Do you mean the story on the RGG page? I noticed some Shakespeare in it.

I didn't know it was done already.

No, but we are going to edit Anakin into the cover of Dominion. It's what we always intended, we just didn't have the technology at the time. And those spears? Walkie-talkies.

Does Hasbro finally have their shit together, or will the English version of Empires be printed in Europe?

Or printed in the US by Cartamundi, at least.

Will the playtesters be allowed to preview cards against like last time? :)
My plan is to have 5 other people preview a card each, like last time. Last time they were not all playtesters and I don't know about this time yet.
Do you know which cards you will use for previews? I remember in the Adventures previews, you mentioned that 4 per day was still an acceptable percentage due to the "58 new things" introduced in Adventures.

Seriously though: Star Wars is spreading like a desease in the board game world since Disney got their hands on it. I have seen Star Wars Monopoly and Star Wars Pachisi, but also Star Wars Risk, Star Wars Catan, Star Wars Labyrinth, and even Star Wars Carcassonne. I'm not sure there is Star Wars Clue - probably still in the works. Edit: Also in existance: Star Wars Life, Star Wars Operation, Star Wars Guess Who?, Star Wars Trivial Pursuit DVD and Star Wars Stratego...

So, my question: Have you ever been approached/was it ever a consideration to do a licensed Dominion edition? I'm not talking about the japanese manga thing, because that doesn't use characters from another product (as far as i know). I'm thinking more about Disney/Spongebob/Star Wars Dominion, where cards are functionally the same but names and look have been changed.

I'm not even saying this makes sense or is a good idea (except possibly from a publisher's point of view), but i'm curious.

I have a huge collection of Disney artwork, and can mock up some "Disneyfied" versions of existing cards.

I'd pay to have the original art for Apprentice on a real promo version of the card.  ;D

Donald, feel free to ignore this question, and sorry if you have to, but how far is Empires from the famous "Treasure Chest" expansion which has been so long hypothesized?

I have more of the feeling that we are entering a "Treasure Chest state" in general, where the strict "No" against reusing older stuff has crumbled. Adventures made the start, Empires follows suit. Curious whether that means that in a few more years we'll see "Dominion - Sorcery" featuring new Potion cards ;)

Hasbro sold that printing plant to Cartamundi, and we switched to them. So, Hasbro is no longer relevant here. We are waiting to see a test printing from Cartamundi, to decide if we're printing in Germany (which would delay the set due to shipping) or not.

It's up to Altenburger and that's what they picked. Probably they just wanted to release at Spiel, in Essen, which is in October.

Yes, I turned down Star Wars Dominion a while back, and just today by coincidence, someone without the license asked if they could do it (if you guys see this post before getting an email: sorry, no).

My research at the time suggested that Star Wars Operation, for example, sold on the strength of Operation, not Star Wars; Operation sold better. The license is expensive; what you are doing is paying Star Wars to promote your game, rather than cashing in on lust for Star Wars.

I did the math on a Treasure Chest long ago and nothing has changed there. If Empires were a Treasure Chest, we would have advertised it as one.

RIN is the accented syllable, pronounced REEN of course.

I hope "cards" includes events and landmarks here.
