• Asmodee has posted a page for Claustrophobia: De Profundis in English and French noting a mid-October 2011 release date due to effort of getting the painted miniatures to look the way they want them to.

• Want more Quarriors? WizKids wants you to want more, so the publisher is releasing a set of three "exclusive promotional cards" if you preorder the game by July 31 from "your local store". The announcement includes a link to a store locator on the WizKids site. (HT: DeckBuildingGames.com)

• In a post about the nominees for Costa Rican game of the year, designer Antoine Bauza mentions that he's working on the second expansion for 7 Wonders with a working title of "Armada".

• Designer Richard Launius has announced that he's working on a quest/equipment deck for Defenders of the Realm and gamers will be able to submit ideas for the expansion at some future date.

• Cryptozoic Entertainment has posted several card images for The Penny Arcade Game: Gamers vs. Evil, due out September 2011.

• Fantasy Flight Games has released English rules for both Rune Age (PDF) and Ventura (PDF).

• Designer Martin Wallace has said that "if all goes well" A Few Acres of Snow will start to ship from the UK on Wednesday, July 13, 2011.

• Steve Jackson Games notes that Munchkin Axe Cop is headed to print and previews both a card from the game and a mock-up of the game box. Note the "October 2011" print date on the box and you'll now when to expect the game on shelves.

• Flying Frog Productions has a page for Fortune & Glory: The Cliffhanger Game, with lots of character pics and a dozen wallpaper images. The game is due out September 2011.

Martin Wallace has actually revised his statement re: A Few Acres of Snow. It should go out on Friday, July 15, 2011 now... if all goes well.

Well... there's no such thing as a "local store" here that correctly handles the mystical promo items... I guess I'll forget about those three cards...

I'd gladly preorder from WizKids directly instead...

I guess all didn't go well.

Fingers crossed!

Sweet! I've been looking forward to that Claustrophobia expansion for a while, now I have to make more time to play the base game in the next few months.

I'm assuming those Quarriors promos will be at Gen Con as well?

I really hope for bonus Quarriors at Essen. The store locator doesn't seem to find my FLGS around the corner - which, considering it's one of the most awesome FLGS in all of Switzerland (seriously), is odd.

Too bad the Quarriors promo is brick and mortor only. The store near me does not take preorders.

From my experience, a store won't be listed on a publisher's directory unless the store contacts the publisher. A publisher doesn't want to take time to list every store in creation when some percentage of them don't carry the publisher's products, and typically publisher won't know which stores are carrying its games as the stores buy from distributors and not from the publishers directly, which is why the stores need to make the effort to be listed.

Which is interesting, because my FLGS is listed, but doesn't actually carry WizKids products, as he can't get them through his current distributor.

Now wondering what that would add. Now players can attack and also gain resources from any other player at the table, not just left and right?
