Going out of print? | Tales of the Arabian Nights

I've been holding off on getting this one for a while, but it is one I intend to pick up. I have noticed that stock seems to be getting very low - most online stores are out or only have 1 or 2 copies. I assume the the last print run is about depleted (Z-Man Games does not have it for direct order). Does anyone know if this one is likely to get another printing, or is now the time to grab one?

Considering Filosofia is still in the process of integrating the Z-Man line into their systems, it might be a little while before we know what games they will be able to fit into their reprint schedule and budget.

I wouldn't be surprised, it is kind of an odd game. I would understand a publisher being wary of this game selling well on a second print run.

The production value is great though, it's got beautiful cards and the board is nice. It would be great to see the value of existing copies go up.

Tales has, in fact, already had a second print run. I don't know how much of the second print run remains, nor when it will go into a third printing.

Looks like the third print has been scheduled and sold well enough to be a priority.

The game is quirky and more of an experience than a game, so it's understandable. Zev has said that he did this version out of a love for the concept and only hoped to be able to sell out the first print run without losing too much money on it. I don't think anyone was as pleasantly surprised when the second print run was needed, and there were only a few corrections that were made.

I spoke with Zev last year about the creation of more games similar to this one. He said it sold extremely well . . . so much so that he has been working personally on two more games. Who knows if they will ever see the light of day since this kind of game takes a huge amount of work. But the game was definitely a money winner for him.

Wow that is awesome. I wonder if they are going to follow very closely to Arabian Nights or do something a little different. Personally, I'm hoping for a little different. But hey, if it sells...
