Update for Thursday, October 22. Hello folks! We have a lot to cover with this update, so scooch up in your chair with your beverage of choice, and read along!
Some of you may have noticed that we added a bunch of inventory recently. This is the side benefit of our annual inventory review, in which we discover lots of games hiding in corners, just waiting to be found and put up for sale. This has already become a bit of a ritual in past Octobers, and recommend that if you are interested in finding a game that has been sold out on our website for a few months, be sure to click the link to be notified when a game goes back into stock. Sometimes it's just one or two copies, but sometimes it can be a dozen or more that fell off the radar somewhere along the way. On that note, we'll be adding a number of ding&dent copies of games in the near future. So if you are looking for the best deal on a game and don't mind a few dings, you'll definitely want to stay tuned.
Those of you who are long time customers may remember in the past few years that we had held Summer Sales, as well as a Spring Sale in 2025. This year, we decided to return to our previous practice of only holding a single sale this year - BLACK FRIDAY! This may well be our biggest sale yet, with more games and expansions and accessories that will be put on sale than ever before. Which means we have a lot of work to do to get ready! We'll have more to say as we get closer, but don't forget to mark your calendars (and for some of you, your clocks!) for our sale to begin and 12:01 am on Black Friday. As always, almost all of our stock is limited, so once it sells out, it's gone!
We've finished up pre-order fulfillment of Cascadia: Alpine Lakes, Horror On The Orient Express: The Board Game, and Dawn of Madness. We have also finished up fulfillment of CMON back catalog titles. If you placed a pre-order and have not received an address confirmation request, please reach out to us at customerservice@thegamesteward.com and we'll get you sorted out.
Although we have been extremely busy preparing for the holiday season, and have received a number of resupplies, we have not received any new titles arrived since our last update. So we - for the moment - caught up on fulfillment of pre-orders for new titles.
Resupply Update: We received the following resupplies since our last update: Hanami: Deluxe Edition, Too Many Bones, Cloudspire, Hoplomachus, Wroth, Flamecraft: Duals, and Leviathan Wilds.
STANDING DISCLAIMER RE: PRE-ORDER FULFILLMENT: We will not ship a pre-order more than 30 days old unless and until we receive an address confirmation request. Crowdfunded games are often limited edition collector's items, and we cannot risk the loss that occurs if a package is shipped to an address that is no longer valid for the customer. If you placed a pre-order with us, PLEASE check your e-mail for an address confirmation request, and reply at your earliest convenience. This will ensure that your pre-order is delivered in a timely manner. Note that all address confirmation requests go to the e-mail address on record for the order placed. It is the customer's responsibility to monitor the correct inbox to ensure timely responses to address confirmation requests.
