The all new Saint Petersburg will be available in early October of 2014.
I still have to say I’m not keen on established companies such as Hans im Glück utilizing crowd funding sites to bring releases to the public, seeing the whole purpose of crowd funding is to help small companies establish themselves, but it appears the big boys turning to the public to the cost and risks of production is now par for the course…
From Hans im Glück:
Imagine that you could found a city, and shape it according to your will. In 1703, Tsar Peter the Great began from nothing to create the city of Saint Petersburg. With this new edition of a true classic, you can re-enact the creation of one of the most beautiful cities of Russia.
You’ve asked for it, and now it’s time: The new edition of Saint Petersburg is finally here! Including a new game phase, new illustrations, and many more extras. This project has always had a special place in our hearts, having been requested so often by so many gamers. But despite the oft expressed interest, up to now we were never able to measure if enough support for a new edition actually existed. Now we at Hans im Glück, with the help of Spieleschmiede, would like to give a beautiful new life to Saint Petersburg.
What is Saint Petersburg?
Saint Petersburg is a multiple award winning board/card game, that combines uniquely combines tactics and strategy. The original version of Saint Petersburg came out in 2004, and received the Deutschen Spiele Preis, theInternational Gamers Award (best multi-player strategy), the Trictrac dor (game of the year), the Spiel der Spieleaward (Spiele-Hit for experts), and was nominated for the Spiel des Jahres. The new edition will contain not only the base game, but also the existing expansion by Karl-Heinz Schmiel.
What’s changed?
For this new edition of Saint Petersburg we’ve kept the well-known and loved basic game, but also added an additional game phase. This will allow us to fully integrate the fifth player into the game. The new market phase will introduce a new mechanic providing additional victory points and rubles. The purple action cards from the banquet expansion will also have matching cards for the market phase. And of course for lovers of the old version it will be still possible to play the game by the original rules.
