Hello, Boss Monsters!
Thanks to your incredible support last year, Super Boss Monster launched this spring and has been on fire ever since. With great reviews and chart-topping sales, Boss Monster is back and badder than ever. Now we're looking to the future to create the next generation of Super Boss Monster ...and Boss Monster for a new generation!
That's right, Super Boss Monster 2 and Boss Monster Junior are now LIVE on Kickstarter!
These games will launch in October 2026, just in time for the holidays next year. But you can pre-order them now!
Winter is coming in Super Boss Monster 2, which introduces dice-powered rooms and spells! You'll roll dice to set values for different room effects, and adjust those values with other cards and effects. It's playable on its own, but you can combine it with Super Boss Monster for the ultimate super-powered experience!
This campaign also features an all-new all-ages game, Boss Monster Junior! In this fast-paced game, you'll build your dungeon, lure in heroes, scare them away, and take their treasure! With charming full-frame pixel art and streamlined gameplay, it's the perfect way to play with your monsters-in-training!
When you pledge for either or both of these new games, you'll get a fun Kickstarter bonus, an oversized coin that's perfect to use as your First Player Token!
We're thrilled that Super Boss Monster 2 is already funded and unlocking stretch goals. We're excited for this campaign to keep building the future of Boss Monster while spreading the word about this year's awesome new game. Thank you so much for your support, and please don't miss this awesome new campaign!

Hello, Boss Monsters! Fulfillment for this campaign has now been ongoing for approximately 2 months. We are happy to report that we are nearing the finish line! We still have some shipping underway around the world, so let's dive into the regional updates:
Fulfillment Update
United States, Mexico, Central America, and South America We received confirmation last week from fulfillment partners in all these regions that their final packages have departed. However, this does not confirm that fulfillment is complete, as some packages may take 2-3 weeks to deliver, depending on their destination.
Canada and Australia/New Zealand Fulfillment is complete! If you haven't received your package yet, please contact us at [email protected] or our Contact Form.
EU/UK We have received confirmation from Spiral Galaxy that the final package will depart on May 16th. They also mentioned that most of these packages will ship out this week. However, if any issues arise, please contact the Spiral Galaxy customer support team.
Asia and Rest of World While VFI has confirmed that shipments continue to go out, here is a breakdown of each hub they shipped to. Keep in mind, though, they will need a few additional days once the items arrive to process the order and ship them out.
If you are in the regions where we state that fulfillment is complete and you HAVE NOT received your pledge, please reach out to our support team using our Contact Form.

April 8 Fulfillment Update
12 months ago
– Tue, Apr 08, 2025 at 08:49:28 AM
Hello, Boss Monsters! It is officially April, which means more heroes will come out now that it is warm outside. We aren't worried, though. All of you are about to be slaying with power with Super Boss Monster!
We are excited to announce that shipping has begun in all regions! If you haven't received a shipping notification yet, don't worry. Shipping is expected to take another 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the region. Once you receive tracking, it may still take up to 72 hours for the number to update as it enters the shipping system. Please refrain from contacting our customer service team during this time period, as we won't be able to provide any updates beyond what you can see with your tracking.
For the most up to date information, you'll want to contact the fulfillment partner customer support team for your region. They will be the best point of contact for shipment and tracking concerns. Below is a list of contact information by region:
Lastly, note that if you’ve received only completed your Backerkit survey in the last few weeks, it’s likely your order will be shipped with the next batch of orders once this initial round of fulfillment is complete. But rest assured, we will get you your games!
Fulfillment Updates
United States, Central America, South America and Rest of World 🌐
QML has already plowed through a ton of orders, but is diligently working to dispatch the remaining 7,000! Don’t fret if you haven’t gotten a tracking email yet; you’ll get that only when your package is handed to the postal service. We are hopeful QML will finish all shipments this week, but it’s possible some fraction of shipping will stretch into early next week.
Canada 🇨🇦
Pick & Pack continues to ship all orders. We anticipate all orders will be out the door by April 16.
UK/EU 🌍
Address Confirmations are being sent on Friday to allow any last-minute changes by backers, and they are currently anticipating being underway with the dispatch in the next 1-2 weeks.
Asia 🌏
VFI continues to ship products. Note that VFI first ships to a distribution partner in each country, then to you, so Asian shipments could stretch out for a few weeks still.
Australia/New Zealand 🌏
VR Distribution has received the container for Super Boss Monster! Shipments will start later this week and will continue into next week.

