Hi everyone!
I have some exciting news to share. Boba Mahjong Grande is almost ready! 🎉
The games are currently wrapping up production, and everything is looking great. If everything continues on schedule, the finished games should ship to our fulfillment warehouse next week.
Once the games arrive and are processed by our fulfillment partner, we expect to begin shipping rewards to backers in about two weeks. It has been a long journey from design to production, and we're finally reaching the finish line!
As soon as fulfillment begins, I'll post another update with more details, including what to expect and when tracking information should become available.
I know this project has taken a little longer than originally planned, and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding throughout the process. Your support has made it possible to bring Boba Mahjong Grande to life, and I can't wait for everyone to finally get their copies on the table.
Thank you again for being part of this journey. The wait is almost over! 🧋💛
Cheers,

Production Update – Pre-Production Samples Arrived!
about 1 month ago
– Mon, Jun 29, 2026 at 12:16:08 PM
Hi everyone!
I have some exciting news to share. We received the pre-production samples last weekend! 🎉
Overall, I'm very happy with how everything turned out. The games look great, and it's wonderful to finally hold them in my hands after months of development. There are a few minor printing issues that I'll be reviewing with the manufacturer over the next few days, but thankfully nothing appears to be major. Once those small adjustments are made, we'll be ready to move on to the next step.
I've included some photos below so you can see how everything is coming together. I hope you're as excited as I am!
A Schedule Update
Unfortunately, I also have some disappointing news.
Based on our original schedule, I had hoped that by now the games would already be in production and preparing for fulfillment. However, we've experienced several unexpected delays throughout the production process. As we worked through approvals and revisions, another Chinese holiday period arrived, which has pushed the schedule back even further.
I sincerely apologize for the delay. I know many of you have been looking forward to receiving your copies, and I always do my best to deliver as close to the estimated timeline as possible.
At this point, I believe we are approximately one to two months behind schedule. Assuming everything goes smoothly from here, I expect fulfillment to begin in time for backers to receive their rewards around October.
I truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support throughout this journey. As an independent publisher, I always prefer taking a little extra time to make sure the final product is something we're all proud of, rather than rushing it out with issues that could have been avoided.
I'll continue to keep you updated as production progresses, and hopefully the next update will be the one where I can tell you that production is complete and shipments are on their way.
Thank you again for being part of Boba Mahjong Grande. I can't wait for everyone to finally get these games on the table.
Cheers,

Production Update – End of May Progress
2 months ago

Hi everyone!
Just a quick update on where we are with Boba Mahjong Grande production.
By the end of May, we successfully finalized both the production quotation and production quantities. We have also submitted all graphic files to the factory, which is a major milestone for the project. 🎉
At the moment, we are waiting to receive the pre-production graphic proofs for review and approval. This step allows us to carefully check colors, layout, text, and overall print quality before moving forward. Once those proofs are approved, the factory will prepare a final mock-up sample for our review.
After the mock-up is approved, we will be ready to move into full production.
I attempted to follow up yesterday regarding the status of the proofs, but our contact person is currently returning from the UK Games Expo. Once she is back in the office, I will follow up again and gather the latest information.
Thank you all for your patience and support throughout this process. While waiting is never the most exciting part of crowdfunding, these review stages are important to ensure the final product meets the quality standards we all want for Boba Mahjong Grande. Btw, we do have a lot of moving pieces for a small project.
As always, I'll keep you updated as soon as I have more news to share.
Cheers,

Production Progress & Expansion Preview

Hi everyone,
Hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend! 💛
I wanted to share a quick progress update on Boba Mahjong Grande.
🏭 Development & Graphic Files
We’re a little behind schedule, mainly due to some challenges during development and graphic design. Nothing major, but enough to slow things down a bit as we worked through details to make sure everything looks and plays the best it can.
The good news:
- About 90% of the graphic files have now been delivered to the printer
- The remaining files will be completed and sent by next week
We’re getting very close to wrapping up this phase and moving into pre-production.
🎨 Expansion Sets — Final Look!
We’re excited to share the final look for all three expansion sets:
A lot of care went into polishing these, and we hope you love how they turned out! Each one brings its own flavor and twist to the game, and we can’t wait for you to try them.
📦 Pledge Manager Timing Update
Originally, we planned to charge shipping and add-ons around April 15th.
To better align with production readiness, we’ve decided to move this to May 1st (or once production is confirmed).
This gives us a bit more time to ensure everything is finalized before locking things in.
💛 Thank You
Thank you so much for your patience and continued support. We’re making steady progress, and your encouragement really helps keep things moving forward.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to help and answer questions!
More updates soon,
Ta-Te 🧋✨
Boba Mahjong Grande Production Progress
5 months ago
– Wed, Mar 11, 2026 at 07:10:34 PM
Hi everyone!
Just a quick update on where things stand with Boba Mahjong Grande.
Things have been a little slower than usual over the past couple of weeks due to the post–Chinese New Year period, when many manufacturers are catching up on orders and schedules. The good news is that we’ve now received the quotes and confirmations we needed, so we’re moving forward again.
🎨 Graphic Files & Pre-Production
Next week, we’ll begin sending the finalized graphic files to the factory. Our goal is to have all digital graphic files confirmed by the end of the month. Once those are approved, we’ll move into the pre-production phase.
During pre-production, the factory will produce either photos of the samples or actual pre-production copies for us to review. This step is important because it allows us to double-check colors, materials, and print quality before giving the final approval.
🏭 Next Step: Production
After the pre-production samples are confirmed, we’ll officially move into full production.
As always, thank you for your patience and support while we work through each step carefully. Our goal is to make sure the final version of Boba Mahjong Grande looks and feels as good as it possibly can.
More updates coming soon! 🧋✨
Cheers,
Ta-Te
