RETAILERS

We love retailers and would love to see Sauros on hobby store shelves around the world. If you run a store, please select the "Retailer" tier to pledge a $100 deposit toward a Sauros case. When the Hive Pledge Manager opens about a month or so after the conclusion of the campaign, you'll be able to verify your brick and mortar store, pay your balance, and provide your shipping address. 

If you have any questions, please send a direct message in KS or email retailers@tangerine.games.

LOCALIZATION

We are always looking for ways to bring our games to other markets and languages. If you are an international publisher and have interest in localizing Sauros, please send an email to bryan@tangerine.games. Sauros is fairly language independent with just the rulebook, score cards, and box needing translation. We are already in discussions with a few possible European partners. Would love to team up with even more!

Thank you for your support!

*Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia

**Not Customs Friendly

***We do not ship to Russia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Brazil, or Turkey

VAT: 

In order to maintain compliance with EU & UK law, VAT fees will be charged after the project, within the Hive Pledge Manager. The amount collected will be based on the total value of the pledge and shipping cost according to the VAT rates of each country.

US Tariffs: 

Currently, tariffs on goods imported into the US from China are 30%. While there is a 90-day pause on the original tariff of 145%, there is no guarantee what the tariff rate will be by the time fulfillment begins. Regardless, Tangerine Games reserves the right to pass the tariff onto the backer in the Pledge Manager if necessary. (30% tariff = an additional ~$2.)

Shipping: 

Fees for each reward listed in the table above are estimates based on current rates and shipping a single game. Additional items may add to this cost. Shipping will be collected within the Pledge Manager after the conclusion of the campaign. Backers will provide their shipping address at this time as well.

Note: 

If your country is not listed above, we are unable to ship to the location or will need to provide fees closer to delivery. Please inquire via Kickstarter message for further information and to discuss options. You may also email bryan@tangerine.games.

Sauros is Stampeding Ahead!

Hello friends!

So, a month has past and we've been hard at work preparing Sauros. Sorry for not posting anything sooner but there wasn't much to say as it takes about 2-3 weeks to receive funds and start paying the bills for manufacturing and such.

The great news is the rulebook has been submitted, so thanks to all of you who armed yourselves with a red pen and suggested edits. This was very helpful as many sets of eyes are always better.

Molds have been completed, which is awesome because this is the part of the process that takes the most time. We will be receiving the samples very soon, followed by the rulebook. We requested samples of the components be sent upon their completion rather than waiting for everything all at once. This allows us to make edits or approve the sample while adjustments are being made elsewhere.

Things are going smoothly and we'll send some pictures/videos as we receive things.

The Pledge Manager will open closer to mass production as this allows us to provide the most accurate shipping rates. For our first two projects (Nestlings and PEAKS), we collected shipping much too early. By the time games were printed, assembled, packed, shipped and fulfilled, prices increased. We can't absorb the difference again. We've seen many indie publishers subsidize "last-mile" shipping and it's sinking them. We can't put ourselves in that boat again.

Please note: because the PM will open later, it will be open for a shorter period of time as well. It is super important that you respond in a timely manner to ensure you receive your pledge during the first wave. This will also allow us to send the appropriate number of extra copies to the correct HUB. It's a whole thing:)

One cool thing, we have secured our first localization partner and are talking to a few others. If you know of a language partner that would be interested in localizing Sauros, let us know! The game is very language independent so there isn't a lot of translation that needs to occur.

Alrighty! We'll I (Bryan) am in the process of relocating so I better get back to the joy of packing. Later Days!
