Hello everyone, welcome to the mail. My name is Molly and today I wanted to go over two Stone Meer releases that have been announced. Um the first obviously is Duel of Malok which I have displayed there. It was released on June 24th, so a few days before I filmed this, and it's going to have a web store launch date of July 15th. It also will hopefully be available at Gen Con for release or demo. I believe Jamie said it's on track for release, but if not, they'll have demo copies um for sure. And Gen Con is early August, I believe. Um also retail for Duel of Melock will be mid to late August, so we should all have our hands on it pretty soon. I am super excited about Duel of Melock. Me and my wife Jamie were lead play testing on it, which was very exciting. Um, I'm really excited for the fan community to get a hold of this because as it being a duel of scythe or scythe and expeditions, it will kind of be amalgamation of two communities. And a little bit about duel of Melo. It's a one versus one dual game. Stonemer Meyer usually likes to release games one to six players. So they were Jamie was talking about how he was unsure how to fit like a duel game into the
Stonemer Meer model because he really likes them. They've been taken off. And so he had this idea of making Duel of Melo which is Scythe versus Expeditions, but it's also a more stuff expansion for each game. So, if you're interested in Scythe, you'll get more stuff for Scythe, a new faction, new mechs, new cards, and if you're interested in expeditions, there's new character, new stuff for expeditions, and it's also reverse compatible. So, we can play the new characters and factions in their respective games, but also we can bring the factions and characters from those games and battle in duel of Melo. And we can even do scythe versus scythe and expeditions versus expeditions.
And because of what Jamie shared about the lore of it that he worked with Yakob on, YaKob does the art and the 1920 plus universe. Um, it's a rift in spaceime arena style um arena style like battle type duel. Any anyway, what I'm trying to say is because of that, we could have characters fighting their faction and it all makes sense in this Rift and Spaceime multiverse. I'm excited for the fans to weigh in on all this. I'm excited for um all the stories of unique pairings, interesting combinations of factions versus characters, and all that fan content mixed in. Jamie did also announce he's working on a balance pack for Scythe to balance some of the characters and um player boards and all that and modernize it up with the Scythe community. So, I think it's going to be in a really good place even in a little bit later. Um super excited about this release. Just looking at my notes, making sure I shared everything. Um, oh, Jamie has some designed diaries coming out and probably already some out by the time this is released. By the time it does and they're going to go deeper into the story of the game and all that. I'm always hesitant to share too much in this like stage we're at.
Jamie just shared everything on the live cast on Wednesday, June 24th. So, I would advise watching that. It was a really interesting one. And then the other thing I wanted to share is the monster couch version of Wingspan has come out with the first fan pack. I believe it came out on June 15th. I only just recently got to play my first game with it. And it at least on Steam has a season pass. So I bought all the packs at once and then they're going to release one by one when they're ready. I imagine because it's released on all platforms, I imagine there's passes on Switch and Xbox and phones and all that, but I can only attest to it working on Steam. So, the first one is the British the British Birds Pack. It came out on June 15th, and it mixes and matches with all the other Wingspan digital content. And a reminder or to share with anyone who doesn't know in the Wingspan digital games, it's only the person creating the game that needs to own all the content. So if you have a little group of people and one person goes all in on all the extra expansions and packs, they can make the games and then if everyone else owns Wingspan Digital, they can join in and I'll play, which is how we often play. I'm the one who's purchased it all and then friends need only get the main game.
So, that's two things I'm super excited and enjoying in the Stone Meer releases right now. More word coming up for Duel of Melock. And just to reiterate at the end here, it'll have a July 15th release, so we're going to get a lot more info before then. Um, thanks for watching the Mill everybody. Bye.
