Most interesting question for many of us: does ist have a 70 point scoreboard?
Yeah. The back of the box shows one.

Whether the back of the box shows one is no indicator of whether it actually includes one. I think this box includes the old-style (grey) 50-point score track. Still a great find, and can't fault the price. Nice find! :(y)

I should have clarified that it was the 50 point track  :)
It was the first thing I checked and would have mentioned it in the post if it was.  :)
The 50 point track is printed in colour so not sure if that changes the vintage. Only the box cover suggests the 2002 edition.

Wanna play Carc? Can we add just one more expansion?

After much searching, I found myself a 70-point scoreboard! It was delivered today (though not actually by the postman).

 

Oh my goodness, this was hard to track down! About on par with finding a black teacher. I have contacted so many sellers (UK and international) on BoardGameGeek, Amazon, eBay, etc. (including the eBay listing that Dan sniped ;)).

I eventually found it by posting in a Facebook group called Roleplaying and Board Games for Sale UK & EU ONLY! which I found out about on some old Reddit thread about second hand board games in the UK.

Good luck to anyone else looking for it. I now consider my collection "complete" again. At least until I find out about some other must-have rare item via the completionism polls!

:'( Not so. I just made the seller an offer she couldn't refuse (before anyone else)

In your secret forum do you talk about how useless this scoreboard actually is?  >:D

I disagree. It can be useful for various purposes like: tracking the size of the largest / longest city / road when playing with King & Robber Baron, or you can use it for the Census expansion as well.  ;)

A super haul from Cundco today.

A copy of Schweinebande with lovey Dorris Mathaus artwork.  A lot of blank tiles. Two large bags of meeple. A copy of hills and sheep. Some cooking utensils. 3 meeple bag set from Rosco and I also decided to order a Grey Abbot:

It's only the second biggest order of tiles I've made.  Alas they are all of the new gloss-stock.  You should have seen the box my order came in.  It was the box they get their blank tiles from, a box of 210 I believe!
