EXPEDITION LEADERS EXPANSION

[Shirygibraan10]

Will the expansion be available on BGA ? and if yes when can we play it ?

Plus 1 to this request.

I emailed the publisher. It is not likely that we will get it this year.

As far as I know, the expansion has already been developed on BGA. But I guess that doesent mean that the publisher has given the "green light"? Or how does it work?

Probably what you are referring to is that there has been some playtesting of the expansion on BGA before its physical release. This doesn't mean that the expansion is developed (it isn't, the needs of playtesting are not the same as those of a finished game, and the developer expressed that it would probably be better to start over from scratch), or that the publisher has licensed the expansion (we don't have a decision from the publisher about this at the moment).

It only means that if you buy a box of the Leaders expansion and read the credits at the end of the game rulebook, you'll find a thank you note from the designers about BGA and we are really happy about it

Ah, thanks alot for the clarification, it makes great sense! I didn´t knew publishers could use BGA for prototype testing, but that must be an amazing way to test games and expansions fast.
I just got upstairs to get the Expedition Leaders box from the shelve, and now see the BGA thank you note in the credits. That´s so cool, congratulations! (I guess you are somehow involved in this process )
