Author Topic: How do i know if it's a 1st edition (Read 6739 times)

Clownfeet · « **on:** April 13, 2016, 02:05:20 AM »

So i have a couple of offers to buy some "2000" editions of Carc. Rio Grande/HiG - no SdJ stickers or mentions. All 3 are in shrink wrap still and have a photo of the 70 point board on the back.

The thing is, i am after the 70 point board. Is there any way of specifically knowing if it will have a 70 point board in them without opening them up?

I myself do not know how to check if it has a seventies inside or not.

Perhaps weighing the value of selling it still in shrinkwrap and buying the scoreboard off the net, would it still be profitable?

Decar, the score board whisperer.

I just hope that if I say the right thing, I might score a few extra points in a game.

I am pretty sure that there is no way to tell for certain.

At one stage I had a first edition with the 70-point scoreboard and another early edition with a 50-point scoreboard. The two boxes were absolutely identical - I checked everything down to the text and serial numbers!

I do not think that there is any way to tell that a shrink-wrapped box has a 70-point scoreboard.

Are you sure it hadn't been swapped out - I've had that happen

Replaced by the superior 49-point scoretrack

Do you mean that the stone scoreboard might have been swapped in? No, I am sure that didn't happen - the box was still shrink wrapped when I got it.

I had a similar case.. Box gave the idea of an old edition. but when opened there were additional new rules and yellow scoreboard..

Clown feet - we could do a bit of a lottery - I buy one, you buy one and someone else buy the third and one of us may strike gold!

today i recieved mine,

The biggest difference as I see it now is this:

2000 edition: (with 70- scoreboard)
- Yellow warrior in right corner,
- 70-scoreboard on the back
- no mention of 2001 game of the year.

2000 edition: (with grey scoreboard)
- shows grey scoreboard on the back
- yellow lady in right corner
- no mention of 2001 nomination of game of the year.

2001 edition: (yellow scoreboard)
- shows grey scoreboard on the back
- yellow lady in right corner
- mentions the 2001 nomination of game of the year.

Later editions: (yellow scoreboard)
- shows yellow scoreboard on the back
- shows yellow lady in right corner and the pig rider in the field
- mentions the 2001 nomination of game of the year.

i can tell the barcode, but i think it's different in many countries.

above details are for the dutch versions..
