Hi Rival Networks backer,

Here's another shipping update!

  • American backers: You should have received your game by now! Please email info (at) formalferretgames (dot) com if you haven't received it. Note that I'll be on the road for the next couple of days, so you may not get a reply until Sunday or Monday.
  • Canadian backers: If you have not yet gotten your game, it should arrive any day now! Give it another week, and then email me at info (at) formalferretgames (dot) com in case it doesn't arrive.
  • UK/EU backers: You will be getting your games soon; it's finally our turn to ship out! Give it 10 days or so to arrive.
  • Everyone else: You should be getting your game soon, if you haven't already! 

For those of you who got the game, please give it an honest rating on BGG! Every rating helps. 

Finally, for those of you with the equipment, here's an awesome 3D-printable insert from my friend Ken Grazier! Look how awesome this thing is. 

Shipping update!
almost 3 years ago – Mon, Apr 26, 2021 at 06:25:37 PM

Hi Rival Networks backer! Here's a quick shipping update:

US backers: You should have received your game by now! If you haven't, give it one more week, and then email me at info at formalferretgames dot com. (You can send me a Kickstarter message too, but email will likely get you a faster response!)

If you ordered Replacement Network Cards, those should come by early next week.

Asia/Australia/Canada/New Zealand: You should be getting your game this week or next, depending on when the fulfillment company begins to ship. Replacement Network Cards should be in the same package; please let me know if they're not.

UK/EU: Our fulfillment company is still working through their queue, but it should be our turn in about 1-2 weeks.

If you're antsy to play the game and you haven't received it yet, I just put a version of it up on Tabletop Simulator! It has a fully-scripted setup and includes options to play with Executives and Documentaries & Game Shows. (Also, don't forget that the game is also available on Tabletopia with an option to play with Executives, if you prefer.)

Where are the Replacement Network Cards?

Hi Rival Networks backer!

Some of you have reached out to me asking where your Replacement Network Cards are. It turns out I didn't have a setting properly set in BackerKit, and they never went out!

I'm working with BackerKit now to get a list of you all generated; they should be sent out this week.

Thanks for your patience, and thank you to everyone who has shared photos of your receiving the game! It means a lot to me to see all those photos. I hope you enjoy playing it!

Fulfillment update and minor typo in rulebook
almost 3 years ago – Fri, Apr 16, 2021 at 11:28:37 AM

Hi Rival Networks backer! Here's a fulfillment update...

US backers: Your games are going out now! You should get them in 1-2 weeks.

Canada/Asia/Australia/New Zealand backers: Your games will go out next week. You should get them in 2-3 weeks.

UK/EU backers: Your games are at the fulfillment center, but they are working through a queue of fulfillments right now. It should be our turn to get shipped in 2-3 weeks, and you'll get the game a week after that.

Also, we've found a small typo in the rulebook. The example on page 11 refers to the "9 pm" timeslot; it should refer to the "10 pm" timeslot. That shouldn't mess anyone up too much, but I wanted to make sure you knew about it.

Looking forward to getting you your games!

Here it comes - fulfillment about to begin!

A short and sweet update:

Finally, the games have arrived at all 3 fulfillment centers!

Fulfillment for everywhere but the UK and EU will begin within 1-2 weeks. The UK/EU warehouse is a bit backed up with other fulfilments; they should be able to start fulfillment around the beginning of May.

I can't wait for you all to get your games!
