Expand Your World of Harvest (New Kickstarter Live Now)

Howdy Neighbors,
We hope you’ve enjoyed your sunrises and sunsets in Furroughfield so far. We noticed the leaves started changing to all those beautiful colors and you know what that means!!! We’ve got big news and small fixes for the future of this little storybook farming town.
The leaves are changing, the days are getting shorter, and the smell of blue-ribbon pies is in the air. It can mean only one thing: The annual Fall Festival has come to town in the first-ever expansion to Harvest!
It’s live on Kickstarter now! Head over to the page for all the details, including the new promo character cards and FREE mini-expansion! Just like in the first campaign, if you back in the first 48 hours, you will get a $5 discount on shipping! We've also brought the Golden Edition back in the campaign if you have friends clamoring for your copy ;)
Fix-It-Kit
Thanks for your patience while we worked on a solve for those misprints in your games. Kickstarter is a great place to get the Harvest Fix-It-Kit, which has replacement tiles for minor misprints. It corrects the Build Icon and End Game Icon consistent across all versions, with an updated Library Building, Smithy Building, Barry the Bison Promo, Sunrise Tile 10, and Build Farmhouse Tile. It’s automatically included when you back the Fall Festival expansion, and there’s instructions on how to get it otherwise.
Thank You As Always
It’s because of each of you that this new expansion for Harvest became a reality and we hope you know how grateful we are for your support. Thank you for believing in our games, and we hope you love this expansion as much as we do.
May your plow till true!

Animeeples on Sale Next Week 🦊
Thanks for the follow-up questions in the comments about Animeeple packs for sale! We're sorry for the extra time it's taking to get them available for purchase. We'll be working to make them available on our website (US only) next week and will post a quick update when they are live for you to purchase.
Every morning when we spring out of bed, we check the Harvest page on BGG, and it blows our minds to see how many of you are posting your pictures, sharing your experiences, and giving Harvest such nice ratings and reviews. It means so much to us to see it, so keep it coming! Please rate Harvest on BGG to help other find and learn what you're loving about getting it to the table.
Harvest Season Doesn’t Have to End Yet
Summer is ending, fulfillment is wrapping up, and autumn is almost here. As we started getting our sweaters out of storage and looking up our favorite pumpkin pie recipes, we couldn’t help but wonder what the residents of Furroughfield had planned for the fall season. Is something sweet coming to town in the months ahead? Who knows? (us) (and you, sort of, now). Keep your eyes peeled to see what crops up!
Maybe you’ve already heard about our new game Parks Roll & Hike. It’s a whole new take on our classic game Parks, with some fun ideas we’ve been wanting to try for a while now. It’s got quirky new art, crunchy new mechanics, and funky new gameplay (it’s a roll-and-write, which you probably guessed from the name).
Anyway, it doesn’t really come out for a couple weeks, but we’ve got some prerelease copies for sale (just $25!) at keymaster.fun, just for you!
May your plow till true! (And if you're in the US, have a wonderful Harvest-filled Labor Day Weekend!

5 months ago

Howdy Neighbors,
Harvest fulfillment is super close complete. It's been so heartwarming to see y'all's excitement to have the game in person now. Your love of our furry farming neighbors and our little town of Furroughfield is everything we hoped for! Below, we've got a progress update for each region of fulfillment, some picture references on how to pack the tray in the Golden Edition, and fun Harvest related things we have going on at Gen Con.

How to Pack the Golden Edition
There have been some questions coming about the best way to pack the trays of Harvest Golden Edition. Here's a top down view of how to pack all the components into the base tray and the barn resource trays.
The barn on the left packs all the wood crops, metal coins, and blueberry bushes. The barn on the right holds the punchboard versions of the components, along with the wheelbarrows, fertilizer, water, and buckets. You can pull out whichever you prefer to play with or split the wood components, moving some to the barn on the right and having two resource trays at your table.
All the animeeples have a home in the bottom tray. Any animeeple will fit in any slot. The four outer slots are a little more narrow than the other compartments, so Jaimie, River, Floyd, and Remi fit especially well in those spots.
The long Farmer's Market tiles cover the smaller Farmer's Market Tiles and the Round Tractor.
Character cards nest directly on top of the Farmer's Market tiles.
Player Farm Boards cover the Character cards, die, and all the punchboard components. The game board lays flat right on top of this, then the Barn resource trays, and once the lid is closed, this created a solid seal to keep everything in place.
Animeeples Pack Upgrade
For those receiving Animeeple Packs with your order, you'll notice there are 4 Animeeples instead of 3 + 1 button per color. This upgrade was made while we finalized production for a couple of reasons. First, as we received samples of the character colors, we realized that they are both beautiful and very hard to tell apart. Without the Character printing on the wood, there was a lot mix up about which button belonged to whom across the many possible character combinations. So we updated the button to another Animeeple token at our expense. When you're playing, you'll have two options for your score tracker now - either the 4th animeeple matching your character, or the button that matches your farmboard.
Thank you to everyone who has been writing in and sharing photos and videos of Harvest 🌾at your table. We LOVE seeing it get played and enjoyed by you. Please also share the love with a rating on BoardGameGeek.
Our next stop on the convention line is Gen Con in Indianapolis, Aug 1-4. We've got a couple of fun Harvest 🌾 themed events at the show. River the Fox will make an appearance in our booth for fun photo ops. PLUS, designer Trey Chambers will be at the show signing games and saying hi! Check out the schedule below for those signing and photo times.
As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]. We'll be back here in August to wrap up this project and share what's next! Until then...
May your plow till true!

