Nope. Nor does having a picture of the 70point score tile on the back. Youll probably get a nice stone scoretrack though!

Decar, you are saying that if a 70-point scoreboard is pictured on the back, it may not come with one? If this is the case, how can you distinguish a first edition version from others just by looking at the box?

I found one! See the I love the postman... thread for more details and for pictures.

All I will say hear is that this was really tough to find, so good luck to anybody searching!

Oh, and I can also confirm that there is no way to tell whether an edition contains an old scoreboard from the box alone. I compared the box I got today with another old edition I found (with the grey scoreboard) and the exterior of the boxes were identical. So that means that you can never be certain that you have a first edition if it is new and shrink-wrapped.

So if the back shows a grey board,
it could be both a 70.. or a grey board be, right?
or also a normal one?

A little question..

Can there be a line in the profile for these scoreboards?
We have a 1-Tile count line also!

No, sorry if I wasn't clear. If the back shows a grey board it is definitely not a 70-point board, but if the back shows a 70-point board it could just be a grey one.

Ah thanks!

Are all First Edition games only put out by HiG, or did Rio Grande put one out?

I am aware of an early copy in NZ, sealed, that includes the River Expansion. It is dated 2000, but on the back includes the SdJ2001 icon. On the front is a gold sticker on the plastic wrap saying "Winner Game of the Year".

The back shows the 70 point scoreboard though.

Is it worth getting?

Is it a woman or a soldier on the front?

Depends how crazy you are

Only the first edition from 2000 edition has the 70point score track. The Spiel das Jahre was awarded in 2001.

I then thought about it, and went into the roof to find the box my version came in. It was the same.

Oh well...

Decar · « **Reply #41 on:** April 10, 2016, 04:18:18 AM »

I thought you were going to say: ...and it already had a 70point score track inside. That would have been funny!

SRBO · « **Reply #42 on:** April 26, 2016, 03:12:26 PM »

Just out of curiosity.. how much would you pay for it..

Andrew the Ambo · « **Reply #43 on:** April 26, 2016, 05:14:58 PM »

That copy was NZ$40. Which is about 25 Euro.

Just ask Udo Schmidt what he thinks of prices for games here. $40 for a shrink wrapped copy is about par for the course.
