Did we know about the "X-Wing Starfield Game Tile Kit"?

[JaggedLittleFel 162]

I haven't seen it mentioned.

I spotted it as I was browsing everyones new favorite online dealer...

It was announced a long time ago but has been in development purgatory forever, for reasons unknown.

I believe they had some issues with the medium that they were using for the tiles.  I would say it is unlikely to come out.

according to that link they have 20 in stock.

They lie. Even on FFG's site it shows as unavailable. Not "out of stock." Unavailable.

I hope they redesign it as a neoprene mat.

It will probably still come out, just not in the form they originally announced.

if the edges were magnetic, i would be all for the tile kit, other than that, not going to waste my money.

 

i remember when it was announced this forum blew up with so much negativity. it may be why it's back in the r&d phase

anyone know the dimensions for the game mats, will they be 3x3?

if you are referring to the tiles, there were going to be 12 tiles (double-sided) in the box that were 12" x 12" in size so you could make the play area whatever size you wanted within those limits.

The tiles are deader than disco, I think.  Not sure why they don't take that down.

Any game mats they do will undoubtedly be 3x3, possibly larger sizes too depending on how the Huge Ship rules work for the alternate play modes.
