Mark Kaufman, V.P. of Sales and Marketing at Days of Wonder, has informed ICv2 that in spite of efforts to keep its key board games in stock throughout the holiday season, Ticket to Ride, Ticket to Ride USA 1910 Expansion, and Ticket to Ride Europe are currently out of stock from the manufacturer.  However Days of Wonder does expect to receive shipments of Ticket to Ride and Ticket to Ride USA 1910 by mid-December and a restock of Ticket to Ride Europe during the last week in December. Ticket to Ride -- Marklin Edition, the highest rated game in the series, is still available now.

Additionally Kaufman told ICv2 that Battlelore, Days of Wonder's new fantasy adventure game (see 'Days of Wonder's Battlelore') which ships to retailers from distributors next week, is already sold out from the manufacturer due to strong demand from distributors (who should still have the game in stock, at least initially).  Days of Wonder is expecting a new shipment of Battlelore in December.
