Is there something wrong with ordering it online? Remember you get the free Queso card if you order it from Plaid Hat. And a must order is the premium board.

Well actually there are no more Quesos. They are all out. But yes, the premium board is a must have.

There is nothing wrong with ordering online. The benefit of ordering it in store is that there is a chance the store orders enough to put on the shelf. One demo and the game sells itself. The more units sell, the faster we get expansions.

I may have missed this, but does anyone know if the faction packs (Vangaurds/Fallen Kingdom) have gotten to resellers yet? I know coolstuff still has it listed as preorder, but I thought it was or had already shipped out.

[GreyOwl]

I don't know about resellers, but I know they've shipped because I got mine a couple of weeks ago. But I ordered directly from Plaid Hat Games.

Malevolence



Ruling from the ruins of Shell Castle on the Isle of Maenos, the witch known only as Malevolence is queen over nothing. There she broods, desiring wealth and fame, and angry that she has neither after selling her soul for a weapon of unwholesome origin. She will gladly offer her services to any Summoner who can afford her exorbitant fee, and who can stomach her need for constant flattery.

Expansion Deck Review

Not that anyone who has played the Starter set will need convincing, but Tom Vassal has posted a nice little review of the Premium board along with the two new Faction decks.

Holleas



There are those among the Phoenix Elves who mutter that it was Holleas who was meant to hold a Summoning Stone – not Elien. Holleas is but one of a handful of individuals across Itharia with a natural penchant for summoning – most rely on a stone for their power. Ever since she was a small Elfling, so many hundreds of years ago, Holleas found she had an affinity for communicating with and calling the Fire Beasts held in the Phoenix Elves stables. She can bring the creatures directly to herself, no need for the bulky walls of the Summoners.

Simply awesome!!!

Just an FYI for anyone coming to TotalCon in Massachusettes in February...there will be a Summoner Wars tournament each day (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) as well as Learn To Plays...so if you have been sitting on the fence on this game (although I cant see why you would be) you cancome try it out there.

My son and I take turns playing as Fallen Kingdom. FK is undefeated so far but I think I am getting close to a win with the Vanguards. Rolling 2 ones and a two and then one two and two ones the next turn sure didn't help my last game.

[HSisforcoolkids]

Finally purchased Fallen Kingdom and the Vanguards and played last night. As always my wife and I had a close game--one life left for Ret-Talus as I took out Sera. This is definitely my favorite game, and is vying for the #2 spot on my list of things I like to do with the Mrs.
