Tiny Epic Vikings Fulfillment Status - All Rewards In Transit

As of today, March 28th, all rewards for Tiny Epic Vikings are in transit. Transit times will vary based on your location. Some countries, including but not limited to Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland and the UK are experiencing longer than average transit and customs clearance times.

REDEEM MISSING REWARDS

We are dedicated to making sure that every backer receives their rewards.

***YOUR 1ST STEP TO REDEEMING MISSING REWARDS***

Your first step in redeeming your reward is to confirm that you have completed your BackerKit order. To do this, please log into BackerKit:

If you forgot your password, click "forgotten password" and enter your email. Then, follow the steps in the email you receive to reset your password and proceed with logging in.

Then, check if you completed your pledge and confirmed your order.

-Yes, your order had been previously completed and confirmed. Proceed to the heading below that most closely matches your scenario and carefully read the instructions provided for assistance.

-No, your order has not been completed and confirmed. If you did not complete your pledge please email our team at [email protected], using the template below, and we will organize the shipment with you.

Include the following subject line: "Tiny Epic Vikings Missing Reward".

  • Full Name:
  • Company:
  • Street Address:
  • Apartment or Unit:
  • City:
  • State/Province:
  • Postal/Zip Code:
  • Country:

***"I've received my game(s) but not my add-ons."***

Rest assured that your add-ons will be arriving soon. In some instances, the add-on bundle was split off from the game order and has been shipped separately. All of these orders have been shipped.

 ***"I've not received my game(s)."*** 

Transit times vary by each country. Again, some countries, including but not limited to Netherlands, Switzerland, Ireland and the UK are experiencing longer than average transit and customs clearance times.

Please check the deadline for your country and if that date has passed and you've still not received your game, please email [email protected] to have us check the status of your shipment and resolve any possible issues.

  •  United States - please wait until April 14th. 
  •  EU/UK - please wait until April 30th. 
  •  Australia/China/Southeast Asia - please wait until April 30th. 
  • Canada - please wait until April 14th.
  •  Rest of World (you are not located in one of the above countries) - please wait until April 30th. 

***"My game(s) were shipped to the wrong address!"***

First, check with your local postal service and ensure that you have mail forwarding setup.

If you have mail forwarding setup then there should not be an issue and you should expect to receive your game. No action is needed.

If mail forwarding is not an option and you cannot recover the package from your previous address, then please email us at [email protected] and include in the subject line: "Tiny Epic Vikings Wrong Address".

"I got my game, but some pieces are damage and/or missing!! Do you offer replacements?"

You bet we do!! We are dedicated to offering top notch customer service and it extends beyond the Kickstarter project. So, if you find that pieces are missing and/or damaged, this includes the game box, rules, bits, etc. we will replace them. We WANT to replace them! We want you to enjoy your game and all the efforts we put into it. If you receive your package and any pieces are missing or damaged, please visit  https://www.gamelyngames.com/contact/#replacement and fill out the request form. That will come directly to us and we will get you taken care of as soon as possible. Please afford us some additional patience as we work through our email queue. We estimate replacements will take up to 2 weeks to be dispatched.

 "I've received the game and I'm loving it! Great Job!! How can I share these feelings with the world!?" 

If you have a burning desire to share your positive experience and you relate the above sentence, then AWESOME!! Because that is why we make games! To give people such a wonderful gaming experience that they can't wait to involve their friends and family!

The Last Kingdom Board Game - LIVE on Kickstarter! 

Click HERE to visit the Kickstarter page!

The Last Kingdom Board Game is game of war and politics for 2-5 players by renowned designer John D Clair that's based on the Netflix series The Last Kingdom.

In this world, the kingdoms of Britain are at war. Many have already fallen to the invading Danes, leaving the great kingdom of Wessex standing alone and defiant under the command of King Alfred. You are one of the great commanders and politicians in this war-torn land known today as England. Both Saxon and Dane armies openly battle for dominance, and it is up to you to title the scales of power. To claim these lands, you will need to tread a dangerous path between both sides of the conflict. Will you betray your allies for power? What part will you play in the birth of a new nation, and will you ultimately rule it all?

