Preorder price for Slay the Spire was $100 w/free shipping (at mini mart, gamenerdz, and cardhaus), and was available until about two weeks before release. List price is $115. I doubt that there will be a reprint at that price point, due to the high number of art sleeves in the game. You get a lot for your money at $100. There will probably be a reprint. They will likely kick up the price as well. Speculation on my part.
With the current price there isn’t much upward mobility on a reprint so unless it happens a couple years from now, I doubt the price will rise much if at all.
Im surprised there was no mention of Fromage, as a demo at GenCon. Crowdfunded endnof last year/early this year. Should be actually delivering this fall. Worker placement, making cheese!
Arcs is not as inaccessible as the other Leder campaigns - at least for base game. It is pretty straightforward honestly. 10/10 for me so far, but I can imagine why some people (not saying you) would be turned off by the competitiveness, player interaction and the big swings that can upend your plans
Windmill Valley is the only Gen Con release that I'm keenly anticipating. SETI is on my radar but I think that will be more of a Spiel release. Same with Daitoshi (Dani Garcia and Devir). 3 Ring Circus was one of my favourite games from last year. Great solo mode by Turczi and wonderful production from Devir.
The one game I expect to gen from Gen Con is Rolling Realms Redux, but it was already available before Gen Con. There are others that I'm interested in but they are either demo-only or so new that I expect the convention premium to be too high. I expect to get more games in November when they are more available.
14:27 "I'm 100% Dutch". I like that. I'm too, and still living in the Netherlands. Can you still speak Dutch? Did you notice 2 of the mills on the cover of Windmill Valley have their blades wrong? Dutch windmills all turn their blades counter clockwise, due to the material they are made of (massive oak wood). If they would turn clockwise, these oak beams will break as matchsticks. I'm not attending GenCon, but will be 3 days at Essen SPIEL, Germany.
Hard to look forward with Druid City Games when some of us are still looking back and waiting on Tidal Blades 2 and a lot of the road blocks that have come up for them around that project. Hoping that is all handled soon.
I'm glad someone else finally said something. Tidal Blades 2 keeps getting delay after delay, and you get verbally dogpiled if you say anything slightly negative on their Discord.
Your photos of Arcs are not even the final version. If setting expectations then you’ll want to use out up to date photos, as the game has changed significantly, especially the board. 👍🏻
I know a ton of people like StS, but I'm with you. $5 on Steam versus $100+. I hear so many people saying "Well, my wife and I played it for a 1,000 hours a piece and this lets us play it together." I guess that's worth it to you and your wife? For me, I'm waiting til StS 2 comes out and goes on sale for $5.

I got it for $100 too from MM but I live in Japan so another $40 delivery…

James has been forthcoming with the mistakes and the latest updates give me the confidence that it will deliver soon.
@@arcaderunner2188 October is the earliest it will deliver if nothing else goes wrong. James should never have taken this large project on by himself.
Windmill Valley is a good medium weight we just tried it last night

Clank! Rules. You can give the Catacombs 👍. I have the original. Where is expansion of Vale of Eternity, Res Arcana, & Lord of Rings- 7 Wonders?
Evacuation is not so difficult, you can do it .
$108 wow
Sometimes it’s great to get games at Gen Con because you get games promos and sometimes they throw in expansions.

The lesson is you should make less children, and then there will be less presents :)
Extinctionist are we.
There are two things I really dislike on youtube and twitch. 1) The term merch and 2) Stupid over expression thumbnails. I'm out.
