Just looking at Awaken Realms latest Update 37 photos from the factory makes it clear (to me anyway) that producing a game is not an easy task. I say, “hats off” to Awaken Realms for working through all the significant issues with production and manufacturing to already be at this point with their Epic game ISS Vanguard:
Pallets stacked with ISS Vanguard paper components:

Cardboard Sheets of tokens and standees:

Pallets of Spiral Bound Planetopedia books:


Pallets of glossy card stock that will make the Secret Envelopes:

Game Boards for the Planetopedia book:

Card Stock Boards / Trays for Each Section:

Card Stock Lander Boards / Trays

Bins of Plastic Components

Alien Armies Lined Up Ready To March Out (reminds me of the scene of the huge Dalek army in Doctor Who)

More Trays full of miniatures

I think all the producer’s have the same problem.
So “hat’s off” to all of them. They “fight”, almost every day, with pandemic crisis, worldwide economic problems, us (because some of us have crazy demand’s).
