Hello everyone!
We hope that you have been enjoying your decks, books and pins! All backers from this campaign should have received their items by now; preorders placed in the last few weeks should be going out today. This includes packages we have shipped in the US as well as GamesQuest's UK hub.
As of Feb 8 2022, we will no longer be accepting orders shipped outside of the US and Canada. If you have not ordered or filled out your survey and you live outside of the US and Canada, we canno longer fulfill your order. We thank all international customers for their patronage and support! We are sorry the leftover sale shop will not be able to ship orders beyond the US and Canada. You may yet find some artists in Europe have copies to sell if you are needing a book, deck, or certain pins.
Final Sale Information
For the remaining items, we are holding one last sale (shipping to US and Canada only) that includes imperfect copies of the deck, books, and pins. These items are discounted, but are still in great condition!
Slightly damaged goods needing homes!
We will review some of the imperfections here; all sales on these goods are final and should be purchased with the understanding that they all have some flaws to them.
Decks
Damaged to decks includes bent corners, misaligned box printing and stains/dings on the box.
The remaining damged decks have damaged corners; some decks have misaligned printing or smudges on the box. The interior cards should generally be fine, though they may have slightly bent corners. The sale price on these decks is $25.
Books
Scratch on cover.
Book damage typically involves deep scratches on the cover, damage to the foil, misaligned foil and smudges. The interior pages generally look fine. The sale price on these books is $25.
Foil issues
Pins
Imperfect pins are classified as having: marks on the enamel, dust in the enamel, uneven or wrong color enamel, bubbles and/or cracked enamel, and significant uneven metal finishing.
We are listing B grade pins for sale as well. Imperfections on these pins include: scratch marks, dust in the enamel, stray glitter in enamel, missing/chipped enamel and tarnished plating. Most marks are so small that they wouldn't be noticed at a distance, which makes these a pretty good deal! The sale price on all pins is $8.
We will hold this sale from now until Feb 22nd. Once February22nd arrives, we will be closing the Backerkit shop for good. These items may continue to be available through our artists' personal shops, however, the group of items will not be sold together after this date.
As a reminder:
The sale of damaged goods is limited to the US and Canada. You can still technically checkout with a different address, but if you are not from US or Canada, your order will be canceled and refunded.
All sales will end Feb. 22, 2023. All (US and Canada) backers who have not filled out surveys by this time will not receive product.
All sales containing "damaged" goods are final. Please understand that the discount listed on these items is because of their flaws and purchase with caution.
A Final Thank You

Update 12 - All orders have shipped! Did you get yours? If you're in Europe have you received your tracking number?
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Dec 28, 2022 at 04:58:30 PM
Hello everyone!
We hope your year is ending well! We wanted to give you an update on shipping as the year draws to a close.
As of two weeks ago- all US and Canadian orders have been shipped. If you did not receive a tracking number or the tracking number you received has not updated for more than 2 weeks, please do not hesitate to send us a direct message on here so we can investigate the issue. We want everyone to receive their purchases! We have already reshipped a few orders that have gone missing.
As of today, all international orders handled by GamesQuest (Europe,Australia, and more)have been processed and will start moving shortly. Again, if you have questions about your tracking, please contact us so we may update you. Tracking numbers have been sent out if your order comes with a tracking number!
We are excited to say all Loaf artists are also receiving a first payment for the project! We thank you all for your support!
What's next?
US/Canada: Once we have confirmed all shipments have been received safely, we will hold a leftover sale. This sale will include damaged books, damaged decks, and b grade pins, as well as remaining A grade leftovers. B Grade items will only be available to US/Canadian customers due to our shipping setup.
EU/UK/Australia/Residents outside of North America: we still have a few items left with GamesQuest. If you were thinking about placing an additional order, now might be the time! We have a few reserve items left at the warehouse; once all shipments are received, these will be up for grabs. If you place an order now, we will charge you once we have confirmed stock (once all current orders have been received). There is only a handful of each item, so if you have regrets, the backerkit preorder store is still available.
Backerkit will be left open a little longer for everyone. We will host one final sale in February for damaged goods. We will then close the Backerkit Shop and wrap up the project!
As a note, we are still missing surveys from 40 backers, and 13 backers filled out their survey but have failed card payments. Please be sure to fill out your survey by FEBRUARY 1st to ensure you will receive your pledge. After this project closes, we cannot guarantee pledge fulfillment.
Thanks again for supporting our loafly little project!

Update 11- Decks are here! Shipping is starting for everyone!
over 1 year ago
– Fri, Nov 11, 2022 at 03:54:31 PM
Exciting news! Decks have finally arrived! Yay!
Our garage is mostly decks now!
Printer double boxed all decks for their safety!
Decks look great so far! Additionally, for EU/UK/International customers, books, pins and altar cloths have been received by GamesQuest. With our decks arriving, that means the decks bound to GamesQuest's UK facilities are soon to follow.
That means shipping for everyone is about to start soon!
ALL BACKERS PLEASE CHECK YOUR ADDRESSESAND ORDERS!!
We've turned in all order data to GamesQuest. Additionally, for US/Canadian orders, we've begun printing packlists to make sure we pack the orders correctly. If your address is wrong, please message us ASAP so we can fix it. I can still make adjustments to addresses, but starting next week, we may not be able to make changes (especially for international shipments because extra communication is required between GamesQuest and us to correct the problem).
Packing packing packing!
We ask that you have patience with us during the next couple of weeks while we start on shipping. You may all look forward to Loaf goodies very soon!
As a note, if anything is forgotten in your order, please contact us. We try to be thorough, but we are only human. We will include packlists with orders that include multiple items as a reminder as to what you've ordered. With the decks, please note that some cards may stick together when they are fresh from the box. We do hope you'll enjoy this labor of love. We (and all the Loaf artists) are excited to finally see these decks in people's hands!
Thank you for sticking with us on this journey!

