That seems cheap. 

Probably ought to buy 2 copies and hold 'til it's back out of print and then sell again for $400 each

I guarantee some people will do that and sell for higher.  Seen it before with some others.

Designer game speculation is a thing, albeit a pretty small one.

I'm tempted to buy this for absolutely no good reason.

Would like to get into a gaming group but haven't found much around. 
Insert witty comment here.

And....it's already gone. Should have listened to Brant and made a buck or two. It's now listed as available from 'Other Sellers' at around $160US.

CSI still has it in stock. $139.99.  I found it too fiddly for my tastes when I tried it.  I prefer Descent.

Meeplemart in Canada has it in stock for $132.95 CDN which is about $100 USD.

Yes, but as an almost true wargamer I'm not certain I can bring myself to order from something called Meeplemart.  :hide:

Yeah, not the best name but they're actually one of the best places north of the border for minis stuff and wargames.

It does look like too much to deal with for me.  For how enticing the game mechanics appear to me, which I'm rather apathetic about.  Seeing the tactical gameplay just didn't spark my interest.  Not with so many other games out there these days.

The game is a PIA to set up and break down. Seriously thinking about dumping mine for those reasons (and it takes up a lot of table space)

I'd love a copy of this, but as I've still not bothered to learn Sword & Sorcery, I can't justify it.
