The first orders are beginning to go out to backers, and I am so excited to finally be in the fulfillment phase of the campaign. This is the beginning of the end and folks will soon be playing Molly House out in the world. It's been quite a ride, but it's not over yet. I'll be sharing some fulfillment updates by shipping zone below but first I wanted to share this essay that was posted earlier this week.
Dan Thurot wrote a preview piece on Molly House during the crowdfunding campaign and recently he shared a follow-up essay about his experience with the final game. It's a reflective and careful piece and i couldn't help but share this essay with you. You can read it here on his website. Please do. I think it's quite a special bit of writing.

Fulfillment Update
US + EU + UK Backers: Each shipment is still en route to its respective fulfillment center (US in Wisconsin, EU in Leipzig, UK in Telford) . Given there still maybe delays since each has not cleared customs, I am still hoping for arrivals before the end of the month and for fulfillment to backers to proceed in March. We previously shared that we would be locking addresses next week, but as we need to get started with address validations a bit sooner, I am going to be sending out final 48 hour address confirmations for all backers today! You'll receive email tracking information info from your shipping center as expected. If you have any issues with your address confirmation or concerns, please reach out to us directly anytime support@wehrlegig.com and we'll be happy to help.
CA + AU/NZ Backers: We've started shipping in Canada and Pick & Pack will be done with fulfillment likely by next week! AU/NZ is shortly behind and should start up fulfillment at Aetherworks next week. Please let us know if there are any issues with fulfillment or your pledge. So far things have run pretty smoothly given some staff shortages, but let us know how we can help. And also please tag us if y'all play molly house!! We would love to see photos of it on your tables!
SEA / INT'L Backers: Many Int'l backers will be receiving their copies from our EU based fulfillment partner and many Oceania backers will be getting their games via a shipping partnerships with VFI Asia. I will be reaching out to backers in SEA that pre-ordered some items that I've recently found out are not available for delivery from VFI, so I will reach out and contact you shortly about those items. You will not need to pay for additional shipping though we may have to do a split shipment for some orders due to stock shortages of Pax/JoCo items.
As always with every backer, please reach out if there is anything with your pledge over email as that remains the best channel for us: support@wehrlegig.com

Videos! (The Year Ahead 2025)
Lots of new videos in the works, but in case you missed our annual live stream from last month, check it our below. Cole and I do a very quick, narrated Molly House unboxing and I show off a quick demo of Hell-raisers, our upcoming game about the labor movement in West Virigina in the early 20th century.
We are still working on arranging a full-playthrough videos and a how to play video. Hoping those will come out in March so I hope to share more in our next update. You can also check out the suite of videos our solo-designer Ricky made which include a detailed unboxing video and several on a his solo playthrough of MH.

Thanks as always for bringing this project into existence. The past few months and especially few weeks have been intense given the current state of the world that we are releasing Molly House into. We are so grateful to our backers that allowed us to unabashedly share this slice of queer history.
