Zee, at 4:26, you said the tiles do not fit in their designated spot. If you turn the tiles 90 degrees opposite from what the image shows, they do fit in that location. (Or at least mine does)

Nice breakdown of the differences.

Wow. Yes this is a wonderful game and I am glad the Mega box exists. But wow did it ever take me forever to get a playable copy. months of waiting for replacement parts and confusion buying second hand with two different Kickstarters with the latter adding extra content not in the first... just wow. But It's worth the wait. just hope your copy does not have missing pieces lol.

They still didn't fix the currency/tile color clash? [Edit fix typo]

[@bricelory9534]

This. This has made the game far more complicated than it needs to be, even if you understand the game completely, it is easy to get it all mixed up a bit and connect the colors improperly for a bit. So easy to fix if they'd just use different colors for things.

[@watcherfox9698]

The blue doesn't bother me so much since the tiles are light blue and the money is dark blue, and of course yellow and orange are not building colors. Green though... playing this game with experienced gamers, and still it's not uncommon for at some point in the game someone (sometimes me) to try to use green currency to buy a garden in a different colored stall. They really should've fixed this. Especially given that they changed the tile size, thus it's not an issue with maintaining compatibility with the older style.

I understand they wanted this to be less language dependent, but I think it was a bad move to not name the buildings on the tiles and scorecards. For newer players, even long time players like myself, it is difficult to remember the building names and it often comes down to "the brown ones" or "the blue ones". That really buries the theme and it loses some of the charm for me. 😢
