Happy L5R Release Day!

By Matrim, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game

I hope all your L5R card dreams come true! Unless you play me in which case I hope you draw really bad combinations that just dont work.

We wish you a merry card draw.

We wish you a merry card draw.

We wish you a merry card draw.

And a lot of honor.

And even better my initial three cores just arrived at my workplace. (Getting another from a different store to 'hint' that they should run tournaments and show players are interested plus 4 cores will slightly reduce proxy count)

My local shop isn't getting them until til tomorrow at the eat. Ugh. Silly that it's irritating me, since I can't do anything with the cards tonight anyway, but still.

Given how much the shop owner dislikes dealing with Alliance (FFG's exclusive distributor), I wasn't sure he would support the game. I can't really blame him. Alliance sucks

I wish you all good luck! Let the games begin!

And it’s already sold out with restock timeline unknown.

You are lucky, I live in Chile, and the game arrive early november u_u

We had a fantastic launch party at our local store. People who didn't know anything about l5r had a game with our spare decks, loved it and bought in.

You can play online already, from the safety of your home.... where no one can see you cry and yell when you draw a bad hand or make s bad play....

If you'd like, I can list the online locations for you. ☝?

Thanks but I have TTS and I know about mahois.fun xP, but is not the same, to the virtual experience I mean.

Any way, is a great day for you, and rose a new game with this great setting!

Same here. It's disappointing.

And the stupid thing is stores 60 minutes away got copies.

Good fortune and plenty of fun to all of you my fellow players.

Yep. Alliance hosed our shop -- earlier in the week he confirmed with Alliance that they were shipping for Thursday arrival. Thursday comes and they "just didn't get them shipped". Other stores in the area are getting shorted on their orders after confirming the numbers.

I have it, 2 core sets in my hands! Want to open it so bad but i am currently at work, aaaaaaarrgl !! ...

So, Alliance really screwed up our local store's order. The core sets won't be here until at least Monday.

Maybe Asmodee buying FFG was good for them in some ways, but the switch to using Alliance as an exclusive distributor was a terrible decision. I know several game store owners who have stooped carrying FFG products since the switch, due to horrible treatment by Alliance. If I still had my own game shop, I'd have a hard time carrying stuff, too.

wandered into the release party on an unrelated matter, and watched 42 Core Sets sold in one hour. Pretty wild. I'm sure I'll get sucked in shortly lol.

Sadly my fellow players my store is waiting to pick them up from the distributor. I have to wait just a little bit longer LOL.

My store got screwed. Didn't get them in the 5th. Didn't get them yesterday. UPS still has the delivery in the same place they did Thursday.

UPS doesn't deliver on weekends. Monday is Columbus Day, so the store owner doesn't know if they'll be delivered then.

Had to cancel the release event.

Thanks Asmodee. You've done a great job making sure my store doesn't run events in the future.

They're not fans of looking stupid.

Went to the launch event at my FLGS and it was nice to see so many people showing interest in the game.

Having played the CCG from Imperial until 2003, it was great to go back to Rokugan. I had high hopes, but wasn't sure I'd love the new iteration as much as the original. Turns out I like this version better, same feel with fresh and updated mechanics. The only negative I can come up with is how long a game takes, but I know that will improve drastically as everyone gets the rules and flow of the game down.

Couldn't have asked for a better launch imho

Success! I received my set by mail today. A happy smile has formed :)
