Release date for Carrock

By guciomir, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

Maelstrom games in UK say they've got it in on E-bay. I've just had a set off them. They've got 1 left.

Slight derail here, but for those of you that have picked up a copy, does the scenario seem complete with just the included quest/encounter cards?

I ask because (and I don't know for certain, not having seen the cards myself), it seems like FFG forgot to print "if the players complete this stage of the quest, they have won the game" on the quest card 2B.

There's a similar thread about this on BGG, but I figure I may as well ask here now that more and more people have gotten their hands on this, and by now people have had some opportunities to play through the quest. Thanks in advance!

Card 3B, "On the Trail," has such a phrase, but not on 2B.

There isn't a 3a/b in Carrock. So 2a/b finishes the game.

Amazon says Carrock will be released Aug. 30, but you can pre-order now.

I don't think I've ever seen a correct release date there.

*sigh* For the umpteenth time: Amazon is utterly clueless regarding release dates of games!

they were correct for HFG (and i got mine before a lot of people, to boot). :)

regardless, your point stands.

Still haven't seen Gollum yet... I hate you all.

fantasy flight website has it as being in stock now

Cool, ordered on Saturday! Did not see any dispatch confirmation so far, but let's hope it will show up in my inbox today! :)

Btw: Recieved my HFG from oggames.com TODAY! lol....

this is probably a total noob question, but i keep seeing the acronym FLGS and I have no clue what it stands for.

something something Game Store?

anyone care to fill me in?

FLGS = Friendly Local Gaming Store. The lifeblood of our habit..I mean hobby.

My FLGS has got my copy ready for pick-up :)

Have any actual shops in the UK got it in as yet? I mean physical stores not ebay or online only ones.

Waylands Forge in Birmingham haven't had it yet.

In Germany its not easier either (I'm talking about the German edition), it has been published but distribution seems few and sporadic. I couldnt get a copy via internet (amazon never offered the adventure packs and the big online stores went directly from pre-order to out of stock status) and my local store hasnt received any yet (and they dont know why and when). I had to travel to another city and had them to set aside one copy for me beforehand, so I got the last available one. Five days after official release all the few stores that got it seem to sold out on Carrock...

I guess we'll soon hear that the forces of Sauron are at work again against FFG. At least the adventure pack is now "officially" annouced as being on sale... only took them a week... even if it was GenCon, one would think they could update their website at a distance...
