The components might be the most interesting part to share an order.

5 PCBs can be ordered at JLCPCB for 6€ including shipping to Germany. I would expect (but don't know) that it's similar all over Europe.

But at least the comparators need to be ordered at one of the big distributors and shipping will add a lot of cost if you don't order enough to get over the free shipping threshold.

Therefore it might make sense to offer full sets to people who are interested not just the PCBs. That's what I did a few times (other projects) and people appreciated that a lot.

I'm optimistic now. In the last few days there must be a big surge, like past campaigns. And it looks like the trend has already started. Just keep sharing!!

QuoteThe title was reviewed at the time for multiple platforms, including the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC. Reception was mixed: Commodore User felt the price was too steep for what was offered, while Your Spectrum appreciated the idea but felt more attention should have been paid to the software itself rather than the packaging and extras.
Despite these reviews, the game itself seemingly vanished — becoming one of many titles lost to time. Matt Gander managed to find the board game in 2022 in a charity shop – but tragically without the cassette tape. However, oddly the ZX Spectrum version seems to have been online for a while – though the Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC versions have been missing... That is, until now...
Colin Bell got in touch with Games That Weren't back in 2022 to say that he had the game, fully boxed and crucially complete with the cassette tape. Things got a lost a little bit, but then Colin got in touch again and we met up briefly at Zzap Live in 2025. Colin promised GTW that he would post the tape down for a loan and so to ensure the tape was fully preserved, and here we are.

I've moved the proposal to (French speaking) system-cfg.com forum. I propose there the PCB  with or without the 3 converters. The remaining of the bom is easy to source.

But if anyone here still wants one of those, you can contact me in PM and in English. I could probably ship in Europe for not much more than France. Other countries would be complicated, both for payements and shipping. But noone uses CPC outside of Europe, right ?
