  its staggering to me that this new anniversary edition is even uglier than the original, but the game itself is fantastic.

  superb at two players for those looking for a couples game, great at three, but maybe outstays its welcome a bit at four unless you're really going quick.

  would anyone happen to know, despite the description, if there would be an English instruction manual?
  seems a bit far fetched that they would go through the effort of making an edition with a few languages but not english
  unfortunately cannot see the back of the box

  the description on the Amazon US website also says Spanish

  I'm a bit old school and prefer a printed manual (and too miserly to buy a colour printer)

    I think there are likely to be English instructions. People who bought the game from Amazon answered questions for the listing about this said they received English instructions.

  +1

  I suspect that there will be English instructions with the game as multiple people have commented in the listing that the one they received was in English.

  Anyone else have a missing board in their copy, specifically 2/11f? Apparently, this isn't the first time this has happened. I contacted Amazon and got a full refund; kept the game. I don't think Ravensburger Australia are gonna help beyond advising me to just buy another copy, and I'm not sure the UK lot would be willing to help, either.

    Hey Jeffie
    Just checking is the game playable with the missing board?
    Did you order from Amazon UK?

    • 

      Jeffie on 22/01/2022 - 19:32

      It's playable until I want to play with board 11f, or when I want to play on board 2 with 4 players (- I have the other 3 copies of board 2).

      I did order from Amazon UK but I imagine getting on to them would be more difficult; will try if necessary. Ravensburger Australia did get back to me on Friday to confirm the product in question; hopefully that means something can be done by them. Will have to wait and see.

• 

  docians on 22/01/2022 - 20:02

  Oh so to clarify board 2 and boards 11f are missing?
  I'll have to check my box

  • 

    Jeffie on 22/01/2022 - 20:56

    It's one double-sided board: 2 on one side, 11f on the other. I didn't notice until I did a thorough check, as the double sidings can get confusing.

      I've opened my box, apart from the main board and th dice I'm having trouble identifying what is what- wish the instruction manual was more helpful in that manner. I shall specifically try and look for board 2/ 11f

      • 

        docians on 23/01/2022 - 16:18

        Managed to check my boards contents- everything intact

          @docians: Nice.

            @Jeffie: Honestly would have preferred one missing board and get a full refund like you did :)

              @docians: Haha. Literally just got a response from Ravensburger UK; looks like no one can help me. Gonna have to see if I can make a custom board, but need to find the relevant images online. Sadly, BGG doesn't have them.

              • 

                Jeffie on 24/01/2022 - 23:46

                @Jeffie: Actually, found in the images section. Was looking in the files section before.

              @docians: Fixed, thanks to Officeworks. The replacement board (top) is slightly smaller and thinner but the tiles fit perfectly; just need to trim down the white border. Will be amusing telling people that I got the game for $1.78.

                @Jeffie: As per comments on BGG Ravensburger is usually good with replacing missing pieces

                A bit disappointed that they didn't help you out