Fulfillment Updates
United States 🇺🇸
Fantastic news! All five containers of Super Boss Monster have safely arrived at Quartermaster Logistics! Our dedicated team at QML is putting in great effort to prepare all these orders for shipping. While we can't give you an exact shipping date just yet, we believe shipping will begin within the next three weeks. As soon as we receive word of a start date, we’ll comment on this update and the main comments page!
Canada 🇨🇦
We're excited to share that the final pallet of Super Boss Monster is on its way to Canada! As soon as it arrives, we’ll kick off shipping right away. This week, we’re doing our best to expedite the shipments, so you can expect all orders to be fulfilled within 2 weeks after shipping begins. Watch for an address confirmation email if you haven’t received one yet. Just a friendly reminder that we’re still about 2-3 weeks out from starting the shipments!
UK/EU 🌍
The container ship is currently en route to the region and is expected to arrive at the port on April 2nd. Once it reaches port, we will provide you with more information. In the meantime, Spiral Galaxy has assembled all the other necessary items for shipping, including the add-ons and backer details. As soon as the items arrive, shipping should commence shortly thereafter.
Asia 🌏
The final container is on its way to our partners at VFI! While our last update mentioned that shipments might start in early March, we've realized we underestimated how long items travel over the waters. The good news is that we've confirmed that all the additional items needed to fulfill each order have been shipped, and once they arrive, VFI can begin fulfillment. They anticipate shipping to begin in 2-3 weeks, but it depends on when the container lands. We will post a comment in this update and on the main comments page when we know more!
Australia/New Zealand 🌏
VR is waiting for the final shipment to arrive, and they have stated that it should be arriving on March 30th! From there, they will unpack, process, and get ready for shipments. We anticipate that shipping will begin in 2-3 weeks, but we'll let you all know in the comments section when shipping begins!
Rest of World 🌐
These orders are being sent through our partners at QML alongside US orders. We will have additional information soon.
Shipping Address Updates
BRAZIL:
We require your CPF tax number for processing if your shipping address is in Brazil. Matt has emailed you from [email protected] to request this information, so please double-check that you have replied to him and received a response.

MEXICO:
We require your RFC tax number for processing if your shipping address is in Brazil.

If you need help or have any concerns, please email [email protected].
Super Boss Monster fulfillment begins soon!
about 1 year ago
– Thu, Feb 20, 2025 at 12:49:14 PM
Hello, backers! In our last update, we noted that all units are on their way to each fulfillment zone. Since then, we've been keeping tabs on each region to provide you with a shipping timeline!
We've also had a few questions asking about the tariffs. We've been taking a wait-and-see approach to the unfolding global trade situation as it has been changing quite often, but we've got a good sense of what we are facing now that the games are starting to arrive.
We'll start with the good news...
The Timeline:
The games will begin shipping soon!
US: The ship arrived at LA Port on February 18th. Unloading from the boat onto the truck and transit to our fulfillment partner at QML will take about 4 weeks. If all goes well, we expect fulfillment to start sometime in late March/early April.
Canada: Canada is following a similar timeline to the US. We expect shipping to start in early April.
Asia: The games have arrived at VFI and should begin shipping in early March.
EU/UK: The boat is estimated to arrive at the port on April 2nd. We will have more information once we get closer to that date.
Australia: The boat is estimated to arrive at the port on March 16th. We will have more information once the ship has landed!
The Tariffs:
We’ve received a lot of questions regarding how Brotherwise will handle the tariffs recently imposed by the Trump administration on goods imported from China. It has been a tough question to answer with finality because the situation is fluid and unpredictable. But now that we've paid our tariffs for this campaign, we can now say that Brotherwise has decided to absorb the extra costs for all games and accessories ordered for Super Boss Monster. Backers will NOT be asked to cover this unexpected cost.
Brotherwise is lucky. We’re successful enough that this inflated cost is a painful surprise, but not an existential one. For many of our smaller colleagues, this will not be the case. Even an extra 10% in product costs can play havoc with the delicate planning that goes into a crowdfunding campaign or a product release. If you’re backing other active campaigns, particularly from newer or smaller companies, we hope that you’ll be patient with them as they try to navigate this new, chaotic business environment.
For future campaigns, of course, even Brotherwise will have to play it by ear. Should tariffs climb even higher, we’ll need to reassess our business model. With no cost-effective options for games production inside the U.S., we may have little recourse but to raise prices in the future. Thanks for your support, and helping our business be in the position to weather this new trade environment.
The Soundtrack:
Hey, remember that really cool stretch goal we had during that campaign almost a year ago?
We created a super cool chiptune soundtrack to build your dungeons and slay heroes to! While you wait for your game to arrive, you can sit back, relax, and think of all the ways to build out your evil lair.
Shipping Address Updates
If you need to update your shipping address, please email [email protected], as all addresses are locked in the pledge manager. Please note that we cannot guarantee any address changes submitted after February 28th. However, if you submitted an address change to Matt before today, it has already been processed, and you're all set.
