Latest Updates from Our Project:

Lands of Galzyr has been launched!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Aug 03, 2021 at 05:40:22 AM

I hope everyone has had great time playing Dale of Merchants 3. We've been busy working on our next game, Lands of Galzyr, for over two years now, and it's finally time to launch its crowdfunding campaign!

Delve into an open and persistent world

Lands of Galzyr takes place in the same charming world of animalfolks as my previous games. You'll even have a chance to encounter some familiar faces from Dale of Merchants!

In the game, you are an adventurer seeking fame and excitement in Galzyr – a region known for the historic strife between three city-states and their former motherland and the thrill-seeking nature of its colourful inhabitants.

Click here to back the game on Gamefound!

Lands of Galzyr features:

  •  Story-driven adventure: Face quests, challenges, and peculiar animalfolks on your journey to become a legend!​
  •  Open game world: Experience the joys and thrills Galzyr has to offer by going wherever you wish and doing whatever you want.
  •  Save mechanism: Your actions have far-reaching consequences, as each game picks up where the previous one left off.
  • And more!

If you have enjoyed my games so far, Lands of Galzyr will offer you a chance to really dive into the world of animalfolks! Hope to see you again in my latest project.

Sincerely,

Sami Laakso

Infographic and brave adventurers
almost 3 years ago – Sun, Jun 13, 2021 at 02:00:38 AM

I have a tradition of ending my Kickstarter projects with a campaign look back and sharing a few interesting facts about the project. I also have news to share about one of our older games and the next one up on the horizon!

Infographic

Thank you to everyone who filled in the backer questionnaire from one of the previous updates. Here’s some tidbits I found interesting – hopefully you’ll do too!

Embark on a brand new adventure!

Our next release will be Lands of Galzyr, a story-driven adventure game where you explore a lively, open, and adventure-filled world. Like our other games, Lands of Galzyr is also set in the exciting world of Daimyria.

Lands of Galzyr will launch on Gamefound on August 3rd. Click the image below or here to check out and follow the project!

Check out the Gamefound project page and follow along!

And lastly, the moment you’ve been waiting for – all bars at full 100%!

Sincerely,

Sami Laakso

PS. We managed to restock a small number of one of our older games, Dawn of Peacemakers, to our European warehouse. This is your chance to order one of the last copies of this rare gem about stopping a war between the macaws and the ocelots. Secure your copy now!

Shipping and status update
about 3 years ago – Fri, Feb 19, 2021 at 01:45:36 AM

This update concerns mostly about the delay of a handful of orders to the US with playmats.

Next time, I will include a nice infographic about the backer questionnaire from the previous project update as promised.

US + Canada shipping update

Because of a shipping mistake, the US warehouse received too few playmats of certain designs. Replacements were shipped from Europe last December but it will still take up to 2 months for the playmats to arrive in the US. This is the combined result of the global pandemic and new import processings at the US border.

If you’re one of the backers waiting for this replacement shipment, there are two ways to get your games faster. We can swap the missing mats to playmat designs in stock or send the games now and mats later separately. With the latter option, I would have to ask you to pay for the additional shipping. If you want either of these, please send me an email [email protected] specifying which option you’d prefer.

If you’re fine waiting, you don’t have to do anything. Quartermaster Logistics will send out your order as soon as the mats arrive.

Join the community

I’ve introduced our friendly Discord server on a previous update but I’ll mention it one more time. If you have any questions about specific card interactions or anything else regarding our games, this is the best place to get answers within minutes! People also like to simply chat about their newest board game experiences among other things there.

If you’ve gotten a chance to play Dale of Merchants 3, I would also greatly appreciate an honest rating on BoardGameGeek.

Lands of Galzyr and backer questionnaire
over 3 years ago – Sat, Jan 23, 2021 at 11:34:51 PM

Nearly all games have been delivered to the backers outside of a few orders to US, CA, and Oceania. More on that below, under shipping and fulfilment.

In other news, we’ve been extremely busy creating the next game set in the same world of animalfolks, Daimyria. I’ve also made a small questionnaire about this campaign.

Lands of Galzyr

Those of you who have been following our studio closely, might know about our next game, Lands of Galzyr. It is an adventure board game where players are cunning and ambitious adventurers exploring the lands and taking on challenging quests. The players’ actions have long-lasting consequences in the evolving and persistent game world. Their decisions affect not only the current game, but the following games as well.

You can watch a gameplay demo and introduction about Lands of Galzyr below and stay up to date with its progress by subscribing to our newsletter and joining our Discord server. Lands of Galzyr is coming to Kickstarter later this year!

Backer questionnaire

I’d highly appreciate it if you could answer this small questionnaire about Dale of Merchants 3 and the campaign. Answering shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes and gives us valuable feedback for future projects. I’ll share the results with you in an infographic in the next update to provide a nice closure for the campaign.

A huge thank you to everyone for being a part of this project, and I hope you enjoy playing Dale of Merchants 3!
