In the wake of the controversy involving the announced releases of reprints of Merchant of Venus by both Stronghold Games and Fantasy Flight Games, word is now getting around that several other publishers are also in the mix. What a mess this is going to be!

If you have word of other publishers who are announcing MoV releases, please add them...

Damnit, I was going to do this one.

A prostitution-based retheme where you privately sell rights... ok, maybe that's a little too soon.

Two areas on the board are to be called "Via Gra" (a major roadway between two cities) and "Sea Alice" (a nearby body of water).

The game's playability will unfortunately suffer when players need to roll a 35 or higher on 1d6+1d8+1d20 in order to move.

I understand a local company is soon to release an expansion for this game.

This is despite the fact they do not have the rights.

Its to be called "Le Havre Not".

Merchants & Wagers

The Economic Space Trading Game for People Who Don't How to Sell Stuff!

Not a merchant or space buff? It doesn’t matter! Each player writes a guess to a question such as “What is the minimum numbers of Earth years that planning charts and demolition orders have to displayed before a superior alien race can demolish a solar system?” or “How long, in parsecs, is the Kessel Run?” and places it face-up on the betting mat. Think you know the answer? Bet on your guess. Think your opponent HAL is the expert on this one? Bet on its guess. Or is it the Brownshirt across the table? Bet on his instead! The closest answer pays out according to the odds on the betting mat. Strike it big and you’ll be cheering like you just won your first game of Tri-Dimensional Chess! It can be taught in 2 minutes, played in 25 minutes, and accommodates up to 20 people in teams.

Plus, it comes with free marker replacements for life!!!!
