Which out-of-print games are about to be reprinted?
I'd like to list them here, specifying for each of them:
- Where is the official announcement of the reprint
- Information about the reprint (including differences from previous edition/s)
- The reprint release date
Also, if you add a game which is about to be reprinted in this list It would be nice if you update its entry when the reprint is actually published (or maybe canceled?), so that we can use the list as an effective "reprint monitor".

Reprint publisher: Cambridge Game Factory
This is a long waited reprint. The game is out-of-prince since 2008 and it is very difficult to find a copy.
You can get "fresh" information about the reprint in this topic.
Wakefield Carter, founder of Cambridge Game Factory, wrote about the reprint:
"Our priority right now is getting Glory to Rome and Zombie in my Pocket into shops as quickly as possible (we want to sell them as much as you want to buy them!). Unlike many games companies CGF prints / source game components as we need them from multiple suppliers and then assemble the games ourselves. We’ll be able to get you more exact dates shortly, but Zombie in my Pocket only needs additional rulebooks printed so will be back on the market in a few weeks while 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."

Reprint publisher: Filosofia
A reprint for this OOP boardgame is being discussed here. Rudiger Dorn, the author, revealed that:
"i hope goa will be republished in 2010 - by filosofia who did i good job with genoa. i want to take the chance to rework some things about goa, for example less luck in the exploration row by using dice(!!), changing two rows, so that muscat is not too useful, 1 or 2 new tiles and hopefully similar good materials as in genoa."

There are ongoing discussions related to a reprint of this nice game.
The author Serge Laget is discussing the topic in this thread of the Mare Nostrum section of the Autheurs des Jeux forum.
It seems that Fantasy Flight Games declined the game for a reprint and now a new publisher is checking it.

News about the reprint of this classic sci-fi wargame emerged in March 2010 in this forum topic. The 6th edition of Ogre seems to include also the G.E.V. "sequel". The new edition will be entirely made in cardboard and will use chipboards for the tokens.
This topic on the official SJG forum contains lots of information about the Ogre reprint.
