Preorder and Shipping Plans

Updated September 10, 2020

The most important thing to understand about this process is that there is planned to be limited mass production game availability except during preorder windows. I hope these will last a while at the fulfillment centers, but I have no plan to reprint games that go out of stock unless there is sufficient demand.

Future of Hand-Made Games

Hand-made games - Limited supplies of these will become available for once the mass production games take up less time. Possibly early 2021, but this will continue to slide out further to prioritize the mass production games.

1879

All-Aboard Games started several years ago, first as a hobby, then fulfilling orders for Deep Thought Games, and now designing and publishing on a larger scale. I am one of the lucky few that gets to turn their passion into a day job (and their basement into an 18xx game factory).





So, as time frees up to hand make games, these will be made available on the web store. An announcement for any new copies in the store will be made to the With that being said, it takes a lot to hand-make games. Resources, time, space, and a lot of physical energy. I'm going to be focusing more of that toward coordinating mass-production games now and in the future. I'll still be hand-making some games, but on a limited basis.So, as time frees up to hand make games, these will be made available on the web store. An announcement for any new copies in the store will be made to the AAG mailing list . Titles that are not expected to be mass production in the short term will be prioritized: 1761, 1858, and 1879. Some hand-made copies of other games may also be made available from extra parts.

I want to express my sincere thanks to everyone that helped me get this far. Designers, play-testers, the AAG team, and all of our customers and fans.
