Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 20, 2012.

How to use the misprints

Update #39 · May 12, 2013 · 5 comments

There were some questions about how the misprints should be used. I have included two photos, these are the 8 cards that should be removed from the base game. Then just add in the 8 cards from the misprint package that you receive.

There will now be 3 city decks (yellow, orange, and red) with 40 cards each in them. The card names/types are mixed across each city so there isn't an exact number of each card type in them.

The domestic shipments have all been sent out. The international shipments will go out with our international shipping bundle which should be at the end of this week.

New project has launched!

The Name of the Wind

If you've ever read this amazing best seller by Patrick Rothfuss, then this is the project for you! And if you haven't, go read it and pledge anyway. You can thank us later :-)

Misprints have started to ship

We got the final versions of the misprinted cards in and they have already begun to ship domestically. The international orders will all begin shipping next week along with our White Rabbit project to help cut down on the high shipping costs.

When you get them, just swap out the cards in the pack with the extra 8 red interrupt cards  that were in the base game.

Reprints to ship soon

Update #37 · Apr 19, 2013 · 1 comment

We've heard back from the manufacturer that the cards are ready to ship to us next week so we hope to be sending those out to everyone within the next couple weeks.

This is actually the second time they have printed them, but the first batch had color correction issues that had to be addressed. We're looking forward to getting these out to everyone soon, thanks for your patience!

Synthesis

We're at the end of our cyberpunk themed deck campaign, Synthesis. If you like the old school cyberpunk genre like Blade Runner and Neuromancer, this might be right up your alley.

Card Corrections and clarifications

Update #35 · Mar 4, 2013 · 4 comments

Thanks to everyone that helped sort through the card list and post the differences between that list and what they received. That kind of help from the community is exactly the kind of thing that helps us keep from making those types of errors again.

We're waiting for Michael Fox and Mark Rivera to get their copies of the game so we can make sure we didn't miss anything, but I believe that these are the cards we will be sending to our manufacturer to print:

  • Troop Locations - London
  • Weapon Plans - Paris 
  • False Information – Paris
  • The Snitch – Paris
  • Off The Trail – Paris
  • Double Crossed – Paris
  • Long Arm of the Law - Paris
  • Extra Intelligence – Paris

These will replace the following cards:

  • Blueprints - Paris
  • The Assassin - Berlin
  • Double Crossed - Berlin
  • Extra Intelligence - Berlin
  • False Information - Berlin
  • Long Arm of the Law - Berlin
  • Not So Fast! - Berlin
  • Off the Trail - Berlin

To make sure we get the correct color matching for the backs of the cards, we have to do a completely separate print run of these eight cards to make sure they work with the existing cards. We're looking at spending 20-25% of the cost of the original print run to correct this so you can rest assured we won't be making this mistake again in the future!

I'll post updates here as we move through that process and it should be noted that every copy of the game has this issue as well as the ones on Amazon. Fortunately, we get reports of who has ordered the game so we can send the corrected cards to those that purchase the game there as well. 

Clarifications

At the last minute, we had changed the term "Tool" to "Spy Gear" in the rulebook and forgot to change this on the Agent cards that referenced this term. They are both interchangeable.

Have you played it?

We hope that after you've corrected the cards in the list above you've still been able to enjoy playing Ace of Spies. If you have, we'd love to see some more ratings on BGG.

If you were impressed with the quality of the game (design, artwork, components) we would encourage you to support Dragon Whisperer as well. We only have a couple of days left on it to hit a few more of the stretch goals!
