Tragedy Looper anyone?

If you meant to say five thousand copies at a time then you would be right.

We printed a more than usual number for this game despite it not buzzing in the beginning - but then the buzz took off, especially after a fantastic showing at Gen Con and we are indeed sold out. A reprint is in the works. And we are looking at the expansions.

Does that mean no games available at Essen, or only for demos?

Excellent news.

Well, hopefully they get back in stock soon. It took me almost a year to get hold of a copy of Robinson Crusoe after I first decided I wanted it.

Good question. I _think_ we reserved some for Essen and/or a reprint might be ready in time for Essen. Unsure but I was told that we would have some. Note, that could change but that is the latest info I got.

Thanks for that answer. I may ask again in 2 or 3 weeks time

No need to ask - I got confirmation we will have copies for sale at Essen.

Thanks!

Hey Jur:

you should make sure to introduce yourself to me at Essen - I know you have been by the booth many times but I don't think I ever met you. And if I did I apologize and I do not remember your real persona vs your avatar.

Hi Zev,

Many thanks for the invitation, I'll make a point of saying hi although I know you'll be a busy man. I don't think we ever spoke, so don't worry. And even if we had, there's too many faces, names and avatars and too little time.
