If you have previously subscribed to the Gamefound promo page, please note that there was a change of plans. We will be launching on Kickstarter. Subscribe in the link above. Use that link to still get a free gift when the campaign launches.
We pushed the expansion launch date to allow more time for all backers to receive the base game from this campaign.
At this stage, more than 99% of backers have received their copy of the game. However there's still ~20 backers waiting on some or all of their rewards in Canada (11), Mexico (5), Chile (4), and Brazil (1). Read also "Missing parcels".
We have been in touch with some of you via direct communication (email, discord, comments, etc) to avoid spamming thousands of backers while we were sorting out pending orders with our fulfillment partners. We apologize if the lack of project updates have caused frustration.
Canada 🇨🇦 11 backers
Thank you so much for your patience while we sorted out the inventory transfer on out of stock items with Gamerati.
The pick up of goods has been scheduled for tomorrow, June 18th from the US to Canada (Pick and Pack). We expect around a week for PnP to receive the rewards and process shippings so we are expecting for your rewards to show up at your door during early July at the latest.
Mexico 🇲🇽 5 backers
[ES] Las recompensas parciales que hacían falta llegaron y ya se han entregado (por envío, local pickup en incluso en MegaXP). Enviamos un par de correos para notificarlo y es posible que haya llegado a SPAM para algunos dado que hay 5 patrocinadores de CDMX que no han recogido sus bolsas de tela o sombrero de capitán. Dichas recompensas ya no se encuentran en The Pub y las hemos resguardado. Estaremos en comunicación próximamente para notificar la fecha y lugar donde será posible recogerlas.
Chile 🇨🇱 4 backers
[ES] Gabriel ha estado en comunicación con ustedes y hemos encontrado la alternativa para hacer llegar las recompensas faltantes desde Alemania hacia Enroque Juegos. Agradecemos el apoyo de Circoctel y Enroque en la coordinación para la entrega de recompensas que sucedió anteriormente. Seguiremos en comunicación directa para informar cuando hayan llegado las recompensas y sea posible recogerlas. ¡Muchas gracias por su paciencia!
Brazil 🇧🇷 1 backer
We have been notified about the return of a package. We will be in direct communication with the backer to arrange reshipment after sorting out the chargeback for return goods and shipping.
🌍 We have received confirmation from our fulfillment partners in the USA, Europe, Australia, Asia, and RoW that everyone in the backer lists with their rewards delivered.
It is possible that a few isolated cases of backers worldwide haven't received their packages due to a variety of reasons such as not completing the Backerkit survey (or doing so late), unrecorded address changes, or courier errors. If this is you, please inform us here, on our Discord, or via email at [email protected] with the subject "PPP backer support" so we can check tracking information and advise on the next steps.
Any unanswered Backerkit surveys will be considered a donation to the project after we close the pledge management system in July 31st . You can retrieve your survey here: https://party-panda-pirates.backerkit.com/ and these will ship in a further shipping wave.
If your game had missing or damaged components (other than the box or plastic insert), we've got your back! Fill out this quick survey so we can review the issue and send a replacement if needed. These will go out soon in a single batch.

Ahoy there, Panda Crewmates! Big news today regarding fulfillment status and upcoming expansion !
Many of you have received your rewards already and we are thrilled to see all the shared love for Party Panda Pirates! If you haven't gotten yours yet, hang tight—the crew is working hard to complete the pending 10% of deliveries.
🎉 🐼 🏴☠️ Completed Deliveries: Nearly all 100% of the orders in Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa have been shipped. Time to hoist the sails and play! Only 3 orders in AU/NZ and a few from Brazil are being processed during March.
🇺🇸 United States
Most orders are already fulfilled. There are 200 backers who have not received their rewards. It took us some time to gather the info together with Gamerati and find where the issue came from but finally it has been sorted out. Those 200 orders are in queue to ship in mid March after Gamerati completes fulfillment of another publisher's project which entered the queue.
Thanks so much for your patience! Within the next 24 hours, Gabriel will send an email to the 200 affected backers. If you have not received your rewards, expect this email confirmation; if you don't get it, it is likely that there's a different issue with your survey and we would appreciate if you could let us know next week so we can take a look.
🇨🇦 Canada
Deliveries started these week and some backers already confirmed reception of their rewards! Get ready to set sail with your crew!
🇲🇽 Mexico y Chile 🇨🇱
[ES] Finalmente las copias en inglés y los artículos faltantes en el primer embarque están en camino hacia México y Chile. Estamos dando seguimiento para poder completar las ~50 entregas faltantes durante este mes. Enviaremos confirmación por correo electrónico una vez que las recompensas estén listas para recolección (Local Pickup) o envío. ¡Gracias por su paciencia!
We are looking to wrap up fulfillment in March, but we will still be around to assist our backers.
Here’s an early sneak peek at what’s next for Party Panda Pirates!