Furroughfield Bulletin Board: Harvest Shipping to Backers + the Library Moon Icon
6 months ago
– Fri, Jun 21, 2024 at 10:51:49 AM
Howdy Neighbors,
Thanks so much for your excitement to receive Harvest 🌾 Orders are starting to leave warehouses! We know this last leg of the journey sometimes feels like the slowest part. Thanks for your patience as we work to get games to you as quickly and safely as we can. Below, we've provided updates on each region's progress, and the most accurate estimates on when shipping notifications will go out. We'll also post a comment on the main comments page to confirm with you when a region tells us they started fulfilling orders, so you know when to keep an eye out for a shipping notification email.
US & Canada & RotW - Fulfillment Expected to late-June/early July
Shipbob received all the Harvest Kickstarter product for this region. They built test orders and we decided to get different boxes to help provide a safer shipment for orders. These boxes will arrive at Shipbob in the next couple of days and determine the final invoice for fulfillment. Once we have that squared away, shipping will start in this region. We expect to start shipping out test orders next week to make sure everything is arriving in good condition. As long as everything goes smoothly with the test shipping, fulfillment will begin the following week. You'll receive a shipping notification from Shipbob once your order is shipped.
For backers in this region, as you receive shipping notifications and your orders, if you have any questions or concerns, please email us directly at [email protected].
UK & EU - Product Arrived in Port
The boat with all the Harvest Kickstarter product for this region arrived in port in the UK this week. Spiral Galaxy expects to check in all this inventory next week. Once all the product is checked in and VAT paperwork and invoicing is complete, they will begin shipping out orders. We expect this to start in the next 2-3 weeks as long as there are no delays on the VAT side.
Spiral will send product for all orders delivering to the EU to Amsterdam for final delivery, so we expect these orders to be a few weeks behind UK orders in their fulfillment timeline. You will receive a shipping notification from Spiral once your order has shipped for final delivery.
For backers in this region, if you have any questions or concerns about your order, please reach out to [email protected].
Asia & Oceania - Fulfillment has Started
VFI received Harvest product for this region and has started fulfillment to its smaller regional partners. They will continue shipping over the next two weeks. While packing up orders, they found a shortage of Chicken! copies to fulfill all order in this region. We fast tracked copies of Chicken! to cover this shortage. We've also asked VFI to continue shipping out orders that do not include Chicken! to keep order moving out the door. Chicken! will be in their warehouse shortly, and the remaining orders will quickly follow.
Be sure to check this link for the best delivery estimates for your specific region. Regions will populate under Harvest as product is shipped to the smaller hubs for final delivery. This list also provides the best contact for any order questions based on the region you are in.
For backers in China and Hong Kong, if you have any questions or concerns about your order, please reach out to - [email protected]
Australia & New Zealand - Expected to Fulfill beginning of July
Aetherworks received all the Harvest Kickstarter product for this region. They've built test orders, invoiced us for fulfillment, and we are in the queue for shipping. They have quoted us a 3 week queue to begin fulfillment and will do their best to speed this up as they are able.
We know Aetherworks sent out notice through their Facebook page that fulfillment has started. We've asked them to post an additional update there once shipping begins for this region so you get an update on when to start expecting shipping notification emails.
For backers in this region, as you receive shipping notifications and your orders, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Aetherworks directly using this contact form - https://aetherworks.freshdesk.com/support/home.
The Moon's Out Tonight 🌙
When you receive your copy of Harvest, you’ll notice the Library building tile has a dark blue moon icon on the bottom left. This icon indicates that this is an end-of-game building, and should be treated the same as the similar-looking dark blue snowflake icon on other end-of-game buildings (for instance, the Gatehouse enables you to score points for your end-of-game (snowflake) icons. The Library should be included in this scoring tally). For purposes of play, the dark blue moon icon is exactly the same as a dark blue snowflake icon.
It’ll be corrected in future printings. Once you play with the Library as is, if you still find you’d like to receive an updated Library tile once the correction has been made, keep an eye out here. We’ll provide information in a future update with options.
Share Your Harvest 🌾
We cannot wait to see y'all with your copies of Harvest in hand! As you start to receive them, and play the game, please be sure to share and tag @keymastergames so we can join in on your excitement.
We'll check back in July with fulfillment progress, and will post brief updates in the main comments page as regional fulfillment gets underway. As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].
