USA SHIPPING UPDATE

Hello, friends and backers in America!
We have been busy playtesting the new SHASN content a whole bunch, and production processes are well underway! Things are moving smoothly and we are in fact, ahead of schedule at the moment!
Now - from the get go, we have tried to keep the cost of getting the game to you as low as possible. While our shipping was initially going to be $25 or under, an unexpected bump has changed that.
A new tariff on all games imported into the US (in the range of $3-5) has come into effect, forcing us to revise prices and incorporate this into the shipping cost.
This was an unpleasant surprise that we couldn't really account for earlier. This is also the reason that shipping is charged later, after the campaign, to prevent creators from being hit with unexpected fees that can stop the game from being delivered.
It is also worth noting that the $20 shipping estimate mentioned previously was for one copy of SHASN only. Once more Campaign Decks etc. are added to the box, the weight goes up, as does the shipping price.
We apologise for this less than ideal tariff, and continue to aim for the lowest possible rates for all our backers.
Thank you for your support - we are committed to delivering a high quality, well produced game that you can be proud to own. See you in the next update!
SHASN IN THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Friends and politicians, if we can have your attention please.
We have something superbly exciting to share with you. SHASN has found its way to the top echelons of Indian politics. Last week, we had the unbelievable opportunity and honor of playing our game with the former President, Shri (Mr.) Pranab Mukherjee.
Mr. Mukherjee served as the 13th President of India from 2012 until 2017. And last week, he reprised his role briefly on the SHASN board.
This is the kind of real-world reach and impact we had previously only dreamed of. Thank you all for being on the journey that has brought us here. See you in the next update!

Hi there backers!
It’s been a few days since our last update. After some much needed rest, we are back to work. Right off the bat, we have some important news to share! We had five contest winners yet to be announced, and here they are!
ELITE #4 - THE PATRON
Blessed are we, to have had the most incredible community. So many of you are risen above and beyond the call of duty, but nobody has done more for SHASN than one truly remarkable individual, and leader.
Justin Goodman is the face of The Patron!
Justin has been a rock, a bastion of our game right from the get go. A one-person army, you only need to visit our Campaign’s comments section once to see just how much he’s done for the community. Justin made not one, but two campaign speeches (and worked through personal discomfort), mobilised the people repeatedly to unlock many stretch goals, and had clear answers ready for most queries.
Thank you, Justin!!

ELITE #9 - THE LOBBYIST
In this contest, you all had an opportunity to reclaim and rewrite some of the most significant quotes in political history. There was one instant classic:

ELITE #10 - THE WHISTLEBLOWER
This contest required significant political acumen, as contestants identified what real world politicians corresponded to various ideological builds in SHASN. One individual was consistently thorough and on point with their insights:
Taylor Ampatiellos is the face of the Whistleblower!

Several bizarre and hilarious headlines later, we settled on one that was uncomfortably funny and feasible:

ELITE #10 - THE PHILANTHROPIST
After combing through many bold, exciting visions of the world, we had a clear favorite:
