I told them that Carcassonne was my favorite game, but they shouldn't buy the old version sold here.
I was in a Books a Million store last weekend, which is basically a Barnes & Noble knock-off. Books, games, Funko Pops, coffee bar, all the same stuff. They had both versions of Carcassonne on the shelf, $34.95 for classic and $35.95 for revised.
A one-dollar discount for a game that was made obsolete in 2014, has virtually no retail expansions available, and can be had for 20 bucks on eBay any day of the week.
Funny thing was, the old ones all still had the remnants of torn-off tags that looked suspiciously like a B&N 50% off sticker. They would be wise to clearance those things out, if for no other reason than to eliminate consumer confusion for those customers who aren't aware of the ramifications of which edition they choose.
