Unexpected Delays
Friends, it is with great sorrow that we must report some delays for our upcoming summer releases. Our manufacturing partner has informed us that they are currently running behind schedule and will be unable to catch up. As such, we are pushing back our release dates a few weeks in order to ensure our games are manufactured with quality and attention to detail that you have come to expect from us.
The largest delay will be the Polish edition of the 51st State Master set which will now be delayed until September. First Martians will be delayed for a few weeks and will begin shipping on July 1st. New armies for Neuroshima Hex (English) will be delayed until August. These include Death Breath, Steel Police, New York, Mississippi, Vegas, and Smart.
We apologize for the delay and hope you will understand. Unexpected demand for Robinson Crusoe, First Martians, and Neuroshima Hex have held our manufacturing partners at their peak output. We are very concerned with the quality of our products. Giving the manufacturer a few extra weeks to prepare will ensure that your favorite games are printed and packaged with the utmost care.

Do you have any news about Stronghold 2 nd undead expansion?
Thanks
Delayed 🙁
I see that we’re getting the English expansions for Vegas and Smart.
Is there a timeline for when the last two armies will be available in English – Sharrash and Neojungle?
We will provide detailed schedule on our website ASAP
Why is my previous comment under ( Your comment is awaiting moderation.) ??? I’m just asking if i can change my adress because of the delay… I’m on vacation then.
Glad to hear you will use express shipping for the First Martians pre-orders. Will you also use express shipping for people in the EU who pre-ordered First Martians (or is it only to the US since they will take longer to reach their destination)? Just curious. 🙂 Looking forward to getting my pre-order copy 🙂
Yes, express shipping to everybody.
And I can see my copy of Scavengers is already in the mail, so my question was answered in the best possible way! So excited! Thanks! 51st fan Freddy.
I too paid a premium price to get First Martians in June. There has been vey little communication with us and – to be frank – I had expected better from Portal.
Please let us know. Something.
The game will be released on 23rd of August. Our fans will receive the game in July, we start shipping 3rd of July and we will use UPS Express Shipping to deliver the game at the fastest possible schedule. Our fans will receive the game weeks before the release.
Excellent! Thanks for the reply 😀
Hi Portal, Thanks very much for keeping us all up to date with the latest delivery projections, and for prioritising quality over speed. Looking forward to getting the game, whenever it’s ready. All the best, Matthew.
Please let us know if this means the First Martians preorder will not be here until July.
What Bruce said…I was one of the “3000” early adopters, and my real reason for pre-ordering was just the “early arrival” novelty. Wondering now if I will be receiving the game at the same time…or even worse…a bit later than the “masses”.
What about the Scavengers Expansion for the english 51st State Master Set?
It’s already in our warehouse in U.S.
It will be released very soon.
Hi Portal,
Thanks very much for keeping us all up to date with the latest delivery projections, and for prioritising quality over speed. Looking forward to getting the game, whenever it’s ready. All the best, Matthew.
That’s so great……. I’ll be on vacation then when the game arrives. Is there a way i could change the delivery adress ?
Of course, contact us via email.
I am waiting for Robinson Crusoe, but I am OK with waiting for a good game.
Hi, does the delay include the pre order of First Martians?
Thanks Bruce
