Agricola has been printed and will ship from the printer during the week of June 21st. Once you factor in a shipping time of at least three weeks, the preorders should start to ship from the Z-Man warehouse before the end of July. Distributor orders will be fulfilled once all the preorders have shipped. Customs is always a wild card in terms of possible delays – “They held Pandemic for three weeks,” says Zev – as are typhoons and kraken, so don’t clear a spot on the game shelf just yet.
据信7月前预订订单会发货,海关是个变数。还得继续等待阿。
其他游戏都是跳票消息。看来老美的生产环节是个问题,中美转运?
Tom Lehmann’s Middle Kingdom had issues with the box, so the printer is reworking it. All of the other materials are complete, so the game is now due the final week of July.
Ideology, Second Edition and the third printing of Pandemic should ship from the printer the week of June 21st for yet another mid-to-late July delivery. Chinatown, although coming from a different printer, is on the same timeline. Traders of Carthage and Shadow Hunters also now bear a July release date.
Genji, Wasabi!, Neuroshima Hex! and Tales of the Arabian Nights will most likely have to be moved to a new printer. As such the first three games now have an unknown release date until a new print shop is found for them. Zev says that Tales of the Arabian Nights should still be out at Gen Con, although the plastic figures previously mentioned will likely be stand-up figures along the lines of those used in Prophecy.
Due to the delays in other titles, issues with getting art completed, and so on, Arena and Monster Liner will likely be released in 2009.
