New copies of Tannhauser, New Rules?

By cadium, in Tannhauser

I guess the subject line sums it up, will new copies of Tannhauser ship with the new rule book?

I don't think FFG has made an official announcement about that. It would seem to make sense that they would, although remember that FFG may still have a quantity of box sets from the last print run sitting in their warehouses and waiting to be ordered by stores. Meaning it could be a while - as long as a few years - before they need to make another print run and would then have the opportunity to put the new rulebooks in the box. Hopefully they'll mark new boxes somehow if they do this, since there's always the possibility that an old copy will collect dust on the local store shelves long after such an update has been made.

I read somewhere (I can't find it now) that future printings will include the new book and there will be a mark or sticker to denote that. Boxes already out there will have the old book.

I remember suggesting in another thread that FFG *should* put a sticker on boxes with the new rules. Are you thinking of that, or was there some kind of FFG news announcement about this?

I thought it was an update in one of the announcements for the game. I can't find it now, but really, I can rarely find anything I'm looking for, so that doesn't mean it's not there.

Nice. I'm definitely not sad to hear it, I was just wondering about the source since I had missed it myself.
