Hi friends, please check out this post I just made on Board Game Geek regarding the recent progress on the new manual.

Hello friends,
Rules 2.0 printable PDF
I've been listening to some backer feedback regarding how the rulebook could be further optimized, improved, and organized. So I'm putting together a downloadable, printable, pdf for the Rules 2.0 manual.
This will include illustrative breakdowns and hypothetical examples. It will also implement answers built-in for all of the questions I've received. It should be ready in about 10 days.
UnfilteredGamerreview!
We were excited to have Unfiltered Gamer review Backwoods! You can see the review video
Hungry Gamer, How It Plays, and Logan Chops will all be posting reviews of their own soon as well.
CAN shipping issue
Many of you from Canada may have received your games along with an unexpected (for me as well) surprise as the Fulfillment company (Fulex and D6 publisher resources merger) told me they would be sending the games marked DDP (where the sender pays duty) but they messed that up and it went out as Duty Unpaid meaning Canadian backers received a bill from FedEx with duty fees.
They also marked the value of the game randomly from $50-100...which I guess is them taking a dice roll to decide? Any way, sorry to you guys who have received these fees. Here's what the fulfillment co told me they need you to do if you have one of these bills:
1. Pay the bill. This will keep your name and credit score clear!
3. I'll forward the docs to the fulfillment co and they will cut you a check for the duty fees.
More than slightly annoying, but I guess humans still run these operations after all. At least they decided to do the right thing and cover the duty fees! Thanks for helping resolve this.
Thats all for now, folks!
Cheers,
Ryan Williams

Fulfillment Europe out of Germany has finally received the prodcut
after it finally cleared European customs at long last with all the
fun logistical and bureaucratic delays that have plagued the planet
for a while now. I will be submitting the addresses via their
complicated spreadsheet and then they will be quick to prepare
the packages to be shipped to your door! Thanks for your patience thus far!
Best,
Ryan
Upcoming Unfiltered Gamer Review+Shipping Update

Greetings fellow Trail Blazers! I'm excited to announce that Unfiltered Gamer will be giving Backwoods a proper video review in the next month or so. I'll post an update when the video releases!
Now on to our favorite part of life—shipping stuff... >:p
USA
Most of you have received your copies of Backwoods! Others should arrive this week. This is equivalent to taking down a charging bison with a well-placed spear throw! Nicely done!
UK
Games have cleared customs, arrived at Spiral Galaxy fulfillment company and are being processed for door-to-door delivery! They should be sending out tracking numbers to you once this occurs. Check your inboxes and spam (maybe check multiple email addresses if you dont remember which one you used on gamefound) This smells of victory, explorer!
EU (includes Norway, Switzerland, Ukraine, etc)
Maybe I should make a game about trekking barefoot across the Bavarian Alps as an allegory for dealing with the hardships of EU customs delays! Alas, the games currently are nearing the finish for clearing customs in Poland and then they will head to Germany where Fulfillment Europe will handle processing orders and sending them door-to-door throughout Europe! I'll keep updates going as I receive news at each step.
ROW
99% of ROW backers should have received their parcels at this time.
Thank you again for your amazing tenacity throughout this journey, friends. You're the best backer community a creator could ask for.
reminder- check out the official site for a how to play video and Q&A section where you can ask gameplay questions and receive answers! As always, happy dying in the woods!
2. The "Save/Load" Game downloadable/printable PDF can be found there (the web address is in the instruction manual, but here it is as well. This page also includes the "How to Play" video and a Q&A entry form so you can ask a question and it shows the answers to previously asked questions!
Thank you for your unending patience as we've forded river of fulfillment. Some regions have already received their copies, others finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
AUS/ROW
Many have already received their games, and some are in transit.
UK/EU
As we previously have been stating, customs processing for these regions has reportedly been bogged down and it's taking quite a bit longer for shipments to clear. The GOOD news is that the UK shipment has arrived in England and is queued to go through customs.
EU- After a delay because of railroad repairs, the games have reached the border of Poland and are anticipated to reach German customs in three business days.
USA- Check out the "Key" on this sweet interface for the fulfillment company orders! S= Shipped and
C=Completed! out of 302 destinations, only about 15 are pending shipment, and those should also be sent out soon! VERY excited about this progress—and MORE excited for you guys to receive your games!
CAN- Games are at manufacturer facility in California and are pending processing for shipping, which should be quite soon!
That's it for this update, friends. Thanks for your continued support!
