Is it coming out before Origins, then?

Well we're expecting it in the "spring," right? Origins is June so there you go. If it somehow hasn't come out by Origins then he might sync it up I guess. Anyway I don't know the release date and typically find out on BGG.

[Kirian]

I had just been assuming Origins.  Most "spring" releases have actually been "late spring" and it would seem to make sense that, if it's ready the last week of May, to just hold it until Origins...

[LastFootnote]

guilds just can't get here soon enough....or even a whiff of when we can partake of Donald's previews!

Since it isn't coming out at a particular show AFAIK, I won't know a precise release date until very close to it.

I have proofread the rulebook and card images for the last time, that is the extent of release date information that I have.

June 12 - June 16? That sounds like it's right around the release date. Companies like to release games at big game fairs. I don't have any info, but it seems likely to me that it'll come out at Origins.

So about 3 1/2 months to wait? Doesn't seem too bad. Remind me, how long before Cornucopia/DA did we start getting a) snippets of information and b) (official or unofficial) previews?

Looks like we started getting info for Cornucopia in late January. There's a thread dated Jan 25 on BGG that speculated what the 5 unique cards would be.

Remember, this is just you guys being pessimistic, there is no official date.

Well, we're well past that at this point.

I wouldn't call late June pessimistic. It's more or less within the window of late Spring. If I were being pessimistic, I'd say we wouldn't see it until August. The fact that Dark Ages came out pretty much exactly when RGG said it would cured me of my pessimism regarding Dominion release dates.

[Squidd]

What you should do, Donald, is give us just enough information to keep us occupied until we can have real information, without actually informing us of anything. Like, tell us how many times each of the Wheel-of-Fortune freebies (R L S T N E) appears in the rulebook. We can wildly speculate from that for weeks.

(I'd say give us ETAOIN SHRDLU, but then presumably Celestial Chameleon has full-text by Friday.)

[Davio]

Well, he could reveal just 1 card per week.

If it's 15 cards he would be finished by half June.

Would gladly except 1 card every 2 weeks though.

Well, it's not like they're going to just hold onto everything for a couple months for no reason.  They probably won't have a finished product until maybe a month before release - enough to get enough copies produced to meet initial demand.  So we'll probably see card previews when there are actually finished cards to preview.

The card images are finished, I've seen 'em all. After printing there's shipping, which can be hard to predict. So if I at some point learn a vague release date, it still wouldn't be solid until the pallets have shown up. And then it would be, to make sure some stores don't have an edge, here's the official release date, and then that's when I could squeeze in previews. For sure I won't do previews way in advance of the product being available.

Line everyone else I'm dying to see a card preview, but for its worth, that little taste of info is enough to keep me appetite wet! (Is it whet or wet?)

Actually, it's "whet one's appetite."

Actually, I believe it's "whetted".

Thou hast been ninja'd.

[Axxle]

Huh, I thought it was always wet, since you're drooling with anticipation. The more you know.

No, I posted well after you. My answer is just more pertinent.

[Kirian]

Even worse, you "whet your appetite, " but you "wet your whistle."

It is also common to get a whetstone wet.

The two words, of course, have no etymological relationship.

[clb]

Yes, your appetite is sharpened and you lips are moistened. Wouldn't seem to work too well the other way around.

[pingpongsam]

I dunno about ya'll's appetites but I'm simply wet with anticipation.

Now we just have to wait for the next Iso update for a sneak preview.

Did Dougz even program Guilds cards?

Yes. At one point it was revealed how much code it took to implement each set on isotropic, and Guilds was on the list.
