1/19/2003 - The

Infinite Space listed as a March
release but in Cheapass Games
January Press Release "More of the
Same Program" with a "Year in
Space" theme. In addition to
the Light Speed real time
game, it mentions:
"In March 2003
look for Diceland: Infinite Space.
Two expansions for Diceland
featuring spaceships from the computer
game Strange Adventures in Infinite
Space, Cheapass'
award-nominated computer game. Nearly 50
new dice in 2 new boxes can't conceal the
fact that this is, like the original Diceland:
Deep White Sea, just another
innovative tabletop combat game featuring
unique rules and colorful paper dice."
10/11/2002 -
Pushed back again. The latest info
on the Cheapass Games Coming Soon
page says:
The next Diceland
expansion, "Infinite Space,"
features ships from our great new computer
game, Strange Adventures in Infinite
Space, and we hope it will ship in the
first quarter of 2003.
9/7/2002 - Cheepass
Games has reduced staff and as a
result some products will be
delayed. Specifically Diceland:
Infinite Space should now be out
in November or December
7/24/2002 - I
found a better preview of Diceland:
Infinite Space on Cheepass's
website:
"The first
official expansion for Diceland is set in
the world of our new computer game,
Strange Adventures in Infinite Space. Four
armies of spaceships from the Diceland
universe, including the Muktians, the
Garthans, the Terrans, and the Urluquai,
plus one extra die (the Klackar) make
Diceland: Infinite Space a complete
stand-alone Diceland set. In addition, the
dice are completely balanced (though
thematically jarring) with the characters
in Dicleand: Deep White Sea. Diceland:
Infinite Space will also contain rules for
combining armies and building your own
crews, and several new abilities including
Cloaking! Coming in September 2002, 25
dice for $15."
7/16/2002 - Diceland
is a tabletop combat game that uses paper
dice as the characters. The dice are
eight-sided, printed in full color, and
about 2 inches to a side. Each die is
pre-cut and scored, and assembles with
just tabs and slots. The "paper"
in these paper dice is 12-point coated
cardstock, which makes these dice solid
enough to withstand any amount of normal
play.
Due out in September is
the 2nd expansion, Infinite Space,
which takes the game into space includes
four new armies of spaceships from the Cheapass
computer game Strange Adventures in
Infinite Space as well as new
combat and construction rules.