Update 10- Shipping on the horizon!
over 1 year ago
– Fri, Oct 28, 2022 at 10:16:28 AM
Hello all! We hope you have all been well! We've been hard at work behind the scenes organizing shipping and production. Here's a progress report for you all!
If you are in the US or Canada, and you ordered books or pins (but not decks yet,) your order is shipping now!
Here are the snake and snow leopard pins! Finally finished! They were the pins that needed new samples made in the last update.
Snow leopard and snake pins!
Some orders of just pins shipped earlier this month, and the rest of the just pin orders are going out this week!
Pins!
Many wolves!
We also had altar cloths arrive!
Deck on altar cloth!
The printing is nice and vibrant and we are so pleased with the quality!
Next on the horizon, BOOKS! Companions books just arrived!
Pallet of books!
Pallet of books, but now indoors! Moving the stack box by box was involved ...
Print Ninja wrapped the books very nicely for transport so they don't slide everywhere and get scuffed up!
Unwrapping the paper from the books! They look good!
They look VERY good! (Holographic affect of natural sunlight hitting holo foil not included in box. The sun just happened to be outside.)
What's left? We are currently waiting on decks to arrive! Decks and companion books are also making their way to the UK for international fulfillment with GamesQuest.
International fulfillment has already proven itself to be quite taxing on us, requiring more paperwork, excel sheets and back and forth emails than anticipated. Additionally, all items will have to be labeled by us for the warehouse. We are still estimating a ship date of January for Europe / Australia / rest of world orders (the exact ship date may come much sooner or later, it's very hard for us to estimate at the moment). Regardless, we thank you all for your patience at this time!
For US/Canadian orders, the answers are much more concrete! The decks are due to arrive in November; as such, deck only and deck/book orders will ship next, probably in late November or early December.
Decks will quickly ship upon arrival. For pons, we will have to grade them for quality before shipping. This is a few thousands pins that we have to look at individually (and additionally, if they are going to GamesQuest, they will have to be labeled for the warehouse). All of this takes time and we hope to keep you updated as packing and shipment progresses!
As always, if you have not filled out your survey, please do so. Additionally, if you are moving, please contact us ASAP so we can update your information accordingly. This is especially important for international customers, as I have to manually update the data for GamesQuests fulfillment (in addition to Backerkit). If you have additional questions, you may message us here on Kickstarter and we'll get back to you as soon as we are able.
Thanks for hanging in there!

Update 9- Production Samples and Supply Chain Updates!
over 1 year ago
– Mon, Sep 19, 2022 at 05:56:12 PM
Hello all! We have exciting news! Production has nearly finished on both the deck and companion books! Both printers sent us production samples in advance to oogle!
Deck and Book!
The deck box! Production samples are a preview of what we will be receiving, complete with foil!
Magnetic box and deck insert!
Very shiny cards!
Look at all the shiny!
The book is also VERY shiny!
It's hard to capture how lovely the foil is in person!
The back is also shiny!
The interior is vibrantly printed!
We even managed to get special binding ribbon in purple!
I feel like these photos do not do the project justice! I'm very happy with the final result.
Here is update on where each item is in the production process:
Books are finished and are on a boat coming to us now!
Decks will finish printing this month and also go on a boat!
Pins will finish hopefully this month or early Oct and go on a boat!
Altar cloths are being printed now, and will go on a truck to us late Sept or early Oct!
Shipment by sea takes a while, as such, we are currently expecting everything to arrive by early November. This is a little short of our original US and Canada October shipping estimate, but still doing pretty good. For Europe and Australia orders, books and decks are currently en route to the UK, but they will take an extra month to arrive, as such we estimate Europeand Australia orders will be ready to ship in January.
Due to organization with GamesQuest, we have gone ahead and locked addresses. You can still update your address if needed; however, you'll need to message us to do so. Please do not hesitate to reach out via Kickstarter DM to update your address if needed.
We do hope you will enjoy these previews and are as excited about the final product as we are! As a reminder, if you can't find your backerkit survey or book pdf, please contact us here through dm so we can get that resolved. All surveys have been sent and PDFs distributed. The PDF distribution was done through Backerkit, and you have to fill out the survey to get the PDF. Please note, the PDF distribution is not instantaneous; we have to go through and process the order manually. If you are missing the pdf, please contact us and we will work on getting it sorted for you.
Thanks again for all of your support!
Amanda & Cari
ps. please definitely double check that you've filled out your backerkit survey! There are about 50 of you who have paid, but not submitted your shipment info or item selections.
