Default GEV and other Pocket editions?

Love my "New Original" Ogre pocket edition! Been playing it quite often.

Any word on the release of GEV and the other pocket games? I'd love to get them all again as I lost most of the pocket games years ago.

All depends on sales. Wow us and it could happen. But only at a realistic price point.

I'd dig up the quote if I had time. Phil stated that if the current print run sells out by the end of the year, SJG would seriously consider Pocket GEV.

Blow us away with sales of Pocket Ogre. I'm serious. Hit Munchkin sales levels with Pocket Ogre in the first 45 days or so of distribution release and that will force us to look very, very seriously at a realistically-priced Pocket GEV.
Although, this doesn't give us much information to go on, other than: "Buy a ton of this game!"

We sell a few tons of Munchkin every month. Buy a ton of a $3 Ogre game by the deadline and I'll personally push in the office for Pocket GEV at a realistic MSRP.

I'm starting to wonder if we can gather all the cryptic NDA clues Phil's been dropping to find out roughly the number of copies he's not telling us about?

Weigh one munchkin game, calculate what a ton is, you are almost home.

I can put it this way. Sold this week on W23: Roughly 2% of the print run.

Once I'm back in the office in July then I can take time to dig deeper and check distribution sales. That's where the bulk should sell, so as long as 50% or more has shipped already then we are on a good path.

Phil, can you share how big the print run was?
