Can somebody please tell me weather or not this game is 4th edition? I am new to D&amp;D and want to get a good game.

Hey this is not the D&D 4th edition, it is a separate game of its own with few elements from the D&D series, much easier to play because you don't need a DM or make character sheets. Every player controls the monsters and every player controls their own hero's.

This is not the 4th edition. The one I received was the first edition from the original Kickstarter campaign. I still had to purchase the factions pack 1 and the upgraded plastic components. (The plastic domes, rocket VP trackers, and the three plastic components for the repulsor field, isolation field and the positron field) However, there is a new kickstarter campaign that includes the new 4th edition with the new Rocket dice. You might want to check that out! Hope this is helpful. I really do enjoy this game. Simply a fantastic system and enjoyed by all whom ever I teach it to.

So I recieved the expansion as a birthday present from my father-in-law. I haven't tried it yet, but it contains several "mini-expansions" some of which should work with 2-6 players, but most of them come with extra pieces and there are only enough for 4 players. By the way, it includes the great river, fishermen of catan, and the event deck - all of which were available from Game Informer magazine. These new releases do differ slightly, though, and there are several other scenarios that look very interesting. I guess it would be a personal judgement call whether you would want to give it a try or not. After I've played a few of them, I'll post again on this feed.

I don't know for sure, there is nothing that says what edition but all of the series for Settlers of Catan and the Seafarers start with a "3" so maybe that means 3rd edition. I'm sorry I'm not much help on this.

no differences in gameplay. just the design. it's an update from the company. that's all. the first edition will be some sort of an collector's edition now since it's out of print.

They are all like Ravenloft, they are board games, not pen and paper D&D. I think the new miniature sets offer something closer to 4e rules.

I haven't played previous versions, so I can't really offer a comparison. My experience with the 4th edition, however, has been great. The only flaw was some missing arrows that are tough to notice. Big whoop! GREAT game.

Multiple quests mix it up a bit. The play is redundant depending on the players. Playing each class once and a new quest each time will help for a few rounds. I personally can't play this continually.

Hi, I'm the designer of the game. I was concerned about all the rumors here, so I checked with the publisher. She told me that 5000 copies of the game had been sent to distributors during Q4, but some of the larger distributors may have sold out theirs already due to the Tabletop coverage. There are more on the way, though, and I suspect that some of the smaller places and local stores may still have copies available, so you shouldn't need to start scavenging quite yet!

This is a good start. You can see if you will like a dice based combat system. Not a lot of role playing or character making here.

Looks like it's Wizards. I have it for pre-order too and I jumped on the Wizards site right away and noticed that it was still saying late November so I began cursing Amazon. When I went to look right now to post the URL as evidence they'd updated it to Feb 15. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/214420000 I suppose Amazon's off the hook then.

The 4th edition is only different from the 1st-3rd in appearance, the rules are the same, but for example, one edition has sea tiles instead of borders.This is the basic, original game with a board extension for extra players, which is nice. The other "editions" are variations which simplify the game (family, junior) or change it up completely (Star Trek Catan) - probably not good starting points unless kids or complete trekkies are involved. Then there are expansions which require the core game (seafarers, cities & knights, traders & barbarians, explorers & pirates) and also have their own extension expansions.So yeah, just start with the core + extension.

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

I found this post at Board Game Geek to be particularly insightful and would probably follow his guide.http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/592228/so-im-considering-getting-into-agot-lcg-your-compr

I don't believe they reprinted Factions with the 4th Edition. However, it should be usable with the newer edition printing. Some symbol changes on the 4th Ed board may not match up. But, the functionality should be the same.

I believe this is the second edition of the game from Eagle Games, not sure of the differences from the 1st to 2nd, but as far as I know the one they are selling is the 2nd edition that was released in 2010.
