Fine Games' News

  1. Update Newsletter Frequency, Round 2. In our last issue, we noted that its been a while since we've produced a newsletter. In a aberrant way of making up for this, many of you received multiple copies of our last email. We apologize profusely for this, a result of our inexperience with a new, specialized emailer which itself appears a bit buggy. We certainly didn't intend to deliver multiple copies of our prior email, and we're sorry for the inconvenience that you may have experienced.

  2. Fine Games Celebrates its 11th Year. Fine Games completed its eleventh year of business last Tuesday, April Fools Day. This is no joke: we've had a surprisingly long and sometimes wild ride. Happy birthday to us!

  3. Deeper Discounts on New Games. We are increasing the possible discount on new games to 35% on most items. This is equivalent to 65% of list price on most items we can currently obtain from distributor stock. This is among the most competitive offers available anywhere.

    The details are these: First, all items under this offer are considered special order items. They will be obtained from our distributors stock; they will rarely be taken directly from our own stock on-hand. As such, they cannot be canceled once placed. Second, you will need to allow up to 30 days for us to ship your order. During that time, you must agree to allow us to do our job and not needlessly follow up on your order. (We will, of course, contact you if there is any problem filling your order.) Third, your payment must arrive in a timely fashion. If you can live with these limitations, let's do a deal!

    Fine Games will soon post a special catalog showing specific prices for items available under this offer. Until then, we'll be figuring the discount manually. For the moment, collectable card games and products by certain major publishers (such as TSR, White Wolf, etc.) are excluded.

    We make this offer to remain competitive in a difficult and shrinking strategy board game market. We aim to increase the flow of new games although it will be at a much lower level of profitability.

  4. Specials Deal Thru Tax Day. Until Tax Day, 15 April, we offer you our semi-annual clearance of games. This sale is our best deal on everything listed, currently 442 games, books and surplus PC hardware & software. The only qualification is that you must mention the special pricing for items in this sale to receive the sale price.

    In addition, we offer this short list of items we'd love to find a good home for. All are at close out prices, and all are a single copy in new condition offered first come, first served.

    Special Liquidation Items Offered on This Newsletter ONLY
    (You must be a newsletter subscriber to take advantage of this offer. See our main catalogs for further description of each items' condition & subject matter. ONE of EACH available.)

  5. 2002 Financial Results. Our revenues were down 25% over 2001. Ouch! That compounds a smaller decrease in 2001 over 2000, this business's zenith..

    We've long noted the ongoing attrition of players in our core wargaming market. Just as we've whined about the ever shrinking number of new releases in the board game end of the hobby. And running out of Avalon Hill products to sell. Add to that Fine Games' owner's energies were simply not on the business thru much of 2002 and here we are.

    No reason to panic; our cost structure is very low and we remain profitable. And we've got 10,000+ games to sell. As we've done from the start, this business will adapt to current circumstances. But you bet we're glad not to have massive "adjustments" to prior revenue or to goodwill like Hasbro (see below).

  6. Please Keep your Subscription Current. Please help us remain in contact with you by sending us notice whenever you change emails or move physically. We realize that this is a chore as one ISP gobbles up another then another. But if you wish to receive our emailings, please let us know of any change of contact info.

  7. Online Catalogs Updated Regularly. We update our online catalogs regularly -- generally 3 times a week and whenever we add a cache of new or used games. And we list our entire inventory (save duplicates). So you can trust what you see online to accurately reflect what Fine Games has to offer you at any moment. FYI.

 

Game Industry News

  1. Internet Sales Tax. You may remember from prior Update Newsletters several mentions of formal efforts to prevent state sales tax from being imposed on internet transactions. Things have changed a bit; the economy has tanked and the internet's novelty is wearing off. So, the states are still interested in the still-small potential tax revenues and are starting to coordinate their efforts to get some form of nationwide internet sales tax enacted. This would require a business located anywhere in the country to collect appropriate sales taxes on shipments to any other location in the country. Currently, only in-state shipments are taxed.
A sizable number of states are now proposing a simplified (i.e. manageable) plan involving a limited number of taxing jurisdictions and a standardized set of taxable commodities. That begins to make such a plan feasible, tho any final plan may still be a few years off. As the value of internet transactions grows, and sources of other revenue in a sour economy are exhausted, it seems inevitable that some form of national taxation plan will be implemented. As a (very) small business, we fear national sales tax system because of the accounting burden it would impose far more than its impact on prices..
  1. Notable Gaming Resources on the Internet. Our customers span the spectrum in their knowledge of the many resources on the internet. For those who haven't discovered these themselves, let us introduce you to three useful resources.
  1. Hasbro 2002 Financial Results. Hasbro had a transitional year. Sales increased, inventory was reduced, and before adjustments the company was more profitable than last year. (With their adjustments they had a substantial loss.) Magic the Gathering remains a cash cow for the company, as does the best selling game of the year, Trivial Pursuits 20th Anniversary edition ($52 at Fine Games). Thankfully, Pokemon isn't even mentioned in their press release!

 

Recent & Pending Game Releases

Clearly the biggest game release since our last Newsletter in February was Panzer Grenadier, Battle of the Bulge ($45 in-stock). This game extends this very popular tactical combat system into various actions during the Bulge (Dec. 1945). But don't forget about S&T 214 with Marathon & Granicus, two battles of ancient Greece ($15 in-stock). Euro Games produced Mare Nostrom ($36 in stock), a very nice looking & fast playing Civilization-like game of building empires around the Mediterranean. Mayfair published Settlers of the Stone Age ($37 in-stock), in which you develop the historical world during prehistory using the Settlers system. Lastly, MicroGame Design produced two new titles worth a look, Dutch Revolt 1566-1609 and No Middle Ground, the Golan 1973 (both $9 in-stock).
