Help us create reproductions of the classic Steve Jackson Games Pocket Box titles of the eighties.
Latest Updates from Our Project:
Car Wars Expansion Set 2 and Expansion Set 7 Tooling Samples
over 4 years ago

Two more tooling samples knocked out and approved! Thank you to Jason (at GPI) and Sabrina (at our office) for keeping these moving forward.
The best news of all? We should see the last of the scanned items/tooling samples before the end of this month. Once those are approved, the entire project can officially move into manufacturing. (Some items are already in final production -- the plastic boxes, the dice -- but the project doesn't officially shift from the tooling stage to the manufacturing stage until all tooling samples are approved.)
Rough Delivery Estimate: This is not 100% certain and hinges on several variables. At the moment, we're looking at possible delivery of all items to our fulfillment warehouse in the second half of November. This could change; we will keep you updated.

Car Wars Expansion Set 2, and there are definitely die-cut counters included in this package.
Car Wars Expansion Set 7, including another storage box sticker for those of you who ordered empty Pocket Boxes.
Car Wars Expansion Sets 3, 4, and 8 Tooling Samples

To make this as clear as possible, we are behind schedule. The tooling work should have been completed in June, and it's now August and we are still reviewing and approving factory scans. All of us, from the factory to the SJGames office, did not properly adjust our expectations to take into account the difference between scanning five or six test titles and 30+ finished works. We're running behind schedule . . . but look at the results!!!
Sabrina and I have a call with Jason later today and we will be running through the checklist to determine what remains. Once we finalize the last of the tooling samples, then we will move into final production and have an estimated completion date for the project.
Thank you for your support and patience as we tackle this over-sized and complicated project.

Sabrina is reviewing another wave of tooling samples, this time for two Car Wars expansions as well as one GURPS Autoduel expansion. Every single completed and approved tooling sample moves us closer to shifting into the final manufacturing stage of the project, so please wish us and the factory luck as the scanning and processing continues!

Car Wars Arena Book and Pocket Box Dice

We are back from a very successful Gen Con! We had some new releases (including metal dice!), and if you missed the show, please watch www.warehouse23.com for a chance at our latest games and game accessories. Thank you for your patience as our team was out for the con.
The two dice that are packed inside each Pocket Box game.
Now that we're back, it is time to continue reviewing the factory tooling samples and moving forward with the project. We've got the dice, the factory is starting to produce the boxes, but we still have more scans to review and approve. We're working through things, but we're still behind schedule.
Car Wars Arena Book tooling sample. This looks great!
We will be back just as soon as possible with more pics as the project keeps moving!

Convoy Tooling Sample

Another tooling sample has arrived, this time the Convoy expansion for Car Wars and Truck Stop. The copy is so clean that I didn't want to touch it; gotta get some gloves in here.
NOTE: Our team is out of the office for the first week of August (and likely some time after that), so we won't be reviewing more tooling samples until after Gen Con is over. To get a look at what we reveal at Gen Con, please be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
