Hair of the Dog - Final Manufacturing Stretch

This is a repost of the November Kickstarter Update. The same information applies to anyone who has pre-ordered Hair of the Dog.

This month’s update will be short and sweet, like a dachshund that rolled in maple syrup. We have our manufacturing completion date. The bulk production of Hair of the Dog will be completed on December 15th. We’ve received a proof copy and are delighted by the results. Here’s what the final product looks like.

The front and back of the game box. It shows dogs getting treats and being pet.
The game's plastic tray. Components that are prominently shown include mugs with translucent tokens, cards with dogs on them, and wooden pawns.
A sample setup with the game pieces. It shows several bar tiles with dog cards on them and a player with several dog cards.

We’re in the process of arranging freight shipping. While it is unlikely that we’ll be able to secure the games before Christmas, it shouldn’t be long after. As we’ve previously said, this is the most uncertain part of the process. Historically, freight shipping has taken as few as two weeks for us. Pandemic-fueled delays have also pushed previous projects into the three-month timeframe. We’ll have a better idea when the ship sets sail.
