According to Dale Yu at Boardgamenews:
"I predict that on Wednesday morning, it will be announced that FRED Distribution will have the distribution rights for Age of Steam. I have been told on good authority that Mr. Bohrer will have a press conference sometime Weds. morning here in Essen telling the public of this news. If it can be confirmed, I’m sure that our fearless leader, Eric Martin, will have a more official piece on this in the news section."

A big Essen for AoS then, with a preview of Steam expected too.

You know, if Through the Ages: A Story of Civilization, essentially a card game with some extra bits, retails for $70, what's the MSRP going to be for the reprint, $125?

Hopefully the components will be a lot better than Through the Ages, too.

So if Bohrer reprints this does Wallace get any money out of it?

Bohrer has said in the past that his intention was to reprint AoS as is and pay both himself and Wallace the same amount as the previous printings.

It still looks like it's going to get a major facelift. New art, upgraded components, it will be interesting to see what it will look like.

This is not a bad deal. While FRED doesn't have the largest or most thorough distribution network, they are plugged into both the American and European channels. It is a great step towards broad availability of the game.

I saw a mock up of the box at Essen. According to the picture on the back of the box it has plastic trains similar to the ones in Railroad Tycoon. I wasn't overly taken by the cover art, but this is hardly important.

From Board Game News this morning, http://www.boardgamenews.com/index.php/boardgamenews/comment....
Quote: The FRED edition of Age of Steam has been placed in a holding pattern for now. More word on that when the ground below clears.
Not sure what's up, but interesting. I'm pretty sure I'm going with the Mayfair version anyway.
