An anniversary celebration with some Spaßbremsen

First, the stable, really beautiful lacquered wooden box that catches your eye. The red is slightly darker than shown in the photos, the writing is golden and not yellowish. The hinges are made clean and the buckle fits perfectly. Inside it is divided into practical compartments. Really nice!

After opening, however, makes a little disillusionment.

The landscape elements:
- Instead of wood made the landscape parts of pressboard
- Some parts of the country glued to each other such that I could not get them apart without damage (minimal adhesive residues or flaking on the surface)
+ The images at the top are very nice
- Bottom of no printing, while there were sometimes even spending with motif ...

The game pieces:
- Not always worked clean, some knotholes or smears in the paint
+ It is the "Viking" -Spielsteine, known from the Catan Shop

Other facilities:
+/- Brief guide plus settlers Almanac, absolute standard; could have make something beautiful, high quality
- Place as shown (Figure 4) in a velvet bag, all the parts are in small plastic bags (supplement 24.09: Amazon has the picture to notice since been removed)
- Cheap-looking plastic trays for the resource cards
+ Beautiful motives in the commodity cards

Conclusion:
Since the extension for 5-6 players is included, the wooden box is made very valuable and beautiful Viking figurines are used, you get quite a bit of value for your money. Whether this is the well twice the price compared to the standard version justifies, everyone must decide for themselves.
Because I always wanted to have available a special version of settlers on the shelf ever (and I use the 3D Edition then not konnte- not afford and today it is sold out ...), so I have slammed; Who can do without a nice package, rather fetches the normal base game plus Cities & Knights for the same money.

Supplement from 24.09
Counts the wooden parts strictly after! After I read the official forum of frequent lack of information in the anniversary edition, I have recounted all 6 sets - and it actually lacks a brown road.
Although I assume that the cosmos me the gesture of goodwill for nothing sends to (ePost inquiry is just out), but a sign of sloppiness that will not quite fit on a special edition ..

Furthermore, I have noticed a negative, that the material is not particularly marked for 5-6 players, ie, man has been looking for this forever according to the instructions. A small indicator on the top would not have harmed?

Because of these two negative points I prefer still got later another star from; pity, but cosmos had quietly can give a little more effort for the birthday party of her favorite child!
