And the cards are oversized, 79 by 120 mm – which allows for a better view of that wonderful art, though also makes it difficult to find sleeves to protect that same art.<br /><br />I suspect that the inflated price at Amazon.com is due to the current rarity of the game: it's sold out at all the other American retailers that I use, which indicates that Asmodée US have underestimated how popular a game about looking at pretty pictures would be in a country (i.e. everywhere other than Germany) that typically prefers games about spaceships and/or killing things (such as their own <i>Claustrophobia</i>, the marketing of which seems to be their main interest as of late). Well, that and it's just how the designer game industry works that a game is printed and then only reprinted if it sells out, leaving a time in between when it's practically impossible to find online. They should be getting more in by January (as that's in my experience what the "December" that some retailers have as the restock date is tabletop game language for) and you'll be able to order it quite affordably from such shops as <a href="http://www.boardsandbits.com/product_info.php?products_id=21722" rel="nofollow">Boards & Bits</a> and <a href="http://www.superherogameland.com/product_p/asmdix01.htm" rel="nofollow">Superhero gameland</a> when they do. But whether one waits for that or imports it from Europe you're going to be unlikely to see it before the end of year unless one buys it from a local specialist shop that happens to still have some in stock, as I coincidentally did just earlier today.J.R.D.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07449581460363034306noreply@blogger.com
