Do people know what outlets will sell Ultimate Railroads when it is release in November 2021? Any preferred suggestions?
-
I guess, all of them.
For example Mindok announced that he will release Carcassonne 20th Anniversary edition also with czech/slovak/polish rules.

Please pardon the ultra-noob question, but which outlets fall into your idea of 'all of them'? Or at the least the main ones- :pink-meeple:

It's not a straightforward question unfortunately.
Railroads will be published by HiG. This covers Germany and Austria.
Devir has announced they are printing the Spanish version. This covers Spain, Portugal, Spanish speaking countries in America.
Zman have announced they will be publishing the English editions for USA, UK, and Australia.
Other countries have not announced yet, but it's likely most will follow.
It's not a straightforward question because distribution in each region is managed by their licence holder.
I suspect it will hit retail in most countries, meaning your Friendly Local Game Store (FLGS) will have it.
I doubt it will be on preorder much before October. I suspect there will be an initial run at Essen in Germany in October. But I'm guessing.
Early copies of English/Zman Paleo were sold from Cundco at Essen in 2020, so it may happen again. That was quicker than waiting for a a boat from the USA to arrive.
Sit back... wait and see... shop around.
I played Russian Railroads on BoardGameArena last week. It was a blast!

Good man. It's appreciated.

Scratch my initial suggestion.
Release date in Germany is 1st August, long before Essen.
