First Run of Mouse Guard Roleplaying Game Box Set Sells Out

In the heady days of my youth I was big into Magic: The Gathering. Actually, I should qualify that statement a bit further considering I still play Magic on XBLA. My point is there was a time when I was really into board and card games, such as Magic, Overpower, Spellfire, Star Wars and even the Middle Earth card game (which was a beast). Archaia is working to rope me back in with the super successful Mouse Guard Roleplaying Game Box Set.

The same Mouse Guard Roleplaying Game Box Set that has sold out of its first run.

Naturally, a second printing of the game is being rushed into production. In the meantime though, interested gamers can get limited sets of the dice and pawns available for separate purchase through Archaia's webstore.

“We’re ecstatic that Mouse Guard fans and RPG fans alike have responded so well to the Box Set,” said Kennedy. “And since there is such a high demand for the Mouse Guard Dice and the Pawns, we’ve made those available to fans for purchase exclusively through our online store.”

The Mouse Guard Roleplaying Game Box Set ($69.95, ISBN 978-1-936393-17-6) is a deluxe version of the original Mouse Guard Roleplaying Game hardcover book that uses Luke Crane’s Burning Wheel system and is illustrated by Mouse Guard creator David Petersen. In addition to the original rules book, the Box Set contains a 48-page supplement with all-new adventure scenarios and a host of game aids, including a GM deck of 12 Action Cards, two Player Decks of 12 Action Cards, Condition Cards, Characters Sheets, GM sheets, a GM screen, Mouse Dice, Mouse Tokens and a Map of the Mouse Territories.
