Briefest Write-Ups in history continue with no end in sight!  Too much retirement travel on hand! Pffffft… ✈️💤🥱

Hello all! It has been a hectic and fun early summer… with me galavanting off to Aruba and Scottsdale, Arizona, and Connecticut (to name a few recent destinations). In another week or so my good friend Chris (from Oka Luda Games in France) will be coming to visit for 3 weeks and we’ll be traveling about and going to Gen Con and hanging out at the beach and visiting NYC… you get the idea!  Oh, and I’m still on schedule to begin home construction toward the end of August… yeah.. just a few things happening.  😬😅

“Bundle” details…

This Upstart listing has shifted to accommodate the wooden game box inserts and the boxed neoprene play mat sets that I finally got sorted!  So there are now THREE bundles!! [this update took place on 10 DEC 2023]

[Now… admittedly… by the time most of you see this, it will probably be down to just two bundles because I found one copy of Earth with the KS goodies… and I figure that is going to disappear very quickly. Sorry friends! But, to whomever snagged that one copy – ENJOY!! 🎉]

Anyhoo… the bundles…

The first bundle includes a copy of the base game – Earth – along with the bag of Kickstarter Goodies (all the exclusive stretch goal related stuff).  This sachet of Kickstarter Goodies is not included with the standard retail version of the game… but I mean… like… this is Upstart and all… ☺️

The second bundle is just the box of 5 neoprene playmats for Earth.  These are the playmats manufactured by the Inside Up team… not the Etsy copies or whatever is floating around out there 😉  Side note – those Etsy mats may be lovely… no ill intent here… just wanted to be clear that they are the official mats. 🫡

The third bundle is the wooden insert for the Earth Game Box. This is also the one manufactured by Inside Up Games (I mean, they don’t actually make them themselves… hehe… but you know what I mean). As a quick related aside… if you’re ever looking for custom board game inserts, I HIGHLY recommend Tower Rex on Etsy.  I have a number of their inserts and they are wonderful! I am not affiliated with them in any way and I’m not getting a kick back for recommending them (in case that wasn’t obvious)… I just really like their stuff!! And I smile every time I remove the box cover on my painted Blood Rage set; which is stowed in their wooden box insert for same. Number sign WINNING! 😉

As always, please reach out with any questions!! I’m almost always available unless I’m driving, flying, or asleep! 😂😅🚗✈️💤

And OK… sometimes I might be available while flying… 😉
