Flavor text

Across the sea, they have so much stuff. And it’s so much better than your stuff. Finer craftsmanship. Better quality materials. Shinier. They have crowns, tiaras, and diadems – and that’s just the hats. It’s time to get some of that stuff. You want an easy life, and you’re prepared to work hard for it. So you’ve rounded up some old salty dogs, plus a sourpuss and a bitter goldfish. And set sail. The sea is a harsh mistress, but a good cook, at least if you like everything really salty. There are red skies tonight, so they’ll be making a batch of Sailor’s Delight, which you understand to have tuna fish in it. And soon you’ll be attacking merchant ships and taking their treasure. But the real treasure is the happy memories you’ll be making.

Trivia

Release date

New expansion now expected in November, to be announced in September.

I "finish" the expansion whenever; it's completely random, based on when I started and how much I focused on it. It's not actually done because it can keep changing until it's sent to the printer, so it does. RGG doesn't so much wait to put them out; they pick some convenient date in the future. October is especially appealing because that's when Spiel happens, the big gaming convention in Essen, Germany. So it's very common for expansions to come out in... November. They're planned for October and then get delayed. We put in the work to get this one done early and it's still looking like November. Allies was especially delayed, we thought it would come out last year.

For sure it was obvious that we had Allies and the 2E's this year; should the new expansion therefore wait? RGG decided no, and tried to get it to come out in October.

Previews and Teaser

Before posting and teaser or preview, on December 2, Donald X. posted a teaser for the teaser. This sparked an inordinate amount of discussion in the Dominion discord about what 85 could mean. The teaser revealed that to be the number of unique card names in the expansion.

Jim, while John had had "had," had had "had had." "Had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.

My teaser for the teaser is: 85.

Plunder previews will run from Dec. 12 through Dec. 16. As usual dominion.games plans to let people play the previews online.

Plunder itself has arrived in the US, but it still takes some time for it to get from place to place. We expect it after the 16th.
