Koriko: A Magical Year (Preorder – Early 2027)

🔜 PREORDER DETAILS

This is a preorder for the updated boxed edition of Koriko: A Magical Year. You'll be charged upfront, including shipping. We estimate that we will begin delivering to those who preorder in early 2027.

🆕 REPRINT CHANGES

If you already know what this is and you're ready to preorder, here are the changes I've made in this reprint:

• Upgraded box: A magnetic ‘wrap-around’ lid instead of the original two-piece box.
• New box layout: A cardboard tray will hold the dice and cards underneath the book, making the box resemble a thick book rather than a wider, thinner package.
• Polished content: Artwork updates and fixes, as well as minor text fixes and clarity edits.

I don't have photos of the reprint yet—the photos on this listing are of the original edition. Rest assured, though, that we're putting our (award-winning!) efforts into making another beautiful product for you.

💸 PRICING

Preorder pricing will be £45. When the game is available at retail, this will increase to £50 ($65 in the US).

🏡 HOUSEKEEPING

What is this?

Hello! You must be here for Koriko. I'd be happy to show you around.

Koriko is a game for one player, designed for contemplative solo play. It’s a bubbling cauldron of simple rules and writing prompts, stirred together to produce the story of a teenage witch spending a year away from home in an unfamiliar city called Koriko.

You can read more about the game over here.

Is it good?

It's been lovely to see the positive reaction to Koriko in the years since its release. It's had some lovely reviews and awards from critics and players:

Can I buy it?

Perhaps because of all this nice attention, it's been mostly out of stock for a while now. It's also really expensive to print enough of it to be a viable product. So I'm running preorders to help towards the costs of a new print run.

Please note that the photos on this listing are of the original edition. Most of the components will look exactly the same, but the box will be different and you'll notice a few other changes too.

When will I get it?

My best estimate is early 2027. It's very possible it could come sooner than that, but the end of the year is often a chokepoint for moving physical goods around and I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Why get it now?

Preorder pricing will be £45. When the game available at retail, this will increase to £50 ($65 in the US), so this represents a small discount. You'll also be guaranteeing your copy, as I won't be in a position to print loads of extra stock (unless this does really well!) and it does tend to sell quickly.
