What Color Is Your T&B Box In English For The New Edition From Z-Man Games?

My box is blue.
My box is red.
I don't have a copy in English from Z-Man Games.
It is a different color / an option I missed (please reply below).
I have both blue and red.

Traders & Builders English Version In A Red Box
« on: January 25, 2018, 10:26:46 PM »
Today I went to a local board game shop and I saw T&B in English published my Z-Man Games in a red box. My copy of T&B is in blue box so I was wondering if anyone know if they have changed to printing T&B in a red box?
I bought a copy so I will post it here when I get a chance.

Yes there are different colors. I've seen for example also a green and blue wheel of fortune both official boxes.

The WoF has been released in blue boxes in German and English versions. As far as I've seen, the green version is only the Dutch version.
T&B is mostly in red boxes, but I believe I have seen blue boxes before as well.
Is your blue box from a different publisher?

It's definitely from Z-Man Games. They even show a blue version on their website.

you'll probably find this distinguishes between the light/dark city tiles.

Just get the big box and relax your completionist tenancies.
Saved me from paying the extra £15.00.

After opening the box I can confirm that the tiles in the red box have different colors to the tiles in the blue box. Also interestingly the bag is smaller and made of a different material.

Or you could do what I did and get it in a Blue Box, a Red Box and the new Big Box
