CMON's SDCC Exclusives: A Betrayal to Loyal Fans and Backers?

Image
In recent years, CMON has built a reputation for creating some of the most beloved board games in the industry. Titles like Zombicide , Dune , Cyberpunk 2077 , Cthulhu: Death May Die , Arcadia Quest and Marvel United have garnered a dedicated fanbase, many of whom have supported these games through Kickstarter campaigns and retail purchases. However, CMON's recent decision to make exclusive content for these games available only at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) has sparked significant outrage among its loyal supporters. The Exclusivity Issue At the heart of the controversy are the exclusive expansions and content for Zombicide: White Death, Cthulhu: Death May Die, and Marvel United. These exclusives include: Zombicide: White Death TMNT Expansion: Featuring comics and Rocksteady and Bebop miniatures for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles expansion. This expansion is only available at SDCC, but was highly requested by backers during the entire campaign. Godzilla Expansion for Cthulhu: D

Pokémon TCG: Shiny Star V Zacian and Zamazenta Revealed

Two more cards for the upcoming Japanese Pokémon TCG set Sword and Shield Shiny Star V have been revealed. Like most cards in the set outside of the new Shiny cards, these are reprints from previously released cards in our English set. Zacian (136/190) and Zamazenta (138/190) are the same cards from Rebel Clash. Translation Credit to @ToineLay

Because so many cards have already been released in English, this set appears to have been planned for awhile and then added to our sets. It's very rare for the English set to get a card first, so the big question is will Shiny Star V be part of our 25th Anniversary set or our next Fall set like Hidden Fates and Champion's Path? We are leaning toward the latter as the set will be pretty sparse without all the reprints, while having it toward the end of the year allows additional Japanese sets to come out to fill out the Fall set. We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
