Quote NOTE TO FIRST EDITION PANDEMIC OWNERS: If your cards are gloss with no linen finish then you have a first printing (Feb-April 2008). We are offering a trade in so that your cards will match the newer printings which have a linen finish. Starting today, you may send us a copy of your 1st printing Operation Expert role card and I will send you a complete set of Infection and Player cards with a linen finish. Don't worry about losing your OpEx card - we have revised this role in this expansion. Please send the card to the address in the contact us page. Make sure your address is legible. Please allow some time to process requests.

Hats off to Z-Man games thats some awesome customer support, the only cost to me was the stamps to send card to the US. They supplied the full set of replacement cards for free, I have a lot of respect for a company prepared to support their customers in this way in the middle of a global recession. Well Done Z-man games, I was already a fan of your work but know I can also recommend you on your excellent customer service/support. Thankyou.

For those waiting for "Pandemic: On the Brink" expansion, looks like the latest expected date is now September. Title: Re: Boardgame News Post by: Zarniwoop on 06 July 2010, 15:23:42 Latest Newsletter from Zman Games (http://www.zmangames.com/artwork/Newsletter_Issue%2019.pdf)
Title: Re: Boardgame News Post by: Zarniwoop on 11 July 2010, 00:12:04 Looks Like AEG (http://www.alderac.com/) and Fantasy Flight Games (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/) has stuck a deal regarding Dust Tactics along with a good portion of the Dust Games library which now is moving to a new home with Fantasy Flight Games (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/).

Title: Re: Boardgame News Post by: Dat on 17 September 2010, 22:20:45 Read a recent news story about a woman who played Smallworld online 22 hours a day and got her kids taken away from her along with a jail sentence for neglect. - I'm guessing Smallworld is addictive!
Title: Re: Boardgame News Post by: EvilGinger on 17 September 2010, 23:21:38 The on line version seems to be, in at least one reasonably reliably documented case, but the board game has a limited run time & cant be played solo quite so easily I think.
Still makes me want to try either version even more. >:DGinger Title: Re: Boardgame News Post by: Zarniwoop on 25 October 2010, 20:27:42 (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/Battlestar_Galactica/exodus/box-bsg-exodus-right.png) (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_npm_sec.asp?eidm=35&esem=1&epmi=s)Another expansion for Battlestar Galactica (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=18&enmi=Battlestar%20Galactica).

Posted: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:21:34 +0000 (http://blog.daysofwonder.com/wp-content/dow-uploads/2011/04/swu-avatar-blog.jpg)Welcome to the Underground! Small World Underground (http://www.daysofwonder.com/smallworld/en/underground/) is a new stand-alone game set beneath the surface of the same fun, light-hearted Small World universe of epic conquests and fallen empires. Designed by original Small World author, Philippe Keyaerts, it features all new Races and Special Powers, and introduces Monster occupied regions that protect Relics and Places of great power! Small World Underground includes all new subterranean maps featuring new terrain types and geographical challenges. (http://blog.daysofwonder.com/wp-content/dow-uploads/2011/04/swu-box-en.jpg) While Small World Underground is a complete game that can be played on its own, you can also combine the game with many Small World game elements from the original version or expansions. Experienced Small World players will find that venturing beneath the surface makes the game more tactical than ever! Small World Underground is for 2-5 players and will be available in Europe in June and in North America in July at a retail price of €45 or $50.
