The consumption of fossil fuel and releasing of greenhouse gases yield the global warming. Around the north pole, the last icebergs are melting and the polar bears are facing the risk of being extinct. The players form a scientific organization. They try to collect data about climate change to persuade the governments to change their energy policy. At the same time, they also need to prevent polar bears from sinking into the freezing water.

Ok folks! We have been using another platform for post-campaign surveys recently but have decided to go to BackerKit for this project and there was a bit of a learning curve to getting it set up. Sorry for the delay! The good news is surveys are going out today. We have rolled out the survey to about 50 of you just in case there are any problems and will roll it out to everyone tonight. Pay attention to the add-ons in the survey, we are offering some of our other games at special pricing! There are also a very limited number of extra bear-meeple sets available, we made a few of those and we won't be making them ever again. Any future print runs of the game will include the plastic meeples with the mustache bear that got so many mixed reactions from our backers. Anyway, get your surveys filled out so we can send you your rewards without delay.
If any of you don't get your backerkit email within 24 hours please just go to the backerkit survey HERE.
The game is in production and we will post some photos/video of the production process soon. You can check the current status of production any time at this link. We keep that spreadsheet up-to-date so all our backers can know where things stand whenever you'd like, without having to wait for an update.
The latest on production is that the game IS in production and the factory anticipates the game being finished by mid/late June at the latest. We are shooting for June 20. That would put the game to our non-US shipping partner the following week so non-USA backers should have their shipment mailed out in June. USA backers will have to wait a few extra weeks for the game to get to the USA via boat, so we are sorry to say the US fulfillment will be a few weeks late. Bad news we know but hopefully the wait will be worth it.
The big hold up was in the meeples, those resin meeples just take a while to hand paint and production was delayed a bit as a result.
This has been a wonderful and successful Kickstarter and we couldn't have done it without all of you!
The files for the game are at the factory and we will keep you updated as production progresses!
We are excited about this game and know you are all excited too! Thanks, again, to each and every one of you!
The "Ice Dice" Stretch goal was unlocked! We saw in the comments that a lot of you were really excited! Now this print run of Rescue Polar Bears: Data & Temperature will have unique "Fire & Ice Dice!" No other editions of this game will have these dice.
We want to thank you all for helping get the word out there about Rescue Polar Bears! We'd really love it if you'd keep at it! There are less than 24 hours left to go! Please share the campaign link on Twitter and Facebook, if you haven't already. Tell everyone about this adorable Polar Bear game!!
Polar bears like to dance when we unlock stretch goals (lol)!
When we launched this Kickstarter, the only rulebook we had to share with you was the original English translation. We told you then that we were working on cleaning up the translation to be more concise for an English-speaking audience. We also promised we would post that rulebook when we have it complete, and as promised that rulebook is complete!
You can download that rulebook here!