This is the festival lineup, but instead of bands, it’s packed with new gameplay adventures:
Stay tuned, because this party is starting in April once we wrap fulfillment! 🏴☠️🔥
To celebrate our debut at Gamefound, we are offering a free promo character card, miniature, and a very special minigame Party card that will be thematically related to the joy of crowdfunding games!

As always, we appreciate your overflowing support and patience. We are delighted to be wrapping fulfillment very soon.
Let us know how you’re enjoying Party Panda Pirates—Please rate the game in BoardGameGeek!
Your Panda Crew 🐼🏴☠️
Ahoy there Panda Crewmates!
We are delighted to see some Party Panda Pirates arriving and reading that you enjoy the game and all the praise for its top production quality by Panda GM! 🐼
If you haven't received your game, don't worry, we are just getting started or about to start shipping in most regions. We will let you know when you should be concerned (and we will be here to assist you).
Today we finally share the Storing Guide with pictures for the standard and the deluxe version.
But first, a worldwide fulfillment status update + important information for USA and Canada.
The container is on the water with ETA Jan 13th to port.
A few days later, the container will arrive at Gamerati, labelling and shipping out as early as same day. Deliveries take anywhere from 1-5 days, once dispatched. So in 2-3 weeks US backers should start receiving their rewards.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ: Gamerati will pre-print labels this Monday, Jan 13th and US/CA backers will get a notice tied to a label pre-printing to have them ready, which does not mean the parcel is on its way. Any address change request after printing will incur into extra fees.
Please submit any address change by end of day Jan 12th to [email protected]
Nearly all deliveries that does not include the extra promo cards or items related to Dodos Riding Dinos: Dodo Dash, War for Chicken Island and Kiwi Chow Down have been shipped. The ones that do, will ship out soon, once the promo cards are received by the fulfillment hubs. They are in transit. The rest of the parcels should be sent in 1-2 weeks.
Stock has arrived to VR Distribution and fulfillment has begun! Some backers reported to have received their rewards already! Similar to Europe, the promo cards for Dodos Riding Dinos: Dodo Dash, War for Chicken Island, and Kiwi Chow Down are still in transit and the parcels including that item will be sent in 2-3 weeks.
[ES] Las mayoría de las recompensas se han entregado. Quedan pendientes unas pocas entregas que incluyen unos artículos que hacían falta por llegar y están en tránsito. Estimamos completar las entregas a mediados de Febrero a más tardar, posiblemente antes. En el caso de Chile, las entregas de Local Pickup, particularmente con copias de lujo no han iniciado y es parte de los artículos que faltaban por llegar.
[ES] Las recompensas han llegado a la bodega y PIF Games esta por iniciar a despachar envíos próximamente. Estimamos que en 1-2 semanas salgan.
Parcels have been dispatched. Some are still being consolidated to other hubs. The rewards that have been shipped to VFI's partners at the distribution hub are: Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, and Malaysia. These take a few extra weeks to arrive but ensures a smooth experience and arrival.
We've got you covered! Follow these visual step-by-step guides to store your games.
As a friendly reminder, the deluxe edition comes in a large box to fit everything included in this campaign (except for the plushie and the hat) plus extra room for future expansions and even sleeved cards.
The standard edition has an optimized box size for distribution, where expansions or sleeves are not supported. The turtle boat must be unassembled to be stored.
Thanks again so much for all your support!! We will post another update soon. Most likely still in January with fulfillment news.
Ahoy there, panda crewmates!
As mentioned before, updates would be more frequent during this stage.
Today is mostly to share news for Mexico (in Spanish) but you can scroll down to read a quick status recap (in English) per region. Full details in the previous update.
¡Nos llena de orgullo informar que hemos iniciado con las entregas en nuestro país!
Todo el equipo en Guadalajara ha hecho un trabajo extraordinario para enviar lo más pronto posible y a continuación encontrarás los detalles.
Los paquetes se encuentran listos y en proceso de entrega con la paquetería.
Debido a la temporada, nuestra sucursal local de paquetería ha impuesto límites en la cantidad de paquetes que podemos enviar diariamente por lo que algunos pedidos salieron el día de hoy, y el resto saldrán durante el transcurso de la próxima semana.
Ya hemos incluso escuchado de la primer copia recibida por parte de Manuel Garza, diseñador del minijuego ¡Pandas arriba!
Como mencionamos en la actualización anterior, las copias en inglés, peluche, bolsa de tela y sombrero no han llegado a México porque vienen en el embarque hacia Estados Unidos. Los enviaremos en una segunda oleada sin costo adicional.
La entrega ha iniciado únicamente para las copias en español, que son las que ya se encuentran en México.
Nos encantaría leer tu experiencia con el juego. Puedes compartir fotos y etiquetarnos en redes sociales o grupos de juegos de mesa en Facebook así como calificar el juego en BoardGameGeek
¿Expansión quizá?
Puedes compartirnos también en los comentarios que tipo de contenido te gustaría ver en el futuro. Nos encantará mantener este juego vivo con soporte y más minijuegos pero cualquier idea es bienvenida después de haber jugado.
