Missing Games & Game Parts
Before contacting us, please read the below and follow the instructions for each scenario. If you email us regarding any of these three issues, we will unfortunately not be able to respond directly to your email or message.
​
We do our very best to make sure that the games you order from us, either via the website or via Kickstarter get to you on time, complete, and with great customer service. Sometimes, mistakes happen and, for whatever reason, we don't get this right.
Please read the FAQ based on common queries we receive at the bottom of the page.
​
Missing Game - Kickstarter
90% of requests for missing Kickstarter games are due to the pledge manager.
We use a “pledge manager” to collect your details, such as your shipping address as well as any additional games you requested.
If you backed a game on Kickstarter, please log in to your pledge manager to double-check you completed this step.
Pledge Manager Links: http://my.pledgemanager.com/
If you didn’t previously complete this step please click on the button below and submit a missing game form.
Please note: there will be an additional £5 admin charge to process any late pledges.
Missing Game - Website Order
If you ordered through the website, and your order has not arrived within 28 days, or has arrived incomplete, please click on the button below and submit a missing game form.
​
If your order has arrived incomplete please check your emails - especially your spam folder - in case you have been sent 2 separate shipping notifications. If you have this means that your order has been split into 2 shipments.
​
Box Damage
Whilst we do our best to protect games in shipping, sometimes dents and dings can occur. It is unfortunately very expensive to produce and ship replacement boxes for games, especially when an empty box is more likely to become severely damaged in transit.
​
As such, we do not offer replacement boxes for our games.
We do, however, understand that the condition of the game box is important to some of our customers. We therefore offer a £5 refund to customers that have received significant box damage in shipping.
If your box has arrived with significant damage, please submit a photo to us at cs@alleycatgames.com with the subject line 'Damaged Box'. Please include your full name, and order or backer number.

Arborea Kickstarter Edition
​
​Missing sage cubes and insert issue.
​
Unfortunately, the Kickstarter edition gave out one less wooden piece per player (for the expansion) which affects 1 in 20 games played. Also, the free stretch goal inserts were printed the wrong way round.
​
For the latest information on solutions to these issues please read the most recent Kickstarter updates HERE.
​
Please do not request the above in the missing pieces form as they will be ignored - sorry about that.
Barbecubes & Tinderblox:
​
Need replacement tweezers for Barbecubes or Tinderblox?
We know that accidents can happen or things may be lost. That's why copies of Barbecubes, and recent printings of Tinderblox, come with a spare set of tweezers - which should be enough to keep you stacking and balancing for quite some time!
​
But if you do find yourself needing a replacement pair of tweezers you can now order them direct from our webstore HERE.
​
Before placing your order please read the product page for further details and instructions.
Calimala Deluxe Edition:​
​
​Misprinted Intrigue action tile and insert issue.
​
Unfortunately there is a misprint on 1 of the 4 Intrigue Action Tiles - the tile with the Emperor / Banking icons should in fact have Emperor / Artwork icons instead.
Also, 3 of the insert segments were miscut due to a mass production error.
We will be producing a fix pack to correct both errors, and will provide further information once we have it.
​​
For the latest information on these issues please read from Kickstarter update no.28 onwards HERE.
​
Please do not request the above in the missing pieces form as they will be ignored - sorry about that.

FAQs:
What do I do if I notice a spelling mistake or typing error in my game?
Human errors like these do occur from time to time and unfortunately, we do not have replacements for typing errors that may have occurred when producing the game cards or rulebooks. We are always learning from our mistakes and look to continue to remove issues such as these from future projects.
​
I have purchased a base edition of the game, how can I get the deluxe components?
Where deluxe components are part of a separate box or pack we will sell these via our website where stock is available. If components are part of a deluxe game box edition it is unlikely these will be available online, although they may be available at conventions in the future should spares remain.
Does this game contain promo cards?
​
Unless​ stated games purchased do not contain Kickstarter promo cards by default. Promos are generally produced as part of Kickstarter campaigns and in limited supply. Games sold outside the original Kickstarter campaign will likely not contain these bonus additions. If you would like to purchase these promo cards separately, when stock is permitting we make them available via our web store.
Can I replace a component that has been lost or damaged since purchase?
Yes! We are happy to send you replacement parts so you can fully enjoy our games, even if you have lost or damaged the parts yourself, or purchased the game second hand.
This will depend on the stock of replacement parts that we have available so cannot guarantee that we can fulfil your request.
In this instance, we ask you to cover the postage costs of the item we would be sending out.
For the UK the cost ranges from £1-4, for other destinations it ranges from £3-10.
