Probable price all inclusive of game and S&H:

US$50 anywhere in the USA or Canada
US$55 rest of world

We have about a dozen copies "ordered" so far.

Is this like a typical P500, where you're charged when it goes to print, or will we be paying up front?

Not entirely determined.

Ultimately the promise is that should I send John sufficient funds he'll send me 100 games. If we get 100+ "I'm in!" posts on the thread I'll ask for money to setup the order, much like I'm doing for the second time with foreign Wabash Cannonball orders. I'm not going to do anything until there are 100+ people on the list -- only then I'll place the send-me-money request. Once I've received enough money I'll place the order with Winsome Games, or if enough orders don't come in despite all the promises on the forum, I'll return the money.

I'm in, sign me up.

Count me in. I'd like to see what all the fuss is about.

Count me in

So would it be a straight reprint with production like in the photo here?

I am expecting a straight reprint, just minus the crayons. You'll have to supply your own crayons or, even better, wet erase pens.

Could you use cubes in place of the crayons, as in TrainSport?

Very hypothetically, but it would require a lot of cubes because the number of track pieces that a given company will build over the course of the game is a huge X factor.

I second the suggestion to just buy wet erase markers. I bought a set and use them for all of my Winsome games that were supplied with crayons.

If you want plastic crayons, you can easily get them at any art supply store.

I'm in. Any chance I could also get Chicago Express as well to save on shipping?

Thanks for doing this JC.

I'm in too. Would love Wabash Cannonball as well!

Already posted in the other thread, but I'll post that I'm interested here as well since I'm not sure where I'm supposed to post to get in on the p100.

Like Chad, I'll also cross-post here and say that I'm on board for 2-3 copies...the game is very good, and I want to help the reprint out. I'm sure the game cons I go to will benefit from having Pampas on the prize table

While I'd love to, I've ~10 paid orders for Wabash Cannonball right now and am hoping to hit or even pass 15 before the weekend. I don't have anything like the 100 I-WANT-ONE posts for Pampas Railroads to open the order line.

I hope to ship Wabash by the end of next week. Pampas Railroads is going to take longer.



Welcome.

Given that you're inside the US you'll be better off ordering Wabash Cannonball directly from John than through me. I'll just charge you extra shipping....

I'm tracking them both...

Is this going to cause another Wallace/Bohrer feud where one's releasing a game without the other's consent?

I don't know but I hope not.

Sorry, wasn't trying to be a downer. This is something I'd be interested in, but I just worry with the current state of affairs between the two that a reprint might not happen even if enough BGG users sign on for it...

Do not worry about it. Back in 1996 Martin Wallace suggested his Consortium Bidding mechanism to me, so I created an entire game to use the idea. After two games (Ferrocarriles Pampas & Veld Spoorweg), I saw that Consortium Bidding did not work, but I did not want to waste all my design work! So, I created a follow-on game, Prairie Railroads, that used only my base game design and some more development work to spiff it up. Martin had nothing to do with Prairie Railroads, Pampas Railroads or Veld Railroads; I left his name on it as he needed publicity back then. He was happy to get the credit, it helped his rep as a game designer.

If the reprint happens, it will be a straight reprint, no need to change anything in the game.

I'm in for a copy.

Count me in too.

So, out of curiosity, why is there a middleman in this process? Once >= 100 people are found, why can't John just print the game out and then mail it directly?

Given that you are acting as a middleman, why can't you get a discount price for a bulk order? This is what game stores essentially do.

I'm in.


Thanks!
