Latest Updates from Our Project:

March Fulfillment - Wrapping Up EU, UK, ANZ
7 days ago – Mon, Mar 16, 2026 at 08:25:34 AM

Hello Chefs,

All Games Shipped

I just received confirmation that all EU, UK, and AUS games have shipped from our EU fulfillment partner, Zatu games. 

Please use the tracking in your inbox to follow along with the shipment of your game. 

If you have questions upon the arrival of your games, please email me at [email protected]

New How To Play Video

Over the last weeks, I've been spinning up a new How To Play video with the final component tweaks and updates. I hope this accelerates your enjoyment of the game even further! 

Next Steps

There will inevitably be a few stragglers on BK Pledge Manager and challenges with shipping. As we complete fulfillment, I'm turning to those individual challenges to get them cleaned up this week. 

I'll also be going through the KS and BK platforms to update all fulfillment status fields this week. 

Let's get cooking,

Gregory

March Update
14 days ago – Mon, Mar 09, 2026 at 06:11:30 AM

Hello Chefs,

Shorty but a goodie! Zatu confirmed games were delivered to the warehouse, we're in the home stretch now. 

It will take a few days for Zatu to run final inventory and prep for shipment but I'm hoping they'll begin printing shipping labels and boxing up games this week. 

I'll send another update here as soon as we have confirmation that we're out the door to backers.

Let's get cooking!

February Update!
about 1 month ago – Fri, Feb 13, 2026 at 07:02:12 AM

Hello Chefs,

Big month - lots to update on! 

Europe Update

I just got word that there has been additional delays at port due to poor weather that are pushing the updated port date. We are now looking at 21st of February. This is unfortunate but I am truly grateful to you all for your patience as you await your games. 

If any of you are good swimmers and just want to go retrieve the shipping container for us - I'm sure you'd make many happy chefs. 😉

Rules Typos

There are some game manual typos and errors that made it through the QC process. Embarrassment aside, the game pieces are numbered correctly and the error is in the manual. The summary of these typos is listed on www.foodtruckracegame.com/play. These will be updated in the second edition. 

Replacement Parts

I am hearing from a few folks that their games were packed messily and that there are some damaged pieces (a card here, a player board there) in less than 1% of games distributed so far. 

The most obvious challenge is the punch board that wasn't secured well and many of the upgrade tiles came pre-punched. I know this robs gamers of some joy so please accept my apologies - we're working to improve that process for the second print run. 

To inquire about replacement parts, email me at  [email protected]

Thanks to EMEA for their patience and I am excited to get your games to you soon! 

Let's get cooking,

Gregory

Feb Update: part 1
about 2 months ago – Mon, Feb 02, 2026 at 08:09:14 PM

Hello Chefs,

Big news & updated timelines:

North & Central America, ANZ fulfillment, East Asia

I'm enormously proud to announce that the first games are being fulfilled in North America this week. These zones, including ANZ and East Asia are in the process of shipping now. Murmurs are that some games are arrived in mailboxes  and stoops around California today and folks are liking the way Food Truck Race looks! 

Europe & Southwest Asia

As of this morning, the boat to Europe is about a week away and will be unloaded and repacked for fulfillment around Feb 15. I hope it's sooner but I think that it's a safe estimate. 

Photos & Socials

For those of you who are opening your copies of Food Truck Race, please consider tagging @foodtruckrace on Instagram or emailing to [email protected]. If you give us permission to post your photos on the main Instagram and Facebook accounts, please indicate as much in your email. We'd love to share! 

I'll update here again in the coming weeks as European fulfillment comes into focus. 

Let's get cooking, y'all!

Gregory
