The Decks Have Landed! (All 1 Ton+ of Them!)

Decks Have Arrived!
Hello Friends! We’re thrilled to let you know that the shipment has officially arrived—over one ton of packages delivered safely to our doorstep! We've spent the past several weeks carefully unpacking, verifying, and performing quality checks to make sure everything is in order.
We’re happy to report that everything arrived safely and the quality looks absolutely fantastic. Holding the final product in hand has been incredibly exciting, and we can't wait for you to experience them for yourselves. We know the wait has been longer than any of us anticipated, but we’re genuinely hopeful you’ll agree it was worth it once your rewards are in your hands.
That said, we did run into a small hiccup: two of the 78 packages arrived having been opened during shipping. FedEx (or someone) kindly repacked the contents into new boxes, but the Gold Edition decks inside were shuffled around randomly, which meant we had to go through and re-sequence them to verify everything was there. Fortunately, we’re happy to say that not a single deck was missing or damaged—a huge relief!
All in all, 2 slightly bumpy boxes out of 78 feels like a win, and we’re very grateful things went as smoothly as they did for such a large shipment.
We’re now taking the next week or so to get everything fully organized, sorted, and prepped for fulfillment. Rest assured, fulfillment will most definitely begin sometime in May.
We’ll be sharing more updates soon as we move into the next phase—getting everything ready for fulfillment! Thank you again for your continued support and patience. We’re so close now!
In the meantime, here are a few photos of some of the decks and the uncut sheets. Bias aside, we have to say the Uncut Deck Sheets look absolutely stunning! They’re going to make fantastic wall art for your game room or creative space—we can’t wait for you to see them in person.
For those of you that celebrate it, Happy Easter! And for Kim and I we are also celebrating our 8th Wedding Anniversary.
Cheers, Michael & Kim
Products Are On Their Way To Us!

Products Are On Their Way To Us!
Hello Friends,
Great news! We just received confirmation that the shipment has arrived at the distribution center in Fontana, CA. That means we’re expecting it to reach our HQ sometime this coming week. We're still waiting on updated tracking details, but things are moving along smoothly!
In the meantime, here are a couple of fun facts:
We’ll be receiving a total of 78 packages (wow!)
The combined weight of all those packages is over 2,200 lbs (yowza!)
What Happens Next?
Once we take delivery of the packages, we’ll take some time to:
Make sure everything arrived in good condition
Double-check counts (make sure we received everything we ordered)
Spot check quality (we’ll randomly inspect some decks for print quality)
As you might imagine, this process will take a bit of time. But it’s important to us that everything is right before we begin sending things out. Assuming everything looks good, and the shipment arrives when expected, we’re aiming to start fulfillment around mid to late April.
Update Shipping Information
If you need to update your shipping information, please send us a message through Kickstarter with your updated address, and we’ll take care of updating it in BackerKit for you. We’ll also send out another reminder via Kickstarter a few weeked before we begin fulfillment to give everyone a final chance to confirm or update their shipping details.
Soltera Card Games
Now that we’ve had all four decks in hand for bit, we’ve been able to playtest the custom card games we've been developing in-house—this time with real cards instead of digital simulations! A handful of the games are fully developed, and we're currently finalizing the rules for several others. Once fulfillment begins, we plan to share a plain-text beta version of the games so you can test them out and help us refine them through broader playtesting. When we're confident the rules are polished and stable, we’ll release a full-color, illustrated rulebook available for free as a downloadable PDF on our website: www.mysticdragongames.com. The beta rules will be distributed through BackerKit once they’re ready.
In the meantime, enjoy these early screenshots of the card game rulebook in development—please ignore the placeholder text, it's just filler for now!

We hope you’re as excited as we are to receive your decks soon—it’s getting so close! We also hope you enjoyed this sneak peek at the card game book we’ve been working on behind the scenes. Thank you, as always, for your continued support and patience. We truly couldn’t do this without you!

Hello Friends!
We wanted to share a quick update on the status of things!
Unfortunately, our printers weren’t able to meet the original February 20th shipping date due to a minor printing issue with a few of the cards. Specifically, two cards from the Gold Edition decks had some gold foil powder on the front (see below). The good news is that they’ve now resolved everything, and the products are officially ready to ship! Once we receive the final invoice, all the goodies will be on their way to our HQ.
The shipment will be arriving via cargo ship, which means it will take approximately 30 days to reach us. As soon as everything is in hand, we’ll conduct a thorough quality check before moving into the fulfillment phase.
At this stage, shipping addresses have been locked in Backerkit. If you need to update any information, please send us a direct message here on Kickstarter, and we’ll take care of it for you. We’ll also send out an official "verify shipping" notification once we’re closer to fulfillment.
As always, thank you for your support and patience. This project wouldn’t be possible without you, and we truly appreciate your enthusiasm along the way!
More updates to come soon!
Cheers, Michael & Kim

Hello Friends!
Just a quick update to keep you in the loop—our printer has confirmed that they’re still on track to ship the remaining goods (Decks, Deck Boxes, Uncut Sheets, Stickers, additional coins, etc.) on February 20th. Once everything is on the way, we’ll have a clearer timeline for arrival and fulfillment.
On a less exciting note, the new tariffs on imports from China are hitting us pretty hard financially. We did everything we could to get production finished and shipped before the changes took effect, but in the end, we prioritized quality over speed. We truly appreciate your patience and support through this process.
On the personal side, Kim and I are finally recovering from a rough bout of the flu—definitely not the kind of challenge we had planned for, but we’re on the mend!
Thanks again for sticking with us—it really means the world. We’ll keep you posted as we get more updates!
