Please note that customs tariffs, taxes or import duties on arrival at the destination country are the sole responsibility of the customer (with exception to US, see US Tariff section below).
All our products are zero-rated for tax for non-US international orders. For those in the European union, and in Brazil you may be contacted by customs for processing of your item.
US Tariffs
Parcels destined to the United States will have import Tariffs calculated, collected and paid at checkout. This means your order will be posted with Import Tariffs pre-paid. This is exclusive to US orders.

Processing Timeframes
All our items that state are in stock, are physically in stock in our warehouse in Brisbane. We do not drop ship, or indicate we have items that we don't have physical stock of.
Processing time frames are as follows:
- Board Games and accessories are Next Business Day.
- 3DLevelup branded items are typically posted 1-3 Business Days.
For 3DLevelup branded items, whilst we have the items in stock, we need to often assemble, sort, quality check and pack your items which can take time. Sometimes our quality check prior to shipment will require us to re-print a small part.
If you have purchased a Pre-Order item (stated in the item name), our processing time is typically 5-10 business days as we need to print your order.
Business Hours
Our business operates Monday to Friday but we try and answer questions from the online chat outside business hours if able to do so. We understand many of our customers are in a very different time zone to us. Shipping drop offs and pickups are also Monday to Saturday.
Delivery Timeframes
For domestic shipping Australia Post typically delivers within 5 business days. We often see deliveries in Brisbane locations take 2 business days.
For international orders it is typically 9-26 days but we have seen this extend out to 35 days to some countries.
Shipment Tracking
Shipment will always have a tracking number for you to be able to check status. You will receive an email with a link to our website where you can view tracking information once your order has been placed. We recommend you also provide your mobile for SMS or an reliable email account for shipping update notifications when you place your order.
If you lose your tracking number or do not see it, please contact us and we can provide. We are with you on the journey and more than happy to assist with shipping enquiries.

Description:
The Queen’s Dilemma is a standalone sequel to the award-winning competitive narrative legacy game The King’s Dilemma. Take on the role of Council members deciding the fate of the Kingdom of Ankist over a brand new campaign, with improved legacy mechanisms making the experience more immersive than ever!
The Queen’s Dilemma is a competitive narrative legacy game where you shape the fate of the Kingdom of Ankist across a web of branching storylines. Play as one of six unique nobles, govern your lands, and navigate moral and political conflicts defined by clashing ideologies. Your choices will define not just the kingdom’s destiny, but your own.
- Branching narrative: Shape a unique story through your Council’s choices.
- Play your own character: Choose from six nobles, each with personal goals and secret storylines.
- Evolving legacy system: Past decisions leave lasting marks on future events.
- New political paradigms: Balance ideologies like Tradition vs Progress and Order vs Liberty.
- Territory management: Expand, construct, and govern your lands.
- Mystery boxes: Unlock secret legacy content that transforms the campaign.
In a game of The Queen’s Dilemma, players face a sequence of unique Dilemma cards, each bearing an important decision for the Council to make. There are always two ways to answer the question posed by the Dilemma card and resolve it. Over tense voting sessions, players will decide which direction to take by investing their Power to push for their desired outcome, exchanging Resources to bribe other players and bring them on their side, and make deals to push their Agenda forward.
Players will have conflicting interests: where one might advocate for progress, the other might favor defending traditions to keep them intact. Depending on the Council’s choice after each vote, the balance between the realm’s various political and moral ideologies will change. At the end of each game (representing a calendar year), players will earn points based on how much the kingdom is akin to their ownpolitical and philosophical beliefs.
Once a Dilemma card is resolved, it is permanently discarded. Your decisions, though, will often result in the opening of Envelopes that add new Dilemma cards to the deck, unlocking new events that will happen in the future as a consequence of your decisions. Forge your own path through a labyrinth of branching storylines and decide the fate of the kingdom of Ankist!
