The Adventurers premiered at Gen Con Indy 2009 to great excitement. The tables were full with on-lookers throughout the four days of the show. Thanks to Frederic Henry, the designer of The Adventurers being on hand to demo the game, not only did players learn the game, they got insight into his design decisions. When Saturday came around and the game went on sale, there was already a line wrapping around the AEG booth, and the entire lot of 100 preview copies were sold within 1 hour and 15 minutes!

The Adventurers will next be seen at Internationale Spieltage in Essen, Germany in October 2009. Retailers at the Alliance Open House in Baltimore in October will also get a chance to play the game before it goes on sale to the general public later in the month.
