SUMMONER WARS - Premium Board Pre-Orders

The Premium board is ready to go to print. This board comes in two halves that combine to make one 2-player board. The board is mounted on reinforced 2.5mm chipboard. Each half of the board quad-folds, creating a compact foot print for storage and portability. The premium board is only available through PlaidHatGames.com. The board can be pre-ordered HERE

While the board is ready to go, we are delayed in putting it into production until we can build the funds necessary to do so. We are prepared to have the board go into production in 3 months time, it would then ship out to customers from our warehouse in Georgia approximately 2 months after that (September 2010).

So why are we putting up pre-orders for a board that may still be 5 months away? Because we believe that our customers are chomping at the bit to get their hands on this board, and together we can make that happen. We will be keeping track of how many pre-orders have come in at THIS POST in the Summoner Wars community forums. Once we have hit 400 boards pre-ordered we will immediately put the board into print, and it will arrive here in the states, ready to ship out to pre-order customers, 2 months later.

So the more pre-orders we get, the faster we can get this board out to you. Again keep an eye out HERE for how quickly the pre-orders are coming in. Bottom line, the latest the board will be here is September 2010, but we believe with your pre-orders that date will be significantly sooner.

NEW FACTION DECKS - AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
NEW BLOOD, OLD BONES She is only sixteen years of age, yet this maiden wielding the ancient Stone of the Dane strides across the battlefield like a goddess of old. Grown men gladly sell their lives to protect her, the love in their eyes dangerously akin to religious awe. But her eyes are tired and worn for one so young - they are the eyes of innocence lost, the eyes of one who must stare into pits of undying malice. She is Sera Eldwyn: prodigy, general, Grandmaster of the Vanguards... And now the youngest summoner in Itharia´s history must turn the tide against its most ancient and terrible of foes. He is Ret-Talus, the Rotten King, a decayed thing over two thousand years old, and one of the most intelligent creatures ever to exist. The day will come when these two summoners must face each other, and one shall be the other´s undoing.
THE BATTLE RAGES ON This expansion introduces two exciting new factions to the game. Will you take up arms as the righteous humans of the Vanguards, using protection and healing magic to stand firm upon the battlefield in defense of the downtrodden? Or will you lead the undead hordes of the Fallen Kingdom, making any fiendish sacrifice necessary, as you wield the dark necrotic arts in pursuit of the subjugation of the world? These two new Faction Decks for Summoner Wars: The Fallen Kingdom and The Vanguards, will become available in June of 2010. You can Pre-Order now, and be the among the first to recieve these new Factions. Each of these Faction Decks includes everything needed to play a completely new Summoner Wars Faction. Summoner Wars Faction Decks are not a stand alone games. They are intended for use with a Summoner Wars Starter Set.
