Ever since its release about seven years ago, the popularity of the Trickerion base game has been steadily growing, with many of you asking about its availability as it has often been out of stock. The situation of our first game is a bit special: after a wildly successful Kickstarted in 2015 that far exceeded our expectations, we realized that we will need help in handling the wide retail release of a heavy Euro. This is where APE Games came in: we sub-licensed the publishing rights to them, meaning that they've been responsible for the reprints and distribution of the base game and the Dahlgaard's Gifts mini-expansion. We don't regret this decision one bit: Kevin Brusky, the head of APE Games, is an amazing partner and friend, and between carrying our very first game, sharing his booth space at GenCon with us for years, and offering help and advice at every step of the way, we have many, many things to thank him for.
However, now, with a larger team and a proper focus on distribution, we feel that the time has come for the "eldest brother" to return to the Mindclash family. We are extremely happy to announce that following our negotiations with APE Games, the distribution rights of the Trickerion base game have now reverted back to Mindclash Games, and we have already started preparations for the first reprint, scheduled to arrive in 2023 Q1!
