Update #17 - Fulfillment Complete! Webstore Open!
8 days ago – Sat, May 30, 2026 at 03:40:20 PM

Excellent News Everyone!

Mana Mania has completed fulfillment! This is momentous, and not a day before that June deadline. Everyone should have their copies, but please notify us @ [email protected] if you have not yet received your rewards.

The Print-N-Play Kits

Speaking of rewards, you may have noticed some funny business with the Print-N-Play kits in your inbox. We initially released the PNP kits with the rest of the rewards, but backer Kyle Miller reached out to express dissatisfaction with the state of the files. We agreed. There were several mistakes we overlooked, as well as features that should've been included from the beginning.

That's why we remade and re-released the files earlier this month. We apologize for the confusion, and hope you'll find the newest releases to your liking. A huge thank you to Kyle for assistance with the revision.

What's Next for Diceratops Games?

Post-campaigns are always so emotional - we just hate to see you go! Good thing we're up to plenty in the background.

If you're reading this and missed the campaign, we've now opened the Diceratops Games Webstore! You can purchase Mana Mania for delivery anywhere in the US, or pick up the Print-N-Play to DIY your own copy. Tell your friends!

If you're a retailer looking to stock Mana Mania, reach out to us by email at [email protected] for a quote. 

If you're wanting in on the ground floor for future releases, join the Diceratops Games Discord for playtest nights! We're in open development on our next release, so your input is needed now more than ever.

Thank you all again for your lovely support in this campaign.

Update #16 - In the Mail!
about 2 months ago – Tue, Apr 21, 2026 at 05:53:25 PM

The time and the hour is here. Mana Mania has left our humble abode and is on its way to yours!

We're ecstatic to have our work in your hands at last (in 3-4 business days). In the meantime, check your emails for the distributions of all digital rewards!

To wrap things up in a nice little bow while we celebrate, feel free to rep any of the icons in the distributed Social Media Suite, or post photos of your delivery! You can tag our socials on @diceratopsgames Instagram or Twitter to share the love.

We'll be working back end in the coming months to establish permanent presences in some form of webstore, but feel free to join in testing on the Diceratops Discord! We've got more projects in the works.

Thanks again!

Update #15 - Games have Arrived! Distribution Soon
2 months ago – Mon, Mar 30, 2026 at 05:18:48 PM

Be sure to check your email for any notifications! We'd hate to have your copy end up in the wrong hands.

Update #14 - Production Finished! Stuck for the New Year
3 months ago – Fri, Feb 27, 2026 at 04:44:08 PM

Good news! Mana Mania has been manufactured.

Bad news! The game is stuck overseas.

His name is Juan.

Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get on the water before Chinese New Year. (Happy Year of the Horse, btw.) Ultimately we're still ahead of schedule and in a good shape. Our manufacturer tells us to expect movement in late March or early April.

While we wait for the Far East to neigh the holiday away, why not join us for some playtest nights? The Diceratops Discord is testing new games every Friday at 7:00pm CDT, so drop by to have some fun and get a sneak peak on the development cycle. Other devs are welcome to showcase too!

We appreciate your patience as we continue working on the campaign.

Update #13 - New Year, Production Copies!
5 months ago – Mon, Jan 12, 2026 at 05:19:13 PM

Happy New Years from Diceratops Games!

We closed out 2025 quietly after the hubbub of the Mana Mania campaign last fall, but we've not stopped working since! We're happy to show off the latest development: Our production copies have arrived!

It's surreal to be holding the (semi)final product, but it just means we're getting closer to having the whole lot to worry about! Only a few minor changes to the artwork were warranted and we're itching to get some games in. With any luck, we'll avoid major delays in with the complete run.
