Q: Have you or will you consider producing a online version of Ticket to Ride for XBox Live? It seems like a great fit and a way to spread awareness of the Days of Wonder line.

Ask Days of Wonder: Lore of Yore?

Q: With all the recent announcements about Memoir ‘44 and its Air Pack, does this mean you are abandoning Battlelore? (Kidding!) Seriously, any chance you would release a Medieval Lore deck, with only the Lore cards described in the 100 Years War expansion. They could also have the Lore Costs all printed 3 more than the usual costs. That would make it easier to switch back and forth between “regular” Battlelore and Medieval Battlelore.

Ask Days of Wonder: Old Favorites

Q: How are your older (non-TTR) games such as Mystery of the Abbey and Pirate’s Cove doing? Do you expect to keep them in print for a while?

Ask Days of Wonder: Online Play = Offline Pay?

Q: How do you think the online gaming community affects the selling or reception of your products?

A: The online community is a big influence on how products are received. The web makes it easy for information to flow quickly and sites like BGG, BGN, and even the various gaming podcasts really do a great job of getting the word out on new games, not just to the devoted gamers, but to more casual players as well.

Ask Days of Wonder: A Meatier Memoir?

Q: Is Memoir ‘44 losing ground, now that BattleLore and C&C Ancients are available and thought to be superior by many gamers? Do you have any plans to add advanced rules or more complexity to the M44 rules?

Ask Days of Wonder: Next on the Agenda?

Q: What is the next big box (or small box) standalone game coming from Days of Wonder? Should we expect anything before Christmas?

A: I am afraid I am going to have to stick to our “No Comment” policy regarding unannounced titles.

Q: Do you plan to make extra sets of BattleLore dice (not replacements for bad dice) available for purchase?
