(For background on 3 Ring Circus, you can read the designers' diary about the game.)

KOSMOS has announced that it will release German editions of Luc Rémond's Sky Team and 3 Ring Circus from Remo Conzadori and Fabio Lopiano in the first half of 2024.

What is the market for a six-hour, four-player-only game about German politics from a well-known designer? The Kickstarter had 1,155 backers, so that's a floor, I guess, with the 200+ English copies bumping that total up by another 17% - but beyond that? Says Ross, 'e'll take the game one step at a time to see what the market reaction is and reassess the demand for a reprint through crowdfunding or other means if the need arises.' That's not a knock against the game design at all - if you take into consideration all the variables (excluding core gameplay mechanics) at hand, from player count (four-player-only), play time (up to six hours, although the game can be shorter depending on what course the game takes!), and theme (historical German politics), our audience in the North American market is significantly limited compared to most of the other games we provide.' Going into this project with Matthias Cramer and the guys at Skellig & Spielworxx, we all knew this would be a very niche market game. Says Capstone's Clay Ross, ' Weimar is the smallest print run we've ever done. 8, 2023 - for sale solely on its website.

Matthias Cramer's Weimar: The Fight for Democracy was crowdfunded in September 2022, and after fulfillment of that project, publishers Spielworxx and Skelling Games debuted the German edition of the game at SPIEL Essen 23.Ĭapstone Games has the remainder of the English print run - just over two hundred copies as of Nov.
