Fourentee 989 Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Pix of MCS being played in Poland. Presence of actual bikes definitely adds a certain something! http://www.mcsgra.co..._id=295&lang=en Edited April 4, 2013 by Fourentee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Papryk Ash 4 Posted April 4, 2013 We have finally found time to dub the MCS videos on YT, so if you wish to check out the game components along with the actual gameplay, follow the links below: 1. GAME OVERVIEW 2. EXAMPLE OF PLAY Btw, if any of you happen to be in Italy this weekend - I seriously doubt it but it never hurts to ask - MCS is going to be presented at the gaming festival in Modena PLAY 2013. Visitors will be able to play the game, take part in some tournaments and get the game at a promotional price. Look for PORTAL PUBLISHING stand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen7 15 Posted April 7, 2013 I have been a specialist games fan all my life, and also as a Speedway fan, I would pay £18 for it, as having read the basics it looks like a well thought out game. I am just looking into how to buy it, and will be placing an order. It is never going to be a mass market game, but for the specialist games market, of which there is quite a large 'sports games' following, without the purchasers necessarily being fans of that particular sport. So on that basis £18 will be a fair price to those kind of buyers. I wish you well with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We would like to make one more video, in which we would just be playing the game with English commentary. Perhaps this could give you even better idea how it plays. As for buying the game, an Italian distributor has just put up MCS on sale. Find it on our Board Game Geek profile under the game description on the left in a box called BGG marketplace. Still, I'm afraid the shipment costs can make it too expensive for your liking. Another option is to have somebody from Poland going to the UK take it with him/her. Once we were in talks with one club about the possibility of Polish riders doing just that. Perhaps you have this kind of opportunity as well. We could even arrange to send the game to such person as far as he/she is in Poland. The last, but probably the most reliable method is to have some UK retailer order 12 games from us (that's the smallest amount we ship to UK). If you found 11 interested people and a retailer, then there would be no risk involved (for the retailer) and it would make sense for all the parties. We could even negotiate the price with the retailer so he could lower the price slightly. Anyway - we are open to any suggestions should you have any.

Gemini 4,894 Posted April 8, 2013 Another option is to have somebody from Poland going to the UK take it with him/her. Anyone in the Coventry area would be laughing - we've got four of them in the team. Take your pick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen7 15 Posted April 8, 2013 Have you approached Travelling Man shops? They are a specialist games shop, with four locations in Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and York. They may take 12 copies, only 3 per shop.. Also Leisure Games in London, they have a shop, but sell a lot online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryce 349 Posted April 8, 2013 Leisure games is a great shop, and they often take a stall to trade fairs. I'd also be happy to buy a copy, so that's 2 of us already. Any more takers? Maybe we could get 12 of us just on the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fourentee 989 Posted April 8, 2013 Well, I'm in. Nine to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Papryk Ash 4 Posted April 14, 2013 As I have promised, in the links below you can find the presentation of MCS in action. This is a two-team match seen from the perspective of a visiting-team player. As for the riders representing the visiting team... well, you definitely did not expect to see THEM . Enjoy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeilWatson 1,995 Posted April 22, 2013 The cards have arrived at my office today, and they look excellent 'in the flesh'! The first sets have been dispatched by post today to early adopters, but there are a few sets still available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryce 349 Posted April 23, 2013 Got my copy today. (Thanks Neil!) It looks excellent. I'll give the game a real test this weekend when I play it with some hardened gamers who have no interest in speedway at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
