This morning I joined the Jamey Stegmaier signature club with the arrival of the latest Rolling Realms promo packs.

Admitting this will open me up to much ridicule at this Fridays club night. But I’m looking forward to the banter between friends.

Sadly the card I got wasn’t a Scythe card, for the obvious reason. But it was a Viticulture card which is also a favourite game.

I should point out that when you put a signed card in your basket on the Stonemaier online shop you have no control over the card you get. It is a random signed card from one of his games that gets sent to you.

So if you want a specific signed game card then you need to rely on luck and any specific deity you believe in to hopefully get a signed card from that game.

It almost has that MtG pack opening feel when you look to see what rare you got, and if it’s full art or foiled when you get your signed card.

I can see it being just as addictive as you hunt that specific game card.

In an ideal world Jamey would be at a UKGE so I can get my copy of Scythe signed. In the meantime I’ll settle for the hunt for a signed Scythe encounter card.

Included with the Rolling Realms promo packs was a free copy of Jamey’s latest game (designed specifically to celebrate Stonemaier Games tenth anniversary) Smitten.

Smitten is a ten minute playtime co-op micro game for two players.

I’m looking forward to getting it to the table. Until then it joins the other 56 games left to play in my unplayed owned games challenge.

But wait I’ve not even mentioned the new Rolling Realms promo packs yet!

There are three previous Rolling Realms promo packs released, Terra Mystica, Libertalia, and Rolling Realms.

Which are now joined by promo packs for the following games Smitten, A Feast for Odin, and Honey Buzz.

The latest three are unusual in that they were released all at the same time. Whilst the previous ones were released by themselves.

Doing it the current way means that we save on postage when just ordering them. Previously when it was a single promo pack it was hard to justify only ordering the promo pack. Although obviously I did!

With the latest promo packs added to Rolling Realms (assuming you have the previous ones to) the number of realms you are choosing from goes from the core eleven to seventeen. And that will only grow as more promo packs are released.

It’s almost like Rolling Realms is a living roll and write.

At some point I’d like to see Stonemaier do a promo pack that adds new cards to the solo mode that make use of the promo pack realms. At the moment I think Hole 18 is the only one that could use the promo realms instead of core game cards.

Well that’s it for this post, I’ll just add once again happy tenth anniversary to Jamey and all those at Stonemaier Games. Thanks for all the fun times.
