Hello Terrarians! 🌳
🚢 Shipping + Fulfilment Update
Below is the latest information available for your region. Please be aware that all sea freight dates are estimates provided by the shipping carriers and may change. Once vessels arrive at port, containers must clear customs (a process that can take a few days under ideal circumstances, but may take several weeks if selected for inspection) before being transported overland to fulfilment warehouses and dispatched to individual backers.
Tracking information will be sent to you via email shortly before orders are dispatched from fulfilment warehouses. The email will be sent by the fulfilment company, or by the courier service used by the fulfilment company.
USA (+ Alaska + Hawaii) + Mexico: 2 of 6 containers have arrived at Bridge fulfilment centre, the remainder of the containers are clearing customs. Pre-dispatch stock check underway. As this region has the highest number of backers, fulfilment will take at least 2–3 weeks (possibly longer). Orders will be uploaded in waves, so please don’t worry if others receive tracking before you do.
Canada: Sea freight underway on CMA CGM YUKON. Estimated arrival at port February 27th.
UK:ONE TRADITION. Estimated arrival at port March 12th (Edited) When we first published this update, tracking information provided to us suggested that the UK vessel had already docked and that containers were being unloaded. We have since confirmed with our shipping agents that, due to a delay in transit, the ship is still at sea and has not yet docked. Apologies for the confusion, and thanks for bearing with us while we monitor the shipment and keep you updated!
Europe 1+2: All containers are at the Meeples fulfilment centre, pre-dispatch stock check underway.
Asia 1+ 2: Fulfilment nearing completion.
Australia + New Zealand: Fulfilment nearing completion. Please note that games and playmats may arrive on different days due to postal handling of parcels with different sizes and weights.
As we mentioned in our previous updates, we know this stage of the process can be both exciting and frustrating, especially with shifting ETAs and variables like customs clearance that can take an unpredictable amount of time. We’re in a similar position, relying on updates from our shipping, customs brokerage and fulfilment partners.
Rest assured that we’ll continue to share the latest information as soon as we receive it 😊.
📸 Show Us Your Games!
We love seeing your copies arrive! Share your photos on social media and tag @paperfortgames so we can celebrate with you! 🎉
Boss Miniatures: The push-fit joints may feel tight at first but this is intentional; they are designed to loosen slightly over time without becoming too loose after repeated use.
Dice Tray (Hellstone Pledge) The poppers will be firm when new and will ease with use. When opening, hold the poppers directly rather than pulling the neoprene apart, as this may cause tearing.
❔ Errata + FAQ Info
Despite our best efforts, as with all huge projects like this, it’s inevitable that there will be a small number of errata. Sadly, we can’t push a digital patch to you, but we can collect this information, keep it up to date and make it readily available to you. We’ve combined the FAQ document (accessible via the QR code in the rulebook) with an errata document which will have all the information you need.
Here are 3 errata to be aware of when playing/ reading the rulebook for the first time:
Rulebook page 12 (Character Phase Summary, under ‘Using Other Card Icons and Effects’): In the following sentence it should say face-up, not face-down: “…Once you’ve used every action point, icon and effect on a card, place that card on top of your discard pile, face-up…”
Rulebook page 28 (Additional Rules, under ‘Character Death & Respawning’): Final sentence should read: “…At the start of the Character Phase after you died, replenish your health and mana to their current maximum. Place your character piece on any empty Forest Surface square, or on any unoccupied square in a bed house, then continue playing as normal…”
Queen Bee Loot Cards (1-2P and 3-4P): Loot should include Bee Armor.
We’ll make an updated digital rulebook available in the next few weeks, and we’ll also compile the rulebook errata sections into a single printable file that you can print at home and overlay if you wish 😊
📦 ICYMI: Packing and Stacking Video and In-Depth Unboxing
We recently uploaded a Packing & Stacking video where Chris will walk you through how to organise your Terraria: The Board Game KS Edition. You can access the video via the QR code printed on the Packing & Stacking guide in your game box, or watch it below!
Below you’ll find a fantastic unboxing video of the Hellstone pledge; huge thanks to Joachim for sharing this on his YouTube channel So Many Games, So Little Time. If you have a second, please head over and support his videos by subscribing! 😊
🩹 Missing or Damaged Components
Our pre-packaging seems to be doing a fantastic job of protecting games, but if you have any damaged or missing components, please email [email protected] with your backer information, details of the problem and photographs of any damage. We will work with our fulfilment partners to send replacements as soon as possible once fulfilment in your region is complete! 😊
🥁 Community Spotlight: Underground Theme Drum Cover
We recently discovered an incredible drum cover of Terraria’s Underground theme by @DrummyWalnut – we highly recommend giving it a watch (and apologies in advance if it gets stuck in your head!)
❤️ Become a Fan on BGG and Rate the Game!
If you have a spare minute, we’d hugely appreciate your support over on BoardGameGeek. Clicking the ❤️ button to become a fan and leaving a rating once you’ve received your game both help us tremendously as a small, independent publisher.
