Today I my 3rd anniversary game, this time already received one of the new edition. As with the first edition hit the wooden box with a loose wooden inlay. Furthermore KOSMOS has learned nothing from the mistakes of the first edition and still delivered poorer quality than in the first edition. - The hexes vary in size; thereby resulting in the construction of the playing field clearly visible columns. 10 of 11 Sea fields have clearly visible marks, 3 hexes have damaged corners. Next 3 Meerfelder are heavily pixelated. Let's see what arguments the distribution has time for all this technology. It is incomprehensible why is calling for a price increase for this edition (except for collecting the costs of complaints) and then a miserable quality is delivered. - My Tip: Search Lieber commercially by remnants (yes, there are, not all dealers have the resources for inspection and replacement to the publisher returned (-> eg KAUFHOF) and possibly reclaim defective parts.
