Hello!

This is a quick update that Total Sham is now in the USA and will be arriving at the homebase in Chicago shortly after the new year. You can expect the game at your front door, in your hand, and on the table in January 2026. It's been said before, but I'll say it again - thank you so much for your kindness and support. My hope is that you enjoy this game with your friends and family in 2026 and beyond. 

Thank you,

Total Sham - It's Happening!!!
6 months ago – Wed, Sep 03, 2025 at 07:18:35 PM

Hello loyal backers!

It has been a long time since the last update, and for that, I thank you for your fortitude and patience. I usually do not like to give a report if there is, well, nothing to report. So it is with great pleasure to bring you two exciting pieces of news.

First, while I was waiting for a manufacturing opportunity to come along, I designed a bonus card to be included in all copies of Total Sham. I present to you a new Ritual Variant Card - Tariff. May it be a testiment to your long-suffering of international trade, and my special way of saying "thank you!"



Second, I am elated to report that a deal has been struck with Boda Games and production has begun!!! While the wait continues, take comfort in the fact that things are finally moving forward. I will do my best to keep you up-to-date on manufacturing, shipping, and fulfillment dates. Very soon, you should receive a package at your doorstep, and you can finally enjoy Total Sham. 

Thank you,
Jon 

Total Sham - Tariff Update
11 months ago – Sun, Apr 13, 2025 at 07:55:55 PM

Hello everyone,

Many of you are aware of the significant change to US tariffs. This has caused the Total Sham manufacturing from Boda Games to cease. 

However, I am just as excited to see Total Sham in your homes as you are. I will continue to find a suitable location for the game to be manufactured and shipped without too much delay. This should not affect the price on the game or delivery as of now. 

Thank you for your continued support. I will send additional updates as soon as I receive news. 

Thank you,
Grunkle Jon

Total Sham - February Update
about 1 year ago – Wed, Feb 05, 2025 at 09:41:40 PM

Hello!

It has been a long while since the last update for Total Sham, but the project is still alive and well. In fact, a single copy was made and shipped by the manufacturer and the game looks beautiful! There are some minor changes and corrections that still need to be made. I want to ensure that everyone gets the best possible version of this game I have to offer. This will put another small delay in the shipment date, but that is coming up very soon. For now, please enjoy this sneak peak inside the box.

Thank you all for your continued support and patience!

Sincerely,
Jon





Total Sham - November Update
over 1 year ago – Sat, Nov 23, 2024 at 07:06:31 PM

Warm Greetings!

I bear wonderful news. Total Sham is now in queue for production at Boda Games Manufacturing! All of the files have been submitted, and now it is only a matter of time before the game arrives at your front door. We put a lot of energy and care into making this game look fantastic with great gameplay for the whole family. I can't wait for you to finally see what you all have waited for so patiently. 

I wish I could give you a precise timeline on how things will progress for Total Sham. It will take a few months to produce and ship, should everything go smoothly. I will let you know as soon as I have the details.

Thank you all and have a happy Thanksgiving!
Jon
