Report from Marcin Malinowski (Untamedsword)
Chronopia at Salute 53
Salute 53 marked an exciting milestone for us, as it was the first time Chronopia appeared under the Untamed Sword banner—and what a debut it was.

Our beautifully crafted Chronopia city outskirts demo board quickly became a focal point of the event. The table was in constant use throughout the show, and demand was so high that we frequently ran two demo games simultaneously. It was fantastic to see so many players eager to dive in.

The response to the new ruleset has been overwhelmingly positive. Players consistently highlighted how clear, intuitive, and easy to pick up the system is—exactly what we aimed to achieve.

One of the biggest surprises was how many visitors were unaware that Chronopia has been around for nearly three decades. Our Classic Line display, featuring original 1st edition miniatures, sparked a lot of interest and helped showcase the game’s rich history.

We were especially delighted to meet long-time fans of Chronopia. Many shared stories of their collections and promised to dig out their old miniatures to try the new rules—something we’re incredibly excited to see.

Our presentation also drew plenty of attention. The striking box designs and expertly painted miniatures, both on display and within our cabinet, proved to be a real crowd-puller.

What’s Next?
Our next major stop will be the UK Games Expo in Birmingham, and preparations are already underway.

We are also working hard on launching our brand-new website: www.untamedsword.co.uk⁠ (coming soon)

The launch will include exciting updates, most notably the long-awaited rulebook errata.

In addition, our online store will be opening next week: www.chronopia.shop⁠

While the shop will be UK-based, we’ll be accepting orders worldwide. For those who prefer ordering through local distribution hubs, current estimates are:
* European Union: May–June
* United States: July–August

Looking Ahead
Once the errata is published, it will be incorporated into the rulebook for a second print run. This edition will be distributed to backers in the US and Europe, with shipping to follow shortly after.

Thank you to everyone who visited us at Salute 53—we can’t wait to see you again soon!
