Hey everyone,
We wanted to let everyone know that we have officially begun final manufacturing! We couldn't be more happy to be at this stage of the process, and are so excited to have the games finished and sent to each and every one of you! Check out the Metal Coin below! It looks so good!
We also wanted to let everyone know that we will be charging cards for add-ons next Wednesday, April 21st. If your card is declined our system will try again roughly 1 weeks after, and then continue for a few weeks after that. If you need to check and/or change the card you want to be charged, go to backerkit.com and log in to your account to verify which card is linked to your account. That card is the one we will be charging.
Thank you all for your continued support! We are getting much closer to the end and are so excited! We'll continue to keep you all updated as we continue through this process :)
Goat Kisses,
Wes, Zac, and Trent

– Sat, Apr 10, 2021 at 11:58:39 AM
Hey everyone, we are so excited to finally have received the 1st sample for Racekart Riot! This is always one of our favorite parts of the process, and we took a little video to share in the experience with you! Take note though that there are some small issues that we have notified our manufacturer of, but overall things are looking good! Let us know what you think :D
We are just working through updating the last few changes, and then final production will be started! We can't wait to get the game in to your hands! If you want to learn how the game is played, check your email for the PnP files which contains the rules! Just a few more months everyone! :D
Sincerely,
The Gatwick Games Team
Base game PnP files have arrived!

Hello everyone! How time flies....we can't believe it has already been a month since our last update! We have been hard at work and continuing to playtest out all of the bugs so that Racekart Riot looks and feels as fresh as ever when it arrives in your hands!
All backers that backed any pledge level that included Racekart Riot or the Racekart Riot PnP pledge level should be receiving an email today with information and a link to download your PnP files! Those that backed the Miniature's STL files will also receive an email for those as well. As for the expansion, we are making some final touches to the rulebook and should have that sent out to the expansion backers by next week.
We want to ask as many of you as possible to read over the rulebook and let us know what you think. We have made a lot of updates to the rulebook over these last few months to make it as clear as possible while also covering all situations, but any feedback you have would be great since we still have a short amount of time before manufacturing begins. If you have any feedback or questions about the rules feel free to email our rules guy Zac at [email protected], or send us a message through Kickstarter!
And lastly we want to give you an update on the rest of the process leading up to final fulfillment. We should be receiving our first sample next week and we can't wait to see the quality of all of the components and box! After receiving the sample, we'll either check it off if everything looks good or have our manufacturer update any issues. After that, production should start, so we estimate that should happen sometime towards the end of April. Production will probably take about a month, and things should start shipping in May to our warehouses to be fulfilled. As many of you probably already know, shipping is crazy and there have been a lot of delays, but we are working hard to have the freight shipments arrive in June so that we can start shipping by then!
Once we receive the sample we will post another update so you guys can get your first look at the physical product with us! Anyways, thanks for staying strong during this time. We hope all of you are doing well and that you are continuing to be safe and healthy! Our racers are ready and raring to go! Only a few more months until the Ruby Cup opens up!
Sincerely,
Your Gatwick Games Team
Progress Update and Order Locks!!!

Hey everyone!
We are giving you all 1 more day to fill out your surveys!!!
We will be locking all orders tomorrow (Feb 16th) afternoon. Even after your survey is locked you are still able to go in and change the address up until the orders are fulfilled, and we will send more updates out as we go to keep everyone in the loop as to when changes can/can't happen.
We also are in the process of getting the initial samples sent to us. All files are sent in and our manufacturer is working on getting it in to our hands! Once we receive it we will post a video of the components! We're starting to get to some of the exciting milestones for Racekart Riot and can't wait to show it off to you guys, and more importantly to get it in to your hands!
As always, we wish you all the best. Until the next update...
With much love,
The Gatwick Games Team
Pledge Manager Lock Date and more info!

Hey Racekart Riot Fans!
It's been amazing to see how many of you have filled out your pledge surveys. In one month we have a completion rate of 86%!
This is great, but it still means that we have 14% of backers who haven't given us their information to be able to complete their game fulfillment. We originally had the lock date as February 1st, but we are extending it to February 15th as we complete the last pre-production steps, and to give the rest of these backers the chance to fill out their survey. If you haven't filled it out yet, check your email and junk/spam, and if you still can't find it reach out to us and we can look in to why not.
We are getting excited to share with you the final product. As we finish the last pre-production steps, we will next be getting a sample which we will take a video of to share with you all! We will also be sending out the PDF of the rules and would love as many of you as possible to read over and send back any feedback before it goes in to final production, so check up for an update with those rules.
And that's it for now everyone! Now it's time to get back to work so that we can get this game in your hands as soon as possible :D
With Much Love,
The Gatwick Games Team
