Fulfillment Update, Rulebook Support, & Upcoming Resources

Howdy partners,
As copies of Western Legends Stories arrive on doorsteps, we want to address early backer feedback regarding the rulebook and initial rules confusion head-on.
A Note on the Rules & Getting Started
First and foremost, we want to sincerely apologize for the confusion and frustration caused by the rulebook. Western Legends Stories was conceived as an unfolding narrative sandbox—an evolving frontier where rules, locations, and mechanics are meant to be discovered organically as your journey progresses. That said, sitting down to begin your adventure should feel welcoming and intuitive, not perplexing.
We are actively working to streamline onboarding and clarify gameplay so everyone can experience the story as intended. To support you at the table, we have several resources rolling out right away:
Iconography Guide: An iconography guide is in the works to clarify symbols and terminology across components. This will be posted on BoardGameGeek, likely tomorrow afternoon. Please note: this document will contain minor spoilers for items and locations discovered in future scenarios.
Updated Rulebooks & Player Aids: We are revising the rulebooks, player aids, and reference materials based directly on community feedback and questions from BGG. You can track and download the latest revisions on the Western Legends Stories BGG Files Section.
Official Rules Errata: We are building an errata document highlighting and correcting printing errors in the current edition.
Scenario 1 Walkthrough Video: We are producing a walkthrough video for the first scenario to guide you through setup and initial play. We are attempting to film this while traveling for Essen, but if the filming setup does not meet our production standards, we will shoot it immediately upon returning to our US office.
Fulfillment Status by Region
Fulfillment is in motion across all major hubs:
United States: Orders are steadily moving out the door, and most US pledges have now shipped.
European Union: Hub operations are underway, and EU fulfillment has officially begun.
United Kingdom: While we previously discussed routing games through a UK secondary hub, Publishing Technology Solutions (PTS) now holds its own UK VAT registration. Delivering directly from France avoids all import fees for backers while getting games into your hands considerably faster, so all UK orders are shipping directly from our French facility.
Canada: All orders with confirmed addresses have now shipped.
Australia: The container is on the water and en route to the local hub.
Asia & Rest of World: Our overseas fulfillment team has returned from their recent holiday. While packages have not started leaving the hub quite yet, games are currently in the shipping queue and should begin dispatching shortly.
Have Order or Component Issues?
If you run into any component or delivery issues once your package arrives, our support portal is open:
Thank you for your honesty, your patience, and your shared love for this frontier. We are committed to making your journey through Stories an unforgettable one.

Howdy partners!
We’ve got a quick shipping status update as games start hitting the trail and making their way to doorsteps around the globe. Here is the current progress across our regional hubs:
English Fulfillment Breakdown by Region
Canada: 100% Complete (122/122 sent) — Canada is officially wrapped up and all active backer rewards have been dispatched!
United States: 76% Complete (1,168 / 1,537 sent) — The US hub is moving fast, thanks to a large volume of pre-packed orders heading out the door in rapid succession.
Asia: 0% Complete (0 / 62 sent) — Shipments were placed on hold until after the holidays. These should be out next week.
Australia: 0% Complete — Container is on the water. No shipping has begun.
Europe (EU - English) — Games are at the warehouse, but shipping has not yet begun. Games are in the fulfillment queue and will begin going out soon.
A Quick Note on the French (FR) Edition
As noted in previous updates regarding translation and localization timelines, we are maintaining a dedicated track for French edition fulfillment. Keeping the French status separate ensures that English fulfillment progress remains clear and isn't confused by French edition production schedules. We’ll share dedicated updates for French backers as localized dispatches draw near!
We’ll keep you posted as the remaining hubs get underway and tracking numbers roll out. As always, if you have any questions or need assistance with your pledge, please submit a ticket through our support portal.
Thank you all for your patience and support as we bring Western Legends Stories to your tables!

