Third Thursday Update [February] - U.S. Fulfillment & French Canadian shipments
about 1 year ago
– Thu, Feb 16, 2023 at 11:51:52 AM
Hello backers!
Matt is out sick this week, so the rest of the team is handling the Third Thursday updates. If they aren’t as pretty as they usually are, please accept our apologies! We hope they will be just as informative though.
We are getting closer to the conclusion of this campaign!
Shipping updates:
USA (And South America): Funagain was not able to ship out the pledges since our last update. We have a little more information regarding our U.S. warehouse and the delays that are facing the U.S. and South American backers. While the container has been with Funagain for a while now, the warehouse is currently at capacity so the delay is with the queue of products to be sent right now. Once Funagain can dedicate the team to clearing out space (through projects that are being sent out and getting rid of excess inventory), we will see progress here. We have been told that these should ship out by March 2nd, and hopefully, Funagain is able to keep to that timeline. We thank you in advance for your patience as we navigate through this frustrating shipping time.
Canada (French Editions): We were able to get our container moving pretty much right away after our last update, and it has already arrived in Canada! The container landed in Vancouver on 02/12/23. Items are currently on a train to Montreal and set to mail out from Ilo307 to you.
Australia & New Zealand: All games were mailed out as of 02/13/23. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.
Everywhere else: You should have received your pledges. If you have not, please reach out at the link below.

over 1 year ago
– Thu, Jan 19, 2023 at 10:28:29 AM
Hello Commanders,
While many of you have seen the news and expressed concerns on BGG and other social media, it is important to us to remain transparent with you all. Our main fulfillment partner in the U.S. has announced that they are closing their doors as of April 30th. Funagain’s team is dedicated to completing their current projects and we have faith that they will continue to provide us (and you!) with excellent service until their doors close. We wish all the staff the best of luck in their future endeavors.
English Editions:
U.S. - The Funagain team has assured us that shipping will begin in two to three weeks. They will let us know when that fulfillment begins, and we will do our best to let you all know via the comment section of this campaign.
Canada - English edition deliveries are complete, we are now waiting on our French editions which will be loaded up on the next container. We will have more information on when those will arrive in a future update. (If this was to happen before a Third Thursday, we'll post a comment updating everyone)
EU/UK- Fulfillment is complete for English Editions.

Important Rules Update
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Jan 18, 2023 at 11:01:34 AM
Hello Commanders,
We have some important things to discuss so let's get right to it.
RULES ERRATA #1
There is one very important rule that has been left out of the printed rules for the Kickstarter edition of Lost Empires: War for the New Sun. On page 9, under the section titled "Activate A Unit," the following important piece of text has been left out:
You may only take 1 activate unit action per turn.
You may still play as many support and play unit orders as you like, but may only ever play 1 activate a unit order. Here is a video clip explaining the important change.
RULES ERRATA #2
The other rule change can be found on page 15, it states that you gain two artifact tokens for controlling the outer objective however that is false, the rulebook should state the following:
Gain 1 Artifact Token for each Outer Objective you control.
There is a link to the latest digital rulebook below.
