What happened to the Samurai board game?

By GoblynByte, in Support

My son and I played the board game Samurai at GenCon 2015 and, at the time, the demo guy said the game was expected to release in November 2015. If I recall, they weren't even available to buy at the convention. So we figured we'd just buy one when it was released. But the game seemed to just vanish from the website in every fashion notable. Product page. Forums. News. The few links I can find lead to non-existent pages.

So what happened?

It went into print at some point because we snagged one on Amazon. But it is rarely available at cover price. But it seems to be just vapor now.
