February Update!

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

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!
