Delays in Dungeons & Dragons' Deck of Many Things Release Due to Defects

Wizards of the Coast has announced a delay in the release of the physical edition of the Deck of Many Things set for Dungeons & Dragons due to manufacturing defects. The company plans to re-manufacture and re-distribute copies without the issues. The defect rate was deemed too high, with problems such as varying card shapes and sizes and tight paper bands damaging the cards. The delay does not affect digital owners or those who purchased the bundle. The issues are unrelated to cost-saving strategies and are instead attributed to recent waste reduction efforts in packaging. The set is expected to release by the end of the year.
