Update #32: Good News and Bad New

Posted on January 17

First the bad news: the games won't ship before the Chinese New Year. Which means they won't be here by the end of February. I'll not give a new date until they're actually ready to ship. They tell me it's very close, but most of the country is taking off starting on Thursday. I apologize, but it is what it is. No one will be happier than me to get this thing in stock, get it out to you and then start selling some!

The good news is that the first production copy arrived. Below are pictures of the unboxing. We put it on the table and played a game of the SE US map.

For those in the Houston area that want to play the game before it arrives, stop by Owlcon at Rice University, the last weekend in January.

      It looks GORGEOUS! You deserve to be quite proud.
      I can't wait for my own [and] to play.

      Can you provide the ruleset in PDF format so I can "study up" and prepare?

      I would be very happy to have my copy in time to play it at the Gathering of Friends. Hey Kevin N., can you bring it to me and save APE some shipping? :)
