Hello lovely backers!
We hope you've been enjoying your time in the village and by the lake! We LOVE seeing all these photos and videos of your deliveries pop up in our Discord and social media! If you like the game, please take moment to rate the game on BoardGameGeek? Thanks a lot!
Mighty Holidays
We just wanted to let you know that the Mighty Boards team is taking a holiday break from December 21st onwards and will be back in full force on January 6th! Don't worry, if anything urgent pops up, you can still contact us here and on support at mighty-boards.com, though we might respond a bit slower than usual.
Regarding damaged copies, missing items and component replacements, please fill and send us a replacement form found on our website - link below - and we'll sort this out for you, no worries: https://www.mighty-boards.com/replacements
Keep in mind that the replacement process usually takes more time to fulfil than a regular order, because it involves many steps - from identification of the replacement component/s, to uploading and processing each order manually, it requires a longer period until you receive your part/s; however, we constantly process all pending replacement requests on a weekly basis and our partners ship them out as soon as feasible.
Be informed that should you submit a replacement form during this period, and because holidays are in-between, the shipping of your replacement order might occur after Christmas, possibly during the first days of January.
We wish you plenty of good games, a lovely time with family and friends and we hope to see you all in 2025 for some more Mighty adventures! Happy Holidays!
Your games are on the way!

Hello everyone!
The whole team is now back in the office after an amazing (and exhausting) Essen SPIEL! It was so lovely to meet some of you there!
Your games are on the way!
US / Canada:
The games did arrive at the warehouse while we were at SPIEL. After finalizing the backer list, Whalebacker started packing the games last week. They have started sending out the single item packages last Thursday and will continue with the rest right after! If you have a last minute address update, you will be able to redirect your package via your tracking.
Pallets for Canada are being prepped and trucked to Pick & Pack right now. Transport should take a week and fulfillment will start as soon as the games arrive.
Europe / UK:
EU fulfillment started last Friday, so European backers can expect tracking information by the end of this week / start of next. Shipment to the UK was sent from Europe. Once they arrive in the UK, GamesQuest will tell us when they start fulfilling the games.
Australia / NZ:
The games have arrived. Aetherworks let us know they will start fulfillment on October 31st. We are trying to get them to start earlier.
Asia:
The games have arrived. VFI Asia told us they will start fulfilling the games in 7 to 20 days. We are trying to get them to start earlier as well.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us here or on Discord.
Looking forward to seeing Hamlet on your tables! If you like the game, we'd really love to hear what you think about the game on social media, or you can post photos and rate the game on BoardGameGeek!
Your Mighty Boards team.
Shipping news and SPIEL

Hello everyone!
Here are the latest details on where things stand for the fulfillment of Hamlet by the Lake across different regions. There have been a few logistical delays, but we’re getting very close to delivery!
Shipping update
US / Canada Originally, the ship arrived at LAX august 25th and the freight was supposed to have already arrived at our fulfillment center in Saginaw. However, due to significant trucking congestion across the US, we’ve been informed that the shipment is now expected to arrive between the 25th and 30th of September. As a result, we’re currently anticipating delivery to backers around the first week of October.
Europe Good news for our European backers! The freight shipment has successfully reached the Hamburg port in Germany and is currently en route to our main fulfillment center in Poland. It is set to arrive by September 25th, and deliveries will start immediately after it reaches the warehouse.
UK For our UK backers, GamesQuest will be handling fulfillment. The games need to first arrive at our main warehouse in Poland before being sent over to the UK. We have not received an exact ETA on the start of UK fulfillment, but it will commence within the first 2 weeks of October.
Australia & New Zealand Our Australian fulfillment partner Aetherworks, has already received the freight shipment! They are now in the process of sorting and labeling packages, and deliveries will begin shortly thereafter. Expect your games to arrive soon!
Asia The shipment has arrived, and we are finalizing the shipment info. Once that’s done, we will receive an ETA from our fulfillment partners.
The games are almost there! We truly appreciate your continued support and patience as we navigate these last logistical steps. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us. We can’t wait for you to play!
Essen SPIEL
The entire Mighty Boards team will be at SPIEL this year, demoing our new games and meeting some of you in person. If you're attending, make sure to swing by booth 3-L311 and say hello!
While we're in Essen, we’ll have limited access to our support channels and Discord. We’ll still do our best to respond to urgent issues, but please expect some delays in our usual response times. Rest assured, we’ll be back online and fully available after SPIEL ends.
Thanks for your understanding, and we’re looking forward to seeing some of you at the booth!

Lovely backers, here's a quick shipping update for Hamlet: By the Lake!
The games are almost here
Great news! You should all start receiving your games in September!
The ship to Europe is estimated to arrive on September 6th. From there, the games will be sent to the warehouse and fulfillment will start shortly after.
The ship to the US will arrive at the end of this week. The games will need to clear customs and be trucked to the warehouse. We estimate fulfillment will begin in 2 weeks!
The games have just arrived at our warehouse in Asia. We are waiting for confirmation of the fulfillment center to begin.
We are currently still awaiting an ETA for Australia/NZ.
Important: If there are any address changes, tell us now.
To ensure that you receive your game, please make sure all your information is correct. We will be locking the fulfillment list at the end of this week, so this is your last chance to let us know about any address changes. You can send an email to support at mighty-boards dot com.
Hamlet: By the Lake (and more!) at SPIEL
We will be at SPIEL this year (booth 3-L311)! Rebirth will be a SPIEL release and even Hamlet: By the Lake, Art Society and Fateforge: Chronicles of Kaan will be available to try and buy! Will you help us get these games to the top of the SPIEL Preview list on BGG? All you need to do is thumb our games on this page.

Your Mighty Boards team.
This is Hamlet By the Lake (This update is image heavy).
6 months ago
– Mon, Jul 22, 2024 at 01:16:12 PM
Hamlet By The Lake (and Hamlet Deluxe Edition) is ready,
This is what it looks like.
Cute box no?
This is what it looks like with all the items from it, packed into the base game box (yes, everything fits).
Sneaky feet peeping in.
This is the new 3D Church. It's chonky.
This is the new solo player aid.
These are the cards.
Don't worry, you didn't buy the wrong game...
They have linen finish. It's nice.
I promise this is not that game...
Here's a bag of fish tokens.
The bag has a nice canvas texture, look.
This is the KS Exclusive menu board.
It's reversible!
And here it is with the cards on it.
No seriously, this is Hamlet, not that game...
There's wooden fish(es)...
...and lone sailing boats.
This is the upgrade pack for the original backers. Lots of goodies in that bag.
There's the classic numbered Founder's Edition Sticker too!
You will get this soon.
The ship to Europe is booked and will leave this week. It's stated to arrive in Hamburg in very early September.
The ship to the North America is still awaiting final confirmation on departure date. But that shipment will be faster, since it does not have to go the long way round.
Aus/Asia is also being planned, but that will be faster than NA one.
Updates on the above as soon as we have them.
A couple of small notes.
The founders sticker will not come stickered to the box this time. We thought since many of you will move all components to the base game box (it's designed to fit there), perhaps you would want to have that sticker in the base game box too. So feel free to stick it where you like.
The KS exclusive menu board is designed to fit into the main game box, it does not fit assembled in the expansion box. We wanted to keep the box slim to keep the price low, and the design was optimised for shipping. Freight and shipping is super expensive now, we don't want anyone to have to pay for shipping air. There's its proper good spot in the base game box. Let it find its home there.
