Glory to Rome Reprint Update

Time to highlight a comment left on a March 2010 news item about French publisher Iello releasing a new version of Glory to Rome – here’s what Wakefield Carter, new commercial director for Cambridge Games Factory and brother of owner Ed Carter, had to say in response:

Glory to Rome needs playing card decks which take a few months to produce, especially as we weren’t happy with the company we used last time around and so are looking for a new printer.

and

Iello is not publishing a version of Glory to Rome. Our understanding is that the game in question may share some of the same mechanics, but that is true of many games, and we wish Carl Chudyk the best of luck with the project.

As I noted in the original news item, “Iello rep Patrice says that the publisher is working on a new version of the game with a different title ... and will address the presence of somewhat more imbalanced cards in the most recent version of the game to increase the strategic potential of game play.”

Carter also noted on BoardGameGeek that CGF’s version of Zombie in My Pocket should be available again “in a few weeks” as the company needs only to print rulebooks in order to assemble the games.

These games have been updated on Gone Cardboard.
