CII French editions
« on: February 20, 2018, 12:04:07 PM »
I don't know how some of you are fanatic completionist, but i noticed the publisher of CII changed in France.
It was edited by Filosofia, but starting with BB6, i'm know seeing Z-Man Games as the publisher on all boxes. So seems there must already be different versions of CII boxes in France.

I picked up the french Z-Man Inns & Cathedrals extension today for work, and was surprised to find another set of River inside, a 12 tiles set. I don't have a CII at home to compare, but it looks like a River I to me... It is mentionned nowhere on the box or the leaflet. Any idea why ?

Are you sure Plaid Hat owned Z-Man? I didn't think Colby's operation ever grew to the size where it would be making such a big acquisition.

Maybe not, but F2Z was the holding company of all of these smaller firms.  I remember raising a support ticket to zman a few years back and got a reply from Plaid Hat.
