Ask Fantasy Flight: Hopes for Doom Doomed

Q:Are there any plans to offer more scenarios or expansions for the Doom board game?

A: Not at this time.

Q: It’s nice to see hear of the expansions being announced for your various games, especially the ones with miniatures, but we have yet to hear anything about an expansion for Marvel Heroes—and that game would be perfect for more heroes and more villains! Any plans for an expansion?

A: Not as of yet. The fine folks at Nexus (our Italian partners who designed the game) haven’t brought anything to our attention yet, but there does seem to be a lot of folks who are interested in an expansion.

Q: Are there any other Silver Line games that will get a makeover in the coming months? So far you have done a great job with updating some of these older titles.

A: Well, we’ve got “Colossal Arena” coming up next month, and I am aware of a few more on the horizon, but nothing in the first few months of 2008.

Q: “Runebound: Fourth Big Box Expansion” has been listed on BGN’s Gone Cardboard for quite a while with a generic 2007 date on it. Is there anything happening on this front?

A: Runebound: The Frozen Wastes will be released near the end of the first quarter of 2008. —Jeremy Stomberg

Ask Fantasy Flight: Blue Over Blue Moon Bonuses

Q: Are there any plans of making available again the bonus spirit cards for Blue Moon? Some of them were hard to acquire the first time around. Also, are there any plans of printing the new bonus cards such as the fourth Buka boat?

Ask Fantasy Flight: Expansions, Expansions, Expansions!

Q: Is there anything in the works for a new TI3 expansion?

A: Not yet. We’re pretty heartened by the response to TI3: Shattered Empire, and people keep asking for more expansions to the game, so perhaps there might be something else down the road.

Ask Fantasy Flight: Boardgames? Who Needs ‘Em?

Q: How popular are your CCG & RPG games? Do you see a growing trend in the demand for these?

A: The A Game of Thrones World Championships at this year’s Gen Con was the largest field in years! There seem to be a lot of people that are just now discovering the game, and when the new novel in the series is published, I’m sure its popularity will only increase!

Ask Fantasy Flight: Thoughts on Theme

Q: Fantasy Flight is quite well known for games that are full of rich theme. Is a strong theme one of the main things you use to look for new games to publish? What other criteria do you use when you are selecting new games?

Ask Fantasy Flight: Retesting Playtesting

Q: People have said that Fantasy Flight has previously brought out games (Warcraft, Doom) without thoroughly playtesting them and have used expansions to fix the potential problems with the game. Do you think this is a fair or unjustified assessment?

Ask Fantasy Flight: How Do You Spell Success?

Q: What are the most successful games you have produced both financially and critically?

A: Financially, it has been World of Warcraft: the Board Game, while in terms of numbers sold, that honor goes to Citadels.