Third Thursday Update: Goods At the Ports
about 2 months ago
– Thu, Sep 17, 2026 at 12:20:46 PM
Howdy partners!
Games are arriving at ports and we're preparing for shipping to houses.
Missing Rings
Reviews of the samples found that Deluxe editions of the game did not have the rings for the Winter Packs team mode. Those are wrapping up printing and will be added to boxes at the warehouse, and are being air mailed to the US, Canada, and Europe whose copies were already on the water or at their warehouses. This just means that the rings will be in a separate baggie outside of your box when it arrives at your door.
Address Confirmations & Regional
Shipping Address confirmation reminder emails for Canada and the United States were sent out earlier this week. Address confirmations for the EU went out yesterday and we already have 68% confirmed.
Some backers have reported technical issues with the PTS server when confirming their details. If you encountered one of these, please try your link again, as the PTS team has informed me that the cause was found and it was fixed. Tech support is resolving these server glitches as quickly as possible. Despite the issues we're at 66% confirmed across all areas with new confirmations coming in daily.
Please rest assured:
Your copy is safe: Every copy is being held at the fulfillment center and will not be lost due to system glitches.
Dispatch priority: Confirmed addresses ship out first but all orders will ship.
Fulfillment
Asia/Row
Asia/Row orders were delayed while waiting for the rings to print but shipments should be out the door late September. Labels have been created and we’re just waiting for confirmation that packages have been shipped.
Europe
The container arrived this week at port and is making its way to the facility for preparations. As mentioned above they’re wanting to wait for the rings to arrive to send out confirmation emails, but have the address confirmation software plugged directly into their system, so as you respond your label gets printed and will ship out.
UK
The container arrived in Europe this week and is on its way to the facility in France. They’ll prepare pallets for the UK warehouse and get those on a container to our partner Spiral Galaxy as soon as possible. Its usually a 2 week process between arrival in the EU and forwarding on to the UK. Games will ship from within the UK making the process much easier for backers.
US
The container arrived in the states and is en route to the warehouse in Missouri, Miniature Market. We sent an address reminder email this week and are uploading customer data next week. Fulfillment should begin in October.
Canada
The container is scheduled to arrive in Montreal September 30th. We’re waiting on a fulfillment timeline but our partner Ilo307 has been very good with quick turnarounds and we expect games to be out the door before the end of October.
Australia
The container was delayed to wait for the winter pack rings but a new one is being scheduled now and should be on the water before the end of the month. We’re waiting for updates from the freight team.
French Edition Progress
Our translation team is currently applying all of Hervé’s latest edits to the text files. We expect to submit the final print files for his review and approval between late September and early October.
PTS Backer Portal & Apple ID Notice
Order details have been uploaded to our fulfillment partner, Publishing Technology Solutions (PTS), using the email address linked to your pledge. You can now log into the PTS portal to view your order status and track container arrival estimates under the Follow Your Pledge section. Because this system is not fully automated yet, portal data may briefly lag behind real-time warehouse operations.
⚠️ Important Note for Apple ID Users: If you backed the campaign using an Apple ID with "Hide My Email" enabled, your order could not be automatically uploaded to the portal. We are actively working on a fix for affected accounts. In the meantime, please rely on these monthly updates to track your regional fulfillment progress.
Small Update about Address Verification Concerns
2 months ago
– Wed, Sep 09, 2026 at 12:11:02 PM
Howdy partners!
We’ve seen the comments and questions coming in regarding the recent address confirmation emails, and we wanted to pop in with a quick update to let you know we’re on it.
Here is what you need to know:
Address Verification Email Errors (PTS): If you received a confirmation email from [email protected] but got a page error when clicking "Confirm," don't fret! In many cases, the click is still recorded on the backend. However, if you want to double-check your status or haven't received an email yet, please check your spam folder or open a quick ticket with us at our Support Portal.
