Overstocked Now Live!

Hi there!
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in touch, after Nothing To Declare I’ve been on quite a journey, which I won’t bore you with.
The TL;DR version is that my friends and I have set up a publishing company called Play For Keeps and our first game is now on Kickstarter.
You can check it out here
In Overstocked, players must stay up to date with the latest 90s toy crazes, filling their warehouse with the most in-demand toys, and avoiding stocking the least popular. During the game, players increase the stock in their warehouse, or manipulate the value of every player’s stock. To succeed in the high stakes world of warehouse management, you’ll need to be cunning and spatially savvy.
I hope you check it out and enjoy it as much as we do.
Thanks Paul

Hello!
I hope you're doing well. I understand people are still receiving their games but I can confirm that all games have now been dispatched (unless you asked us to hold on to it for a little while).
Translations
We now have the rules translated into French, German and Spanish. A huge thank you to the people that volunteered to do this work. It literally wouldn't have happened without you.
Once the files are approved by BGG they'll be availabe here;

The rules are also available on my site over here.
Clarifications
A few people have asked for clarifications on a couple of the passenger abilities so I've put together a document that outlines all the passenger abilities and what they should do. You can find this on my site and BGG using the same links as above.
Feedback
Please don't forget to fill out the survey which is available here
If you still haven't received your game please allow a couple more weeks for delivery. If you have any issues then please get in touch.
Thank you
Finally just one more time I'd like to thank you for your support and allowing me to create this game. Truly without you it would not have been possible.
Time for some feedback

It's so exciting to know that people have been receiving their games!
I've been reading all of your comments and posts online, once again I cannot thank you enough for your support. Without you this wouldn't have been possible.
2 player variant
Has now been uploaded to boardgame geek and my website. Here's the links for both.
Corrections
files are now available on boardgame geek and my site. Links below;
Translations
Translations are still incoming, just some bits that need clarifying. I'm hoping to have them all uploaded this time next week.
Feedback
Given that this is my first project I wanted to get as much feedback as possible so that I can improve if I launch another project.
I've created this short survey to gather feedback from backers. I'd really appreciate if you'd take the time to fill this out (5-10 mins).

I look forward to hearing from you
A few little things

It's that exciting time when people are starting to get their hands on the game, finally.
It's been a long journey and I can't thank you enough for supporting me. I really hope you enjoy the game and have fun with it.
There's still a few things to finish off before we're finished.
Translations
- French is done
- Spanish and German are in progress
Corrections
Unfortunately there are a couple of errors that slipped through the net. A spelling mistake on some of the inspection cards and one of the passenger cards has the same name as another. I'm pretty annoyed with myself, to say the least, for not picking these up in time and I don't have the resources to reprint the corrections. Fortunately these don't affect the gameplay. I hope you can forgive these errors and still enjoy the game.
I'll be posting the corrections on my site and on Board Game Geek so you'll be able to print them off should you wish.
Extra Content
I'll be providing a 2 player variant (again available through my website and Board Game Geek). Also if you remember I mentioned making a game for my birthday. I'm going to make this game available as a free print and play.
I'll post another update once I've uploaded the above.
Until next time...
Games are on there way!

Apologies for the delay in sending out this update, I wanted to make sure I had something concrete to report.
I've spoken to our fulfilment partner GamesQuest, seems there was a bit of miscommunication but game entered their warehouse at the end of last week.
They've advised me that all games should be sent out by the end of this week!
That means you should expect to receive your rewards, depending on where you are, some time within the next 2-6 weeks. UK backers will likely get their games first so let me know what you think!
I'll post another update when I can confirm that all games have indeed left the building.
Thanks!
