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.

Missed Pledges and Replacements

2026-03-06 02:30:30

Hello Dino Lovers,

Bryan here! I just returned from GAMA - a B2B (business to business) board game convention in Kentucky. It's where all us nerds who want to make toys for a living meet to see how we can get more of our games to the masses. Met some good friends and made new ones!

This may be why my replies were a little slow. Anyway, the fulfillment HUB returned last week from the CNY and it took them a little longer to get back in the swing of things. The second wave has gone out, but those who are waiting for their pledge or replacement will receive them at intermittent times since this batch involved many countries/regions. I'm sure there will be a few stranglers but well get it all figured out.

We had to pay a little more for backers to receive their tracking numbers (weird concept if I'm being honest) but they should be hitting your inboxes. Give it some time before reaching out with questions.

A little update on Tangerine Games, I (Bryan) recommend never talking on a panel at a business convention on the same day a new campaign launches. My stress levels were through the ROOF! 

Kaelora launched Tuesday and funded in 12 hours which is dope. Now we are just trying to get off to a great start and avoid the mid-campaign lull that happens oh so very often.

We didn't even run ads after the first week so THANK YOU for making this possible! Our goal is to be able to go either straight to retail or do Pre-orders from our website and bypass Kickstarter. We want you to have your games ASAP. This is why conventions like GAMA are so important so we can do this full time. Keeping games into distribution is vital but difficult. Cash flow is always a huge need.




Anyway, we'd love if you could share the Kaelora project with any friends or on social media. To be honest, while there is a Deluxe option, Kaelora and a bundled tile-laying game called Kindred are better suited for a straight to retail release rather than KS with all the extras and such. Sometimes adding extra stuff just bloats a project and it turns into something you may not really want. But this is the nature of Kickstarter.

Kaelora is off to a good start but we'd love for you to be a part of that project as well! Not a ton of KS exclusives but sometimes less is more... right? For any of you that pledge Kaelora we'll knock 50% off shipping as a thank you for helping and backing Sauros! How's that sound?

Well, back to the grind!