We’ll be back with mini-updates as shipping and fulfilment progresses – in the meantime, don’t forget to share the arrival of your games with us on social media tagging @paperfortgames!
Until next time, Terrarians! 😊

Hello Terrarians! 🌳
🚢 Shipping + Fulfilment Update
Below is the latest information available for your region. Please be aware that all sea freight dates are estimates provided by the shipping carriers and may change. Once vessels arrive at port, containers must clear customs (a process that can take a few days under ideal circumstances, but may take several weeks if selected for inspection) before being transported overland to fulfilment warehouses and dispatched to individual backers.
🚢 USA (+ Alaska + Hawaii) + Mexico:HMM VICTORY 058E. Estimated arrival at Port of Atlanta February 14th
🚢 Canada: CMA CGM YUKON. Now departed; estimated arrival at port February 24th
🚢 UK: ONE TRADITION. Estimated arrival at port February 18th
🚢 Europe 1+2:EVER ATOP. Estimated arrival at port February 7th
🚛 Asia 1+ 2: Fulfilment underway
🚛 Australia + New Zealand: Fulfilment underway
As we mentioned in our last update, we know this stage of the process can be both exciting and frustrating, especially with shifting ETAs and variables like customs clearance that can take an unpredictable amount of time. We’re very much in the same boat (pun intended!), relying on updates from our shipping partners and customs brokers (and yes, we’re refreshing the tracking pages too!) so rest assured that we’ll continue to share the latest information as soon as we receive it 😊.
🎉 First Games Arriving with Backers!
We’re thrilled to hear that copies of Terraria: The Board Game are starting to arrive with backers in Asia, with deliveries in Australia just around the corner! We love sharing in your excitement, so feel free to post your arrivals on social media and tag us @paperfortgames - we can’t wait to see them! 👀
Below you’ll find a fantastic unboxing video of the Hellstone pledge; huge thanks to Joachim for sharing this on his YouTube channel So Many Games, So Little Time. If you have a second, please head over and support his videos by subscribing! 😊
🙏 A Little Request: Marking Games as Received on KS
Once your game arrives, it would really help us if you could mark your reward as ‘received’ on Kickstarter. This lets Kickstarter know that fulfilment is underway and that rewards are being delivered successfully.
To do this, simply log in to Kickstarter and head to your profile (click your avatar in the top-right corner). From there, open Backed Projects, select Terraria: The Board Game, and at the top of the page you’ll see this:
Just click ‘Mark as received’ and you’re all set. Thanks for taking a moment to do this!
📦 Packing and Stacking Video
We recently uploaded a Packing & Stacking video where Chris will walk you through how to organise your Terraria: The Board Game KS Edition. You can access the video via the QR code printed on the Packing & Stacking guide in your game box, or watch it below!
✨ Transparent Cards Now Film-Free!
In the rulebook, on page 4 under ‘Overlay Cards’ it says ‘Remove protective film before first use’. Between printing of the rulebooks and packing of the transparent cards, Gameland found a way to protect the cards with varnish instead of film, which means there’s nothing to remove – you can spend less time peeling and more time playing! We added a flyer to each copy of the game that explains this change, but we wanted to add a reminder here too.
🃏 Card Counts + Dimensions
Here’s a reminder of final card counts and card dimensions for the purpose of sourcing your own card sleeves. We strongly advise waiting until you have received your game to buy third-party card sleeves so that you can choose exactly what to order for your individual needs/ preferences.
30 boss cards – if sleeved, use clear sleeves, not art sleeves
32 chest cards (30 base game + 2 promo) – if sleeved, use clear sleeves, not art sleeves
If you are a Hellstone backer, you will be receiving 200 full art card sleeves: enough to sleeve all the action cards in the game, plus loads of spares that you can keep for future, or use with your favourite card games! As noted above, some poker-sized cards in the game (boss and chest cards) have information on both sides of the card and therefore should not be sleeved with these art sleeves.
297 Mini Cards (41 mm x 63 mm)
If sleeved, use clear sleeves, not art sleeves
56 objective cards
175 equipment cards (172 + 3 promo)
66 consumable cards (64 base game + 2 promo)
As we have mentioned previously, we have designed the card box to hold sleeved poker + mini card cards - just remove the foam blocks provided and split the cards across the space created.
Square Cards
The game’s square cards are designed to sit within the player board and shouldn’t be sleeved as it will adversely affect the way the cards’ function during gameplay.
❔ Errata + FAQ Info
Despite our best efforts, as with all huge projects like this, it’s inevitable that there will be a small number of errata. In light of this, we’ve combined the FAQ document (accessible via the QR code in the rulebook) with an errata document which we’ll keep up to date. The few errata we've identified are tiny typos in the rulebook - none of which affect gameplay in any way.
🤩 Community Spotlight: Board Games Houses in Sprite Form!
We’re not sure how this slipped past us, but last year Reddit user VanillaDemonrecreated the board game’s houses as sprites - a perfect full-circle moment! We absolutely love them and couldn’t resist sharing them with you all. Thanks VanillaDemon!