The Last Kingdom Board Game is chalk-full of strategy and highly energized table moments. This game can be enjoyed by all gamers, whether you're a fan of the Netflix series or not.

Tiny Epic Vikings Play-Along Tutorial and Soundtrack are now LIVE on Dized!

As promised during the campaign, there is a Dized Play-Along Tutorial available upon the release of Tiny Epic Vikings! We’ve teamed up with Dized for several Tiny Epic Titles already, and have received stellar feedback from our community. We are happy to announce that the free Interactive Tutorial for Tiny Epic Vikings is now available!

Click to visit the tutorial!

The tutorial is available for all player amounts from solo to 4 players. You should have also received an email from Dized last week for a code for the tutorial. Redeeming the code grants a permanent ad-free access to the TEV Dized Tutorial!

Along with the Tutorial, there’s also a Dized Extra available: a thematic Soundtrack and custom made Score Counter just for Tiny Epic Vikings. Besides making the end of the game score count a breeze, the soundtrack will bring an extra layer of immersion to your gaming table! You can access the Extra if you’re a Dized+ Subscriber, or by purchasing the content in the Dized App.

What is Dized?

Dized is a digital companion for tabletop games that hosts a multitude of different digital contents. A play-along tutorial on Dized teaches you the game while you play. This is especially great for those of you who prefer getting into the playing part sooner and learn the game while you play.

And once you know the game, Dized Rules has the full game rules with a built-in FAQ available, if you need to check some rules later on.

Dized Extras are add-ons to games that can vary from soundtracks, to digital mechanics - such as the Extra for Tiny Epic Vikings or Hero’s Companion that was released earlier for Tiny Epic Dungeons.

How Do I Access the Dized Content?

You can access the Dized content for Tiny Epic Vikings either with a smart device or a computer.

Smart device users will need the Dized app. It's available for iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).

  1. Install the Dized app (it's free!) OR make sure to update to the latest version if you already have it.
     
  2. Find Tiny Epic Vikings on the menu or through the search
     
  3. Tap TUTORIAL to launch!
     

With a Computer you just need to:

  1. Open up your browser (Dized recommends Google Chrome)
     
  2. Navigate to https://app.dized.com/game/tiny-epic-vikings
     
  3. Click TUTORIAL to launch!
     

Here's how the tutorial interface looks like, it's pretty intuitive to use!

How Do I Access the Dized Rules?

You can find the Dized Rules for Tiny Epic Vikings here. You can use the search if you’re looking for a specific topic, and the FAQ can be accessed from the left side menu.

Encountered a Problem?

This content is fresh out of the oven and though it has been playtested, it can be improved. We'd love to hear how the tutorial worked for you, and if you have suggestions on how to tweak it. Let us know in the comments of this update!

If you have an issue with the platform itself, for example if you're not able to access the tutorial at all, please contact Dized's Support at https://dized.com/support.

The Glory Awaits!

So sharpen up your swords and axes, and prepare to fight for the glory of your clan! Don't let the rival Vikings get the better of you!

Update Correction - Packages are starting to get shipped to backers!
about 1 year ago – Wed, Feb 01, 2023 at 08:31:55 AM

Hello friends!

Disregard the email content of the update you just received. That was intended to be sent out for Tiny Epic Crimes. I have removed that content from THIS update and instead I'd like to let you all know that Tiny Epic Vikings packages are starting to be sent out to backers.

Some of you have already starting receiving notifications of your shipping label. These notifications are generated when the label is created and NOT when the package leaves the facility. That is why there is a delay for when tracking information begins.

While we're excited to begin fulfillment on this project earlier than our original estimated delivery date, we still ask for patience while we get through the process. It will take a few weeks to prepare and ship all rewards. 

I will follow up with another update once fulfillment has concluded. I will provide important instructions in that update for how to reach out to us if for some reason you have not received your reward or been notified that your reward is on its way.

Thank you all very much and I look forward to you all enjoying Tiny Epic Vikings!

Sincerely,

Michael

Our original estimated date for this checkpoint was January, so we are a little ahead of schedule. Which is fantastic! However, I'm still going to keep March 2023 as our estimated fulfillment date as there could still be delays in receiving and package preparation.
