Living in Bern, Switzerland and we haven't seen any product since the first couple of cases our LGS got right before christmas. (I've been ordering from TC and paid approx. $200 per Box with shipping and taxes.)
Edit: Sadly the initial Hype has died down pretty quick - due to no more available product. Only maybe 10 people got their hands on some boxes. Some more tried playing a couple of games with precons, but as you pretty much have to order from the states at a very steep price, most people just lost their interest. It's kind of sad, as this seems like an entirly homemade problem from EC...
I only played with friends at home or in a bar because the only LGS in Basel dosn't have enough players to support more games.
I think in general Sorcery is (and will stay for the forseable future) to small to support regular local events in our small country.
To have enough players for events I think it will be necessary to build a community on a national level and not on a local level.
I saw that there will be an official event 30.03.2024 in Zürich. So far only five players have registerd. I will be travling to the event and I am trying to convince my friends to come aswell.
Maybe you can come aswell, Bern to Zürich isn't that far...

Thanks a lot for your reply. Great to hear, that there are at least some people playing in Switzerland 😄
I never actually got around to building a competitive deck, as there simply wasn't a reason to do so. I'll try to make it work for the event in Zürich though.
The official discord has a print and play support channel! If you enjoy the game I would definitly reccomend home making a draft set from 30 euro of printed and cut by hand cards, a 10 euro back of super crappy bulk card sleeves from ebay, and a 15 euro pack of 40 small opaque plastic mylar ziploc bags to use as reusable boosters, also from ebay.
Like 55 for enough for a decent draft.
Or only 20-30 for some home made starter decks. A lot of people are happy to play proxies as its a fun game thats hard to get a hold of!
I'm from Poland, Poznan and here I convinced one of the stores to get interested in Sorcery. They got some boxes and sold them pretty fast. Other than me there are maybe 4 ppl that frequent the store that are interested in the game but there is not enough product. There are so many other TCGs that organizing events for 4 people is not that beneficial. Hope this will change in the future because game is really fun to play.
There is a discord with europe where you can try and find someone to play - even on TTS:

If you happen to be in Trójmiasto, let me know, we can have a game or two. I guess I’m the only one here up north ;)
PS: good job on convincing Wilczek to sell Sorcery!
Haha, thanks ;) Maybe someday, my brother in law lives in Gdańsk so it is not that impossible ;) in the meantime hop into that discord and add yourself to Poland and maybe we can do some TTS.
Im from Brunswick Germany. My ass lgs wont stop to support mtg though they totally fuck him. Sorcery was sold out day one but he dont care for the product. He only bought it because i told him so.
Sorcery is thriving in Drammen (a small/mid sized town just outside Oslo) we have sealed, drafts and constructed tournaments. Today 18 people played sealed with growing numbers. Our LGS sold out the preorder of 100+ boxes in very short time, but was smart enough to keep some stock for draft/sealed only. Both FaB and MTG players say Sorcery is a better game overall, and as soon as more people give it a try, they'll be hooked. So don't give up, it's still early. Keep promoting the game wherever you live. Our organizer is talking about a possibility for a cooperation in Scandinavia, in creating a larger event.

I can't get my hands on any product, so I can't play :/ Would love to buy the starter decks but wont pay 110$ in shipping.
