A new Games Workshop boxed set is something that should bring joy and cheer to hobbyists and gamers everywhere. Yet, it rarely seems to be that way. Time and again there isn’t enough stock to meet demand. Come the preorder day, if you don’t log on at 10 am sharp to place your order, then there’s a good chance you might miss out altogether. Surely, things would be different for their latest hot release, Warhammer Quest: Cursed City?

I should start by cutting GW some slack. 2020/21 has been unprecedented in its logistical difficulties. In the UK (where most of GW’s products are made) Cursed City hit the shops on the 17th of April, just a few days after non-essential shops were allowed to reopen. Preorders were opened a week before on the 10th. There will undoubtedly have been supply and warehouse issues in bringing this game to the street. We’ve seen these issues with GW and Fantasy Flight Games, with Playstations and Xboxes. With, well, just about everything really. I don’t think there are too many people who would have minded waiting a little longer for their Cursed City.
