Sunderwald is ultimately scheduled for Kickstarter in 2022 in a beautiful hardcover, full-color edition with all Joana's lovely art on a deck of tarot cards. 

So... what is the Sidequest edition? Like everything at Long Tail, it's an experiment. 

Firstly, I wanted to join the exciting project at Sidequest (seriously - check out the other games when you get a chance). Secondly, it's a chance to bring Sunderwald to gamers as early as possible, to build momentum and gather feedback ahead of the Kickstarter campaign. Thirdly, the Sidequest edition will frankly be a lot cheaper. 

In a time of skyrocketing production values - not to mention the printing and shipping crisis you may have heard about - this edition allows Long Tail to bring Sunderwald to your table quicker, cheaper, and with less risk for everybody involved. 

So what's different about this edition? 

• The cover is different (softcover)
• The illustrations are different (black and white) 
• There are no physical cards (you'll only receive the digital versions)

As for what's the same in both editions... the game text itself is absolutely finished and complete. Although we reserve the right to have cool ideas and make updates, this edition will be everything you need to play and enjoy the game. 

That's all for now. Thanks so much for taking the time to check out Sunderwald. 

Please get in touch if you have any questions, comments, or feedback about the project!
