This isn't the 'classic' board game. This is the digital banking edition where instead of playing with paper money it is played with a credit card that keeps track of the money. This is just like "monopoly - electronic banking edition'. I personally think for kids it's better to use the play money - more educational.

Why pay 20 or 30 dollars? Check the better thrift stores. I found game complete and looking just like new for $3.99 at Goodwill. I had no idea it was so expensive new, it's certainly not worth as much as everyone here seems to be spending their hard earned money to buy,

Where did you find it for $100.00? They sell it (yes the electronic version) at Target and Walmart for $20-$30.

I almost made the mistake of buying here for $55, but then found it at my local Wal-Mart for $30. Glad I didn't complete my order.

I just purchased it at my local wal mart for $7!!! I was worried it was recalled or something, but couldn't find any info online about it so I guess it was just a really great sale!!!

I bought this for ~$20 at Target. This game actually teaches people about spending habits. They actually include several brochures about spending money wisely too.

That was answered as yes, below. Incredible savings. I paid $60 a piece for each one of the 4 as they came out and then another $60 for the Mist of Pandaria which I see is now below $20 as well. So, my $300 paid for the initial expansion (not the monthly $14.99) now sells for about $30 here with a new one pending "this fall" at most likely $60. Great game though. But it is an MMO and so there are a lot of rude players that are mean to people, to include younger kids... And it does have drinking, killing and maiming... so not too suitable for kids, especially under 13 per them and 18 per me. I see no reason to desensitize kids to the language and Lord of the Flies mentality of many of the players. That was answered as yes, below. Incredible savings.

I have had 3 of these games, wore them out, love them. Want another one but is just to expensive. I hope you lower the price. 25.00 is the price I use to pay. victory@watchtv.net

It takes an hour, an hour and a half. I'd suggest downloading some custom dividers from Board Game Geek. They'll massively cut down on set up and pack up time.

If you get Intrigue you get a whole second set of treasure and Victory cards, so you would never run out, no matter how many play. The only limitation to players is really time the game takes and number of action card stacks available to buy. You can play with five or even six with just the basic game, but it tends to slow down waiting for the others, so you're better off to split tables. Even with the basic game you have plenty of action cards to provide a full game at two tables. If you'd rather play with six at one table, add an extra stack of action cards so they don't run out too soon. With an expansion you're golden for maybe four tables without cramping their style. I picture four tables, and when they all finish a game, they each pass a couple of stacks to the next table. Now THAT would be interesting. The game comes with enough action cards to provide a lot of variation, and each expansion (except Cornucopia and Alchemy) add at least another 25 so the options are endless. I just advise that for beginning players you start with one stack of cards costing 2 copper, two stacks costing 3, 3 stacks costing 4 and 5 each, and one stack costing 6. Then when you get good at it, you can go for random selection. I wish I could choose between expansions but each has a different focus, and adds an interesting twist.

Yes, unfortunately a lot of modern games nowadays are trying to push to digital downloads because it is cheaper, that is why there is such a limited copy of ASB, and also why the game has the safety information printed on the cover.

Please don't support this gouging. The game should be priced $20. I'd guess it will be available on Amazon and elsewhere soon at the proper price.

I'm sure you could just take it into Home Depot or some such and get the same things. BUT, this game is UNPLAYABLE!!!! It really is only good for decoration. HONESTLY - it is UNPLAYABLE.

This is the second edition, with the two new roles. The board I got has the connecting line between So Paulo and Lagos. If yours does not, Z-Man Games will replace it. The price keeps fluctuating, but the list price is $39.99.

Alan, i can't really answer your question. The copy of this game that i have for sale is $150.00. The reason it is priced at $150.00 is that based on the other copies available at the time I listed it $150.00 seemed like a fair price based on what other seller were asking for their copies. Beyond that, I'm at a loss. I don't play video games and don't really know what an Expansion Pack involves and so I've no idea why they only cost $5.00. Perhaps there is less to them than the game itself.

And also yes... You can choose between several nice games. Not all of the choices you can make are "50$ games" however there are some that are worth about that.

I think I have the second edition Plus the factions expansion I think they are out with a fourth edition this year and a new expansion is coming out DEC this year. I don't think the faction expansion is worth it I hardly ever play it. If you need more info go to www.boardgamegeek.com

Use a permanent market and color in the colors he can see.....it is a great game and hope you can select a color suitable.....it will take a few minutes to color all the tiles but worth the enjoyment in the end!!

My son, to whom this game belongs, says he doesn't think you can get one on a used game. Bear in mind, though, he is 13 and may not know what he is talking about. We have a used game store in our town. If it were me, I'd call that store and see if they had any advice - do you have anything like that where you live?

I agree! It is absolutely crazy that on Saturday night when I placed it in my cart it had dropped to $41.99 (unable to finalize purchase because I was waiting for an email reply from TT support regarding the functions of Deluxe version). The next day it was at $49.99. Now it is listed at $53.99! For goodness sake, give me your best offer - then leave it alone while I resolve all of the other issues with TT and make a decision.

In truth this is a hobby game. That means you expect to play it over several nights and enjoy playing board games. It is quite fun, and I think it is worth it, but I have more opertunities to play it than an average person. If you have a group of friends who hang out regularly and enjoy tension and hard thinking then buy it. If not, this might not be a good purchase.
