Thank You for Helping the Colony Evolve

Hi everyone,
When March of the Ants was originally released, we hoped it would find a home at a few tables. Instead, it found a passionate colony of players who kept it alive, shared it with friends, and continued asking for more! Your love for the original is what made it possible to return to it, refine it, and grow it into this Evolved Edition.
This campaign exists because of that support. Your enthusiasm, feedback, and belief in the project gave us the opportunity to bring it back stronger. Seeing the colony grow again has been incredibly meaningful for us.
As fulfillment has wrapped up across most regions, we know that some backers may still be waiting or may need assistance. If you have not yet received your package, please reach out to [email protected] and CC: [email protected] so we can make sure your order is taken care of as quickly as possible.
If your game arrived damaged, is missing pieces, or you’re experiencing any other issues, you can request replacement parts directly here:

Thank you again for being part of this journey and for helping the colony evolve. We’re truly grateful for your continued support.
With appreciation,
The Weird City Team
Update on Shipping & Tracking
4 months ago
– Sun, Dec 14, 2025 at 10:24:36 AM
Hi folks,
If you’re still waiting on your package or haven’t received tracking yet, we’re really sorry for the delay and the frustration this has caused.
During fulfillment, a data upload issue affected a small number of orders, including some shipments going to Asia, Australia and the UK. That issue has been identified, and we’re working closely with our fulfillment partners to make sure the remaining orders are moving out as quickly as possible.
We also know that response times were slower than they should have been at points, which only adds stress when you’re waiting for answers. Our fulfillment partners are actively catching up on open tickets and prioritizing anything unresolved or time sensitive.
For order specific updates, please reach out to [email protected]. If you’re located in the EU (excluding the UK), you can contact [email protected]. UK backers should continue using [email protected].
If you’ve had trouble getting a response, feel free to CC us ([email protected]) and we’ll help escalate where we can.
Thanks again for your patience. We really appreciate it, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.

It’s time for another round of March of the Ants: Evolved Edition shipping updates! Nearly every region now has games in hand and is either shipped, shipping or in final prep for fulfillment.
🇺🇸 United States (via 902A LLC / AllPlay)
Vessel: GJERTRUD MAERSK
Departed: August 20, 2025
Arrived: September 15, 2025
AllPlay has been finishing out the remaining pledges, and U.S. fulfillment is wrapping up. If you are a late backer and have not received tracking, please reach out to [email protected].

We have heard from a few backers whose orders were marked as shipped in the AllPlay system before tracking arrived. Please reach out to AllPlay if this is the case for your order.
🇨🇦 Canada (via Board Game Bliss)
Vessel: EVER SAFET
Arrived in Port (Toronto): October 3, 2025
There was a short delay getting games into the fulfillment queue, but Board Game Bliss has now begun shipping orders. Several backers have already received their games.
We have also heard reports of games arriving without tracking emails being sent first. If your pledge shows up early, enjoy your ants. If you have not received tracking or your game yet, don’t worry. We are at the top of the queue and fulfillment is moving.
We have reached out to AllPlay (who coordinates with Board Game Bliss) for an update on tracking numbers and will share more information soon.

Shipping Update #3

Time for some shipping updates!
🇺🇸 United States (via 902A LLC / AllPlay)
Vessel: GJERTRUD MAERSK
Departed: August 20, 2025
Arrived: September 15, 2025
The last packages are shipping this week, if you’re a late backer and you haven’t seen tracking sent to you by the end of this week, please email us at [email protected]. Please double check your spam folder for tracking from [email protected]
We have heard from some backers who were concerned that the All Play site was showing all games as shipped when they had not received their order or shipping notice. We apologize for any concern and want to assure any backers that are still awaiting their games that we will get you your pledge.
🇨🇦 Canada (via Board Game Bliss)
Vessel: EVER SAFET
Arrived in Port (Toronto): October 3, 2025
Canadian orders have arrived at Board Game Bliss after clearing customs. Addresses are locked and we expect fulfillment to begin the week of October 13–17.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom (via Spiral Galaxy)
Vessel: YM TROPHY
Departed: August 25, 2025
Arrives in Port: October 11, 2025
Once the shipment clears customs, it will head to Spiral Galaxy. UK fulfillment is expected to start the week of October 20–25.
🇩🇪 Germany / EU (via Fulfillment Europe)
Vessel: ZEPHYR LUMOS
Departed: August 17, 2025
Scheduled to arrive in Port: October 23rd, 2025.
Unfortunately, this shipment has been delayed multiple times en route but we are hopeful that this arrival date will stick. We have also heard that the Port of Rotterdam is very congested at this time so clearing customs may take some additional time.
We’re hoping the games will land as scheduled and clear customs quickly allowing them to arrive at Fulfillment Europe in early November. If we can stick to that schedule, EU shipping should begin the week of November 3–7.
🇦🇺 Australia (via Aetherworks)
Departed: August 20, 2025
Arrived in Port: September 15, 2025
Fulfillment is expected to begin next week once warehouse check-in is complete.
🇨🇳 China & Asia (via VFI)
Games have already arrived in China and VFI has begun fulfillment. Packages are actively being shipped to backers in China and forwarded to regional hubs throughout Asia.
Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm as these games make their way to you! We’re nearly there, your colonies are almost home. 🐜💚

Shipping Update #2

Hi Everyone!
We are officially in the shipping phase. Games are moving through ports, warehouses, and fulfillment centers around the world. Depending on your region, timelines will vary a bit. Here is what you can expect:
🇺🇸 United States
Shippign is underway in the US with many backers receiving games and shipping notices. Some backers have reported a large gap from when they received shipping notices and when the shipment showed movement. This is caused by the fact that the labels are printed in large batches during Kickstarter fulfillment. It is normal to see a gap between when the label is created and when the package is scanned into the system. We've heard from All Play that the packing team is aiming to wrap up US fulfillment this week so games should be headed to all backers by the end of this week.
👉 If you do not see movement on your tracking label by the end of the week, please visit help.allplay.com
🇨🇦 Canada (via Board Game Bliss)
Games will arrive in port in Toronto on October 3rd and should arrive at Board Game Bliss for fulfillment on October 10th. We will be locking Canadian addresses later this week and we expect fulfillment to begin the following week.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
UK shipment is scheduled to arrive on October 11th. It will then take about a week for the games to get to Spiral Galaxy. We expect orders are to begin shipping during the week of October 20th-25th.
🇦🇺 Australia
Games have arrived at the port in Australia. We are waiting on final delivery to the warehouse. Shipments are expected to begin next week.
🇩🇪 Germany (via Fulfillment Europe)
Games are scheduled to arrive in port on October 12. Fulfillment should commence the week of Oct 20th-25th after they clear customs and reach the warehouse.
🇨🇳 China and Asia (via VFI)
Games have already arrived in China. VFI is actively shipping to backers in China and forwarding to regional hubs around Asia.
🔄 Replacements and Support
If you are missing a component or need help after your game arrives, please use this link:
👉 Allplay Replacement Parts
Local Pickup (Portland, Oregon)
If you signed up for Local Pickup in the pledge manager please join us at Guardian Games this Sunday October 5th from 1-5pm to pick up your games. If you cannot make it to the event, you can pick up your game from Guardian Games anytime between October 5th and October 19th. We sent an email to all local pickup backers with full details. If you have not received one or have any questions please contact us through Kickstarter.
Thank you!
