Production Progress!

It has been 3 weeks since the last update, and since then the path to production has been going great!
While I had initially planned to first complete the Conundrum Expansion artwork to release as an additional Print and Play, I instead decided to first finalise the box artwork, since the actual production of the boxes will very likely take longer than the printing of the decks.
Hence, I am currently finishing up the final artwork for the box.
During this process, I set up polls every now and then to determine which artwork additions are better suited for the final product.
If you want to be apart of these polls, simply join the discord server and you will be notified whenever I set one up.
The reason I use discord for this purpose is because Kickstarter doesn't necessarily have a built in feature for polls, and I don't want to end up having an email sent to each of you everytime I make a poll.
When it comes to the other components for production, the bulk order for the dice, futuristic tokens and the detective pawns have arrived! These components were expected to take the longest to ship, so thanks to their early arrival we are currently ahead of schedule.
Once the box art is completed, I will be swiftly finishing up and releasing the Conundrum Expansion Print and Play.
That's about it for this update and as always, thank you :).
The Print and Play is Out!

The Print and Plays have been sent out as promised.
If you have backed any of the below - check your Kickstarter messages to get access to the Print And Play.
- Covert Cues: Full Print and Play
- Covert Cues - Deluxe Edition
- Covert Cues: Deluxe Party Pack
- ULTIMATE SUPPORTER
- and finally the Print and Play add on.
In a week or 2, I will be releasing the Print and Play for the Conundrum Expansion to everyone who backed the above as well!
The current Print and Play pdf contains the base game along with the Inquisition Expansion (which consists of the Debugger and the Accomplice roles).
All you need to add yourself is a singular 6-sided die to play the game using the pdf.
With that said, here is the updated rulebook:
Also, just an update on production, I have already placed the bulk order in for the dice, futuristic tokens and the detective pawn. I am almost done with putting in the final orders for the cards and the game box.
Thanks as always for the support!
Current Road Map

Currently, I am already following a plan to go to fruition with fulfilling everyone's orders (along with mass production) and I thought I should share these plans with all of you in order to make sure everyone is on the same page.
The dates I will be referencing are approximate estimates and may be subject to slight change.
- 22 Feb - 14 Mar: Finalising the artwork and sending out the Print and Play pdfs.
- 14 Mar - 21 Mar: Putting in the orders for the production of each of the separate components.
-
21 Mar - May (1 - 2 months approx.) : Actual production of all of these components and their transferal to one location for assembly.
- May - June : Assembly of each copy of the game.
- June - July : Shipping the games to everyone.
The companies I am using to produce the different components for the game are mostly in Australia (with only one being in America), so we hopefully should not face the shipping delays other Kickstarters have.
That's pretty much it really - everything should go well without delays as long as the companies responsible for the certain components (such as the futuristic tokens or the dice) stick to the planned schedule and supply me in time.
Thank you all for your support as always!

Thank you all so much honestly, we couldn't have reached the goal without all of your help!
I am so excited to finally make this game a reality!
There is currently less than 3 days left, and we are already only AU$ 383 away from the first stretch goal, which will allow everyone (even backers of the base game) to have the Debugger and the Accomplice role in the box for free!
Thank you to everyone who has backed this project, I can't wait for you all to receive a copy of Covert Cues!
