Hello, Dwellers of Eldervale!
Woo!! Thank you for the amazing pre-order action - and if you chose to wait for retail sales to start in your region - either way good news!
Current 4th (English) Printing Timelines
NOW - EU/UK+ Retail Sales Are Happening!
We have FINALLY started receiving reports of retail action in the EU/UK+ region in the past week+. As always, make sure to check in with your local, physical stores. Many local retailers do not want to be bothered with online sales.
Friday, September 27th, 1pm Eastern - Breaking Games Online Pre-Order CLOSED
Pre-order fulfillment has started. We will have all packages shipped before we open direct sales at BreakingGames.com. Pre-order FAQ link here - email hello@breakinggames.com if your question is not answered there. We will update that webpage as we are able.
Breaking Games will ship all pre-orders FIRST, then will open direct sales of any remaining inventory. Direct sales will include the Frost Giant and Mother of Dragons order items for First/Edition Standard and Deluxe owners still looking for these items.
End of October - Approximate Start of US/Canadian Retail Sales
Our shipment did not just quickly pass thru the port and freight over to our warehouse with the greatest of ease. But, it’s still coming!
Game Mats
Unfortunately, Breaking Games will not have more game mats to sell via BreakingGames.com at this time. We plan to have more when the next printing of Second Edition order items AFTER this one becomes available. If we have game mats available for purchase sooner, we will announce that via the Dwellings of Eldervale newsletter at least a week in advance of adding those to BreakingGames.com.French Version
Salut! We have sent files to our French language partner and they have begun work! Each partner publisher is fully responsible for retail distribution of their language version of Dwellings of Eldervale. We do not have a stated timeline on when the French Edition will be available for purchase. It will be next year at the earliest. Keep an eye out!
5th (English) Printing to Follow 4th
Quick repeat from our last newsletter, we are still working towards keeping Dwellings of Eldervale more steadily available at retail. Due to the 4th printing delays, the 5th printing has been waiting. We plan to get that under way this year. It will be more of all the same Second Edition order items - with possible the appearance of some new order times!
Oh! Who could these characters be? Just snippets of new art by Sasa Radivojevic!
Dire Wolf, Thief, Elemental Shards, Castles
We showed off the above art snippets in the last newsletter, but they are too good to limit to just one! We are in the home stretch of file prep, 3D modeling is in progress for the two new Mercenaries, Elemental Shards, and Castles. Current plan is to include them with the 5th printing if we can get their print files all dialed in and approved in time. We will have more to share as we get closer to releasing these fun game play adds!
How Many Plays Have You?
We recently received a request for a replacement set of Magic cards. The problem could be addiction! Jacob tells us he has played Dwellings of Eldervale at least 70 times. Below, in the photo taken by Jacob, you can see the level of wear and tear all this fun had on Jacob’s deck of Dwellings of Eldervale Magic cards.Jacob told us, “My favorite part [of playing Dwellings of Eldervale] is discovering unique interactions during the game. I will always do a cool and interesting play if I see one on the board, such as dwelling twice on the same regroup. I’ve stayed up late multiple nights reading forum posts by Luke Laurie; discussing rules and specific interactions in the game.”
