meet the playful Toffee, Urian, and Wish. These pins are charming additions to any collection, and we’re excited for you to receive them.

San Diego Comic-Con Highlights

We attended San Diego Comic-Con last week and showcased the table-size playmat. It certainly caught a lot of attention at our demo table, and we received fantastic feedback from attendees.

Thank you for your continued support and patience. We’re working hard to ensure everything goes smoothly, and we’ll keep you updated on any further developments.

Best regards,

Dear Backers,

Hope you had a pleasant weekend! We have some exciting updates to share with you:

The new Cat Sudoku mousepads are actually done! We expect to receive the final production samples before the end of the week. Additionally, the three new enamel pins are also finished, and their final production samples should arrive around the same time. Here are the pictures of them—hope you like them! :)

Today, we finished setting up the pledge manager on BackerKit and submitted it for review. We should receive feedback in a few days. If all goes well, we’ll be able to send out the survey to you early next week. This will help us gather your preferences and delivery information to ensure you get exactly what you want and ship to the right place.

By the way, did you go to San Diego Comic-Con last week? We were there demoing three prototypes and four published games: AQUA, Boba Mahjong, Cat's Gambit, and FORK. One of the prototypes we showcased was our upcoming game, Cat Sudoku: Summer Festival. It was extremely well-received and fun to play—we managed to demo it over 100 times during the four-day event. To find out more about the game, click the link below.
