Production Update
29 days ago – Sun, May 10, 2026 at 11:28:24 AM

Hello Meerkat Enthusiasts!

I’ve been getting quite a few messages asking for an update on Meerkat Kingdoms. I was originally hoping to wait until production was fully complete so I could provide more detailed information, but I didn’t want to keep everyone waiting any longer after receiving so many requests.

Production

Production is currently well underway and is expected to be completed at the end of this month. Once production wraps up, we’ll begin arranging ocean freight to the various fulfillment hubs. After those shipments are booked, I’ll be able to provide a much clearer estimate on when fulfillment will begin.

I will be locking orders on May 20th, with cards being charged a few days afterward. An email reminder will be sent out beforehand as a heads up. If you haven’t yet completed your shipping information, please make sure to do so before those dates!

Once these next steps are finalized, we’ll have much more information to share. Thank you all so much for your patience and support, we’re almost there!

Jason and the Argonauts

Lastly, we currently have a new game live on BackerKit: Jason and the Argonauts!The campaign funded in just 10 minutes and is currently over 1300% funded with more than 1,900 backers. We’d love to have you join us on another adventure if it sounds like something you’d enjoy.

Jason and the Argonauts is a Greek mythology-themed solo game filled with immersive lore, dice rolling, dice manipulation, and epic boss battle mechanisms.

That’s all for now! We’ll share another Meerkat Kingdoms update as soon as we have more information. Thanks again for your continued patience and support!

Thanks!

Update With Pictures

Hello Meerkat Enthusiasts!

I wanted to provide a quick update on Meerkat Kingdoms for everyone and share some pictures of the progress.

Deluxe Insert
As you know we had a deluxe insert made by Folded Space for Meerkat Kingdoms, below are images of the latest insert. It will be able to properly store everything from the base game and the 5th player expansion including the dice faction add-on.

Production Sample
The manufacturer insisted on creating a sample of the game for a final approval before moving into mass production, we ultimately agreed with them that this would be the best way forward, especially since we need to send a copy to Folded Spaces to make sure the deluxe insert fits properly, the slights miss measurements could make the insert not fit properly. 

Below you can see the sample copy of the game. The only thing we are waiting on are the dice which are supposed to be ready this week. Once we have the dice we can send a copy to Fold Spaces and give a final approval to move into mass production. 

We will provide another update in about a month on the progress of the game.


Lastly, we will be launching a new campaign on Kickstarter on March 31st for our next 3 tiny games, Dragon Roost, Prowl & Space Potato. If you're interested in any of these game, we'd love to have your support!  Click here to follow the campaign!

Thanks!

Quick Update!
4 months ago – Mon, Feb 16, 2026 at 10:57:22 AM

Hello Meerkat Enthusiasts!

First off, thank you for your patience. I know this update took a little longer than usual. I was honestly hoping to wait until I had something a bit more exciting to share, but I also want to keep you fully in the loop.

Because Meerkat Kingdoms is one of the largest games Envy Born Games has ever published, I’ve been moving a bit more deliberately through the preproduction process. I’ve been spending extra time reviewing files and communicating closely with the manufacturer to make sure everything is absolutely correct before we move into full production.

During final e-proof review (which we received a couple of weeks ago), we did catch a few small issues that needed correction. I’m very glad we found them now rather than after manufacturing began. Those corrections have been made, all final files have been submitted, and the e-proofs are officially approved.

Manufacturing is scheduled to begin shortly after the team returns from Chinese New Year.

Because of the additional proofing adjustments and the holiday timing, fulfillment will likely shift back a bit from the original projection. That said, I want to reassure everyone, everything is moving forward properly, and the game will absolutely be fulfilled to all backers.

Once the manufacturer is fully back and production officially begins, I’ll receive a more detailed production timeline and will share that with you right away.

Thank you again for your continued support, trust, and excitement for Meerkat Kingdoms. It truly means a lot.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments and I’ll respond as quickly as I can.

Thanks!

Quick Update

Hello Meerkat Enthusiasts!

I wanted to share a quick update with you all!

Nothing major to report. Everything is moving along as scheduled, no changes to the timeline. The pledge manager is currently open, and we still have about 100 backers who haven’t completed their surveys yet. If you’re one of them, please take a moment to fill yours out when you can. It really helps keep everything on track.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season! We’ll continue working hard on our end and will be back with another update next month.

Thanks so much,
Mathue Ryann

Hello Meerkat Enthusiasts!

Its been about a month so I wanted to provide a quick update to you all.

Pledge Manager
Due to how the international shipping partners we work with operate, we are going to switch to using the Backerkit Pledge Manager. 

I am currently working on uploading all of the information needed to Backerkit, once I'm done with that I will launch the pledge manager and send out invites. During this time you can add any additional add-ons to you order as well and provide your shipping information. Invites should be sent out sometime next week if everything does as planned. 

Thats it for now, please reach out with any questions or concerns.

Thanks!
