Cutthroat Caverns Release News

For those of you patiently waiting for Cutthroat Caverns, especially those who pre-ordered the game and its new expansions this August at Gencon, we’ve had some recent, disappointing news. Two separate, unforeseeable issues have arisen that have delayed the release. We can’t apologize more for the delay (honestly, it is just killing us not to have them for you) but please know that we will ship your games the very moment they hit the warehouse. Our hope is to have them before the Holidays and we will post updates on our website as we know more. Thank you so much for your understanding and patience. If anyone has questions please contact me at covertc@smirkanddagger.com.

NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS-

The newest releases in the Cutthroat Caverns line, Relics and Ruin and Tombs and Tomes, received extremely enthusiastic support when we debuted our hand cut sample games at Gencon. We booked most of our events solid (or over capacity) and at the conclusion one night as they wrapped the game, each table came over to shake our hands to tell us how impressed they were by all the new mechanics and creatures.

Add to that our sensational finals tourney in our booth. We figured out a way to squeeze 7 people in for the finals round (using standard playing cards for Initiative cards). This was no ordinary game of Cutthroat either, as we introduced the first Tournament Adventure Module. As you may know, Tombs and Tomes comes with two RPG style adventure books that add a whole new dimension to play. Well, Relics and Ruins has no Adventure packed in its box, but we created a special Gencon 08 adventure book just for the finals event --- and it was DEADLY!!!!! Only two of the seven original players lived – and only just barely, with Brian Cummings claiming the title. His prize? A set of real leather bracers from the artisans at Elvenforge.com, the very ones pictured in our Relic Card, Vampiric Bracers! We will be posting this Gencon special adventure module on our site for download, once the actual games come off press. Look for more to come --- and if you create an awesome adventure of your own, share it with us and we may post it on our site for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks all – and stay tuned for more news!
