Together with jazz singer Alice and hacker Fly, he plans what is probably the most sophisticated #heistofthecentury. On D-Day, of course, everything goes wrong. The three heroes are once again dependent on your help! Do you have it in you?

FINAL CALL: LOOKOUT WEBSHOP IS CLOSING

You might have noticed - over the past year - that we've expanded the Lookout team. This was important for us to focus more on our core business: developing great games for you that we also love to play ourselves: Atiwa, Cantaloop - Book 3: Against all odds, Eppi, Tipperary... However, sometimes you have to get smaller. Our fabulous colleague Britta, who managed the online shop so reliably for many years, is thinking about retirement & our warehouse is emptying. In addition, the current legal situation makes it difficult for us to make deliveries to neighboring Austria.

Therefore, we will shut down the Lookout online shop in summer 2023.

In preparation for this, we have spring-cleaned our warehouse and discovered some treasures, e.g. a few copies of the coveted The Colonists or the long lost issue of Neues vom Ausguck - Ausgabe 7 - including the The Colonists scenario "Die kaiserliche Post"^*!

Keep checking back in the next weeks - we will continuously add more items from our collection. There is sure to be one or the other bargain for you.

_{* Attention: The magazine as well as the scenario rules are only available in German!}

Have a great weekend!
the Lookout team

... DUE TO: CONSTRUCTION WORK!

We are back from SPIEL'22 and still blown away by the fabulous feedback we received for ATIWA, 15 years of Agricola - The Anniversary Box and our other new products. The plan was to put the remaining quantities from SPIEL'22 immediately into the webshop for you. Unfortunately, the road construction office had a different plan:

Due to road works on the access road of the Lookout warehouse, heavy deliveries are currently (nearly) not possible. As a result, our trade show goodies & remaining games are not expected to arrive there before the end of October.

Once they have arrived, the following items will be immediately added to the webshop :

• 15 years of Agricola - The Anniversary Box (English)
• 15 years of Agricola - Collector's Box (language neutral)
• ATIWA (German and English)
• Caverna - The Cave Farmers: Frantic Fiends (English)
• Hallertau promo (English)

Orders of all currently listed items from the webshop are still possible (but might have delays in shipment). Thank you for your patience!

ALL TRAINS ON TRACK WITH 1880 CHINA

We are happy to announce that the roll out of 1880 China is scheduled for later this month!

Is this your kind of track?

In 1880 China, players become railway magnates in faraway Asia. Based on 1830 (Revised Edition 2018) - Railways & Robber Barons by Francis Tresham, they experience China's railway history in a game that was designed to represent related historical events as correct as possible within its own game mechanics.

Being a classic 18XX game, the players are competing in becoming the richest. In order to gain money, they buy and sell shares of China's historical railway companies, build and expand their railway network and let trains travel on the networks. Shares of successful companies are worth more and owning them will increase the chance to win the game.

In the end, the player with the highest wealth combined from cash and shares is the winner of the game for 3-7 expert players aged 12 and up. A feast for railroads enthusiasts!

What’s new and where can I grab my copy?

The graphically revised edition of this 18XX spinoff by Leonhard Orgler and Helmut Ohley became a facelift by renowned artist Sofia Zhong. German edition will be available by end of August (for DACH region), preorders with your FLGS are open and there will be copies at the Lookout webshop later this month. Due to logistics, English edition for UK and US markets will be delivered this Autumn.

Look out for more #newsfromthelookout soon!

Have a good time,
Sabine
