Fantasy Flight Games' Line-up for February 2012

Fantasy Flight Games' Line-up for February 2012
Board Game: Merchant of Venus (Second Edition)
U.S. publisher Fantasy Flight Games has announced a short list of titles for release in February 2012, including its new version of Richard Hamblen's Merchant of Venus, which was announced in late October 2011 in the wake of Stronghold Games announcing a reprint of the title. (More details on the initial situation in this BGG News post, with an update on the situation in mid-November from Stronghold's Kevin Nesbitt.)

Now FFG has put an expected release date on the game (February 2012), a price tag ($60), and a list of the alien races to be included in the game: Human, Whynom, Qossuth, and Eeepeeep. No other details yet on the "expanding game play...that will cause even the most hardcore fan to celebrate."

The only other non-RPG releases from FFG for February 2012 are three expansions for Living Card Games:

• A Game of Thrones: The Card Game - Trial by Combat
• Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game - Written and Bound
• The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game - Road to Rivendell

Also, FFG notes that the second edition of A Game of Thrones: The Board Game has now shipped to U.S. distributors and stores and should be available for purchase.
