Hello friends,

We have to announce a short delay to the iPad launch & Season 6 Rollover.

We want you to have the best possible experience with our games. In this case, that means holding off on the iPad launch for a little bit longer to confirm that some last-minute additions are in ship-shape before we ship-out.

The following items will launch together, once our QA team says they’re ready to go (we’ll confirm dates for you as soon as we can):

• iPad Launch
• Season 6 Launch
• 7 New Translations
• PC Patch (Fixes/Features)

We’ll also be rescheduling our AMA (ask-me-anything) with r/Boardgames, so stay tuned for details on that.

Thanks for your patience & support— and sorry for this last minute delay! We’ll share more news as soon as possible!
