Wow, I remember struggling to get the $10 together to cover ADQ for the year. Those lawns didn't mow themselves back then.

For reference, $1.00 in 1983 = $2.52 in 2019, so a $5.50 pocket game would have cost $13.86 today.

I'd buy a bunch of those cardboard heroes products. I'd love to see a re-release of that line. :)

We can't quite hit that price these days, but we can make $20/game work.

It's also hard to get people to buy things at the production quality of many games of that era.

I would like to see, just dreaming out loud here, Cardboard Hero art on die-cut plasti-card counters, 115% enlarged either pre creased to fold and attach to a solid base or simple 2d renderings for Dungeon Fantasy style bases.

Highly unlikely to happen this year. Bringing those back in print would require a lot of work, and today’s market is too front-loaded to make the product viable unless we took it to Kickstarter. And even then, there’s still the work vs reward to balance.
