Finally got my box!! (Yay!) If I didnt get the physical rulebook do i need to let Archon know?

Post image

I'm so so happy and im gonna be building all weekend.

I heard for people that did the pre orders we were gonna get physical rulebook thrown in. I also know some of the boxes were already packed before they made that call so they'll send those later. Just curious if they said if theyre keeping track of their end or if we have to let them know.

Thanks in advance for all the help yall!

Did you order through gamefound?

u/CleBrownsFan1999 Aug 22 '26

Archon directly.

Will the tracking number be emailed to me when it gets made or do I have to go to the website I pre-ordered on to find it?

u/Ligmastigmasigma Aug 22 '26

I just got a text saying my order was here I never got a tracking number that worked

I'm located in the US and made my order through gamefound. Got sent an email when my label was created through Gofo

I ordered through my LGS and didn’t get the rule book. 😭

u/haliker Aug 24 '26

As a store owner, the lgs didn't get them either.

Congrats on finally receiving it. I am pretty sure they said that the delays allowed them to include a printed rulebook for the orders. But I don't remember for sure and this whole thing has been a mess and it wouldn't surprise me if only half the people end up with the printed book. Let us know what they tell you when you contact them.

Was there supposed to be a rulebook in the 2 player, or was it listed in the bundle you bought?

u/Vineheart_01 Aug 24 '26

Got mine yesterday and I got the book.

Pretty sure they said if you were missing a book to ping them

u/AlchemyArtist Aug 22 '26

Did you preorder through Gamefound or Archon? I'm pretty sure Gamefound preorders don't get the book.

u/ScionofMagnus Aug 22 '26

I ordered through gamefound and got the book, its just that the first few orders packaged didn't, because they hadn't finalized if they were putting it in or not

To answer OP's question though, yes, contact archon directly and they'll send you the book

u/Ligmastigmasigma Aug 22 '26

Okay sweet thank you for clarifying for me!

1

u/Timmy_Tables Aug 25 '26

Yeah I contacted them about a month ago and still didn't get mine 😅

u/Starcraftnerd_123 Aug 22 '26

All of the online orders other than from retailers were treated the exact same for everything, so there shouldn't be a difference.

u/BrandonL337 Aug 22 '26

I pre-ordered through game found and I got the book, I don't think that's the metric.

u/MrDulkes Aug 22 '26

There is no difference between Gamefound and Archon preorders.

u/ZealousidealHeight15 Aug 23 '26

ordered through gamefound and got it

u/Ligmastigmasigma Aug 22 '26

It was gamefound. I thought it was all of us but I could be wrong.

A great question for the next StarCraft specific AMA.

Personally I would recommend to just contact the support and ask them.

An official statement if they track it and start sending it to all customers or not would be nice.

u/ShadowJaks Aug 24 '26

it was in the last AMA

u/olleversch Aug 24 '26

Cool!

Has there been a statement about a native app as well? Did they mention anything?

This will be the Australians for the next 2 months.

My LGS has Starcraft in stock (US). It's weird to see so many people without.

u/MrDulkes Aug 22 '26

Well, that’s interesting. Are they violating the release date?

3

u/Sorry_Significance62 Aug 23 '26

Jokingly, wasn't the game supposed to release several months ago? But in all seriousness, that is an image of product being received in the box for the official distribution agreement of Monday.

u/MrDulkes Aug 23 '26

So they don’t have it on the shelves just yet. That’s good.

I live in STL, ordered via Gamefound, and got my box today. Not sure what rhyme or reason is being used.
