It’s certainly suffered from terrible distribution issues in the UK/Europe (there have been at least 3 different distributors since the KS) and was always pretty expensive, but it’s not been much better in the US with CMON distributing it themselves with few places to get it online other than CMON,

The attempted re-boot with the second book ran into problems (I think stock didn’t arrive from china when expected so what limited promotion CMON had done for it went nowhere) and on black Friday 2017 most of the line was available for 80% off (with the exception of some of the new book 2 stuff that had arrived in the warehouse for the first time only just before),

this stuff tricked out over the following year ), but by black Friday 2018 all of the Wrath of Kings range was 80% off and the official website hasn’t been updated since the end of 2017 so it very much looks like we’re not going to see anything further from it any time soon (a real shame)

to be fair to them their 2017 accounts show mini games (wrath of Kings + Dark age + maybe mini games stuff from their store?) only accounted for 0.9% of their revenue compared to 97.7% for boardgames

and with their Game of Thrones licence I don’t think they’re going to risk any more money/time of WoK or Dark Age)
