I have…many…cards which are duplicates within my personal collection; I’m going to be parting with them over the next few months. They’re not yet in the best state of organization despite being all Mint/UnP and carefully stored, which is why it’ll stretch out, posted here as I make progress.

idea to do a theme because I planned my husband’s 50th bday a couple months ago w/a dinosaurs theme. 😉

Love those displays and keep the ones we’ve got whole. Part of the reason the wife and I used to by whatever was left in those boxes. Stores were much less likely to say you couldn’t have the box if you were clearing inventory.

They would have been better off just making a single set of rules that combined both versions. Take the useful illustrations and assemblies from the basic set and incorporate them directly into the sheet with the full rules.

I always get a chuckle every time I see the Ocean’s Edge Deliverance. If I remember right. One of the sails has 2 different cannons on either side and both are different from what’s printed on the card. 😛

Paddle faster, I hear banjo music!

Yup, that one’s a mess!

Least favorite: Caribbean. Kind of went over why in another topic. This set just really needed a significant Cursed faction and could have had some nice minor faction stuff in it.

That’s pretty much how I felt about it, as well. A shame…