🔥 The 1.4.5 ‘Bigger and Boulder’ Update Releases!
Huge congratulations to the Re-Logic team on the recent release of the Terraria 1.4.5 ‘Bigger and Boulder’ update ! We celebrated by firing up our own copies in the studio (and dreaming about what new content we might be able to bring to the board game in the future! 👀)
On the topic of new content, a huge thank you to everyone who shared their ideas for potential Hardmode expansion content for Terraria: The Board Game! We’ve collected your suggestions and will be reviewing them in upcoming development meetings.
🌳 Keeping You in the Loop
We’ll be back with mini-updates as shipping and fulfilment progresses – in the meantime, don’t forget to share the arrival of your games with us on social media tagging @paperfortgames!
Until next time, Terrarians! 😊

🥳 Terraria 1.4.5 Update Launch Date Announced!
Earlier this week, Re-Logic officially announced that the much-anticipated Terraria 1.4.5 update will launch on January 27th! Huge congratulations to the Re-Logic team for reaching this milestone; 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Terraria fans! 🎉
👀 Looking Ahead to Hardmode
As we’ve mentioned in previous updates, we’d absolutely love to explore future Hardmode content for Terraria: The Board Game. Hardmode was something we actively considered during the game’s design, and we’ve been keeping a growing list of community suggestions from the Kickstarter campaign, State of the Game updates, and social media discussions.
If there’s something you’d be excited to see in a Hardmode expansion or add-on, this is the perfect time to share it! Leave a comment on this update and tell us what should make it into Hardmode; perhaps it’s a boss, weapon, biome, gameplay mechanism or something else! 😀
🌳 Keeping You in the Loop
We’ll be back with mini-updates as shipping and fulfilment progresses, and we can't wait to hear your Hardmode suggestions!
Until next time, Terrarians! 😊

November/ December 2025 Update: MPC Approved! + Games Getting Ready to Leave the Factory + PAXU Recap + Class Build Examples + More!
3 months ago
– Thu, Dec 04, 2025 at 06:22:50 AM
Hello Terrarians! 🌳
We've got some very exciting news...
🎉 MPCs (Manufacturer Production Copies) Approved!
We are very, very happy to report that Gameland managed to get updated MPCs to us quicker than anticipated, and after a thorough review at the end of last week, they have been fully approved! 🤩 That means it’s full steam ahead with packing, shipping and fulfilment.
🚚 What Happens Next?
Games are currently being packed and divided into shipments that will travel to fulfilment hubs across the world. Once these splits are complete, each batch will be transported by lorry to the sea port and loaded onto cargo ships destined for each region. The only exception here is games for backers in Asia – these will be transported overground to fulfilment hubs, rather than by sea.
📍 As soon as each ship leaves port, we’ll share the vessel name and tracking information for every region.
While the games are in transit, we’ll be finalising fulfilment data and sending everything to our fulfilment partners so they can dispatch your copies as efficiently as possible once stock arrives.
📦 Carton Customisation
One perk of pre-packaging everything is the ability to customise the outer cartons. Within the limitations of black ink on brown cardboard, we’ve given each carton a little extra personality!
⏰ Timeline
Our estimated timeline remains unchanged from the previous update. With the holiday season approaching and international shipping lanes growing more congested, it’s still difficult to predict exact arrival dates for each region, but getting the MPC earlier than expected means that games will be leaving the factory a couple of weeks earlier than anticipated - hooray! 😃
There is a possibility that some backers in Asia may receive their pledges before the end of the year, but backers in most regions can expect to receive their games in early 2026.
❗ Tax IDs for Backers in Mexico
Thank you to backers in Mexico who have responded to our email requesting personal Tax ID (RFC) numbers. There are still quite a few who haven’t responded; if you are a backer in Mexico please check your emails for a link to a form where you can submit this information. The email subject is ‘Provide Your RFC Number for Terraria: The Board Game’.
We won’t be able to send your pledge until we have received this information, as there will be a high likelihood it will be returned.
If you can’t find the email with the link, please contact us ASAP at [email protected] and we’ll send it to you.
If you have already submitted this information, you don’t need to do so again.
⚔️ Class Build Examples
Recently, a backer asked if we could share examples of different class builds (equipment, armor, consumable and action card combinations that would allow you to lean into a certain playstyle) We thought it was a great idea (thanks Pate!); you can find some simple examples below!
Matt and Chris recently returned from PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia, PA – it was a tiring but fantastic trip and a wonderful chance to meet backers and show the game. They managed to fit everything for the booth into their luggage; Terraria just fits into carry-on dimensions with some room leftover for spare socks! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the stand; we never get tired of meeting Terrarians and witnessing people's excitement at seeing the game in person; especially the transparent armor cards, modular bosses and world playmat!
The convention was also a chance to catch up with the Artovision team who make the official Terraria shadowboxes!
🌳 Keeping You in the Loop
We’ll publish our next update once games have started loading onto boats 😊
Thank you, as always, for your incredible support and patience. We're so close and we can’t wait for you to experience Terraria: The Board Game!
