Hi All,

Update on game!!

Game well and truly on track. With new design features the board looks stunning. A new concept in board games. Two games in one! Based on historical facts and personalities!
Production will soon start after final fine 'tuning'. The wait will be worthwhile.
Game will be ready for conference.

Hello Jennifer & All,

The actual production of the game will be in the hands of a company that have had many years experience in the making of board games. They are themselves looking forward to starting production as they have never produced a game on this particular theme. The company do make quality games.

Sue and I started to work on a game way back in 1993/4. so it is nearly 10 years. We took Adam Wood on 'board' last year for his design and computer skills.

The game will be ready in time for the conference in August and will be sold there. Also it will be available on-line. We are in the process of setting up a web-site. In the meantime inquiries can be made by going to our other website where there is a picture of part of the game.

Game update,

'Whitechapel 1888' will be ready in time for 'Ripper' conference. It will be sold there at a big discount to conference attendees, before being offered on general sale.
We have had a lot of interest from many sources and many countries.

The game is in its final stages of design and the finishing touches are nearly all done.

If anyone wants to know more please e-mail us at Asptenbells@aol.com

Hello CMD,

Thanks for the post!! Yes as soon as we are in possesion (including our senses) of the game 'hot' off the presses you will have one.

The great thing about the game is that it does not name anyone or theorise about motives etc, it is just good fun and ideal for a wine, cheese and 'Ripper' evening.

Will keep all informed.

Andy & Sue.

When you say general sale do you mean i will be able to buy it in woolworths (or indeed any other high street department store!)

Hello Jennifer & all,

The game will be available from any outlet that chooses to stock it. We are in the process of building our own website so it will be sold on that. You will be able to purchase it from us by simply e-mailing Asptenbells@aol.com - Also we will be selling it thro' adverts in 'Ripper' mags. If we are not using 'middle men' etc we hope we can pass on a discount, especially when ordering straight from us.

A & S.
