SINS Season 2, Canada & Live Stream
about 3 years ago – Tue, Feb 23, 2021 at 09:16:32 PM

Hello backers,

We are so proud to make this announcement, the launch of season two next week. To all the backers of this campaign, we are here thanks to you — too many to name, but not too many to love. We kept our spirits high during last year's challenges, thanks to your heartfelt encouragement.

Canada Update: While we thought every box was well and safely on it's way, one crate went missing (the curse is still roaming). We've emailed most of our canadian backers with a detailed update, but the quick status is, that a replacement crate is leaving our EU hub and will be merged in the US with the remaining stock and from there, enter the Canadian border within a week. We'll keep you updated in your inbox. 

Season 2 Sneak Peak...

We wanted to share an exclusive sneak peak with our season 1 backers, before we go live tomorrow, Feb. 23rd. Sign up now and get notified, and secure your early bird booster pack with amazing holo foil and spot UV.

SINS Season One: Completed!
about 3 years ago – Fri, Feb 05, 2021 at 09:40:02 AM

Hello backers,

It is with a great pleasure, after a long, very long, a troublesome production process, that we are finally at the end. All rewards have been sent. Some are still in transit towards the remaining backers. If you havent recieved your shipping notification or reward within the next week, please check your inbox and mailbox twice, before sending us an email at [email protected]. 

Regardless, we'll help you. 

We still have some cleaning to do; the new rulebook and a few reported replacement cards. But we hope to get through those issues as soon as possible. 

While we had some negative feedback in the comments during December over our lack of talent in logistics, which is fair, we are so delighted see so much positive and lovely feedback from people playing the game. If you have any questions, please send us a message at [email protected]. We're here to answer.  

Thank you all...

Once again, thank you all for backing us. Thank you for beleiving in our efforts. Thank you for supporting us through this long process. Thank you for giving us the time to learn from our mistakes and be able to come back stronger. Thank you for letting us show you, that we will always honour our commitment; making an amazing game. Thank you for creating Cortadoo Games under Luudos Studio and the wonderful people we now employ because of you.

From all of us, thank you!

Sincerely Jacob.

New Rulebook & Shipping Update
about 3 years ago – Sat, Jan 23, 2021 at 10:56:58 AM

Hello backers,

We hope you're all well and safe. Today we'll talk briefly about the new rulebook and the shipping status.

New Rulebook

While we had all the best intentions for going digital with the rules, many saw this as an unexpected design choice, for some, too unexpected. Therefore, we've worked hard on designing a printable rulebook, which we'll ship out to those who have requested it (see previous update for information). 

The new rulebook is available at the same link as before, or by using the QR code in the card deck. (https://luudos.studio/sins/rules/).

Let us know if you have any feedback at [email protected] or suggestions for Card Clarifications.

Shipping Status

Our US hub is sending out the final batches of games, and you should recieve them in a few days. If you have not received your game, by the end of the month, please send us an email at [email protected]. 

That's it for now. 

Sincerely Jacob.

Production, Solo & Online Rules
over 3 years ago – Thu, Dec 31, 2020 at 02:31:20 PM

Hello backers,

First, a big apology! We’ve been away on holidays, taking much needed time with our families during these tragic COVID times during Xmas and new year. I was going to give an update Monday, but seeing the extend and confusion in the comments section, over the past weeks, requires an update immediately.

So let’s dive in and answer some questions, concerns and disputes...

For the latest production update, please read the previous update.

Luudos Studio

Some has seen our merger of Cortadoo Games into Luudos Studio as a sign of closing and abandoning the game and the company. This is far from the truth. On the contrary, we’re are merging to become better, stronger and faster; making SINS the best that it can be. Therefore, you’ll see that websites, Facebook pages and YouTube channels has been renamed and merged together. We apologize for any inconvenience this has created. We didn’t want to upset anyone, but instead make a better company for us and for you. See more about us at https://luudos.studio.

SINS was my first game, my first baby. I love the game and I love the support that we got and the support that we get. It's been a long ride and today, exactly one year ago on New Years eve, together with Louise, I sad and watched the count-down on our first Kickstarter as it ended new years eve 10:00 PM. The fireworks on that campaign, for me, was much more exciting then the following fireworks 2 hours later. SINS not only launched a game, it also launched our company and during the year I've been blessed with finding so many talented people that I've hired and are now full-time employees at Luudos Studio. We are not abandoning SINS and we have many plans for the future of SINS and the SINS extended universe.

So while this has been a bumpy ride and a learning "as we go", we hope that you can see past our imperfections and support us in our mission, our ambitions and our labour of love, bringing better and better dark-fantasy games to your table. 

But, keep in mind, we are not perfect, we are just people doing the best that we can. We are here because of you! Not the other way around!

Solo Module

Unfortunately the solo-link has disappeared during an update of the document, which has resulted in many backers being confused and upset about an unplayable solo-game. The link will be fixed ASAP during the upcoming week. We are so sorry for this technical issue and we’ll fix it within a few days. Therefore, to all our solo gamers, the biggest apology on our lack of technical oversight and capability. We are truly sorry for this. We aim to make this much better in the future.

Online Rules

This is a big one. To be honest, we thought we where being progressive and modern with this decision. Making online-rules as a new forefront for board games. Our reasoning was that we could pass the printing cost onto the game, paying Darryl (SINS Artist), make the rules shareable and make a rules document that would always be up-to-date based on feedback or any erratas. While we didn’t promise or list any rule-book in the content lists, we acknowledge that people expected it nonetheless.

Therefore, as we see that many people experience this design choice as a necessity and a sign of an incomplete game, any backer who wish to have a traditional-printed rules-document, please write us at [email protected] and we’ll ship it out as soon as we get it printed.

Merged Tuck-boxes & Sleeves

Some has commented on the “missing” boxes, which is a result of the two smaller boxes, the "promo" box and the "NSFW" box, being merged into the larger box named "Uncovered". This was a design choice to make things more managable on your shelf. We didn’t want a lot of small boxes if we could make the content more manageable in a bigger tuck-box. We hope you agree in this discussion, as we wrote about during spring 2020. 

Regarding "missing sleeves", the Uncovered box doesn't need sleeves as it replaces cards in the three SINS boxes. Let us know if you'd like additional sleeves anyway, and we'll help you out. 

Please, if you have any questions or concerns or if you’d just like to chat, please write us at [email protected]. We’re here to answer all your questions or engage in a constructive design dialog. We'd love to chat about upcoming ours or other games.

From all of us, to all of you, have a wonderful new year! We are so excited to see you all in 2021.

Sincerely Jacob.

Production Update

Hello backers,

Just a quick update to let you know that fulfillment of EU and Asia/Australia is almost complete. If you havent received your tracking yet, don't worry, it'll come. Gamerati has recived most of the products and are doing a inventory count to ensure that all boxes have arrived. They'll start sending out boxes when they return after new year.

Have a wonderful new year!

Sinverely Jacob.