Deadlines & Address Changes: Your pledge is secure! Address confirmations simply ensure we have the most up-to-date details before the final shipping wave leaves the hub. If you miss the initial email, your game won't vanish. Games are held for everyone who's paid for their order. You can also use the Support Portal to manually verify address details.
EU Confirmation Emails: As a reminder, address verification emails for our EU backers are scheduled to go out next week at the latest!
Rulebook & Tabletop Simulator (TTS): We hear you! We know many of you are eager to dive deeper into the gameplay polish, rulebook updates, and the digital frontier. Work on the TTS module and rulebook layout is ongoing.
Thank you all for your patience and for keeping us posted in the comments as we get everything lined up for delivery!
Cheers,
The Kolossal Games Team
Third Thursday Update: Games on the Water
3 months ago
– Thu, Aug 20, 2026 at 12:58:46 PM
Howdy partners,
Here are the shipping updates broken down by region. We apologize for the confusion caused by the address verification emails not being sent out yet to all regions. Details on that are below
Address Verification Emails Notice
We apologize for any confusion regarding address verification emails. To ensure we capture any last-minute address changes, address verification emails are sent as close to fulfillment as possible rather than upon departure from China:
Asia/RoW: Sent July 22nd.
US: Sending August 25th.
EU, & UK: Sending at the beginning of September.
Canada: Sending September 8th.
Australia: Sending September 29th.
Unverified Addresses: Orders without a verified address will ship 30–60 days after verified orders finish for that region, sent to the last address on file. Please ensure your address is kept up to date.
Fulfillment Overview
Asia/RoW
Address verification emails were sent out July 22nd. Fulfillment has not yet begun due to other projects in their shipping queue taking longer than expected. The warehouse in Asia expects orders to begin within the next week. Given the number of shipments we expect fulfillment to be completed by mid September.
US
Games are on the water and expected to arrive in the US September 15th. The warehouse will need time to unload and prepare, so packages will likely not begin shipping out until the end of September and continue through most of October.
Tariffs: Our recent container was not charged for tariffs on this project. While the container hasn’t landed yet, we don’t expect tariffs will need to be collected for this project.
European Union and UK
Games are on the water and expected to arrive at the port September 16th. The warehouse will need time to unload and prepare, so EU packages will likely not begin shipping out until the end of September or early October, with UK packages following approximately 2 weeks later.
Canada
Games are on the water and expected to arrive at the port by the end of September. Once at port, they will travel by rail to the Ilo307 warehouse in Montreal. The warehouse will need time to unload and prepare, so packages will likely begin shipping out in mid-October.
Australia
Games are palletized and ready. We are waiting on a partner project to finish assembly so both projects can share a container. Assembly is expected to finish by the end of August, with the container on the water in early September and arriving at Port Adelaide in October.
PTS Backer Portal Tracking & Apple ID Notice
We have successfully uploaded order details to our fulfillment partner, Publishing Technology Solutions (PTS), using the email address tied to your backer account. You can now log into the PTS portal to view and track your order status.
The Follow Your Pledge section allows you to see estimated arrival times for your region’s container, and once at the warehouse, your tracking details.
This is a new feature and is not fully automated just yet, so some of the information above is ahead of what’s uploaded in the portal.
⚠️ Important Note for Apple ID Users: If you signed up for the campaign using an Apple ID with the "Hide My Email" feature enabled, your order could not be practically uploaded to the tracking portal due to the lack of a direct email address. Our team is actively working on a resolution for this group. In the meantime, please closely monitor these monthly Kickstarter updates to track progress for your specific fulfillment zone.
If you experience any order discrepancies or have account issues, please submit a formal support ticket directly with the fulfillment team:
Herve is wrapping up his review this week of all the translated text. His corrections will be applied to the cards and then sent back to him for final approval and print.
Language independent components such as minis, some punchboards, and other pieces have already been printed and are just waiting on the cards, player aids, and a few other components. We’ll keep you updated with the timeline as we get text applied and prepared the French components for print.
