So the big ones are for chips (or Crisps if you are from the UK) and the smaller ones are for Salsa, Guacamole, and French Onion dip right?

I suppose the French just call it Onion Dip.

Great haul! Although I can't quite make out what any of it is.

+1 merit for paying such close attention to scale and perspective...

I'm hoping if I get enough boxes, I'll be able to build an extension on the side of the house out of them...to put more boxes inside...it's boxes all the way down.

It's a copy of:
Arcadia Quest: Inferno + Pets + 4 ice dragons + two other boxes of loot! I also had a horde of characters to play with too!

Wasnt that the first winter edition?
And i didnt know that there are 2 tin box versions, whats the other one?
The other one is a slightly bigger, squarer box which includes the old-style 50-point score track as well as the base game + Traders & Builders. I think it's an HiG release but there's something funny about the thickness (or colour) of the tiles. I have it, but it's still in shrink-wrap so I don't want to open it!

I took some photos for those interested:

The tile at the top is a 2015 base game tile. The tile at the bottom is from the tin we're discussing.
The tiles look slightly larger and squarer. I think the print is ever so slightly higher resolution, but that might be to do with the finish or texture of the tile.

Here are the two tiles side on. It clear hear the tiles are made of a foam-board(?) rather than cardboard; as a result the tiles are much lighter.

Sorry the photo is ever so slightly out of focus.

The Trade tokens are made of the same material.

Decar,

Thanks for posting this. I have seen the gold box with the I&C and T&B expansions, but never the tin.

So an old art version of the game was printed after the new art had already come out in 2014?

No, this has been around for years.

Decar · « **Reply #1797 on:** March 05, 2017, 07:42:33 AM »

Both versions were available in shops at the same time last year...from this you can conclude all the old artwork is going to be reprinted and sold again.

These just came the other day.

Some old ... some new. Look forward to trying both!

Happy to see Troyes back in print along with its expansion.

Got a few nice things in today!
Got a new fairy from Latvia; Thanks MrNumbers! Super!
And my share of the big collection Halfling has organised! Spiel tiles, Darmstadt, The Plague and The Festival! (Btw, funny to see a few spelling mistakes on the rules tile, the english version. Can't find any on the german version

)
Thanks a lot guys!
