Picky Eaters: Ultimate Collection Launch Info!
3 months ago – Tue, Apr 16, 2024 at 06:29:49 AM

Hey everyone,

We wanted to let you know some really exciting news...

Next Tuesday, April 23, at 10 am ET / 7 am PT we will be LAUNCHING the Picky Eaters: Ultimate Collection campaign on Kickstarter!

And lucky you: You're among the first to be able to watch our campaign trailer!

Have you reserved your Chicago Hot Dog mini expansion?!

It's an exclusive mini expansion we designed that honors the Chicago-style hot dog. Get yours today by reserving your copy at play.lefougames.com for $1! We'll send you your Chicago Hot Dog mini expansion after you back our campaign when we fulfill Kickstarter rewards.

On that note, here's a sneak peek into what the campaign will be offering! (Also, we've been offering glimpses and juicy details on our Instagram; if you haven't been following us there, what are you waiting for?)

  • 3 Brand New Picky Eaters Expansions: More Picky Eaters, Special Sauce, and Double Recipes. Each expansion spices up the game in new ways from adding new Guests, Ingredients, Recipes, and Items to introducing completely new rules that bring more strategy and way more fun. Use any expansion by itself or any combination of expansions together!
  • Collector's Box. The Collector's Box will hold the entire Picky Eaters Collection, including all components from the Picky Eaters base game, all 3 expansions, the 6 Neoprene Playmat Bundle, and Kickstarter exclusives unlocked in this campaign.
  • Lazy Susan. The Picky Eaters game experience is as streamlined as ever with the new Picky Eaters Lazy Susan. Players can simply turn the Lazy Susan to make the Guests and Market easily accessible for every turn. The Picky Eaters Lazy Susan comes in its own designated box.

Are you excited?! Because we are, and we can't wait to launch next week. So mark you calendars, put your alarm clocks on, and get grooving - Picky Eaters: Ultimate Collection is coming in just 7 days on April 23!

Thank you! See you next week! And don't forget to follow our Kickstarter pre-launch page!

Hi Picky Eaters!

Hope you're having a lovely early spring and enjoying the fresh spring veggies at the market.

Spring means all the green veggies - including spinach, a new ingredient coming soon!

Buckle up because we have updates and news to share!

Shipping

We have delivered nearly all games! The last few are in transit.

For those of you who have received your games, we hope you are enjoying Picky Eaters! For those of you who have not yet received your order, hang tight as some games are still in consolidation centers and will be arriving shortly. If you do not get them by the end of March, or if you have any issues with shipping, please email us at [email protected]. We are working diligently to address every concern and get every backer their order.

If you received your game, please mark on Kickstarter that you did. This will help us show Kickstarter that we fulfilled our rewards and can move forward into our next campaign. Here's how to do this:

  • On Kickstarter, click on your profile in the upper right hand corner.
  • A menu will drop. Under the column, "Backed Projects," click on "Picky Eaters." (If you have backed more than a few projects, click "View all.")
  • Under the new menu that opens, find "Picky Eaters," then click "Got It!"

Also, if you have played Picky Eaters, please head to our Board Game Geek page and rate the game! This will help get the word out about Picky Eaters. We value your honest feedback. 

Moving forward

As we near the closing of this campaign, we are proud to say that we were able to meet our goals. This doesn't mean that our campaign was perfect. This was our first campaign, and we learned a lot during this process.

To be honest with you, our valued backers, shipping was the weakest point in our campaign. We've listened to your feedback, and we're making some big changes for our next campaign to make sure shipping is a smoother process.

Here is how we are handling shipping for our next campaign:

  • New shipping partner. We're incredibly excited to be working with Quartermaster Logistics as our shipping partner for our next campaign! They have a reputation for having the very best customer service, and our communication with them has given us full confidence that they are the best shipping partner for us.
  • Full customer service team. Quartermaster Logistics has a dedicated customer service team, so all of your shipping questions will be handled directly by our shipping partner. 
  • No more estimated shipping prices. For our next campaign, we are going to make shipping simpler. We will have exact shipping prices posted on our campaign page. We will then subsidize any remaining shipping costs. Most importantly, you will know exactly what you will pay for shipping from day one of our campaign. 
  • Minimum padding of 1.5 inches and tracking numbers for all packages. We were disappointed to hear some of your games were not packaged with the proper amount of padding, and that some of you never receiving tracking numbers. First of all, we apologize and are frustrated about this. Second, Quartermaster will ship all packages with a minimum of 1.5 inches of padding. Additionally, they will send us sample packages for us to approve and ensure all orders are shipped safely. Also, all backers will receive tracking numbers.

We hope that these changes address all of the concerns that were voiced during this campaign. We are excited to apply these changes and show that we can run much better campaigns moving forward. 

What's next?

We want to thank you very much for giving us a chance on our first campaign and we hope to see you back for future campaigns.

Speaking of, we are busily finalizing plans for our next campaign, Picky Eaters: Ultimate Collection! This new campaign will feature not one, not two, but THREE expansions that will not only expand the Picky Eaters universe but introduce new gameplay, new strategy, and even more replayability, as well as a ton of surprises!

Clockwise from top left: Picky Eaters (the base game we all know and love); More Picky Eaters; Double Recipes; and Special Sauce.

Here's a sneak peek at some of the newest guests showing up. We can't wait to share more about each of these guests and their preferences!

We're so excited to introduce these - and other! - new guests to you!

If you're interested in Picky Eaters: Ultimate Collection, check out our pre-launch page at play.lefougames.com. For just $1, you'll not only get informed when we launch but as a thank you for supporting us, you will get an exclusive mini expansion reserved for early backers.

Hi Picky Eaters!

We're thrilled that so many of you have received (and enjoyed!) Picky Eaters! It is so fulfilling for us to see you plan to take Picky Eaters with you on vacation or to your game night, and we're happy to be a part of your adventures.

Last chance!

However, we cannot honor any more incoming Easyship surveys after Tuesday, March 12 at 12 pm EST. Please make sure to get your surveys in by then so we can get Picky Eaters to you!

If you have already completed your Easyship survey but haven't yet received your game, sit tight. Your games are in transit and should reach you shortly!

As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns at all by emailing us at [email protected]. We work hard to answer every email as soon and thoroughly as we can, and we want to make sure every backer is satisfied with their Picky Eaters experience.

We would love to see Picky Eaters in action! Feel free to tag us at @lefougames on Instagram, X, and TikTok, or @lefoullc on Facebook. You can also use the hashtag #pickyeatersgame.
