Hello Vigilantes and Mercenaries,
We have some quick updates on shipping today.
United Kingdom
I'm pleased to announce that Zatu Games (in Norwich) will be sending out copies of the games to UK backers this week!
Australia, Canada, and the U.S.
The Seaspan Thames currently is en route to the U.S. and is expected to arrive on October 31st (a slight delay from our previous update). From there, FunAgain Games will be coordinating shipments to backers from Australia, Canada, and the U.S.!
EU, Rest of Europe, and South Korea
Your games should have arrived! If there were any issues, please reach out to us at [email protected].
If there are any rules questions once Vigilante arrives, you could definitely ask on the forum, which I'll be checking and updating regularly: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/265369/vigilante/forums/0
Other Updates
Vigilante: Story Mode, the cooperative standalone campaign game is in testing, and several new cards from Vigilante: Hidden Motives, an expansion, will be tested at Protospiel North on Nov. 12th-14th!
In the spirit of Hallowe'en, I'm pleased to feature one of the many new Villains in Vigilante: Story Mode. This was illustrated by a new artist, Nicoleta Stavarache - who has done a number of pieces for Story Mode!
Thank you, have a great week, and a Happy Hallowe'en!

Shipping Update - September 16, 2021

Hello Vigilantes and Mercenaries!
Australia, Canada, the UK, and the U.S.
The games are departing on the Hyundai Courage, which has sailed from Shanghai to Pusan (South Korea), and will be shipping from Pusan directly to the U.S. Unfortunately the updated timeline puts the arrival in the U.S. at October 21st (a 4-week delay from our previous update). I'll keep you all posted as I have more updates, and will continue to work with our freight forwarder and fulfillment provider to try to mitigate any further delays.
EU, Rest of Europe, and South Korea
Happyshops has received their copies of Vigilante and will be shipping these out as early as tomorrow!
Please feel free to share pictures of your game to our Facebook group! If there are any questions, please reach out at [email protected].
What's next?
Story Mode
Just last night I received an updated prototype copy of Vigilante: Story Mode, a standalone expansion that is currently in testing. It will be some time before the game is the most enjoyable version of itself, but the beauty of this version is that it's cooperative, and will provide new modes and lots of new cards and content!
Promotional Cards
I'm currently working on some new promo cards for the game, that add further variability to the game. Most of the art is completed for the first batch of promo cards. Stay tuned for more!
Expansion?
Where Story Mode is a standalone expansion that adds several cards to Vigilante that enable 'nice' behaviour, a follow-up expansion would further round out the social deduction aspects of Vigilante. What does that mean? New Scenarios, more Mercenaries, more Agency cards, more Identities, and more characters and equipment that interact with Event Tokens and Allegiance Tokens.

Production is Complete - Next Steps

Good morning / afternoon / evening Vigilantes and Mercenaries!
We have made some progress and have some exciting news (with the caveat that more details will be provided in the coming weeks)!
Production & Assembly
Production and assembly of the 500 copies of Vigilante have been completed by DoFine Games! The shipment has been split between 470 copies destined for the U.S. (many for further distribution), and 30 copies destined for Germany.
Australia, Canada, the UK, and the U.S.
The 470 copies that are being shipped to FunAgain include those for Australia, Canada, the UK, and the U.S. These will go via sea shipment, which is currently scheduled to depart on September 4th and arrive on September 24th. Please note that lately there have been several delays with sea shipments - hopefully due to the size of the shipment, we don't run into any on our end. I'll keep you all posted as they make their way there!
EU, Rest of Europe, and South Korea
30 copies have been air-shipped to Happyshops in Germany, and are actually already in transit (and in Germany). I'll connect with Happyshops once they arrive to give you an update of when you can expect your copies. Needless to say, it shouldn't be much longer!
I'm eagerly anticipating the day that these are in all of your hands, and that you get a chance to play it with your friends and/or family.
Thanks again for the support and encouragement,
Reed Mascola

Happy Friday Vigilantes and Mercenaries!
Hopefully this update will be an exciting one entering into the weekend. I have received the advance copy from DoFine Games today, and provided a few packaging suggestions, along with approval to move forward to assembly. The advance copy is essentially a production copy provided for final sign-off (note that all components have already been mass-produced).
I have been in touch with my freight forwarder and fulfillment partners to ensure a smooth hand-off once the games are ready to ship. I'd like to provide some pictures from the advance copy of the game:
And finally, here's a picture of how everything fits into the box - you can see that there's a lot of room for expansion content!
Are there any pictures that you'd like to see? Let us know in the comments below!
Thanks and have a great weekend,

Quick Update - Vigilante Production
almost 3 years ago
– Mon, Aug 02, 2021 at 05:23:24 AM
Happy Monday Vigilantes and Mercenaries!
We have a quick update today! In our last update, we had signed off on all of the components. Shortly after, DoFine Games had provided us a picture of the insert to show that all of the components fit in their respective spots (not everything is in the right place in the below photo - but we confirmed fitment of specific components afterwards). Once I gave the green light, they moved into insert mass production.
Fast forward to today - DoFine is shipping me the completed advanced copy, which is expected to arrive next Monday (August 9th). As next steps, I'm currently waiting on:
- Final packaging specs to communicate with my freight forwarder and fulfillment partners
- Timeline for completion of production, to communicate with the freight forwarder and fulfillment partners
I'm looking forward to bringing this game to your table, and will keep you all posted on the next steps!
Thank you and have a great week,
