Flash Duel Review and Sale

Here's a review of Flash Duel from what my Finnish friend describes as "the biggest boardgame website and authority in Finland." You might need Google Translate.

And for an American take, here's Fortress Ameritrash's review. Both sites said 4.5/5.

And while we're talking about Flash Duel, both versions are on sale at Amazon for a week for US customers. Deluxe version $39->$29. Regular version $15.99->12.99. Usually I'd say it's better to buy from my site, but Amazon has this crazy policy where they automatically disable your seller account over the holidays unless you sell 25 copies of something during September and October. I can't sell Yomi there yet because it's not manufactured yet, but I won't be able to list it there over the holidays unless I sell some Flash Duel there now. So now would be a good time to help out! Yeah it's weird. And again, this is only a US thing.

Thanks!

Flash Duel Deluxe Unboxing by HatchetJob

Here is proof that Flash Duel Deluxe really does exist in the UK, ha.

UK Shipping: A Reality

I am excited to announce that the UK government has approved me as an importer!

Right now, there are 20 copies of Flash Duel Deluxe in the UK, so if you're in Europe, you can order them from my site and not see the crazy shipping prices you've seen so far. In a few weeks, I'll have Flash Duel regular and more copies of Deluxe over there.

By the way, US customers can get $5 off Flash Duel Deluxe right now by ordering from either Amazon. I'm trying to switch over from one warehouse to another, so that's your opportunity to save a few bucks.

Also, effective immediately, you can now pre-order Puzzle Strike regular or Deluxe from Europe with shipping costs calculated as if from the UK as opposed to from the US. I'm not sure how many Puzzle Strikes I'll really send over there, so pre-ordering is a good idea.

I think a couple of you from Europe already pre-ordered and paid the shipping as if from the US. You can contact me (sirlin.net/contact or sirlin.net/chat), tell me what the difference is between shipping now and what you paid (go to www.sirlingames.com, add the game to your cart and you can see what shipping is now), and I will refund you the difference.

It was a lot of hassle to set this up, but it looks like it's finally going to work!

Flash Duel: Deluxe Unboxing

I forgot to post this video a while ago. It's an excited customer opening his Flash Duel: Deluxe.

Flash Duel is Released! (in the US)

Both the regular and deluxe versions of Flash Duel are now available. US-only for now, more countries later.

The regular version is cards-only (plus the rulesheet of course). The "board" is actually 5 cards that you lay end-to-end. Keep track of your position with a penny or token or whatever is nearby. The regular version is small and portable, and is only $16.

The deluxe version has a wooden box with awesome laser engraving on the sides. The board is a wooden two-piece board with vibrantly colorful graphics. You get two wooden pawns, five wooden win tokens (also laser engraved), and the rules and cards. It's fancy and just more fun to play with if you ask me (especially because of the board), but you can be the judge. The deluxe version is $45.

You can read a bit more about the game in my previous post. If you own the game, you might help out by submitting a review (or even discussion, play report, rating, whatever) of the game on boardgamegeek.com or Amazon.

Thanks for supporting the first Sirlin Games product!
