There is this mythical game called D-Day Dice (second edition). After a hugely succesful Kickstarter campaign, the company had problems with planning and production, combined with some very bad luck. Over a year after it should have been delivered to backers, it has still not arrived. But, the second coming is close as always.
So what better time to start selling the first expansions than now. One will be available on BoardGameGeek, the other one (Patriots & Smugglers) can be bought at the publisher's website: Word Forge Games. It will also be available at Essen Spiel, end of this week.
The 15 card set includes two Legendary Units: the Patriots and the Smugglers, as well as a special card for D-Day Dice Pocket. First print run is 500. You won't be able to play with it, because it kind of needs the base game. And this is a pre-order, so it won't be sent yet either.
Still, just 499 copies left.
I know...they are scheduled for release at the end of the month after the majority of backers got their pledge...we didn't want to upset anyone, by releasing them before the game became available. No one wants '15 cards they can't play with'. ;)
But now I don't have those 15 cards yet :D
You can now!!!
Hi Mark, thanks for visiting. It is perfectly understandable to have those extra cards available at shows like Essen this week. It's good business and publicity, but unfortunate timing.
I am still very much looking forward to the hugely expanded second edition of D-Day Dice and I am sure we'll cover it in the "Table Presence" section of this website. Just as we did with Pocket Landship which I can almost see coming now when I look out the window.
Complaints should be expected though when a project takes so long to fulfill.
Note this is a preorder set for delivery at the end of November. Which is scheduled to be after KS fulfilment is complete.
