Hey Trolls,
It has been a couple of months since I've written. I thought it was time to get you some information.
In the Hall of the Mountain King on BGG
This amazing game is still sitting at an 8, and has made its way all the way to 944 and still climbing. We are so proud! If you haven't rated the game yet, please do here!
Replacement Parts
Gameland has confirmed that 90% of the replacement trays have gone out with only a few more left to send. They are fulfilling these replacements, so sending an email to ask if yours has gone out won't be helpful to you. They have communicated that they are are very close to sending the last ones out.
If you requested a card or a board and you have not received it yet, that is because I am awaiting another package from Gameland with those components in them. I received notification at the end of last week that it was sent out to me. Once I get these components, I'll send them out to you as soon as I can.
Finally, if you are from Brazil and are awaiting a replacement, you will likely be waiting a while longer. I have all of your replacements packaged up and sitting on my desk. Unfortunately Brazil is not accepting packages from Canada at the moment (due to Covid-19). As soon as I am able I will send them out to you.
In the year 2087, central governments have fallen. What remains are fragmented citystates struggling to hang on to law and order. In the world of In Too Deep, you play an agent trying to make the city safe. Sometimes, to clean up the streets, you have to get your hands dirty.
Cybernetic implants have given the criminal underworld a technological advantage, but you have found a way to exploit that power. By infiltrating their cerebral upgrades, you can gain control of these criminals. Going deep undercover into the minds of your targets, you’ll need to participate in crimes of escalating seriousness to get your hands on the critical evidence you need.
Commit crimes, but try to stay true to yourself. The wrong side of the law can be seductive. It will take everything you’ve got to avoid going In Too Deep.
We'd love to have this amazing group of people move on to our next campaign with us!
As always, if you have any questions or want to talk to us about anything, please don't hesitate to contact us through a DM in Kickstarter. We're here for you!

Don't Forget ...
Trolls, during this very difficult time all over the world, we know that many of us are having a hard time. If you or your family has been affected by Covid-19 directly, our thoughts are with you. While China is back to work (thankfully it seems as if they are past the worst of this), the rest of the world is social distancing. Many businesses are affected by this. But one of the businesses feeling it the worst are the Hobby game retailers. We continue to sell games from our web store. But in order to support brick and mortar retailers we have developed a Retailer Aid program to assist your FLGS during this time of uncertainty.
We recognize the importance of brick and mortar retail stores to our hobby. They are the lifeblood of the industry and the places many of us became board game fans. From now until future notice, we will be donating 20% of the proceeds earned from games sold on our web shop to your FLGS. Simply include the name and address of your store in the notes sections at checkout. As long as they are Burnt Island Games retailers, they will receive 20% of the sale. This is how we keep the industry strong. Stay safe and happy gaming. https://www.burntislandgames.com/shop
As always, if you have any questions or want to talk to us about anything, please don't hesitate to contact us through a DM in Kickstarter. We're here for you!
You are all amazing, and we are so lucky that you chose to be with us In the Hall of the Mountain King!
Until next time Trolls ...

Are We Having Fun Yet?

Hey Trolls!
It's been some time since I last wrote to you. Some great stuff is happening in the ItHotMK world.
Fulfillment Stragglers
Trolls, if you don't have your game by now, you really should. Besides the few people from Mexico, Japan, Brazil, and South Korea that I am talking to at the moment, no one should be left without a game. If you, for some reason, do not have your game yet, please DM me and we'll try to figure out what is going on.
It truly is amazing to us that in this short time we are on our way to breaking the top 1000 games on BGG. And the fact that the game has an 8 average rating is even more amazing. But we want to make sure to break that threshold. And only you can help us. If you have not rated the game yet, you can do that here.

ItHotMK Community Update
about 4 years ago
– Wed, Mar 04, 2020 at 02:02:57 AM
Hey Trolls!
It's been some time since we last updated you. So we thought today would be a good day! You'll see why in just a few paragraphs.
Outstanding Fulfilment
Trolls, almost everyone in the world has received their games at this point. Unfortunately, people from Mexico, Brazil, and the Middle East (in some areas) are still waiting for their games. We always know there will be issues when we decide to open our Kickstarter campaigns to people in these regions; their shipping charges are the highest, and it takes the longest to get there. The easiest solution would be to not include people from specific countries in our campaigns. But that just doesn't feel right to us. So, we open it up to everyone, while being clear about the increased cost and wait time. To those of you still waiting, we appreciate your patience so much. Trust me when I say, it's worth the wait!
Good News
When we printed your deluxe games, we also made a print run for retail. We are very pleased with the success it has found thus far. In fact, we're nearly sold out of the first run, which arrived at retail on February 19th. So essentially in 10 days, we've moved all of our retail games. Proud doesn't even begin to describe how we're feeling about this. Thank you to all of our backers who have posted a review on BGG. This is what helps raise awareness and accelerate sales. If you have yet to do so, please rate the game here.
And the moment you've all been waiting for, the reason today is a good day for an update ...
While we're over here refining In Too Deep (our next Burnt Island Game), In the Hall of the Mountain King co-designer Jay Cormier has brought another game to Kickstarter. This time he is both a co-designer (partnering with Sen-Foong Lim), as well as a publisher.
MIND MGMT: The Psychic Espionage "Game" is a 2-5 player, hidden movement game of clever deduction and teamwork. This game also introduces the new SHIFT System. All of us at Burnt Island have played it several times. It is a really solid game that we are very comfortable endorsing (and we don't take our endorsements lightly). So, if you like innovative games, and deduction is your jam, check it out here.
As always, if you have any questions or want to talk to us about anything, please don't hesitate to contact us through a DM in Kickstarter. We're here for you!

Contest Retraction

Hey Trolls,
As it turns out, our contest is in violation of the BGG rules. Who knew!? We are retracting the ratings contest immediately. You will not win anything for commenting or rating In the Hall of the Mountain King on BGG. However, we would still really love it if you would rate and comment on the game.
This doesn't mean we aren't going to have a contest for you to win our next game, In Too Deep. It just means that we're going to have to find another way to do it.
So stay tuned and we'll make sure to let you know how to enter.
As always, if you have any questions or want to talk to us about anything, please don't hesitate to contact us through a DM in Kickstarter. We're here for you!
